Mr. Davis,—I know you must have 
interest and acquaintance in all the 
towns near you, and therefore f write 
this to desire you would make afl the 
interest you can for Mr. Blagrave, and 
Mr. Stronde, whew they are set up for 
Reading: for nothing but a good Par- 
Hament can save England next sessions; 
and mauy are making interest already 
for that time. They are both very ho- 
nest men, and will never give a vote to 
x placemen ora pensioner. I am, 
Your friend,

The DUCHESS of QUEENSBURY. 
_ AM the world are acquainted with 
the party spirit which arose about thre 
non-licensing of Mr. Gay’s Play of 
Polly, during which the Duchess of 
Queensbury patronized a subscription 
for its publication, for which George 
the Second forbade her to come to court. 
Her remonstrance, in her own hand, 
addressed to the King, is now before 
me, and has never, | believe, been 
printed. 
“ That, 
«The Duchess of Queensbury is sar- 
prised and well-pleased the King has 
given her so agreeable a command, as 
to stay from Court, where she never 
came for diversion, but to bestow a great 
evility on the King and Queen. She 
hopes by sueh an unprecedented order 
as this, that the King will seeas few at 
his Court as he wishes, partiewlarly such 
- as dare to think or speak truth. Fdare 
not do otherwise, and ought not, nor 
could have imagined that it would not 
have been the very highest compliment 
¥ could possibly pay the King; to en- 
deavour to support truth and innocence 
in his hous*. C. QUEENSBURY. 
Particularly when the King and Queen 
had both told me they had net read Mr. 
Gay’s play. I have certainly done 
right, then, to stand by my own word, 
rather than his Grace of Grafton’s, who 
hath neither made use of truth, judg- 
ment, or honour thro’ the whole affair, 
either for himself or his friends.”’
