It is (r frOm 64 intention to insult the .i/lenio'ry
this rinfortunaie iitan.--IVhatmer his tales arid

his vice i nary have been, he has now ce6'ed from
troubritig the worid', but his character and his con-
duct 4,inglit to be the subject of some otiervation,
since he had forced himself into the,notice of man-
kind, and it is therefore.•a duty to Society to hold

bim tbrth as a warning to those who may act ~from

sitnitar motives and with similar views.—He was by
no Means destitute of abilities, which *light have
enabled him to pass respectably through life if his
eotiduct had .been directed by right principles. But
he was vain, selfish, and ungrateful.--41e had ac-
quired some fortune in the East Indies, but not
sufficient to justify the style of lifc which he
adopted on hii return to this Country. In this re-
spect, however, he was actuated by policy rather
than pride,, for he thought by instituting charges
against Marquis WiiLLESLEY, he should • have.
raised himself into diatinaion, and perhaps be bribed
into silence. H'is ingratitude to that Nobleman
was of the basest kind, and be was properly pun-
ished by the deepest mortification, when he found
that the Marquis, instead of entering into any com-
promise .with hi worthless antagonist, courted an
inquiry into his Condi4, and looked for a recom
pence of his great services.in the approbation of his
Country.—But Mr. I'AuLt. had in a great measure
accomplished his purprise, for he became known to
the public, and in order to keep his name alive, he
not only persevered in his Charges ifi'fainst-MarquiS
WELLKSLEY, but allied himself with this; most des-
perate political faeaion in this Country ; and, to
complete the measure of his silly ambition, an-
nounced himself as a Candidate fur the Represent-
ation of Westminster. The violence and scurrility
with which he endevoured to support his preten-
sions were as obvious as his vanity and pi esuMptton.
At length it was Ibund, by the desperate party to
whom we allude, that his finances were not in a pros-
perous way ; and, therefore, considering
,him as
likely to be rather a but-then than a useful instru-
ment, it was determined that be should be' disOard,
ed, and the office was left to a man grown grey in
artifice, and whose craft is. only to be equalled by
•the hardness of his heart. But this man had,an ad-
ditional motive far readily undertaking
,the despica-
ble office, since his 'interest was atfeaed, and he
feared that yr, l'autfi. might be a rival in his:de-
signs upon fe dupe whom lie wished to keep ex-
clusively to himself.---Mr. Nutt. then,,witheet the

doomed to be the mark for a public at-

duced damning proofs of the duplicity and false-
hood of the map who assailed: him, which also deep-

The rest of Mr. Pstn.t.,'S history is well known.
He engaged in a duel with Sir FRANCIS BURD2I7,
whom be had really never offencied, except by using
hisiiame in an Advertisement in such, a manner as
their intimacy and their' joint politieal views folly-
justified. The result of this duel Was a wound,
which, with. the embarrasaments
,of Pavt.i.'s
situation, from which there was no pfospeet of re-
lief, gra,luall impaired his intellects, and at length,
stung with shame, mortification, and despair, drove
him to the dreadful 'resnerce of suicide. His chief
assailant, it he has any feeling‘ will perhaps indulge
a savage triumph over his 'deplorable end, but all his
other enemies, ilthey have any thing liberal in their
iature, will pity his miserable fate, however they
nay despise the folly and abhor the vices by which
was occasioned.
