in short, of Contraries which chequer the scene, where the Sweets
serve to palliate the Bitters — and Each qualify's the other, so
as to enable us to rub on to the end. The Great have
their Share of both as well as the Little — The Commander
who in one month found himself at the head of as great
a Fleet as ever sailed out of a British Port, will find
himself in another, in a Situation to have his Life
depend upon the Judgment & opinion of those, whom but
just before he himself commanded. Such is the
Case with Admiral Keppel — who is to be try'd by
a Court Martial upon the accusation of Sir Hugh
Paliser, which is actually fixed for the 7th day of
next month at Portsmouth — so that is your
present Situation, you are likely to be in the
midst of all the Bustle — The Court is to be held on
Board the Victory, and will consist of Sir Thos
Pye the Admiral, who commands at Portsmouth, &
the Thirteen Senior Captains there, who will be oblig'd
to attend, upon Sight of the Flag to be hoisted for that
purpose — I imagine you will endeavour to get on
board to be present at the Tryal — which will be a
matter of Universal expectation — great pains seem
