flbje1 was peremptorily and finally rcfuied.
immediately after Mr. Pitt had left the king,
il is i;Iid, he waited on Lord Grenville, who, in
the moit decided manner, expreied bis determi-
lHtloD not TO accept Of any official cation in I
Cabinet from which Mr.. Fox was pro(cribcd.
In the evening meeting took place at Lord
Grenville's houfe, at which the Marquisof Buck
ingham. Lords Fitzwiliiam, Carlille, Spencer,
Mr. I. Grenville, Mr.. Windham, SC. &c. were
preicpt.--Mr. Fox was alto there, and in the
fame generous and ditintereited manner requell-
ed that no confederation of circumstances per-
i0nal to hnnitlf ihould induce Others TO with
hold their talents from the public fervice at 4
nonent OF fuch difficulty and danger. 1t was
the Unanimous feelings of all preftut, that they
could not render any fervice to the couutry, on
the principle on whichit was intended to form
1t, and therefore reiolved To decline any ihare
whatever in the new administration. Their FEM
tments were communicated by letters to Mr..
Pitt, who rcqueited another interview of the
King, for the purpoie of making another exer-
ton in favour of MIR. Fox's Introduction into the
Cabnet.-~Ihe impreiiion upon the Roya, mind
was, however too deep to be Grated, and Mr..
Pitt withdrew from the conference on Wednef-
day, disappointed in that object, although ha-
wing himfelf accepted the Offices of Chancellor
OF the Exchequer and Firit Lord of the Treafil-
ry.-On Thuriday morning, as we have already
itated, he was, according TO Court etiquette, in
vetted with the inhgnla and powers of thcie high
iituatoas.
Since Mr.. Addington's Administration could
not lai,, If was the ferveut with cf all deicrpti-
onsof men, that anew Minitry lhould be formed
on grand and truly patriotic fcale, compri-
fling the mot difiuguilhed characters in the
country. Nothing like an arrangement of that
nature can be now expected by the public; and
the nation, in'tead of having Miniitry scalcula-
n III
confidence, ard to hold out to Europe an un-
paraleed inttance of union, of ability, and ex-
ertton IN the various branches of the executive,
are now to have an Administration much worie
than that which was forced to retire and make
way for Arlington and his friends. 1t is to be
competed OF Mr.. Pitt, and Lord Melville, of
their underlings, and of isvera of the late Ca
binet, whom Mr.. Pitt 10 very recently and 70
very cordially coalefced with Lord Grenville
and Mr.. Vindham in reprobating. In thefe
frange materials we can difcover little to con-
fole us at a criiis ike the prefent. It's however,
but juitice TO MIR. Pitt to fate IN opinion held
in the heit informed circles, that he did every
thing IN his power TO form an Administration
which would have included Mr.. Fox and all
his principal friends, as well as Lord Grenvilc,
and al his; and that 70 far from pledging him.
ieif not to go into Office without MIR. Fox, he
had no communication whatever with him on
thai fubject.-Yet furely hfr. Pitt could not
have been ignorant that his Maisity would have
decidedly objected &c the introduction of Mr..
Fox MIR. Pitt, probably, knew, & poilibly was
not tory TO have known beforehand, that his
application was not likely 10 DC fucceisiai. He
could not but be aware ofthe abiurllty OF pre-
ientlag TO has Sovereign man, as one OF his con-
fidentiai advifcrS, whom lie had urged that So
vcreign to itrike out Of the In of Prvy Council
lors, as an abettor of fictitious doctrines The
application, however, was made and rejecled.
MIR. Pitt bowed, and undertook 10 form A new
