Mag. 1797, i. 435), and uncle of Archbishop Whately. He was known to all the leading men in public life as a keen politician and a well-informed man. For many years he was in the closest confidence of George Grenville, to whom he communicated from his house in Parliament Street, Westminster, an abundance of political gossip (Grenville Papers, ii. 133 to end). He also corresponded with Lord Temple, Lord George Sackville, and James Harris, M.P.

Whately sat in parliament from 1761 to 1768 for the borough of Ludgershall in Wiltshire, and from 1768 until his death he represented the borough of Castle Rising in Norfolk. From 5 April 1764 until its dismissal in July 1765 he held the post of secretary to the treasury in George Grenville's administration, and he then went into opposition with that statesman. He was the author of ‘Remarks on “The Budget,” or a Candid Examination of the Facts and Arguments in that Pamphlet’ (1765), refuting David Hartley's attack on Grenville's financial schemes, and he also defended his chief in ‘Considerations on the Trade and Finances of the Kingdom and on the Measures of the Administration since the Conclusion of the Peace’ (3rd edit. 1769). Whately has sometimes been credited with the authorship of a pamphlet on the ‘Present State of the Nation’ (1768; appendix, 1769), but it was probably drawn up, under Grenville's supervision, by William Knox (1732–1810) [q. v.] A second pamphlet, ‘The Controversy between Great Britain and her Colonies reviewed’ (1769), attributed to him and included in Almon's ‘Collection of Tracts on Taxing the British Colonies in America’ (vol. iii. 1773), is also believed to have been written by Knox.

On Grenville's death in November 1770 Whately attached himself to Lord North, and acted as the ‘go between’ for his old patron's friends. Junius thereupon denounced him as possessing ‘the talents of
