Though Mr. Anmeerouts AdMinifiration was r ectally charaaerifei by wifdom and caudon, yet in its eonfiittstion it involved fome radical defeat, and in its conduEt even difclofed force errors. It was hef tily formed upon Mr. PITT'S abrupt refignation in 18ot, and the delofive pledge given by certain great char:Eters of" conflict% alive, and zealous fopport," prevented the adoption of thofe ascent'', which were seceffary to enable the Minifiry to fupport itfelf.— Hence ariflocratic and parliamentary connexion was too much difregarded—hence that appendage to an Adminiftration fo tiefermasett Mcefuy in the prefent times, a well trained phalanx of orators was over looked; and hence orightetea the grand and fatal mar, in omitting - the areal minifterial management at the 'general *loftiest. Whateier may be the alfemions of proftitated fac tions and difsfelted Writers: we do not fear to affirm what hiller/ will afterwards record, that the three principal departments of Rate were sever more ably of more appropriately filled, than in this Adminiftra don. Without meaning to inflitute any invidious comparifon, Mr. Ammonium is admitted by all who nadarittiid the firbjed to be a mailer in the feience of Roane; and if We are not mifinformed, this is the opinion of die trill pada' arithmeticians of the prefent time,. His fief budget, indeed,' difpiayed a peculiar genial for financial operations, and before there etrtsid be either correfpondence or harmony with . Mr; Tisanes, the involuntary admiffions of that , gentleman gave no mean faoftion to Mr. Ammo. Toe', talents in this line. It would be little interdV log to the generality of readers to enter into the detail Of figores. Let it fuffice to mark briefly his prisiiipel Operations ai afinancier: He embraced the fire op!, portnnity, after the figaarare of the preliminariet of: peace; to tine out of the market a mars of Cloposool. Exchequer Bills, and the fermi in title trunradion were fo nicely elated, Mit while all acknowledged the bargain Co be Cana bMeticial to the public, the rubfcribers were not difatisfitd., The loan which followed peeved, indeed, difadvantsgetitis to the 11110 railer's, bat it was proportionably beneficial to the, Public. The repeal of she imam" tax, wheili was loudly and jaßly celled for, was aeoperatiott pregnant with difficulty. It was already pledgedforethsoo,cool. permanent tlock; and (becaufe the ability with which the bufinefs was concluded prevented its rams. and itinikquently obviated every clamour) the Poi& ass sop s diaess, or at leak have overlooked the fad, that bide baiter gas /Rik yen, Mr. ADDIUGTOII perform id the inaiseial miracle of providing for oy.ooo.CooL of.flock, without Materially detradtig froin the Com tett, of the people. This arrangement was facilitated by another equally beneficial, the Cootolidation of the nuking funds; and by the ensuing improienient of ail the &vend boogies of the milting revenve..— In the mean time every facility was given to trade 114 the fiftili of ivarehoufing ; the refourees of the kingdoai were improved in every rei.a and the benefit of Mr. Ansoistroa's arrangements, as a Mi. *Hier of }linnet, will long be felt whin the dielitia- , lions of orators Will be totally forgotten. IT the &inkiest* of finance was thus. ably ion doded,it ivonidbe grafi injuftice to fay that the Naval Adminifiration aim not filled with equal advantage to the public. t Ara ar faaion has prevented Lord et: VillCior kat receiving that applanfe, which ittofterity will 'relay aeeord. Among the very ex friardinary events of there ititerefling times, it will Sand upon record, that iti the molt tempeftious winter within the memory of man, the fleets of France and Holland were kept imprifoned within their own ports; that their narfery for rumen was that cfreltually defiroyed ; their commerce Turned, and all their naval refoarcea diminiffied or alnioft annihilated. Unfortunately for his own quiet and Perfonal fuccefs, Lord Sr. Viacsar was a reformer. The gSatJ abufes which he pointed oat, and the re medies which he applied, will be of laftiq advantage to his c ,entry, and will tranfmit his name to potierity as a great and an honeft man. But what ought to have endeared his name to his country and to the fervice, only ferved to bring againft him a host of dctradors, and the popularity of the Miniftry aver not increafid by one of the nobleft inflances of difintereted patriotifm. He, however, has left the Navy of England in a con dition which enables it to bid defiance to the world, and if he preferred three-deckers to gun-boats, it is an error in which he was borne out by the teflimony of the ableft commanders, and by the genuine fpirit of a proud and maritime nation. A third molt important department, that of 10. . reign Affairs, was filled with fingular ability. It has ,nrrnuon!y been objeacd to Britian fiatefmen, that they come to office rather by a kind of chance, than by a judicious deftinatioo ; by an influence in Parlia. meet, rather than by being known to priiTefs the qua lities necelfary to the functions, which they are to dit ch:age. But Lord Haw K ['Boar was educatedalrooll from his cradle for the important office he fu lately occupied. No man undertlood better than the Earl of LIVER 1.031. the relative interells of the different Courts of Europe, and theft fubjea were rendered familiar to Lord HAWK!. SIVIY almoil from his in fancy. Foreign Statefmen of high chliratier h ire acki:owletlged, that great ability was d;fria!':,l it: the late liegetiation ; tine When the feeretbillory ofi die tiMes comes to be proplerly difclofed, we have not a desk but it will appear to have been a Ase.per aroke of policy for Great Britain, that the wiriprin maned jail when it did. While the three principal departments wens dins ably filled, nothing but the voice of Whin could aigmatize the Minitlry with the epithet of Wee& of this we defy the flighted proof to be adduced. — Was it Teen in conciliating the parties, in annihilating the faith's' of the nation ? Was it evinced in the firm, but Conaitutional line of conduit, which the Government purfued ? Was it difplayed in the hap py (octets with which the Nation was excited to rife unanimoufly in its own defence ? It is common to attribute to the fpirit of the People, exclufively, thofe gigantic efforts, by which the defigns of the enemy spina our independence and liberty were incanted; best thofe who argue thus, know little of mankind. — It is not eafy to excite the mars of the people to any naive exertions, and particularly with an unanimous fpirit. It was the aaivity of the Misiary, aided and feConded by a free prefs, the bulwark of Brit& Li betty, and exerted in every lawful and honourable ' mean, that flimulated a free people to thofe great, and unanimous efforts. It was their vigour that cal. I led this fpirit hate adios; it was their witdoef that gave it a proper direition. It is to Mr. Amino. TON and his Colleagues that we are indebted for our prefent fecurity—through them it is that the nsalig nest intentions of our implacable enemy have been rendered of no avaa. Yet we have Paid. and we mad allow, that fame radical defies elided in the coallitntion of this other wife wife and eirtooni blisillry. It was formed as we before intimated. on the prousi& H of etediant Mire sad maims rapport," from a powerful and ;Sables popular party. It was formed. therefore. with irslittla regard to parliamentary cunnesion.— TM Withers were individeally refpedable. mod of them of noble families, but they were not of that lemma* of the Arifioc racy. whs are dealers in boroughs. A till more palpable defed was the want of profelfed hums. The !patches of Mr. Ames: mom himfelf were the fpeecbm of a man of bufinefs ; they were phi, drong.fenfi'ble. and to the purperfe. They would him Weed the time, and were in the ayle of Wm.- -ems ; hid after the ears of the Legitimise had dale/ by the fanciful aUolnns of a Boast. the Sp pomp dihdr.Virs RDMAIt, and the mafiosi periods of Mr. I'm, dry could no longer attend to the parliamen tary barrage of.better time*. Earl ST. VICCSIT was Pill la. of a public rimier. He did not moles, and be perhaps defpifed oratory ; that trifling and pernicious art has happily not yet debauched the Brit& Iceman. aid Lord Sy. Vine/gas was se enflamed to meet his enemy in a copra very dif ferent from that of words. By their treed of this accomplithesent, fuch as it is, they gave oppofitios an advantage over them, and were frequently asissied by men of very inferior abilities. But the molt material error which they committed. originated probably in part at leak in Mr. ADDING* TON'S proud fenfe of confcious integrity—where his intentions were all for the welfare of his country. be difdained to govern by, a cabal. Hence. the areal means of fccuring a permanent majority at the Ge neral Elation were injudicionny perhaps negleded ; hence, the blinifters fell the vial= of a corruption to which they alifdained to mart, and their votes were outnumbered. while their arguments remained un confuted by their antagoniits.—(re k netiotaa) A folann requiem, by MOZART, has been cele brated u the Ramo church at Peteriburgh, for the late Duke of EIGNIIIN. - A monument is to be crafted near Vauelufe, in honour Of PSTRARCH and his LAURA.
