From the Political Register.  Political manoeuvres. 
[London], October 21.  In consequence of Lord Chatham's
resignation the Earl of Shelburne refigured the seals of his
office (Secretary of State for the Southern department) into
his Majesty's hand in the closet at St. James's.
  He remember'd Argyll, 
  What he did ere while, 
  And he followed that step of his Grace's;
  Who seeing from afar, 
  That there must be a war, 
  Resign'd his command and his places.
