Lord North concluded a fpeech in the House of Commons with the following manly, and handiome declaration, viz. that Before he took leave of his fituation entirely, he felt himfelf bound to return his moft grateful thanks to this House for the very kind, the repeated and the effential fupport he had for fo many years receiv ed from the Commons of England, during his holding a fituation, to which he must confef's he had at all times been unequal. And it was, he faid, the more incumbent on him to return his thanks in that place, because it was that House which made him what he had been. His conduct within thofe walls had first made him known, and it had been in confequence of the E e part part he had taken in that Houfe, that he became recommended to his Sovereign. He thanked the Houle therefore for their partiality to him on all,—and he would use the phrafe-for their for bearance on many occafions. Certainly he could not be pleased at their not thinking him any longer worthy the confidence of Parliament, nor for their withing to vote his removal, but their general fupport of him through a fervice of many years continuance, claimed his fulleft acknowledgments and his warmett gratitude; and he ever fhould hold it in his memory as the chief honour of his life, to have been fo fupported. A facceffor of greater abilities, of better judgment, and more qualified for his situation was eafy to be found; a fucceffor more zealous for the interefts of his country, more anxious to promote those interefts, more loyal to his Sovereign, and more defirous of preferving the conft tution whole and entire, he might be allowed to fay, could not fo eafily be found. The Crown had refolved to choole new minifters, and he hoped to God, whoever thofe minifters were, they would take fuch meafures as thould tend effectually to extricate the country from its prefent difficulties, and to render us happy and profperous at home, fuccefsful and fecure abroad.' Spanish Account of the Surrender of St. Philip's, with a Relation of the unaccountable Candul of Sir William Draper, the Lieutenant Governor of the Place. Barcelona, February 28th. "The chebec St. Louis, which left Minorca on the 7th inflant, anchored in our port on the 1oth. She was ditpatched by the general of our army. Three officers came on fhore; the first of them, Mr. Le Sangro, the general's aid de. camp, fet off poft immediately for Madrid. They bring the agreeable news of the reduction of Fort St. Philip, which took place on the 14th. for making the garrifon prifoners of war; that therefore he could only grant him the honour and refpect which the laws of war dictate, and the particular esteem he entertained for general Murray prompted him to." The English officer returned with this reply. The whole day was fpent in conferences, and it was not till the evening that the English general relinquished his own terms of capitulation, and accepted of ours, and offered to put us in immediate poffeffion of the outworks. In confequence of this, at eleven o'clock at night, three companies of Spanish grenadiers took poffeflion of Fort Madborough, and the two neighbouring baltions were delivered up to the French troops. The next morning, at nine, the capitulation having been figned, the Duc de Crillon went in his coach to Fort St. Philip, accompanied by lieutenant-general don Felix Buch, the baron de Falkenhayn, and other Spanish officers. Our troops put themselves under arms, and the English marched out in columns, drums beating, &c. General Murray and the fuperior officers clofed the march. After this ceremony, rather humiliating to the pride of Britons, the officers of the two armies met, and the most speedy fuccours were immediately afforded to the garrifen, both by fupplying them with medicines and trefh provifions, and by removing the fick out of the cafemates into a more airy and wholesome place. The duc de Crillon then invited gene Murray and the fuperior officers to dine with him: one alone refuled, namely, general Draper, the fecond in command, pented with, not choofing to be found in compa❤ who requested that his prefence might be dif ny, much lefs to fit down to dinner with a traitor to his country."
