London, November 1. . . [Report on proceedings in House of
Commons.] Mr. Wilkes differed from Governor Johnston,
respecting his condemnation of the style of the New-England
Congress's declaration of Independency, declaring he always
considered good writing by its effect, as men judged of the
merit of a tragedy or a comedy, by the effects introduced;
that as it was addressed to the minds of the people, if it
served to allure them, it was certainly well written.
