A London Evening Post letter criticizes national self-interest and pension lavishness, condemning corrupt acts and praising constitutional reform. It urges excises repeal, trial by peers, secretaries’ warrants limits, debt relief, fewer placemen, and reestablished triennial parliaments, signed Philopitus.
The author argues ministerial writers color opposition as deceitful to hide self interest and to portray all parties as equal. He counters that the people of England view the gentlemen in the opposition more fairly and justly than ministerial backers.
London reports the death of William Cavendish Duke of Devonshire at the German Spa aged 44. The news followed hopeful letters claiming recovery, delivered to Devonshire House after Lord John Cavendish arrived with the confirmation of his Grace's death. The Duke was praised for amiable manners and benevolence, uniting family virtues and public esteem.
A lengthy tribute extols the Cavendishes of Devonshire, praising their loyalty to liberty and opposition to tyrants. It recounts the family’s defense of the English constitution, their roles under Charles I and James II, and the Duke who invited William of Orange. It lists the Duke of Devonshire’s offices, marriages, and heirs, and notes the planned return of his embalmed corpse to England. An advisory on salt exports follows.
