Q.S.P. called on me this morning
and we settled the matter, as mentioned in my last. I
shall write to M. about it to night
The public prints will inform you of the outrages
committed here for some days past by the anti-catholic
mob set on by Lord George Gordon — Many houses
have been pulled or burnt down in various parts of London. The
Sardinian Ministers Chapel near Lincoln's Inn Fields I saw in flames on Saturday
from my chamber window. Newgate is in flames
while I am writing; a gentleman has this instant
called on me who has been seeing it. This was done
free some of the soldiers who had been committed thither.
Whether that part of the design has succeeded or no
I have not yet learnt. The two Houses I believe are still
sitting. Ld Sandwich and several other members have been
insulted again today. Proclamations have at length been
issued offering rewards for the discovery of offenders. While I was
at dinner today at my fathers came a card from the D. of
Northumberland desiring his attendance "on business of the utmost importance"
in the most pressing terms. The Soldiers are not yet permitted
to fire. The mob attack them with impunity and take their bayonets from them. My Hairdresser
saw yesterday a parcel of bayonets that had been wrenched off the musquets
of a party who were on their
return from Newgate, and thrown under the grate of the common Sewer
near Temple Bar.
