LETTERS OF LADY WENTWORTH., 11/

The talk still continues as if there wou'd be changes at court, tho' now 'tis dwindle only to the removal of Lord Sunderland, for Earl Poulet, and among other reasons that are given that there is not a more thurrow rout, is that Harley and Lord Rotchester are not agreed who shall fill the vacancees. In most countys in England they are allready soliciting for Votes each party for Parliament men, for a new Parliament the high Church con- clude there will be, and the Whigs seems to fear it ; as for the Duke of Shrewsbury 'tis said he has promised the Whigs to be intirely in their interest and has promised the same to the Torys. Lord Halifax is to be marryed to lady Burling- ton. S Thomas Skipwith died last week at the Bath, and 'tis reported to that Jack How is dead also there.
