I was then returned from a tour through the great ell part of Europe, particularly through the whole of Spain and Portugal, between whom there then was an appearance of approaching war. I was about' to retire to a fmall pa trimony I had received from my ancef'tors, in order to em brace a life of Rudy and reflection, nothing 'more aetive appearing then within my power, when chance threw me unexpee'tedly into a very Ihort and very defultory conver'fam tion with Lord Chatham..
