the Streets & Square in &
proceeding thro' Pall Mall got into St. James's Street
and having got up nearly to the top of it next
to Piccadilly, we were so jammed in by other
Carriage who for the most part had Coronets
upon their back it was impossible for ours
to make move either backwards or forwards or backwards
or at either side for above 2 hours at last we
made slip to get into Piccadilly & there we were
strucked more an hour by the Concourse of the
greatest number of Carriages of the Nobility & others
I ever saw we however afterwards Shaft
to drive into Berkley Square Hanover Square
and Lincoln's Inn Fields & so home, at whch we
did not arrive till near two o Clk in the
morning tho' we set out upon our travels, at
Eight o' Clk
in the Evening and I do
believe this country was never sensible of so
much happiness before, the King is become the
Idol of the his People & so much he is treasured that the restoration of his health is in general
looked upon to be their Salvation and for your
amusement upon the occasion I have inclosed sent you
the news Paper of to day as it contains som a
more general description of the Illuminations than
I am capable of giving you otherwise myself —
; deserted Mr Pitt &c among whom I
am sorry to acquaint you was your friend Sir James
Harris, notwithstanding their Mr Pitts Recommendation

Peer by the Title of Lord Malmesbury, who has now
given up his Embassy to Holland, where he had
acquired great credit by the share he had in negotiating
the late Treaty concluded between our Court & the King
of Russia & the States General, If the Prince had been
appointed Regent wch wd been here the case had the
King's illness continued a fortnight longer his Lordship
it is thought wod have either been sent Ambassador
to or been made Secretary of State here at home
but the bar lost every thing I mean every
kind of appointment & has nothing to do but to
