. . .  Address to Lord Chatham soon after his last speech in
the house of Lords, taken from a late London Paper. . . [2/3
column]  But the virtue and valour of free minds, with the
assistance of an all-ruling Providence, no sooner conquered
and captivated the mercenary instruments of slavery and
despotism, than the Scotch crew were thrown into the utmost
confusion and despair.  Some were dispatched here, some
there; their instruments were drove about from pillar to
post, and for twenty-four hours B--t, M--d, and W--e, were
in such a pickle, and skipped about in such a manner, that
you would absolutely have thought, my Lord, that they had
been dancing the Reel O'Bogie. . .
