The Prince _Greeniccio_ and the Earl of _Marereskine_ then took upon them the Manegement of the whole Affair. They took publick Apartments in the Town, kept an affected State, called themselves the Queen's Managers, and had a Court as great as if they had been really so; they received the Visits of the Nobility with an Air of Majesty, and affected Gravity; and under this assumed Authority they took upon them to Closet the Noblemen when they came to pay their Respects to them; not to ask who they would give their Votes for, or to sollicit them to Vote for this or that, but in a Style haughty and insolent, especially to the Men of the greatest Character and Merit. _Greeniccio_ had several Ruffles with some of the Nobility, of which it may not be amiss to give some Account, because it may be for the Advantage of our Nobility to know, how Persons of like Quality in that Country can submit to be treated. _Bradalbino_, a Nobleman of great Age and Authority in that Island, expected to be One of the Sixteen, and was told he was in the List; when he comes to Discourse with the Prince _de Greeniccio_, he tells him, Very plainly, That he thought it would be much for the Publick Good to put in Two or Three Lords, such as _Leslynus_, and one of the Family of _Boiilio_, being Men he thought could not properly be left out, and that if they were in, he would come into all the rest: The Prince, in a kind of Passion swore, By G--d, not of them; and but for naming them, laid aside _Bradalbino_ himself. Another Lord being an Officer in the Army, having the Court List proposed to him, answered, My Lord you kno' _Leslynus_ is my General and Commander in Chief, and he could not as he commanded under him but Vote for his General, _&c._ _Greeniccio_ in a fury returns, God d----n your General, what do you tell us of Commander in Chief? If that be all, we shall soon get you another Commander in Chief; you shall Vote for none such as he. Another Lord expostulated with him a little to admit such and such with the Men he proposed; he answers, My Lord, I am no Hypocrite, I am above-board; this is the List we will have; the Q....n approves of it, and I will have no other; and swearing again, By-G--d, says he, 'Tis indifferent to me, keep out but the Men we are against; but I will have no _Go....phin_ Men, no _Ma....bro'_ Men, no Squadron Men, in short, no _Whigs_ of any Denomination; as for the rest, it is indifferent, any but them. How, my Lord, says this Nobleman, What will you take _Tartarians_, (that is, as our _Jacobites_) rather than the honest Gentlemen that have been so true to the _Atalantic_ Interest: I care not what they are, says the Prince, so they be none of these.
