14 As a Minister of Finsoce, h. is still, es otter,
the man of words end shltracti,nr, figures, Cus.

resents., all flourishing, all splendid. N-var was
tech a prosperous errantry as Englald under Iris Ad•
ministration. Let it to.o olj•cteol that tl.t agroccitere
ref the country is, by the over.bslasice of commerce,
and by various snit comities causes, in such a state,
that the country bones as a pensioner fur bread on
lts neighboors, and a bad season uniformly threaten'
as with famine; this (it is replied) is owing to our
prosperity. All prosperous nations ar• in great disc
tress fur ford. Wilt prosperity, still golsersi phrases,

are things, these are realities ; and these Mr. Pitt has
neither the imagination to burly forth, our the sensi.
I hility 13 feel for. When we bear the Minister's la.

fiuely armed, end so deo/rashly canter:pent, that
the whole beers the semblance a argument, and
still keeps awake 6 sense of surprise ; but when all
is done, nothing rememberable has been said ; no one
philosophical remark, no one image, not even a
pointed aphorism. Net a sentence of Mr. PITT'S hat
ever bean quoted, or formed the favourite phrase of
the day, a thing unersmpled in any man of mist
reputation. The mere man of talent hears him with
admiratioo, the mere man of genius with contempt;
the philosopher neither admires nor contempt, but
listens to him with a deep and solemn interest, trac-
ing, in the effects of his elorpaenre, the power of
words and phrases, an] that peculiar ronstioetioe of
human affairs in their present state, which sn enii.

which keeping ap the glow of self-important., and
