appointrftent we thiqk likely triongh, but we i:re.
some it will hardly be finally fixed, till it is certain
that Mr. PITT comes into power. We have already
said that these two personages, in conjunction wilh
several of the present Ministers, would compose a
strong, vigorous, and popular Administration. In
saying thus much we are confident we only echo
the public sentiment upon this important subjea.
When we say too, that such an arrangement has our
wishes, we only join in the general wish. It is
from a warm regard for the principles, and a high
approbation of the conduit of the present Admini-
stration, that we ardently desire to see it strength-
ened, in the new and perilous circumstances of the
Country, by those talents which all the world con-
fesses to-be pre-eminent, united to those principles'
with which alone the principles of the present Mi-
nisters were congenial during the whole of our
arduous struggle, since the commencement of the'
French Revolution to the present hour. Such a
union as we desire, we are quite sure would have
as much effect in deranging the schemes, and damp-
ing the ho-pes 'of the Enemy, as it would gratify,
invigorate, and rejoice the whole British Empire.
