NOTII tx6 can be more flattering to Mr. Pirt;
and his Friends thad the
,sentiment ,which` now
generally who Were mast
inimical to them while
.in office, lament, Fier the
. sake of the Country; that it is deprived of their
' talents- This is the sentiment of every. Friend
of Mr, ?sinotiro-ro-N—it is' the 'sentiment of
every respectable Man'in the Country—and from
which we.do not exClude•some Members of Op-
position, whoM we have heard express themselves*
.to this efrea.„ ,We have already declared..Otrr in_
tentiort to support the measures, of the New Ad..
mhiistratioz, under the persuasion that they will
be founded upon the Same Principles as the last—.
Principles, the' abandonment of which will 'not
only expose us to the danger of Revolution, but
will ensure it.—Whether the door of Innovation
upon the Constitution is. first opened by 'arlia.
mentary Refortn, 'or by any Of the other Wild
theories to which the Opposition
.is Illedged, -the
consequences are the same, and the confusiqn •-
and misery of the Country are inevitable—Of
this truth we believe Mr. ADD t lidTqN and his
Friends are sensible, and while they ad upon
.it,
they :will be supported by every true -friend .of
the Empire.-
But we are far from saying, that no alteration
should ever be "Made. It is upon questions of -
s'trulati&aupon. Government, that we wish
our' Rulers to learn a lesson:of Experience from
the- Enolmities of the ninth Revolution. We
cannot but .think, that Lipari the paint on which
ISlr.- Pi 14 and hb-C9lleagties have thought. fit to -•
-retire., from Office, a difference of opinion may.
•
most- conscientiously. be entertained..-4 the_re- 1.
maininerivileges had been given to the Catho.
lies 'by .the Government of..tbis.Country, it may,
and we know,.it. does appear to many,' that such ''
Concessions could not have endangered:the Pro,..
iestant Church..—they,' Might have quieted .the
minds of Three Millions and a*Fialf of People, and •
firmly attached them to the Empire—and perhaps,
we should, in that case,
.ba,ve contemplated„ a
French- InVasion. of Ireland, with as little alarm-a 5
we do that of a Descent on this pap of the Unit.
ed Empire. While we say this,. we know, there
are those who conscientiously think. that these !.
concessions must be followed by others, or that
the Catholics of Ireland'would still remain
contented. We could enter, further' into ..this .
. -
_question, but we:: feel the delicacy of. agitating
it present. If' it must be discussed at this, •
etiticatmoment, we h.ope it will& treated with
calmness and -modeiation. •. Those who admit
any inflammatory- topic or either side of the

4ti6stion, do not consiciet the real interests 'of
the Country.

We have now the more pleasing duty of con.
gratulating the Country upon the formation of a
new AdMinistration, which, as we are deprived
. of the services of Mr. PITT, Mr. DUNDAS, Lord
GR ENV I LLE, Lord SPENCER, and Lord LOUGH-
BoßouGn, gives, from the talents and charader
of those who compose ft, the best pledge for
the continuance of that System by which alone the
true interests of the Empire can be maintained ;

and we know not where His MAJESTY could
have seletted men fitter to replace those whose
retirement at this critical conjuncture we cannot
but deplore.

" SIR;

" PIS MAJESTY having been pleased to ex-
press his intention of appointing me, at this
COnjunaure, to a 'situation which -would be, in..
compatible with the continuance of my serVice
to the House of Commons' I am obliged, to
request that you will tender to the House my
lestgnation ~f an Office,' in itself the most Ho-
nourable, and repeatedly conferred upon
,me in
a manner the most gratifying'. in quitting such
a situation, endeared to me by considerations the
nearest to my heart, I am unable adequately to
express the sentiments of respe&, gratitude, and
regget with which lam impressed. I ;tin sus-
tainek by' the consciousness that on this occa-
-sion I am aauated by the same prindiples of pub-
lie duty, by which it has been my earnest Wish,
and constant endeavour to regulate my conduct,
and from which, I trustohat I shall never deviate.
46 I am, with true regard and friendship,
SIR, your TAM, ObedientSOVant,
g HENRY •ADDINGTON."

We find that notice was given in the House
- or Commons on Friday by Colonel FuLLARTON,
of a Motion which he intended to make on
Monday, for the Thanks of the House to the late
Speaker,' Mr. Ao Di IV crox,-for his Services 'and
ConduCt when filling the Chair.
• However the retirement of Mr. PITT and his
Friends may be regretted, the People .have at
least the consolation of not seeing any danger at
present of. the .elevation of Mr. Fox and his
Party to office. Mr. Fox has given such un-
gualified eulogiums on the French Revolution
that he may be justly suspected of a partiality to
French. Principles. Besides this very important
ground of objeEtion to- his resumption of Mini-;
sterial Authority, ht • even committed himself

Strongly in favour- of those Principles in matters
'relative to the Government of Great Britain ; for
be id accused of havingdeclated.that «resciiionti
was a question merely of "mfr." . The infer-
ence from this declaration, seems-to he alarming
indeed, for it. implies a right in- the People to
resist whenever they may have reason to consider
themselves as strong enough .to succed, and hence
th. old principles of Repub/ihin. Zealoti; that
they may tatkirr- their Governors when they
please, is what might. he • revived, if any man
were to bi.-444.vested With power who entertains
such loose notions on the doctrine of, Political
Obedience*
