as Birds of Passage who visit different countries
different Seasons.
Your thoughts probably have been too much engaged
to attend to the any occurrances in England or you
may have had an opportunity of being acquainted
with them at this distance. I will therefore give
you some account —sometime in Novr last the King
& I may say His Country too had the misfortune
to of being attacked with a sever Malady of
the most melancholy kind an Insanity; which
rendered him incapable of atten concerning himself
the least in the affairs of Government: on accnt
it became absolutely necessary for Parliament to proceed to appoint a Regent
that intended Regent was the Prince of Wales, but
unfortunately for him & the Nation, he was
known to be so firmly attached to a Set of
those about him, that every body said a total
Change of Ministry wod be the immediate
consequence w.ch & yt all the King's occasional
servants wod
be dismissed. Mr Pitt & Lord
Thurlow the Chancellor were both of them to
go out, wch they themselves did not oppose
but by the Steadyness & and their
popularity & in both Houses of Parliament
they got the Bill in to the Houses to be
so qualified as to restrain the Regent in the execution of his power in many
respects, & in their attempt to do that, &
the opposition their attempts met with
Mr Roc, Sheridan & Reece who
were to be the New Ministry under the
Regency. So much time was taken around
passing the Bill thro' both Houses that it
gave time for a Chance of the King's Recovery
which has just now happily taken place
and he is now perfectly restored to his health
