Content Description | Congratulates the duke for 'the great event' that has taken place; explains that, despite the 'secret' being kept well, when he was in Norwich yesterday, the bells were ringing in the city and there was joy at the news that the peace proclamations were being signed; argues that in those first moments, no one considered the terms of the treaty; believes that those who made the terms acted firmly against the 'overbearing spirit of the great nation'; believes that while the terms initially appear inadequate when compared to the successes they had in the war, they were sufficient to put an end to such a burdensome, though worthy war; was pleased to adjourn their 'Committe of Preparation' and discharge himself from constant attendance at Norwich. |
