FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE

DEATH OF MR. PITT.

On Tnefday morning his difordsr had taken a
more favourable turn, and the fever was apparently
fo abated, that his Phyfieians encouraged hopes of
his recovery; but towards the evening, when the
Phyfician, who chiefly attended hilni paid his viuit
before taking leave of his patient for the night. he
found that ate fever had returned with inereafed vio-
, lence, and entry fymptom was In aggravated, that all
expeaation wits at an end.—lt became now neceffary
to declare an opinion. and to acquaint Mr. Pity him-
Pelf with the imminent danger. The Bifhop of Lim-
coca, the oldeß and foodeß friend of Mr. Purr.
was called out of the room, and the following opi-
nion was expreffed to him, nearly in thefe words
44 He cannot live forty-eight hours—the diforder has
now taken a mortal turn.--any attempt to route him
from his preen lethargy would be attended with
inilant death—he is not Itrong enough for medicine,
or any reiterative application.—lf he lingers a few
days more, it will aftoniar MC"
The Bifhop of LINCOLN now taw the neceffity of
intimating the danger to Mr. Pity. He fulfilled this
painful office with firmnefs ; Mr. Pm. was hardly
Venable ; this dreaded (bock had fancely power to
chffipate his lethargy ; but after a few moments he
waved his hand. and was left alone with the Whop.
During the night, his fever continued ; and the
Rrong convulfions in his Romach more than once
threatened to break up his frame.
The Bithop of LINCOLN fat op with ltint.—The
Phylicians now thought proper to difcontinue me.
dicine.—During the morning of Wednefday repeated
enquiries were made after him, and a Ratement of
his danger was tranfmitted to hi, MAJI STY, to his
relations, and molt of his friends. Lady liesrsa
STANHOPE, his niece, and Mr. JAMES &roomers, are
laid to have bad an interview with him on Wednef-
day morning, and to have received his lan adieu.
—His brother the Earl of CHATHAM, took his lag
farewell late at night. Mr. PITT was fiercely (esti.
tile. He could fpeak nothing; he could cxprets
elation, gratitude, and hope, only by figns.—
The Bifhop of Liticusw continued with him all night.
The mortal tymptoms were now approaching to a
crifis. kis extremities were already cold, and his
fettles began to fail. As aIA and tie-perste effort
to prntraa life, Millers were applied to the foles of
his feet. They reltored him to fomtthing of life and
recolleliorb but they could arra nothing of the pro-
igrefs of death. It is Paid that he continued clear and
ic ompofed till a Runt time before bit diffolution, which
took place without much addition of fuffering or
!flruggle at half pall four on yefterday mowing.
As the public curiofity has been much excite re-
fpcaing the loft moments of Mr. Prix, we hay. an-
thwity to mention the following particular's—
Upon titling informed by the .Bifhop of Ltecota
of his precarious Rate, Mr. Pitt inilantly expreffed
'himfelf perfealy reigned to the Di.Vlllll MILL, and,
with the uturofk compofure, afked Sir W
PAR/113H me, who was prefect, how long he might ex-
, pea to live;
Mr. Pity then entered into a converfation of Come
length with the Bifhop of Lracoto upon religious
fubjeas. He repeatedly declared, in the Rrongeß
term. of humility, a fenfe of his own nnworthinefs, '
and e, firm reliance upon the mercy of go., through
the merits of CHRIST.

After this, the Ili(bop of LINCOLN prayed by his
bed-fide for a confiderable time ; ■nd Mr. PITT ap•
peared greatly compofed by thefe lilt duties of Re-
ligion.
Mr. PITT. afterwards proceeded to make Come
arrangements and requeßs concerning his own pri-
vote affairs: and declared, that HI DIIID IN rs♦ca

The death of Mr. Pirr it, at might be expated,
the fubjelt of general conarerfati9p. In announcing
this event yellerday we purpofely avoided, as we now
avoid, entering into any ftrillnres nn his political eha-
rafter, which, at the prefent moment, cannot be of-
fered without fohjelling the writer to the imputation
of /lane and rallanefs, though fcveral of our contem-
poraries, pnffelfed by a kind of intuitive faculty of
writing, without fraying any thing, feem no way fearful
of injuring the fame of a departed flateman, of whole
eh:tea/ler they are no more qualified to Ipealce than
they are to fillthe officer and employments left vacant
by bit death. We cannot however avoid mentioning i
prevailing trait in the general expreffion of Opinions,
which dots honour to the charaller of the nation.—
In all convellttions repelling the deceafcd, all party
and prtcal feeling feesns to be laid afiele, and his
charade is appreciated fairly sad booonray
. . .bl as as
man.

To appreciate our departed Wainer, as a Pond.

right, to fill the Ration, and to emulate the talents
of Chatham.—lf he was not born an orator, he was
earlier trained to oratory than any flatefman of the
age.—ln watching over the kright prngrefs of his
Audits, and anticipating his future fame, his father
was not deceived by parental partiality. The young
eaglet looked undazzled like his fire to the blaze of
glory and pre-eminence.—Even when a boy, his ta-
lents fo► declamation were fo prompt and ambitious,
that when Lord C one day heard of his
tutor's intention to take him along with his elder
brother to hear the debates is the Houk of Lords, he
forbade him, laying to the tutor, " You may take
the eldefi, but I will not allow WILLIAM to got for
I am fore that he would rife up and fpeak, if he heard
any thing that did not agree with his opinion."
CHATHAM knew the full value of promptitude,
copioufnefs, and energetic declamation to a Paths-
v./Rotary flaterman, a$ he forefaw his fon was to be,
and he moulded the fine elements of his genius for
that purpofe. Never did loch materials for the for..
mation of rhetoric. fall into the hands of fuck a
teacher. By early praaice, guidance, and encou-
ragement, our Miniller, poffeffing by nature a rich
fountain of intelleetual images, was taught to ar-
range, to beautify. to amplify, and fwell the order
and progrefs of his thoughts, which were sot
reluaantly brought out in debate, but evolved
with a fpontaneotis promptitude which had an in.
fluence almoft like magic. The quickell and thong-
eft imaginations are longtime* arrelled in the
courfe of their eloquence, by accidental croffing of
thoughts, and forced into confufion and hefitation
—but the order of Mr. Perr's ide.as feemed for ever
to be fo marthalled that nothing broke or confufed

them. Even when betrayed by the richnefs of his
imagination into parenthefis, involution, or deviations
he never wanted exuberant language, be never loft
himfelf, or needed to halt for a new arrangement.
To fuch a power of extempore declamation and
reafoning was Mr. PITT formed by nature, and in-
butted by art. This talent was habitual in the fon.
The burfts of Cmarmast's eloquence were indeed
extempore, but it was not the fpontaneoufnefs of
difcipline, it was the elearic fire and promptitude
of nature. But C ,to be truly great, needed
to be roufed—the god did not defcend but when the
occafion was worthy of a god. Often, very often—nay
almoft always, when the fubjea fell fliort•of his ta-
lents, CHATHAM was cold, embarraffed, and ongrace.
ful.• Even at the beginning of his lunches (unlefs they
were (lion, and evoked fuddenly by fume animat-
ing occafion), he (truck his audience as ettonithingly
inferior to what he became, when the rubjea had
wound up his mind to the full pitch of its eoergy.—m
Mr. PITT was, on the contrary, uniformly rich, Ito-
!mintier, and prepared. But Rill this extempore
faculty was often more in word than thought. He
()coal:many covered flimfy reafoning with luxuriant
Terbiage—CHATHAM never did. Mr. PITT bad not
ideas to fill his language—Caarn aet bad not ;.9.
guage. The tongue of man had not language to
convey the vehement force of his thoughts.-,-
Mr. PITT was prepared by habit to (peak, think,
and reafon, extemporaneoufly on every fuhjea in
the wide circle of his cares. C/I•TN•M had pre-
pare/ his thoughts on them in the clofet, and for
words he united to the native powers of his mind,
to awaken the moll natural expteffions when the rublea
had routed the full et thufiafm of his fpirit. He (poke
more from natural feeling t his cootie was lets mi-
ll on, but his excellencies greater. He was more
of aii Orator than his Son. Mr. PITT NIS eloquent,
but his eloquence approached the Rhetorician nearer
than the Orator.

The reports to-day relative to the probablefueceffiir
of Mr. PITT were numirtots and eontradiaory. Some
Rated, that the Oppoetsof would immediately Arc-
ceed to power; but the mop general and prevalent
opinion was, that the Marquis W LLLLL LIY and Lord
SILIMOUTH would be called to tii4 Kijarry's Conn-
cils, the latter as Fite Lord of the Treafury (the!
Chancellorthip of the Exchequer to be feparated '
from that Office, and to be held by Lo'id CASTLII•
IsAG it), and the former as one of the Prineipso Secre-
taries of State. Upon this fubjee, however, ails at
prefent is mere conjeeure. A Council (ennfilli,pg
of all the Members of the Cabinet, except L' rd
CHATHAM), was held lel night, probably upon this
important occafion ; but the refult, of courfe, will
not tranfpire until it has been fubmitted to His Ma.
jelt y, for his approbation.
Mr. PITT, it i. generally known, was the fecond
fon cc that truly Mulls ious Statcfman 'and celebrated
Misiiiler, the late WILLIAM PITT, Earl of CMAI HAM,
by Lady HESTER GRYNYILLII, the after of the late
Earl Tim, Li, and celebrated Ounce Gitxri
and aunt to the prefent Marquis of BUCRiNGHAM and
Lord Gataitics:* He wastiorn at Hayes, in Kent,
on the zBth of May, 1759, the year in which hii
tber'striamphant and fuccefsful Adminifirationwas
at its zenith. The education of his early years, and
the ilitassets et his knowledge, were acquired with
• .
private baton, under the immediate eye and correc.
tusti of his father, who, even at a very early peririd,
&HOW is teaching him to argue with logical
demi, and to (peak with elegance and force. At the
early age of fifteen, Mr. Pire was taken from &wee
tic tuition, which was latterly under the fuperinten.
dame of that accomplifhed fcholar, the late Rev. Dr.
Wmemi, and entered 4'enabroke Colleg, in the UM-
verSty Cambridge. 'He was there chidly undec,

the guidance and tuition of Dr. Tomtit, now Dca:.
of Norwich, and the celebrated Dr. PasTrrstAN, now
Dean of London and Bishop of Lincoln ; the Lauer
had previoutly been fume time engaged in Ailing
in Mr. Purr's private tuition and, as far as
cal and mathematical attainments, a better choice
perhaps could not have been made. With refpeet to
the important powers of eloquence, the baR inftrutaa
of his day was certainly the late Earl of C me.

Yelerday, about one o'clock, his Ma lime' arrived
in his travelling chariot, from Windfor, at St.janses'a
Palace. About two o'clock, his Maisary being
feated on his Throne, received the Addrefs of tit
Univerfity of Cambridge, on the glorious tatter
obtained by the late Lord Maim, over the Com-
bined Fleets of the enemy. In the abliece of the
Chancellor, his Addrefs was prefented by' the Vice
Chancellor of the Univerfiry, who came up in Sate,
accompanied by all the principal Officers of the Uni-
verfity, and an nnufual number of Clergy, and of
the Students.

About half pea two o'clock the Lord Chancellor
came in Sate from the Houfe of Lords, attended by
the Earl of Essex and Lord Vikount Carleton (the
mover and feconder of the Addrefs), and a confider.
able number of Peers, and his Majelty was pleafcd
to receive, on the Throne, the Addrefs of the Houfe
of Peers, on his Allajefty's Speech to both Hodes of
Parliament.

Abut three o'clock the Speaker of the Honk of
Commons came in (late from the Houfe, attended by
Lord Francis SMICIR, Mr. AlllBl.ll, and fevered
other Members of Parliament, sad Wonted o his
Majeßy on the Throne the Addrefs of tilt Honfe of
