more fatisfadoray explained in (.partite ai ti;Le, than in the body
of a Malik, arc introduced under their refpenive term.. This
is indeed the only proper Plan of a Dielimiary intended fur refe-
rence when information is required, which is expteted to be found
under its moll ready and familiar term the Alphabet.

The title, under which Mr. ADDINGTOI is called
to the Houfe of Peers, is Vifcount Stomouni, Baron
Aoutacrox.

Every paper has lately teemed with Afervations
on the late reconciliation of that entice charaaer
with the prefent Miniftcr, and has difplayed its in-
confiftency in praife or blame according to the turn
of its political party. On this fabled we 'aave barely
related fags, as far as they could be afcertained. In
fpeculation we have not ventured to enter the has :
we, however, thus far will affert, that we convey the
echo of the voice of the People of England, when
we hail the return of Mr. ADDINGTOM to the Coun-
cils of the Nation. Our opinion of him has bees con:
fiftent ever fince he became a public charaaer. We
were the firft to exprefs a will; that his genius might
be called into high oftenfible aaivity, long before the
expiration of the laft century. Ta thofe who accufed
him of inaltivity in the profecution of the War, we
would afk whether more has been done fince his re-
fignation ? There may have been thong rcafons for
adopting a different condu&, but we have reafon
to believe that when he was forced from Admini-
ftration, he had fome expeditions in immediate con-
temp'ation, one of which was the reduCtion of the
Cope ,f Good Hope. Was the uegociation which pro-
duced the war, void of aaivity and fpirit ? Was not
he the author of thole meafuras, which have placed
the country in a fituation of magnanimous defiance
of the enemy ? Of the confequences of the blockade
of the Elbe, we cannot perhaps form a judgment ;
but that meafure was one of thole bold ftroltes of un.
expefled policy, which aftonifh and perplex an enemy,
aud (lamp the charafler of a Ratefman with talent
and genius. With refpefl to internal fyftems, it is
acknoAledged that Mr. ADDINGTON has the rare
merit of Ihewing his attachment to the King and to
the Church of England, while he refpefied and pro-
tailed the Conftitution. We mean not here either to
load one party with ramie, or to court the favour of
another. Independance (hall be the order not of a
day, but of our exiftence ; and this principle calls
upon us to declare our firm perfuafion, that the return
of Mr. ADDINGTON to power is an event calculated
to produce the moll beneficial confequences.

The Spann frigate, captured by the Pot.yros-
st us, which has arrived at Plymouth, is called the
Santa Gertruda. She mounts 4o guns, was bound
from Lima to Cadiz, and has on board 1,200,000
dollars, betides a valuable cargo of cocoa and other
merchandize. She was taken on the Bth of Decem-
ber off Cape St. Mary. She loft her main-mall on
Chriftmas Day, and her rudder the day following,
after which (he threw her guns over board, and was
fo much (battered, that it was neceffary to tow her
into port by the WALLIS. armed (hip.

We are again called upon by our public duty, to
caution our Readers againit placing any credit in the
reports relpeding a negotiation opened by BONA-
emura. He may, 'indeed, endeavour to lull this
country into a temporary ftcurity ; but our Rulers
will recoiled the conclufion of the Strand Punic War.
Perhaps the' Gentlemen cone led with the Stock
Exchange, are more deeply in the fecret than• we pre-
tend to be.
