WE will venture to pronounce this little L-d to be the most fuperlative Cox

comb, that ever Ireland bred, or Paris finifhed! and that even a club of veritable French petit maitres, could not hesitate one minute, about placing his L-p in THE CHAIR, when any important article of drefs, was to be the fubject of their deliberations.

Of E-d B——ke,
-ke, Efq;

E will likewife venture to pronounce this gentleman to be the most ingenious man that ever Ireland bred, and perhaps that ever England knew.-And if he be the author of fome occafional papers, which have lately made a noise in the world, we are convinced many of our readers, will fubfcribe to the above opinion.

Of E-d Y▬▬▬ge, Efq;

ATHER of that ingenious fenfible wo

FA

man the C-ss of Rd, and of the unfortunate Col. Y-ge. Perhaps a more vain man never lived; at the age of about fourscore, he married a young wife, who lives as far from him, as his old one did: he poffeffes a pretty place in Wiltshire, which fhews. him to be a man of taste, as his converfation does, that he knows the world. The neighbouring gentlemen perfuaded the late D-e of Y-ke, to invite himself to dine with Mr. Y-ge, and though he would gladly have been excufed having fo great an honor, yet no man knew better how to receive him, or had fpirit to do it more properly.

Of Ld H

Seaman of courage, judgment, and dif cretion; perhaps we have not a more proper naval officer, to be trufted with an important command.

Of

Of Sir An-w A-n-w.

SIR A-w commanded the Scotch Fufileers, at the battle of Dettingen, and defended the Castle of Blair, against the Scotch Rebels, in the Rebellion 1745. Some ridiculous fayings of his being told to the late D. of Cumberland; was the means of his promotion to a regiment of marines. One was, -that marching by a large crucifix on the public road in Flanders, Sir Andrew obferved to fome of his officers, that there hung some attrocious fcoundrela fcoundrel, replied one of the Officers! It is our bleffed Lord and Saviouray is it, quoth Sir Andrew. As I fhall anfwer, I did na kenn him.

Of C-1 C-s B-ck.

THIS gentleman is next heir to the title

of D-c of St. A-ns, we mention it, because we much doubt, whether he knows any thing of the matter.

Of

Of L-d D'L

-cer.

WHEN his L-p has more parfons at his table than he likes to give claret to, he

fets a ted captain to dance Tatter-a-ragg diddly, and Pop! it is a curious dance, but the figure cannot be delineated on paper, always however, occafions fome of the senior clergy to retire.

Of L-y F-n-let.

THIS woman is best known here by the name of Nancy Day,--she has now taken up her refidence at Calais, where she is vifited and countenanced by people of the first fashion! one of her daughters, the news paper informs us, was lately married there to a French officer, and she is said to be niece to L-d Ed-be! we fancy her Ladyship, would be a little puzzled to make out the legitimacy; and we are furprized, that fuch near neighbours, as the inhabitants of Calais; fhould not know how the land lies, between us, and them, a little better.

Of

Of L-y S-y and S-e.

Notwithstanding this Lady was a celebrated toaft at Oxford, fifty years ago! fhe is at this day, one of the best country dancers, we know !

Of the Hon. Mr. W-r-d.

WE know no man of fashion about town, who upon all occafions, acts, and thinks more like a gentleman; he is paffionately fond of music, and understands it well.

Of L-d K-11-y.

THE
HE best gentleman player on the Fiddle

in England; and compofes mufic in the ftyle of Vivaldi; but much above that profeffor. He is the only Scotchman we know, who does not betray his country; by his face; his tongue; or his manner!-he is truly a good natured agreeable man.
