He tookno part whatsoever in the affair; but it was supposed his neutrality wasmore inclined towards the side of favor. The mover being a person inoffice was, however, the only indication that was given of such aleaning. We who supported the propositions, finding them better relishedthan at first we looked for, pursued our advantage, and began to open away for more essential benefits to Ireland.

Then it was that Lord North found itnecessary to come out of his fastness, and to interpose between thecontending parties. In this character of mediator, he declared, that, ifanything beyond the first six resolutions should be attempted, he wouldoppose the whole, but that, if we rested there, the original motionsshould have his support.
