house of Austria, upon whose being ours depends. A thing that shocks me mightily is to see that commonly the contrary party in England talks the language of the French, and probably have their informations from them. Which is a strong prejudice against them. I heartily wish Lord Carteret good success in all his undertakings. He is in the right way as to foreign affairs. I have seen some of his dispatches both in English and in French, and not without admiration, as to the principles and sentiments as well as for the turn and stile, but above all for the vigour and spirit which must save Europe at present. Nothing else can.
