'REAS URY PAMPII;.

WS Should not have noticed this Work, if we
had not been informed that great pains were taken
at the Treasury to circulate it. We do not, how.
ever, accuse Mr. ADDINGTO-N himself of encou.
raging the circulation of the calumnies of the " Near
Observer," because he knows them to be unfounded.
The Author, under pretence of a fair examination
'of the state of Parties, sets out with imputing the
Purest motives to Mr. ADDINGTON, and the basest
motives to Mr. PITT ; and upon these data draws
all his conclusions as to the conduit of each. He
speaks with confidence of all that passed on
Mr. ADDINGTON'S accession to power,- and of
the whole transaftion relating to his proposal to
Mr. PITT to resume his former situation. Upon
both these points, we believe his statements to
be totally false. The whole oiled of the Pam.
phtet is to raise the reputation of Mr. ADDING.
TON, and lower 'that of Mr. PITT ; and upon
the latter it is a must insidious arid unfair attack.
We would not advise any of the Friends of Adinini-
stration, for their own sakes, to enter the lists, or
to force an explanation upon some of the points
toothed upon in this Pamphlet.
Upon the subjeit of the difference which seems
to prevail between Mr. PITT and Mr. ADDING..
Tote, the friends of the latter cannot surely desire
more advantage than that his ease should he stated
in his own way, as it has been, repeatedly, while
Nr. PITT, appearing to abhor any thing which can
be considered as a breach of confidential intercourse,
'does not deign to reply, but seems to allow every
in4n to form his opinion, and draw his conclusion,
who ehuses to do so upon hearing only one side of
the question. If the 'Writer of the Pamphlet
of which we have been speaking, had chosen
to put his name to it, he probably knows that
he would not have escaped without a pointed
!ply, while an AriOnymous Libel is generally suf.,
feted to pass without notice.
When we have seen at the beginning of Mr.
AtiaitICITON'S Administration, a' Newspaper en.
teturaged at the Treasury, containing the highest
panegyrics upon Mr. ADDINGTON-, and daily viii.
lying in the grossest manner the charaiter of Mr.
hewr, and this too at a time when every friend of
Mr. ADOZNOTON was expressing the greatest at.
taehment and the greatest obligation to Mr. PITT,
we must say, that the pains which we understand
ere taken at the Treasury to recommend and cir.
tulate the Pamphlet in question, excites any other_
feeling rather than our surprize.
