SECOND LETTER. 
Sir, 
The letter which I have written to fir John 
Warren, will give you every information in my 
power to afford, as well on my prefent fituation, 
as on paft events ; I will notremind you of the 
letter which I wrote to you from Po t{mouth, 
as you doubtlefs feel the force of the remarks 
which I there made ; you mutt be fenfible how 
much my heart has to fuffer in thefe laft mo- 
ments; independently of the regret which I 
experience for the fate of my companions, you 
know what facrifices an order fo prompt obliged 
me to make. 
{ requeft you, fir, to be fo kind as to give to 
the beater, a faithful man, who has never aban- 
doned me (and whom the loffes I have fuftain- 
ed incapacitate me from rewarding) the fum of 
five hundred Louis, to be fhared with my other 
fervants.—This requeft will not appear indif- 
creet, as I have loft feveral government fecurities 
to a- greater amount. 
I alfo recommend to you, fir, the two per- 
fons about whom I {poke to you, before I lett 
aondon, 
I have the honour to be, fir, 
Your very humble fervant,

Do Mr. Windham, Secretary at War. 
The fame day, the houfe of commons 
refolved itfelf into a committee of ways 
and means, Mr. Hobartin the chair, when 
Mr. Pitt opened his sECOND BUDGET. 
He introduced it by a variety of prelimi- 
nary remarks on the ftate of the nation ; 
and expreffed his particular fatisfaétion at 
the ftate of this country, compared with 
that of France : from which, he faid, it 
refulted, that, if we were true to our. 
felves, we might look for the happieit iffue 
of a conteft, ‘¢ undertaken for the end of 
re{cuing this age, and pofterity, from all 
the mifchief attending A DISSOLUTION 
of CIVIL SOCIETY.” After having ftat- 
ed the particulars of his budget, he con- 
cluded, by moving, “ That the fum of 
7,500,000]. be raifed by way of loan.” 
The motion was oppofed by Mr. Grey, 
who maintained, that fome of the efti- 
mates made by the minifter were inaccu- 
rate ; and that he had not ftated any means 
to provide for the arrears of the army or 
civil lift. The motion was alfo oppofed by 
Mr. Fox, Mr. Sheridan, and others; but 
was carried bya great majority. [hg fol-
