The Mary having advertized that she would sail on the 20 Instant, I sent you the Irish papers to that date, as it might happen, that they would shew you what is doing in France, before a French Gazette of so late a Date could arrive at Philadelphia.

I now find that she will not sail untill to morrow, therefore have Collected a few more papers in which there is some Important news of the Conduct and Resolutions of the National Assembly. If they carry the points into Effect, which they have already Voted, the Grand Monarch will be the most Limited Prince in Europe. The Vote in respect to the Veto, looks Like a true Republican Spirit.

This Kingdom is in Great Suspence, Reports indicate a Dissolution of the present Parliament before Christmass. Other  ?  say, that our present Imperious and Daring Vice-roy will return and have a host of Enemies. I wish he may for he has broke faith, repeatedly pledged for never granting Pensions or Ever adding to the National Expences—he has granted a Number of Pensions and Created many new Employments. He has added two additional Commissioners in defiance of the repeated Resolutions of the House of Commons; I was broke of my Employment on that occasion in the Vice ? ency of Lord Townshend. It was, on that Question, brought to the Chair who decided against the Appointment, in Consequence thereof other Spirited Resolutions were entered into—yet Buckingham has d  ?  to bid defiance to them. The Spirit of France in respect to Tythes begins to prevail here. Our Bishops have taken the Alarm.

Lady Newenham and all this family join in Every sentiment of Respect and unalterable Esteem. I have the Honor, to be, my Dear Sir your Excellencys Most obliged and faithfull Humble Servant
