" I met with a Gentleman at Deal, who told Me the fol.
lowing Anecdote, which strongly marks the vindidive spirit,
the invincible firejudices which still .govern the conduct of,

Mr. PITT.

hlr; Pt TT, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports w3s
waited upon by one of the most wealthy and.respeaahic in-
habitants of Deal, about ten weeks since. Thu‘Gentleinan •
stated to Mr. Pil* r, that he was.appoiuted 'to inform. that
'that abOut sixty of the moat reputable inhabitants of Deal
were anxious to. form a Cprin of Bombardiers,- to accoutre:
themselves,'&c. and to serve without any eXpence to GO-
venni:lent, to 'the entire disposal of which they wete willing
'in the event of Invasion, to submit to go, it accessary, tO
the remotest tpzirter of the Kinviom. Mr. Pitt apucared to
accept the proposal with alaertty, but said that it must have
the approbation of the Lord-Lieutenant, and the sanction of
'Government, 'which there was no doubt ofobtaining,i at the,
same time he desired the Gentleman to send in Use names of
the Officers whom the'lnhabitAts wished t. appoint. The
Gentleman acquainted the •liihabitants; by wn,m .he was
delegated, of the result of. tho jitter j;w. end they
diatelv expressed their wishes that ~he shouldshouldbecome weir
Captain,
and they also nominated lirop'or person In be weir
Lieutenant. The Gentleman accordingly appri.zed Mr. P; TT
ofllutirresolution; and the. Itigittlion..Genicinan promised
to acquaint him of the 'result of his Communkation %vitt%
Governinent within a very few days., The Gent Lin
fortnight, and tie-then wrote a polite Letter to. Mr. T T,'
stating that the Inhabitants were anxious to tiVITI th e Cut gat,
tice. and to know the intention of Government respef.th4.
their' proposition. To this Letter no' answer whatever has
yet been received, and it was written above OS weei: sita.e.
The reason, however, is supposed to be, that the Gentle-
min voted at the last Kent htee.tion for Filincr Hotly weiod,
'and Was his principal Agent for Deal 'and.the vicinity. Wits
ever party prejudice carried to a more unwarrantable VI Mine*
s this a .tone to encourage party distinctions? Such dill.,
respectful treatment as this to men of irreproachable chArac.•
- ter anti ereat stake in the Country, merely because they
kliipenect once to dider in opinion with the Minister, is comp'
temptible !nits nature, and may be mischievous in its uper...
ation. Is such .the" way to give powerful cenient'df
unanimity to the feelings of the people; at this perilous crisis ?
To render theta acacia and energetic in the cause of their
Country ?" •

The man who would accuse that great Statesman
of any thing So gravelling„ as malice against his
fair opi,onent at an Elelion, knows not•Mte PITT,
---qttippe minuti •
Seaver et iotirtni est aninu exiguittue voiuptas
Ulu°.

And if any man who knows the conduit of Mr.
PITT during the most arduous times that ever
ster contended with, will say that he can discOvet-
ought of littleness in his 'mind, I will give hini
credit for more-penetration than the Margate Cor.
respondent possesses. •
It' is very well to cram the pages
paper with tales of sity;wilsing Cait;afut:
cadet of
_female charlotte's ; but it not well ro
traduce the character of the greatest man this
try ever boasted, and attribute .to him a coridua..
which his proud soul would abhor. Proud. he is.„
and justly so; for if ever pride " was made for
man," it was for Mr. PITT. He 'has saved his
Country, and unless Higher Power in the State he
blind to its own interest, lie will be called to seellre
that salvation for hiss Country, which he'has already
succeeded in obtaining.
Having thus endeavoured to. shame the princilde
of the attack upon Mr; PITT, I think it my dot);
to state, that from my conneftions and 'habits 0f...
business, I know that Mr. PITT communicated the
eer in question as soon as it was made to him,
and that there was none other de)ay in the ;fecept-
ance of it, but that which the routine of Govern. •
ment business renders unavoidable.
I can also assert, and dare the denial, that Mr.
PITT has, as. Lord ANTarden of the Cinque Ports,
been atlive and' vigifant, nighrand day, to the in.
jury, of his health, which was already impaired by
his fatigues in the service of his Country.

litary service as' little prejudicial as possible to. the
private interests of the. individuals composing those

Fitted out by the Corporation of the'TtinitY,house
have sailed, for the purpose of being moored across.
