The General Assembly having finished the business before them,
and appointed a commission, they have been this day dissolved,
and another appointed to meet on the 20th of May following.
Nothing could have been more dutiful or proper than their
conduct during their meeting, and the dispositions they expressed
at parting. They appointed a visitation of the Highlands and
Islands last year, in order to acquire a perfect knowledge of the
state of religion in those remote parts of the kingdom; and have
this year received a report form the visitors, containing the
names and extent of the different parishes, with the number of
Protestant and Popish inhabitants, to which they have added their
own opinion as to the number of new schools and parishes necessary
to be erected. They have ordered a copy of the whole to be made

approves of their whole conduct. The endeavours to get at the
state of religion in the Highlands and Islands must result in its
improvement. The visitors' report, and their opinion as to the
number of new schools to be erected, will be highly acceptable to
His Majesty. His Lordship's conduct has also met with the King's
entire approval. |

|
Acknowledging the receipt of H.M. warrant for appending the
great seal of Scotland in his custody, to all charters regarding
private rights, and other instruments therein mentioned, until a
Lord Keeper is appointed. Both Lord Milnton and the Lord
Advocate are of opinion it will answer very well the end proposed,
and might have comprehended commissions on warrants from the
Crown, if they had not been excluded by his letter, as no other
commissions pass that seal. Has therefore delayed signing any
such commissions until an explanation of the former power shall
arrive, with an allowance to use it, or a new special authority is
granted. In order to which he transmits a list of such commissions as have passed His Majesty's hand, and come to Scotland.
Indicates what change in the form of words will give the necessary power without a special warrant, and observes that such
power is no more than he has enjoyed by his former deputations
for 30 years past. His duty is purely ministerial. In a postscript
he acknowledges the warrants for Barons Wynn and Muir with
the special authority to him.—Edinburgh. |

In reference to his question whether the two officers appointed
by him may not have pay from the time when those to whom
they succeeded left the regiment. It is the common practice to
date commissions from the time of the vacancy, though not
signed until a long while after, and in such a case pay would
certainly commence from the same period. The opinion of the
Attorney and Solicitor General is that commissions for officers in the
Militia must be renewed in consequence of the demise of the Crown. |

Britain in the room of William Earl of Home, deceased, who died on
28 April last, but was on 5 May following elected, no account of his
death having been received. The Earl sends for information the

Queensberry's letter signifying his intention of appointing him his
deputy "in that office." Presumes that care has been taken in His
Grace's warrant either to direct it to the "Haver" of the Seal, or
to send a special warrant apart for his appending the seal to it,
as it cannot be regularly addressed to the Duke himself.—Edinburgh. 1½ p. |

Sending the draft of a proclamation for the election of a peer
of Scotland to sit in Parliament in the room of William Earl of
Home, deceased. Lord Home was dead at the time of his election;
and although neither of the two Acts of Queen Anne directly
provides for the case, yet he apprehends it will fall within the
meaning of both, and that the best and only method left is to
summon the peers for the purpose only of electing another peer in
the room of the deceased Lord. |

A contract has been entered into between Major Crow, Commanding Officer at Newcastle, and Mr. Abbs, of that place, for
measuring, fitting, and supplying with three weeks provisions two
transports designed to carry four companies of Highlanders from
Shields to Portsmouth, there to embark for Guadaloupe. The
Secretary at War desired the Navy Board to pay; but their Lordships, in return, informed Mr. Townshend that they could not order
the payment of any service performed by virtue of a contract
made by any other person than those in H.M.'s naval service
within their department, without the King's command. Requesting that such be given, as the contract was entered into by order of
the Secretary-at-War for the sake of expenditing the service. 1pp. |

from which he has found great benefit. Intends to be in
Edinburgh by Sunday night at furthest. Mentions this to

familiar. On receipt of his Lordship's letter of the 13th current, he
immediately despatched the express that brought it, with the
necessary orders, &c., to the Commissioners of the Customs and to
Mr. Macmillan. Will give the further necessary orders without

Scotland, v. 25, No. 39 a, b. |
213. The Lord Advocate (Tho. Miller) to the Earl of Bute. |
|
Relative to the two questions submitted for his opinion,—viz.: 1st,
whether the draught transmitted to him of a warrant for appointing a Justice General of Scotland was in a legal and proper form;
and 2ndly, whether it is necessary that the warrant of such commission should contain a special order to any other court or officer,
in place of the Privy Council, to administer such oath to the Justice
General, as it appears that before the Union the commission of
Justice General did contain a warrant to the Privy Council of
Scotland to administer to the Justice General the oath de fideli
administratione, and as this Council was then abolished. |
|
The warrant is drawn up in a legal and proper form, and is
sufficient for the purpose intended. Encloses an exact copy of
the commission in favour of the Duke of Argyll as Justice General,
which is the only commission for that office since the Union, for his
Lordship's guidance in drawing up a new commission. |
|
Has perused the records of the Court of Justiciary since the
Restoration, in which the commissions of the Justices General are
fully engrossed. Most of these contain no special direction before
what court the oath should be taken; and in all these instances
the Justice General, upon presenting his commission to the Court
of Justiciary, took the oath de fideli administratione, as well as the
oaths to Government, before that Court: except at the Revolution,
when the Government was totally altered and all the Courts dissolved, at which time the Justice General, the Justice Clerk, and
the Commissioners of Justiciary appointed by King William and
Queen Mary, all took the oaths to Government, and the oath de
fideli administratione, before the Privy Council. In some instances, even where the commission of Justice General contained a
special warrant to the Privy Council to administer the same oath,
it was considered improper and out of the common course of law,
and, notwithstanding the special warrant, the Justice General had
taken the oath before the Court of Justiciary. |
|
Upon the whole is of opinion it will be unnecessary and improper to insert any clause in the commission being prepared for
the Justice General, directing the manner of his taking the oath de
fideli administatione.—Edinburgh. |

difficulty of the extent of his command, that is an affair of military
resource, and he (Lord Bute) can therefore offer no opinion upon it. |

What he has represented as to the nature of his office is true,
and it has been usual for the Surveyors of Woods to execute all
repairs and works in the Royal parks. But in the case in question
the King, considering Richmond and all the buildings belonging

that the repairs should be executed under his own eye by the
Board of Works, who are constantly employed in such cases, and
has given directions accordingly. |

219. Extract of a Letter from the Right Hon. Mr. Secretary Pitt to Mr. Stanley, dated Whitehall, 26 June

|
"If the King consents to the restitution of the rich Island of
Guadalupe (together with Marigalante), so valuable in produce,
and so highly beneficial to France, it can only be, supposing the
least proportion kept between the objects compensated, in consideration of the immediate evacuation of conquests made by
France, in Germany, on the allies of the Crown of Great Britain.
That, in this view of things, India (the French settlements and
trade whereof contain in point of value to France more than
double an adequate compensation for all her conquests on our
allies in Germany) would either remain to Great Britain on the
foot of the uti possidetis, or it is to be supposed, though not
expressed in the proposal of the Duc de Choiseul (sic), that this
immense object, transcending in profit all other British conquests,
is to return to France by a gratuitous restitution on the part of
England, and by the spontaneous effect of His Majesty's moderation, magnanimity, and generous disposition for peace. Fifthly,
it is understood that Minorca is to be forth with restored; and
that Bencoolen, with all settlements on the island of Sumatra,
shall be evacuated without delay, if the French have not already
left the same." |

Since his arrival in town has done his best to procure information to be enabled to offer proper lists of the justices of the
peace for the several counties. Has prepared lists of several of
them, which he will transmit as soon as he has them as near
exact as he could wish them. Has given entrance to no one
who is of known disaffection to the Government. perhaps some
were suspected as not having taken the oaths formerly to the
Government; but as he has the pleasure of confirming to his
Lordship what has been represented to him before, that disaffection
seems out of fashion, or to have "dived" at least for the time,
he thought it not amiss that a decent opportunity should be
offered to those who had stood off hitherto, of declaring that they
were no longer neutrals, but really sensible of the blessings enjoyed
under the most amiable of sovereigns and the best of constitutions, by taking the oaths required by law. if they neglect to
do this, they have it not in their power by the nomination to
do any harm. When on the late circuit he had an opportunity
of meeting with several persons who live in the places formerly
thought much disaffected, with whom he has held correspondence
for several years, and on whose heads and hearts he had reliance
as to what related to the support of the happy establishment,
they assured him that none of the emissaries and incendiaries
from abroad, who were "in use by stealth to get among the
inhabitants of the Highlands," were, since His Majesty's accession,
trafficking among them, and that the eyes of those who were
formerly deluded seem to be opened. Nevertheless, he is well
aware that His Majesty's servants ought still to be watchful,
and for his own part what he can do shall never be wanting.—Edinburgh. 4 pp. |

The occasion of giving him this trouble is the melancholy
account that Mr. Duncan, his Lordship's minister in the parish,
has died suddenly, after having spent his life to the full satisfaction of every one, leaving a disconsolate people. Her Grace
then says, "but I humbly begg of your Lordship would take care
to prevent any presentation being obtain'd, for which is now
very easly got, as the King is pateron; but by your Lordship's
approbation, which is your dew as having the greatest part of
the parish your own, and when they are so happy as to have
your Lordship in this country we are very sure that your Lordship's
choyes and the parish will agree. If this be not stopp'd soon, their
may be a presentation got very disagreeable to the hearers, of
which I am comonly one, and should be wastly oblige to your
Lordship for this favour." Has been informed, since the letter
was begun, that the Duke of Atholl, by some of his servants
persuasion, [has promised] that he will get a presentation to one
of his tenants sons. She herself has also been solicited, but would
"desire" nothing without his Lordship's consent. She concludes,
"I hope Your Lordship will excuse me for making use of another
hand, my eyes being a little sore."—Huntingtower. |
