I know thee not old raan : fall to thy prayers.
How ill white hairs become a fool and jester.
I have long dream'd of ftch a kind of man,
So furfeit-fwelled, so old and so profane,
But, being awake I do despise my dream.
Make less thy body,hence,and more thy grace.
Leave gormandizing ; know the grave doth
gape
For thee thrice wider than for other men ;—
Reply not to me with a fool-bom jest ;
Presume not, that I am the thing I was :
For heaven doth know,fo shall the world befidc,
That 1 have turned away my former felf;
So will I those that kept me company.
When thou dost hear i am as I have been,
Approach me ; and thou shall be as thou waft,
The tutor and feeder of my riots ;
Till then I banish thee on pain of death,
As I have done the rest of my mifleaders,
Not to come near our perlon by ten miles.
For competence of life I will allow you;
That lack of means enforce you not to evil,
And, as we hear you de reform yourselves,
We will—according to your strength & quali-
Give y ou advancement." [ties,

Accept, gentlemen, my thanks for the refpe&-
ful terms in which you have beer, pleased to ex
press the opinion you entertain of the manner
in which I have discharged the arduous duties
of the flation to which I was railed by your
kind regard.
Although I am confeious ofhaving intended
faithfully to execute the trust confided to this
chair; yet I am fcnflble, that whatever success
may have attended my endeavours, is justly at
tributable to the candid, and honorable, and firm
support which you have Constantly afforded :—
I cannot lay the Waft claim to merit for any
thing that I have done, because the generous
confidence which you had reposed in me, de
manded, that I should devote all my feeble
talents td your service.
Being now about to retire from this house,
and I hope, from the public councils forever,
permit me, gentlemen, to bid you, colfedlively
and individually, an affectionate farewell. It is
true that I have long wished to indulge repose
in the made of private life ; but the moment of
reparation infli&s an anguish not to be expressed
by language—lt is a reparation from men of
dignity, of character, of honorable sentiments,
and of difinterefled patriotism, an association
with whom has been my pride and solace a
midst all the fatigue and vexation of public life.
Os the friendship (long uninterrupted and cor
dial as it has been) of such men, I shall always
cherish a grateful remembrance. May you re
ceive the reward most grateful to generous spi
rits—the reward of witnessing, as the effects of
your talents, the encreafing profpcrity, and hap
piness, and glory of your country.

Art. I. There shall be an aimiftice between

" An Ambaltador is on the point of depart
ing from Madrid for Lisbon, with a proposal
on the part of France and Spain that Portugal
shall immediately form an intimate alliance with
these powers, or declare her determination not
to abandon her connexion with Great-Britain.
Should (he accede to the former proposition,
(he will be required to (hut her ports against
British Shipping, and declare war against Eng
land."
' It is confidently (toed tri the fame article,
that permission mas been granted by the Cabi
net of Madrid for the march of the French
army, now assembling at Bourdeaur, through

Mr. Pitt's administration is dissolved;
but it hath left “ its wreck behind." —
The difations in the Cabinet, Strange
to tell, rose out of the Union! It was
necessary for the carrying of that mea
sure, that the High Church Party in
Ireland should be admitted to a share
of power in this country ; and it was
equally necessary that certain promises
should be made the Catholics. Mr. Pitt
was the advocate for the Catholic Eman
cipation.—He could not carry the ques
tion ; and finds himfelf obliged to make
a fan of withdrawing, in favor of sane
relation. The other changes will wear
something of the fame complexion.|
The emancipation of the Irilli Catho- 1
lies has occasioned ferions disputes in
the Cabinet for some time.—Marquis
Cornwallis and lord Caftlereagh, pledg
ed themselves to obtain it. His Majes
ty has, however, been advised by a ma
jority of the Privy-Counsel to refufe it.
Mr. Pitt declared the faith of govern
ment pledged to the Catholics. He
was, however, beaten on the question,
and the influence of lord Clark prevail
ed. On this mr. Pitt told the King he
could not undertake to carry on his
affairs any longer. Mr. Addington in
terposed as a mediator, and was closet
ed along time with his Majesty ; in
Accounts from Prague of the 26th
ult. fays the conferences are speedily
to be held at Brussels, between the
Ministers Plenipotentiary of Russia,
Sweden, Denmark, Prussia and France
relative to the convention between the
four Northern Powers, and their re
fpe&ive connections with England.
It seems probable that a peace be
tween France and Turkey and Naples
will be concluded, under the mediation
of Russia; but there is additional rea
sons from this to conclude that His
Sicilian majesty will be obliged to re
nounce his connexion Vrith this country
and to Shut all his ports against Us.

Intelligence of the arrival of the English ar

the Englijb are to advance from Jaffa against

LONDON, FEB. 8.
We Rated that the only department
that was fettled was that of the Right
Hon. Henry Addington as First Lord
of the Tfeafury and Chancellor of the
Exchequer—That was perfectly cor
rect. We heard last night, however,
upon authority on which we can rely,
that Lord Hawkefbury is to be minis
ter for Foreign Affairs. Lord Ma
cartney is to be placed at the head of
the Board of Controul ; but the Office
of War minister is not to be united
with that, as before, in the person of
mr. Dundas. We may be permitted
to Rate what of the reports we know
not to be true—Amongst these is the
appointment of lord Hood to be First
lord of the Admiralty, which we be
lieve never was thought es ; nor does
mr. Pelham come in, as reported.
Both mr. Rose and mr. Long quit
the Treefury, as does mr. Canning the
Office of Joint Paymaster of the Army.
Yesterday mr. Abraham Newland,
from the Bank of England, read the fol
lowing Paper at the Stock Exchange :
“ The Governor of the Bank is desir
ed to give public notice, that although
the present Chancellor of the Exche
quer is about to retire from office, it is
not his intention to resign until the new
administration is formed,-and qualified
to execute its public duties ; and that
he will raise the Supplies for the cur
rent year, at the time he intended; as if
Jueb event bad not taken place."
Earl St. Vincent has been offered the
Admiralty.
We do not find any farther mention
of the cohclufion of Peace between
France and Auftria —nor learn any
thing new of the Northern Confederacy.
LONDON, FEB. 10.
It appears therefore that mr. Pitt is to con,
tinue in his place until after the ißth infl.to open
his budget, and procure the supplies for the new
administration.
the ^'oiA:cr. h t it Ude agreed, mat n.X
Pitt should continue to conduct the
public affairs, and the emancipation
Should not make a part of the speech.
At the opening of the feflion, mr.
Pitt, however, law Symptoms of defect
tion ; which convinced him his power
was gone. A number of the King's
friends were absent ; and out of thirty
Bishops, but eight voted for the, ad
dress. He then resolved to retire, and
tendered his resignation to his Majel'-
ty ; but with an assurance, that he
would not desert the nation until his
majesty could call men to his Councils,
who had not the fame feelings with
himfelf on the emancipation. On
Thursday the dissolution of the minis
try took place ; by the resignation of
mr. Pitt, mr. Dundas, Earl Spencer
lord Grenville and mr. Windham ;
but with the declaration to keep the
seals and keys until their fuccetfors
Should be appointed.
“ From the following Lift of Out and &,
which however we present only as the rough

New Cabinet :
Ctrl's. INNS.
Mr. Pitt, Succeeded by Mr. Addington.
Mr. Dundas, Lord Hawkefbury,
Earl Spencer, Duke of Clarence.
Mr. Windham, Lord Auckland.
Earl Chatham, Earl Clare.
Mr. Grenville Levefon ? T <
Gower, j Lord Malmfbury.
Lord Grenville, Earl Macartney
Mr. Canning, Lo,rd Caftlereagh.
Mr. Thomas Grenville, Sir Lawrence Parfoni
Marquis Cornwallis, f Ma , is Atacorn,
' ( or Dukt of Kent.
Lord Loughborough, to be Lord Privy Seal
Lord Elden, to be Lord Chancellor.
Sir John Mitford, to be Speaker.
What the final arrangment may be, we can
not fay with confidence ; but we know front
good authority that the one firfl proposed has
undergone fomechanges. According to it, mr.
Addington was to have been First Lord of the
Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer ;—
but the Duke of Portland has been par
ticularly requested by his majesty to
fill the office of Prime Miniftep ; and
mr. Addington Will hereafter be only
Chancellor of the Exchequer. Some
reports state that Lord Camden will
be Secretary of State for the Home
Department, the Earl of Weftmore
land First Lord of the Admiralty, mr.
Pelham Secretary at War, Lord Ma
cartney President of the Board of Con
troul, Sir William Grant attorney gen
eral, mr. Percival solicitor general ;—
and that Lord Loughborough, the
Duke of Portland, and the Earl of
Chatham, will continue in their several
offices. All the rest, mr. Rose, mr.
Long, Lord Hawkefbury, mr. Steele,
&c. remain, and mr. Pitt declares it to
be his wish that his friends may all give
their support to the new administration.
To many it will be a confolation^
that, in all probability ; the fame sys
tem upon which we have hitherto gone
is to be pursued! A new attempt,
however, is to be made, to negotiate
with Bonaparte, and a passport is to
be asked for Lord St. Helens to go to
Paris. It is proper to shew a disposi
tion to treat—it may help to conciliate
the people to the new arrangements !
By hrs Coronation 61th, his majesty is bound
to oppose the Catholic Emancipation. In that
oath he twfars>=" I promise to the utmost o '
my power to maintain the laws of Gon, the
true profcffion of the gospel, and the Proteftani
Reformed Religion established by law; and
will preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of this
realm, and to the churches committed to their
charge, all such rights and privileges as by laW
appertain to them."
There are a great variety reports
of the probable business ot the neW
Parliament.
