LONDO N, MAY

NEv ca, perhaps, did a Debate excite a more
lively interest than that which took place on Friday
night in the House of Commons, on occasion of
Mr. NrcHoLLs's Motion of Censure on Mr. PITT,
and Lord EELGRAVE'S and Sir H. ,MILDMWS
Amendments to that Motion. If we have abstained
from expressing, upon every opportunity, our Most'
unqualifieq, admiration of the great talents and dis-
tinguished Virtues of the late Minister, it has been
from a conviaion that our feeble panegyric could
add nothing to the:, splendor and solidity of his
Fame ; and we were satisfied that the good sense
of the British Nation at large led theta to feel the
deepest gratitude for his eminent Services to his
Country, and a just esteem and veneration for his
pure and upright Charaaer. To this convi&ion and
belief, we have not been mistaken. The voice of
Calumny and Faaion, which has attempted to sully
his fair. Fame, has only served to awaken the spirit
of the Senate and the Country, and both seem de-
termined to do justice to
.the most transcendant
talents and the brightest public virtue, that, perhaps,
were ever conjoined in a human charaEter. Sir
ROBERT PEEL, a man whose testimony must do
honour to .the highest reputation, threw out a hint
in the House of Commons, 'on Friday night, which
we trust, will be efficaciously followed up ; and on
Saturday a Subscription was opened at Lloyd's, by
the most respeaable Merchants of London, for the
purpose of ereaing a Statue in honour of Mr. PITT,
and in commemoration Of the distinguished and
valuable Services which he rendered to his Country
during the course of his able and upright Admini„
stration. These are eminent proofs of the National
Sentiment with respea to the late Minister, which
no language can strengthen ; but which we feel a
most sensible gratification in thus being enabled
simply ;o state to our Readers, and which We are
confident will diffuse universal satisfaaion.

WE this morning received the Path Papers of the
6th inst, They bring no news of importance. The
Spanill Admiral GRAY I NA has written to his Court
from St. Domingo, but his Letter is not of a later
date than those of the French Commanders. The
prohibition against the Importation of English Mer.
