Peace, how ever, contrary to the wishes and designs of the king could not be obtained on a just basis, and the war proceeded. In May, 1762, Lord Bute, a particular favorite of the king, who had contrived to gain a remarkable ascendancy over him, succeeded the Duke of Newcastle, as first lord of the treasury. Preliminaries of peace between England, France, and Spain, were signed on the 3d of November, and the definite treaty followed, February 10th, 1763. The people, however, were by no means pa...cifically inclined, or contented with the political ascendancy of Lord Bute, whose administration was attacked with unspar ing severity by several popular writers, particularly by the celebrated John Wilkes, in his periodical paper, called the North Briton. The arrest of Wilkes, and the seizure of his papers under a general warrant, issued by the secre tary of state for the home department, increased the indig nation and clamors of the people ; Lord Bute was execrated throughout the country, and the king himself became exceedingly unpopular.
