day morning, as also several wounded. Of the latter, three died in a few hours, and another is evidently mortally wounded. Some indication of the casualties is given in the ten dead horses that lay near here. The loss of the enemy in the two skirmishes may be set down at ten killed, one mortally wounded and seventeen disabled by their wounds, of whom ten are prisoners. Besides these a number of prisoners were taken, fifteen horses killed, and several captured. A pretty fair start, for Henley's Battalion fought against a superior force of veterans, in the dark, and without notice, or time to get ready! They had no support from regular troops, for, though some were near at hand, they did not arrive till the fight was over. After their repulse the enemy went back by the road they had come until they reached the Ridge Church. Here they struck off to the right and made for Hungary Station, on the Fredericksburg railroad, reaching that point about daybreak. They seized a citize

At the same time Murray declared that he, too, would serve as Attorney-General no longer; he would be Lord Chief Justice, with a peerage, or retire to private life.

But Pitt reconciled him by leaving him his old post in the Board of Trade, with all its patronage, adding the dignity of a cabinet councillor. Henley, afterwards Lord Northington, became Lord Chancellor, opening the way for Sir Charles Pratt to be made Attorney-General, and George Grenville was Treasurer of the Navy. The illustrious statesman himself, the ablest his country had seen since Cromwell, whom he surpassed in the grandeur and in the integrity of his ambition, being resolved on making England the greatest nation in the world, and himself its greatest minister, took the seals of the Southern Department, with the conduct of the wa

Grenville Diary, Tuesday, 13 Dec., 1763; Grenville Papers, II. 238: He (Henley) told him (G. G.) that the king had told his lordship, in the sumner, that upon occasion of some disputes between Lord Egremont and Lord Shelburne, relating to the Board of Trade, Lord Mansfield had given it as his advice to his Majesty, to show favor to Lord Shelburne, in order to play them one against the other, and by that means to keep the power in his own hands. This, as far as it proves any thing, tends to show that the king was not the author of the high American measures, though h

hat direction to go, and too haughty to be taught by men of humble birth. The King, therefore, was strengthened by the divisions among those who really wished to practise a policy of liberty, and had nothing to fear from an opposition. The changing politicians were eager to join his standard; and while Chap. XLIV.} 1770. March the great seal was for a time put in commission, Thurlow superseded the liberal Dunning. The new Solicitor General whose majestic sense and capacity of mind Henley's Northington, 59. have been greatly overrated, was a man of a coarse nature and a bad heart. The mother of his children was a kept mistress; he himself was strangely profane, and unmindful of social decorum. His manners were so rough that he enjoyed among the people the credit of being fearless of the aristocracy; but no man was in reality more subservient to their interests.

s funeral that day. As the distance was ten miles, all the way by water, and as Capt. Payne had but a single small boat at his command, he could not, of course, carry over his company, which he otherwise would have done. At the time, however, Capt. Henley, of the corvette John Adams, was lying in the sound. He turned out, with his whole crew, and thus the veteran was buried in the way, no doubt, that would have been most pleasing to him, had he been consulted, although by another arm of the service than that to which he belonged. Col. Payne is under the impression that he and Capt. Henley bore the pall; but of this he is not entirely certain. At any rate, he was present, and saw the last of "Light-Horse Harry Lee," so far as this mortal frame is concerned. He was very little over sixty when he died.

en gone, I should think, a fortnight, and I expect soon to receive some reply to them. Until that answer is received I cannot pledge the Government as to the course which they will pursue. Mr. Liddell wished to ask the noble Lord whether the course now proposed to be adopted of prohibiting the vessels-of-war and privateers of both parties from bringing prizes into the ports of the United Kingdom, was not different from that which had in former times been pursued by this country? Mr. Henley asked whether the law of France, as stated by the noble Lord, applied to the vessels of States, or was confined to privateers? Lord. J. Russell — I stated that law is applicable to privateers only. Sir J. Elphinstone asked what measures had been taken by the Government to inform British seamen who were at present at sea that it was their policy to observe a strict neutrality between the parties to this contest.
