There are some disputes between the two contending Partyes now among us, which in reason ought no longer to subsist, because Time and Events have put an End to the Causes of them. For instance,Whether our Peace with France and Spain were safe and honorable;Whether the States Generall have a sufficient Barrier. Whether Spain ought to be governed by a Prince of the Bourbon Family. These Points are already determined, whether wisely or not; and reasonable Men of both sides will, I suppose allow, that theWar can not be renewed at present to settle them better.
Other Differences there are, and of great Importance, which still depend, and cannot speedily be brought to an Issue without some degree of Correspondence between both Partyes. As, whether the Treaty of Commerce with France shall be confirmed by Parliament as beneficiall to our Trade, or rejected as pernicious. Whether the Princess Sophia of Hanover shall be invited to reside in England, as an Expedient for securing the Succession to Her Family upon the Qu—'s Demise.Whether the Pretender shall be forced to remove from Bar le duc, or permitted to reside any where on this side the Alpes. There are some other Controversyes of lesser Moment between the two contending Partyes; but the most popularTopick ofQuarrell, is thePretender. I have heard many significantPersons of the side which is against the Court, affirm with great appearance of Sincerity that if they could be perfectly satisfied upon this Article, they would leave it to Her Majesty to chuse her own Servants, and give her no further Uneasyness in any part of her Administration.
