withstauding this concession, and the poweritti arguments of
Mr. Grey and his mdightened supporters, the motion for the
productiou of papers was as usual last, the majority fur the
Ministers being 2'45, whilst the minority numbered IVO.

" As the Minister had thus refused the communication ur
certain documents, tending to criminate himself, it was de-
termined by the oppositiou that the) should proceed against
him on the evidence already produced. Accordingly on
Feb,lll, Mr. Whitbread moved, that the house do take into
consideration the papers on do table reipecting the late
armament with abssiai and iaa the support of this motiou Mr.
Grey drew a poignant and powerful character of the late
Mr. Pitt, ss Picts is undoubtedly, though severely, just.

" The ' Right Hon. Gentleman had iudeed been con.idera.

Chatham timid high, the privies+ Minister deemed it neces-
sary to assume a dictatorial air tilt be might pass for a per
son who could give the law to the differeul powers of Europe.
In comequence of the incense so lavishly bestowed upon him,
he had been prancing throu,:,ll every carat ou the continent,
and after mach gasconade and bluster, met iii each nothing
but discomfiture and disgrace. The success of the Right
lion. Cielltleinan in the allaira of Holland had elated him in
such a manner, that it came into his bean that he coul.l parcel

that he laid of taxes, for supplied the west of arguments by
the division of majorities in that house. His friends, and
those who pretended to be his friends, flattered him into that

of which is usually followed by firmness, and io the end with
substantial profits and well-earned applause. On the con-

the had in the course of last year giber' uotice of his intention
to muse a reform iii Parliaineot, in which intention he con-
tinued, and should embrace the first opportunity of perform-
ing.' Mr. Wyndham suid Mr. Burke seized this opportunity
to express their opinions (scaly; and as they were now coo*
sidered as having abandoned the Opposit' for ever, the one
was soon after uomirvited Secretary at War, and the other
received allperaiou ou lives, which produced upwards of
28,0001. sterling.
A low days after this, Mr. Grey accused rho ministers
"of lnevirig utilised the act of padieosout, and deceived
the public, in making use of the word istsiurterlsas fur the
poirpose of ceiling out the nailithi, mat conveimig the 10.,
/Wawa : whereas the real design was to catch till im-
pulse of national loyalty, sod to draw the house into
illectilliteS which, on coal reflection, they would find tease
to repent of."
Although Mr. Grey and his associates condemned the
war, yet that gentleman professed on mote than one occa-
sion, that neither he nor his irunittliate friends deemed it
proper to deny any aid that could strengthen the hands of
Government. They, however, opposed, and that strewn.
misty, a her of subsidiary treaties, particularly the
one entered into with sardima, when communicated to
the House, in 1794. On that occasion he asserted, that
the aegociation was not only iniquitous and unjust, but
absurd and impolitic. ' The question now before us is,
(said he) not whether lac 200,0001. had been given as a
hire, or as a boon, to animate those etremiriate Sardinians
in defence of their own territory ; hut whether a treaty,
which went to such an extravagant length as that now be-
fore them, was such as either expediency or sound policy
could dictate to any set of men employ ed in the service of
their country.'
" It would occupy a whole volume to detail the_ppeechea
of Mr. Grey np to slit period wheii be was called to the
peerage. Scarcely any debate had taken place, subse.
foetal to his appearance in public life,-in which he had
sat bailie a distinguished part. Thrunghout the whole
of the !ate war he testified his 'form disapptobation to
the measures of Mr. Pitt, and helped by his eloquence, as
well as Ilia habits of busiueas, to render a small minority
respectable. .As ours of this managers of the impeactuireint

the constitution, and prevent the. degrading practices of
corruption. Su correct. however, has brim his conduct

Cadiz, whence she sailed on the 17th ult., bringing
much later accounts than those received throtyh

pletely subsided at Cadiz and its ncigl.llJurhood,
