LORD GRENMLE AND 1118. "PITT..

The removal of Mr. ADDINGTON from power, and
the mans by which he was forced to retire, have al-
ready excited much animadverfion, and every thing
that tends to throw light on that tranfallion, will
be read with interell by the public. In this view the
fubjoined letter from Lord Gatti vs Lt.e to Mr. PITT,
will be held an hillorical document Lereafter, when
the fcenes of the prefent day will be viewed with lefs
paGon than they now can. It teems to he admitted
by all, that Mr. ADDINGTON has paired the ordeal of
the late changes with an iacreafe of charaCter. Whe-
ther his fucceffur has not funk in the fame proportion,
we (hall tint now inquire. Mr. ADDINGTON'S con-
duet has proved him to be a man who will not pulls
down Parliament by the weight of the Crown, or
hunt the Crown into his toil by the means of Par-
liament ; who will not fet prerogative againft privi-
leges, or privilege againft prerogative ; who does care
whether he kill Cassio, or Cristo him ;" and to
whom all means are not equal that primate his end.
With taped to the perfons who deferted that Gen

tleman the infant he abdicated office ; thole impar-
tial fouls who can fee no diffinaion between "Trojan
and Trim," to whom, whether virtuously govern-
ing, or honellly voting, Pity and Arootworom, and
Fi

'ox and BUCKHORSC, are alike indifferent—as to
this dercription of crawling creatures, maggots of

our civil fyilem, it is bell to let them travel on to
that Pure oblivion which will preferve their memory,
about as long a► that of the hntfea on which they ride.

" MY DEAR P -.--..,

Sib May, 1804.

44 I have already apprired you that all the perfons
to whom, at your detise, I communicated what pair-
ed between us yefterday, agree with me in the decid-
ed opinion. that we ought not to engage in the Ad.
miniftratiun which you are now employed in forming.
" We fhould be fincercly lorry, if by declining this
propnfal, we iliould appear lets defirous than we mull
always be, of rendering to his MA)! STY, to the ut-
moft of our power, every fervce of which he may be
gracioufly pleated to think us capable. No confider-
ation of perfonal cafe or comforts no apprehennon
of refponfibility, nor relußance to meet the real fitu-
ation into which the country has been brought, have

oily weight in this decifiun : nor are we fettered by
any engagements on the fubjetl. either expreded or
implied ; we red out determination fulely on our
drong fenfe of the impropriety of our becoming par-
ties to a fyllem of government, which is to be form-
ed at fueh a moment as the prefect. on a principle of
excludon. _ _

is It is unnecefrary to dwell on the mifchiefs which
have already refulted from placing the great offices
of Government in weak and incapable hands. We
fee no hope of any effeaual remedy for there mifchiefs
but by on:ring in the public fer•ice " as large a pro-
" portion as pomble of the weight, talents, and cha-
" ratter, to be found in public men of all defcrip-
4, dons, and wit:tout nay exception." This opinion
I have already had occafion to exprers to you in the
fame wards, and we have for fome time part been
publicly aaing in conformity to it ; nor can we,
while we remain impreffed with that perfuafion, con-
cur in daeming An objet for which the circumaances
of the prefent tunes affiird at once fo (irons an in-
ducement, and fo favourable an occafion.

" An opportunity now offers, filch as this cantry
has feldom teen, for giving to its Government in a
moment of peculiar difficulty, the full benefit of the
fervices of all thofe, who by the public voice and feet-
timent, are judged molt capable of contributing to
its profperity and fafety. The wifhes of the public
on Ibis fubjeel ate completely in s:nion with its inte-
reftse and the advantages, which not this country
alone, but all Europe, and the whole civilized world,
might derive from the eftablifhment of filch an Ad-
minithation,at fuch a crifis, would probably have ex-
ceeded the mol fanguine expedations.
" We are certainly not ignorant of the difficulties
which mighthaireobftrated the final accomplahment
of filch an objea, however earneflly purfued. But
when in the very fir ft inflance all trial of it is precluded,
and when this denial is made the condition of all A&
revolt arrangements, we cannot hut feel that there
are no motive,, of whatever deficription, which could
jullify our taking an active part in the eftablifhment
of a fyftem, fo ad verfe to our deliberate and declared
opinions. " Believe me ever,
" my dear Ptrr,
"moth affeelionately your's,
(Signed) "

A grand party dinner, the laft, we believe. this
defcription, intended for the prefent feafon, was given
by his Royal Highnefs the PRINCE of WALFS laft
night at Carlton Houfe. The company affernbled in the
Saloon foun after fix, and was, as ulna], very name-
ronily attended. Immediately on tha removal of the
cloth, "The KING" was given, as the only toa ft of the
day. His Royal Highnefs took occafion, foon after-
wards, to addrefs his ditiingnill•ed vifirors upon the in-
creafingembarraumentsin theGovernm!iitofthe coun-
try. He alluded, but with great deiieacy,tothe Parlia-
mentary divifion of 'Friday laft, and concluded a very
elegant harangue by remarking, " that he trufted the
event of that night's difcuffion would be cnnfidered
by his friends as prnpitiOnfl). tending to a more firm,
and efficient P minillration, hereafter. than as a
temporary triumph of party fpirit." The company
feparated loon after ten o'clock, highly gratified with
their entertainment, and much more by the mixed
manlinefs and conciliation difplayed by their Royal
Entertainer.
