lit LIFE of the RIGHT HON. W. PITT, By prcnnt LORD 8131107 of WINCIC-MeTER. This long expected memoir has at length been presented in part to the public. The two - first volutnes are published this day. We have not had au opportunity of taking more than a very cursory and hasty view of them; but hasty as it has been, it was sufficient to enable u-s to form_ some estimate of the valuable and interesting in t-or...nationn, which they contain, and of the pro inise which they hold out of matter equally inte resting and valuable in the subsequent volumes. These two volumes are chiefly . occupied by 6 de tail of the public or political life of this great Statesman, which they bring down to the year - 1.7g3. The plan and arrangement of the work is somewhat different from that of the late Mr. Gt F- Much information is also added from sources to which that able writer had not access. We do not, however, mention Mr : ,..G;Froan's work with any intention of entering into a-minute and elaborate comparison of it with that of the learned Prelate, .whose intirnate connection and confidential communication' with i'dr. PITT, and whose long consideration of the subject,_ has giveit him advantages, which the former,: never pos sessed, but without which he was enabled Ito do FORD. ihe country eminent service by placing before it the whole of Mx. PITT'S public conduct at a pe- Tiod when it was of vital irriportance that it he known and duty'* arpretqated, oril'er , that-notlaviation froc,rt "b 1 cy might take place. before it had accomplished thOse objects, which were at that time essential to the national - welfare e,-id independence.' 'We mention it merely as a work on the same subject high in the public estimation, and from which they .Will naturally inquire how far it differs from the one now presented to them. We shall only add, therefore, that valuable and interesting as Mr. Gifford's work is, yet not comprehending any, detail of the private life of Mr. PITT, there remained something to be supplied, which the present learned and Venerable biographer alone could furnish. We shall not pursue these observations but hasten to introduce our readers to those extracts which we propose, from time to time, to lay before them. 'Those which we have selected for this day con sist of some letters from the late Lord and Lady CHATHAM to their illustrious son. They will be perused with that interest which every thing relating to that noble and patriotic family must ever excite. But if our readers trace Mr. PITT to a later period of his life, when all the tender hopes and solicitude of his noble father had been more than amply realized, these letters will excite a still higher and more affecting gra tification. " in May 1778, Mr. Pitt lost his great and excellent father, at a period when his advice and assistance would have been of the highest importance to him. I am happy to have it in my power to insert the following letters, which strongly mark the affectionate heart and amiable character of one of the ablest and most disinterested Statesmen' the world ever produced; and at the same time shew the opinion he entertained, and the expec tatioes he had formed of the subject of these memoirs. " The first of these letters was written by Lord Chatham to Mr. Pitt, upon his_going to the University en 1773. " Burton Pynsent, Oct. 9, 1773. " Thursday's past brought us no letter from the dear travel ler; we trust this day will prove more satisfactory; it is the nappy day that gave us your brother, and it will not be less in favour with all here, if it should give us, about four o'clock,, an epistle from my dear William. By that hour, I reckon, we senall he warm in our cups, and shall not fail to pour forth with renewed joy, grateful libations over the much wished tidings of your prosperous progress towards your destination. We coin . pate that yesterday brought you to the venerable aspect of Alma Mater ; and that you are invested to day with the toga ,virilis. Your race of manly virtue, and use/'u/ knowledge as now begun, and may the favour of Heaven smile upon the noble career I " Little was really disappointed in not being in time to see you—a good mark for my young vivid friend. He is just as much compounded of the elements of air and fire as he was. A due proportion of terrestial solidity will, I trust, come and make him perfect. How happy, my loved boy, is it, that your Mama and I can tell ourselves, there is at Cambridge one, . without a beard, and all the elements so mixed in him, that nature might stand up and say, this is a man.' I now take leave for to day, not meaning this for what James calls a regu lar letter, but a flying thought, that wings itself towards my absent William. Horses are ready, and all is birth-day. " Bradshaw has shone this auspicious morning, in a very fine speech of congratulation ; but I foresee, his sun sets weeping in the lowly west,' that is, a fatal bowl of punch will before night quench this luminary of oratory. Adieu, again and again, sweet boy ; and if you acquire health and strength every time I wish them to you, you will be a second Sampson, and, what is more, will, I am sure, keep your hair. Every good wish attends your kind fellow-traveller and m chu m : nor will he be forgot in our flowing bowls to day." To this interesting letter, Lady Chatham added the following postscript. " If more could be said expressive of feelings, my dearest dear boy, I would add a letter to this epistle, but as it is com posed, I. will only sign to its expressive contents, " Your fond and loving mother, " HESTER CHATHAM." The following letter was written by Lord Chatham, to Mr. Pitt, when he was recovering from the illness which has been mentioned ; " Burton Pynsent, Oct. 1773. " With what ease of mind and joy of heart I write to my loved William, since• Mr. Wilson's comfortable letter of Mon day ! I do not mean to address you as a sick man ;. I trust in Heaven, that convatesrent is the only title I am to give you in the ailing tribe; and that you are now enjoying the happy ad vantage of Dr. Glynn's acquaintance, as one of the cheerful and witty sons of Apollo, in his poetic, not his medical attribute. Put, though I indulge, with inexpressibledelight, the thoe;ht of your xetnrning health, I cannot help being a little_ in peen; beet you should make more haste than good speed to be well.' Your Mama has been before me, in suggesting that most use fal proverb, recstler your rnieux sanler, useful to all, but to the ardent, necessary. You may indeed, my sweet boy, better than any one, practise thii sage oicturn, without any risque of being :brownout (as-little James would sag, in the chase tf learning. Ail you want, at present, is quiet ; with thin, if your ardour ctplo-rEvEiv can he kept in, till you are stronger, you will make noise enough ! How happy the task, my noble amiable boy, to caution you only against pursuing too mare h all those libe ral and praise worthy things, to which less happy natures are perpetually to be spurred and driven! I will not tease you with too long a lecture in favour of inaction, and a competent stnpi ditu, your two best tutor, and companions at. present. You have time to spare ; consider there is but the Encyclopedia ; and when you have mastered all that, what will remain ? You will want, like Alexander, another world to conquer. Your Mama joins me in every word; and we know how much your affectionate mind can sacrifice to our earnest and tender wishes. Brothers and Sisters' are well ; all feel about you, think and talk of you es they ought. My affectionate remem brances go in great abundance to Mr. Wilson. Yin, vale, is the unceasing prayer of your truly loving father, • " CHATHAM." " The above letter indicates great anxiety, beautifully ex pressed, lest Mr. Pitt should too soon resume his studies ; and seems to shew, that on former occasions of illness, Lord and - Lady Chatham had been under the necessity of restraining hie:. He recovered so slowly and so imperfectly before he left Cam bridge, that he was unable to read any book which required much attention ; and Lord Chatham did not allow him to re turn to the University till the beginning of July ; soon after which he wrote him the following letter, which proves the con tinuance of the same solicitude:— " Hayes, Sunday July 170774. " Need I tell my dear William, that his letter, received this morning, diffused general joy here? To know that he is well " This eminent physician and excellent scholar became warmly attached to Mr. Pitt, and was a great admirer of his talents and character, He frequently read with him select pas sages from classical writers, which he' thought particularly de fierfing his notice. -and to be happy narsclves, is one and the same thing. lam glad that chambers, halt, and tufted robe, con tinue plmse ; -and make nodoubt, that all the NINE, in their several dopartments of charming, will sue for your love with all their powers of enefiantn:ent. I know too well the dangee of a i‘ezo antunr, or of a revicting pamun, not to have some 1 *ass for:your discretion. • Civc any of these alluring ladies the meeting .by day listlit and in tiwir tarns; not becoming the slave Orzty 'one of them . nor be irawn into late hours•by the temptation of thcir,sweet converse. I rejoice that college is not yet evacuated of its learned garrison ; and, I hope the gover nor of this fortress of science r the Master, or his admirable aid -de-camp, the tutor, will not soon repair to their respective ex cursions. Dr. Brown, to whom I desire to present my . best cornpli.-"?..nts, is very obliging in accommodating you with a stable. I hope, with this aid, Mr. Wilson's computation may not be out above one-half, to bring it at all near the mark. I conclude, - a horse's allowance at Cambridge is upon the scale of a sizar's commons. - However it prove, I am glad to think you and he will find more convenience for riding at every spare hour thar..offers. Stucky will carry Mr. Wilson safely, and, I trust, not urspleasan'ay. The brothers of the turf may hold the scud contents of - his shoulders and forehand somewhat cheap ; b:ut lijo Dan's leave, he is no uncreditable clerical steed. No news yet from Pitt. James is here, the flower of schoolboys. " Your loving Father, • " CHATHAM. 44 Hayes, September 2d, 1774." " I write, my dearest William, the post just going out, only to thank you for your most welcome letter, and for the affec tionate anxiety-yon express for my situation, left behind in the hospital, when • our, flying camp moved to Store. Gout has for the present subsided, and seems to intend deferring his fa vour till winter, if autumn will do his duty, and bless us with a course of steady weather ; those days. which Madam de Se vine so beautifully paints, des jours fil4es d' oret de saye.— I have the pleasure to tell you, your mother and sisters re turned perfectly well from Bucks, warm in praises of magnifi cent and princely Stowe; and full of due sentiments of the agreeable and kind reception they found there.

I re joice that your time passes to you. mind, in the evacuated seat of the Muses. However, knowing, that those Heavenly Ladies (unlike the London fair) delight most and spread their choicest charms and treasures in sweet retired solitude, I wo' n't wonder that their true votary is happy to be alone with them. Mr. Pretyman* will by no means spoil company, and I wish you joy of his return. How many commons have. you lost of late ? Whose fences have you broken ; and in what Lord of the manor's pound have any strays of science been found, since the famous adventure of catching the horses with such admirable address and alacrity ? I beg my affectionate compli ments to Mr. Wilson, and hope you will both be aware of an inclosed country for the future. Little James is still withhs, doing penance for the high living, so well described to you in Mrs. Yam's excellent epistle. All loves follow my sweetest boy in more abundance than I have time or ability to express. I desire my best compliments to t'le kind and obliging Master, who loves Cicero and ycu." "• My readers will be sorry to learn that the following is the last Letter of Lord Chatham which 1 am able to submit to their perusal ; it was written only seven or eight months before his death. • Hayes, Sept. 22, 1777. " How can I employ my reviving pen so well as by address ing a few lines to the hope and comfort of my life, my dear William? You will have pleasure to see, under my own hand, that I mend every day, and that I am all but well. I have been this morning to Camden-place, and sustained most man fully a visit, and all the idle talk thereof, for above an hour by Mr. Norman's clock; and returned home untired to dinner, where I ate like a farmer. Lord Mahon has confounded, not convinced, the incorrigible soi-disant Dr. Wilson. Dr. Frank lin's lightning, rebel as he is, stands proved the more innocent, and Wilson's nobs must yield to the pointed conductors. On Friday Lord Mahon's indefatigable spirit is to exhibit another incendium to the Lord Mayor, foreign Ministers, and all lovers of philosophy, and the good of society; and means to illumi nate the horizon with a httle bonfire of twelve hundred faggots and a double edifice. Ilad our dear friend been born sooner, Nero and the second Charles could never have amused them selves by reducing to ashes the two noblest cities in the world. My hand begins to demand repose; so with my best compli ments to Aristotle, Homer, l'hucydides, Xenophon, not for getting the civilians and law of nations tribe, adieu my dearest William. _ _ _ " Your ever most affectionate Father, " CHATHAM."

Extract of a letter found on the Maudlin Stairs, a the City of Durham, on Friday last : " I have fixed Tuesday for my m-t—ti, that you may have the opportunity, by means of an express from York, of obtain ing an advantage over our troublesome opponent, the printer of the College Gazette. Nothing perhaps for many years, not even the trial of our, irtuous and much-injured Queen, has excited so much interest as my forthcoming speech. For al though I have let out a part of the secret—there is one very important proposition yet to be divulged—one that is of the ut most consequence to me,-and in fact to you also, for my . ability to support you will depend in a great measure upon its suc cess. It is a proposition to remove expences frosn my own shoulders, and throw them- upon the county. This you will say . is good. Superior talent and services should be paid for.

BRIGHTON, APRIL 22.—At the Pavilion, on Good Friday, Divine Service was performed in the presence of the KING, Suite, and Household, by the Dean of HEREFORD and the Rev. HUGH PEARSON ; and again, this day, Easter Sunday, at nine o'clock in the morning, and two in the afternoon. His MAJESTY has not appeared in public since our former report to that effect, but has daily taken pedestrian airings on the Palace Lawn.—The Princess AUGUSTA, and other com pany, are expected at the Pavilion to-morrow. HAWKERS AND PERLA RS.—Io a former journal we intimated the intention of the trade in this town to, form a Society for their mutual protec tion against the - unlicensed sales of Hawkers and Pedlars: .Several meetings of the principal trades men in the- town have been held for this purpose, and an associat►on Fs now formed upon the above plan. A fund was immediately raised for the purpose of - carrying into effect the object of the Society ; and prosecutions are to be immediately instituted against every hawker or pedlar who shall attempt to carry on an illegal traffic in the town, to the injury of the inhabitant tradesman, as well as the-public, who are in general most grossly imposed upOn by persons of this descrip tion. To effectuate the object of the Society, a Committee- has been also appointed who are to meet regularly for .the dispatch of business, and active officers are-upon the look out to detect these piratical invaders.—Sirnilar Societies are in existence in . many parts of the kingdom, and the inhabitant traders of this town have been now compelled to adopt the same measures for the protection of their rights.--( Hampshire Tele graph.) The abolition of The Free Mart at Portsmouth in July, will be productive of great benefit to the inhabitants of the - three towns, and we are much surprised, that the Corporation of Ports mouth have never applied to Parliament to be authorised - to do it.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MArten 15.—1 n a country where the subjects are forbidden to raise their voices to make known to the Prince their wants and their v ishes, where it is almost impossible for the Prdvinces.to make their complaints heard, where those who are sometimes so imprudent . as to become the organs of such complaints gene rally pay for their courage v. ith their lives, where, as a natural consequence of such a state of things,- it has become an established rule that the Sultan is first apprised by the conflagration of part of the capital of the discontent of the Janissaries, and of that of the provinces by the revolt of their in habitants, it was natural that the news of 'the insurrection of part of the Ottoman dominions should take the Divan by surprise, and till it with consternation. The late events in Albania, which ought to have opened the eyes of the Su blime Porte, has only served to give it a blind confidence and false security; it considered the failure .of the late attempts of Ali Pacha to excite the mass of the Greek population, PS affording sufficient to trust to their fidelity, • not considering that their hesitation on this occasion had not at all lessened their desire to throw off, the yoke ; and• they waited but for a more favom able oppor tunity, and above all, a leader, more worthy of them than Ali Pacha, covered with crimes and blood, who for 60 years had been one of the most cruel persecutors, though they acted prudently in joining the standard of the Porte, preferring a regularly established despotism to the dominion of a tyrant in a state of rebellion ; yet it was evi dent.that their inclinations wou6l display them selves with the more energy at some time. The first account of the troubles in Wallachia did not seem worthy of much attention, and it was hoped that the pillage and burning of fifty villages;and the affixing the heads of afeW hundreds of the rebels to the gates of the Seraglio, to spew that the ancient practice was not forgotten, would put an end to those troubles. The news of the insur rection in Moldavia has produced a very diffe'rent effect. Confounded by them,on the news that Prince Ypsilanti WSS at the head of the insurrection, the Divan was extraordinarily convoked, all the great Officers of State attended, and they met several days successively. In the first alarm all those measures were adopted which might be•expected from people wholly unprepared for such an event. Expresses were sent in all directions,*ordering the PaChas of Europe and Asia to collect and put in motion without delay all the troops which they could command. These alarms were in creased by the news continually received from the neighbourhood of the theatre of these events. They were increased to the highest degree' when the news was spread that the insurrection had gained Bulgaria, and was thence spreading like lightning 'to the adjacent provinces. Already their terror represented Ypsilanti and Ali as de scending from the mountains and joining in Ru tuella. Already they seemed to fancy that the enemy was'at the gates of Constantinople. It will be easy to judge from the view lately given of the forces, of the Empire, and from the geogra phical position of the revolted provinces be hind the mountains which command Rumelitt, that we are far from being reduced to this extremity: Though yet ill prepared 'to carry the war into the revolted countries, we have happily is the capital sufficient force to oppose to any rash enterprise; and what is by no means probable, should the Greeks be so rash as to pass the mountains of Thessa!y and the Balcans, were their head-quarters and their seat of Go vernment at Adrianople, and their vanguard half way between that city and the capital, there is a point which they probably would not pass. The angle, the apex of which is the point of the Se raglio, and the base the narro\v space of land ex tending from Rodosto in the sea of Marmora to the Euxine, is a line difficult to be forced ; which may be compared to the celebrated lines of Tores Vedras before Lisbon, forming a natural barrier, which would baffle the best troops, if but tolerably defended. Lastly, should the Greeks become masters at Constantinople, and place at - once_ their standard on the Seven Towers, and the Cross of St. Sophia, be as sured that withoutmost powerful foreign aid they would be more easily placed than kept there ; be assured that if ,the Ottomans could be for a moment forced back to Asia they would soon re appear in Europe, stronger, more united, endow ed with • more energy arising from their very re verses. As for the present moment, it may per haes be imagined that the calamities that me nace the empire, the cruelties exercised on the Turks by the Greek insurgents are the chief sources M alarm among the faithful servants of the Porte. Far from it, they are influenced by very different fears, they tremble at the possibi lity of seeing their Sumptuous residenc'es . on.the . Bosphorui occupied before autumn by new mas ters—at the idea that they may be prevented from going, during the heat of the dog days, to respire, in their Kiosks, the refresh ing Lephas of the Euxine. Nothing less than such apprehensions. were necessary to rouse our Statesmen from their long and fatal apathy ; and if they should happen on this occasion to show more energy, we shall be indebted for it entirely to their egotism, alarmed for their own interest, their safety and their per sonal enjoyments; but if we are not deceived, their danger and ours is not so great as we had first reason to fear. While all. measures for defence and attack are making, we have received communications from abroad, which have in spired great confidence. The assurance of the Emperor Alexander that the rebels have no countenance whatever to expect from him, de prives the Greeks of half their strength, by tak ing away. a support on which they placed great reliance. Yet if the P?rte could not find means last year to reduce a single .revolted province and one Pacha, who had only a few hundred men left, may it not be feared that an insurrection, which threatens to involve the whole Greek po pulation of the Empire, will be the signal for an endless war, which, after many years of desolation and excesses, would leave victory uncertain, and not bring the Greeks any nearer to their object of founding an independ?nt empire ? Perhaps this war would only have the poor result of rendering independe n t two or three provinces, and giving e sovereignty of them, to some, powerful fami lies, such as that fd Ypsilanti, which would still pay tribute as vassals, unless wha't often happens in civil commotions, the authors of the revolution shouldevt be called - upon - to reap the fruits,' but some much more powerful hand than that of Yp silanti should in - the sequel appear to seize the fragments of an empire, the destruction of which this rash youth, in the excess of his imprudence, .could only have begun.

" The proposed law on the constitution of the army has been approved by the Corte. The principal articles are that all Spaniards from the age of 18 to 50 shall be called out for the defence of the country, and that the abuse of an armed force is high treason, when employed in. the two following cases : Ist.

The Petition was referred to the Go vernment. " LEGHORN, APRIL 7• " The intelligence of the insurrection of the Greeks, which reached us via Mrlta, excited a great sensation. Several ves sels laden for the Turkish harbours have relanded their cargoes. It is said that the Greek inhabitants of the isle of Crete have made themselves masters of lit, having got possession of all the strong holds in the island. We are assured that for some time past all the Greeks of the islands have repaired to the isle of Idro, in the Egean Sea, in order to form a kind of fleet there. The Greeks have 1,600 trading vessels of different sizes. "WARSAW, Amu. 5.

" This publication has produced a very disagreeable effect here, for the men who are appointed Members of the Commis sion are the most violent description of Ultras. " We are still uncertain who is to be king, whether Emanuel or Charles Felix. It appears, however, that preparations are making for receiving the former, who is at present at Nice. " The following Proclamation was issued on the arrival of the Austrians and the Piedmontese troops that joined them :. " We, Count Vittorio Sallier de Latour, &c. &c. " On entering with the faithful troops of his Majesty into the capital, it is pleasing to be enabled to testify my satisfaction at the excellent spirit with which the 'inhabitants have proved themselves to be animated, and more particularly at the atten tion so efficaciously exercised by the magistrates of this city for the purpose of maintaining, as they have done, in these difficult circumstances, that order and tranquillity which incurred the tisk of being greatly compromised. They merit the praise and the gratitude of all good citizens. We are persuaded. that they will always continue to be actuated by that zeal of which they have, in various situations, given such irrefragable proofs. i " Under the empire of our wise laws tranquillity is restored to the country. All officers, civil, military, and ecclesnuticsa, must proceed With the exercise of the functions entrusted to them by his Majcsiy; and must wait, witithat fidelity which is peculiarto good subjects, until the further wishes of *nuke of the Genevese be made .known to us. " We promise that the troops under our command shall, as well as the allied troops, preserve exact discipline. " Far from us be the thought that there are still Piedmontese so infatuated as to attempt to excite fresh troubles. Should that, however, happen, the most severe punishment will imme diately follow their offence. " But the Piedmontese nation is wise, and its conduct will prove to Europe that it did not participate in the error of a few men, on whom degradation and public contempt begin already to inflict justice. " Turin, April 10. " DE LA TOUR.". " Before entering Turin, Count De La Tour issued a Pro clamation from his head-quarters at Verceil, to the following eact : We are informed that certain wicked and perverse persons, enemies to their country, are endeavouring to seduce the royll troops under our command. We shall therefore immediately appoint a military commission before which every spy or =imp shall be brought and proceeded against within twenty-fatir hours, with all the rigour of martial law." " The Gazette of Naples states that 3,400. Austrian troopsi have marched from that city for Reggio in Calabria. " FLORENCE, APRIL 3. " The King of Naples sets cut to-morrow for Rome to keep Easter. Some are of opinion that he will not return to his capital at present. • The surrender of the fortresses of Caeta, Pescara, and Civita del Tronta, has not, we are assured, ttk r: place—the Governors having refused to give them up without' an express order from the King, and they will only sureendai , them to Neapolitan Generals commissioned by his Majesty; The Prince de Carignano has arrived in this city; he alightea at the Pitti palace. A conspiracy has been discovered anione the troops of the Grand Duke; and an ofEcer„ convicted of having participated in it, has been condemned to death by A military Commission."

You have justified the honourab le ' . tc::stimony which I recently gave of the excellent spirit by wbicb you are animated.
