,
tutitf, in answer, observed,
1 hat in returning thanks fOr'tlie honour they
had conferred Upon him, he 'did not eonside'r it Si)
much for the having executed the task they had
required:of...Mtn, as for the having been selected
from among so Many tor that purpose ; that the
Chairman Auld expressed the cheerfulness with
which he accepted the task, and he most say, he
could not do justieeto his -own feelings, nor those
(If ti;e Committee, if he did not assert, that he bad
received it with a deep seme of the obligation they
had conferred on him, and he accepted it also with
a tearful sense of how lie should best answer their
,wishes; and still more,...liow he should hest .satis-'
ly his own; that it was not miecessary to enter in-
to the detail of all the difficulties Pitt; had to
encounter; .snilice, that however great ,they had
been, his
,character'stood the higher fOr thew—he
a
felt 'also difficulty in recording Mr, 'Pitt in a
Manner to satisfy posterity,. that due praise hail
been f.ciVCII him, not only us a public man and an ~
able statesman, hut as a roost blameless man, and
rossevned of Virtues in private life, which, dump!)
not an conspicuotts,in public, must ever shine on
record ; that he would here irepeat the word..
made use of by 'Mr.-Pitt himself the last time he
uddresscd the City of London,- on their 'compli-
menting him as the Minister who had ,saved, En-
rope, Which compliments he repudiated by-saying.,
England has saved herself by her own energies,
and he trusted that she would-save Europe by her
'-exionOle,' that WI .Pitt did not live to, see the
fulfilment- of his wishes bastlitul he lk'ed to this
• slay, he must have been highly gratified at the pre"-
tent prospect of affairs., Tlpit no possilikt ampli-
fication on his partvould in tiny. Way add to the
transeensfaut and itiuluesti'onahle writ:vhich
Pitt possess.ed of having saved his country,-and he
could not sit down ivitliOnt again thanking the
