Je fus chés le chev. Clinton. que je ne trouvay pas. Diré chés le G1 Morisson en compagne d'homes & de femmes Le comte de Linden qui s'y trouvoit me fit beaucoup meilleur accueil qu'a son ordinaire. Il vouloit me convaincre que le Duc Louys etoit ennemi des Suisses et avoit voulu persuader les membres de la Republique de les renvoyer pour prendre des trouppes allemandes à la place, qu'ils auroient à meilleur marché mais que les Hollandais avoient trop de confiance dans les Suisses pour donner dans ces idées qui etoient de remplir la Hollande de Princes et de comtes allemands. Joué deux robers gagré 3 guinées. Jeudy 17. Le G1 McLean vint dejeuner ches moy & je fus ensuitte avec le Commis de M.

Il me parla beaucoup de ses propres affaires et me dit ensuitte que j'avois beaucoup d'amis dans ce Pays. Il nomma Lord Sydney. J'allay de la avec le G1 Robertson ches M.

Elle m'apprit la reconciliation du Prince de Galle etc. etc. Mardy 22. Messr Robertson Corre MacLean et Arnold vinrent ches moy. Le dernier parut surpris de voir que le papier contenant les noms des personnes suspects cn Canada called to speak of his nephew. I advised him to send him to Gibraltar. Am surprised that Sir Joseph York has not spoken himself, having seen him at the Court and the Review. Rode in the Park where was an infinity of people. 14. Monday. Paid a few visits and returned home at two, when I found a letter from Budé. 15. Tuesday. Called on Mr. York, where Sir Joseph and the Bishop, his brothers, happened to come in, who approved of the idea of sending young York to Gibraltar.

Honhard [Howard], General Fawcett, General Bond, General Robertson, General Howard, Colonel Simpco [Simcoe], Sir Joseph York. Spent the evening at Mrs. Munster's. 16. Wednesday. Went to see Mrs. Coore in the country and Mr. Coore in town. We agreed that I should dine with him on Friday to speak of my suit. Went to Sir Henry Clinton's whom I did not find in. Dined at General Morrison's in company of men and women. The Count de Linden, who was there, gave me a much better reception than usual. He wished to convince me that Duke Louis was an enemy to the Swiss and wanted to persuade the members of the Republic to dismiss them in order to take German troops in their place as they would be cheaper, but that the Dutch had too much confidence in the Swiss to give in to these ideas, which would fill Holland with German Princes and Counts. Played two rubbers; won three guineas and a half. 17. Thursday. General McLean breakfasted with me. Went then with Mr. Coore's clerk to make an affidavit at Westminster, to require Charles Hay to give security for the suit he has in court should he lose it. Met Lord Amherst in the Park and then Lord Sydney, who spoke to me of my old friend, General H. Honvay, who was a good officer of cavalry but a bad rider. Dined at home. Spent the evening at Mrs. Drummond's. 18. Friday. Dined at Mr. Coore's with Sir George Thomas, who knows Switzerland better than I, and appeared enchanted with it. Spent the evening at Mrs. Robertson's. Won half a guinea at whist. 19. Saturday. Paid a few visits. Dined at home. 20. Sunday. Wont to Sir Henry Clinton's. It seems to me extraordinary that he never remembered the letter he had written me, giving notice of an intended invasion of Canada. He spoke a great deal of his ova affairs, and then told me I had many friends in this country. He named Lord Sydney. Went from there with Goneral Robertson to Mr. Coore, where we agreed that he should meet us on Tuesday. at 10 in the morning, with Arnold and McLean, at my house. Dined at General Robertson's; home at half past ten. 21. Monday. Went to the city, where I saw Tossier who told me he had received a few bottles of wine sent him by General Grant, which was passable. I met at the exhibition Count Lone and Baron an old comrade at the Hague, who recognized me at once. I was to dine with Lady Holderness, but made an excuse. She informed me of the reconciliation of the Prince of Wales, &c., & ;. 22. Tuesday. Messrs. Robertson, Coore, McLean and Arnold came to my house. The latter appeared surprised at seeing that the pipor containing the names of the suspected persons in Canada was to become pabl.c. He hesitated as to the deposition |
