The following letter from Lord GrenviIe TO
Mr.. Pitt will be read with the deepef infereft.
We are afiiired that it is literally correts.
" 9Th May, 1904.
"My Dear Pitt,
have already spprifed you, that all the
perfons, 10 whom, at your deiire, commune
Gated what pafed between us yeiterday, agree,
with me in the decided opinion, that we ought
not to engage in the administration which YOU.
are now employed in forming.
We ihould be fincercly forty, if by declin-
ing this propofal, we fhould appear lefs deiirous
than we mutt always be, of rendering to his Ma
Jelly, TO the utmot of our power, every fervice,
of which he may be GRACEFULLY plcafcd to think
us capable. No confederation of perional cafe
or comfort no apprehension of Responsibility,
nor reluctance to meet the real Etuation into
which the country has been brought, have any
weight In this deciiion nor are we fettered by
any engagements on the fubiea, either exprefied
or implied we ret our determination foley on
our itrong fenfe of the improperly of our be-
coming parties to fyftem of Government,
which is to be formed at fuch Il moment as the
prefent, on principle of exclufon.
:" 1t i: unnecelfary to dwell on the miEchiefs
which have already refulted from placing the
great offices OF government in weak and incapa-
pie hands.--We fee no hope of an effectual
remedy for thoie mifchiefs, but by uniting in
the public fervlce "as large proportion as pof-
hbe OF the weight, talents, and character, to be
found in public men of all descriptions, and
without any exception. This opinion have
already had occafion to exprefs to YOU in the
lame words, and we have for forne time pat
been publicly acting in conformity to it nor
can we, while we remain imprefed with that
periudion, concur in defeating an object FOR
WDIch The circumstances of the prefent times,
aHord at once 10 ftrong an inducement, and 70
favourable an location.
" An opportunity now offers, fuch As this
country has feldom feen, for giving to his 90
yernment IN moment of peculiar difficulty, the
full benefits OF the fervices of all thofe, who,
by the PubleSvofce and fentiment, are Judged
molt caPable,of contributing its PROPERTY &
iitety. Inc wllbes Of the public on this fnb-
Ject are completely in union with it's ntereRs,
and the advantages, which not this country a.
lone, but all Europe, and the whole civilized
world, might derive from the eitablilhment of
iuch an administration, at flch crifis, would
probably have exceeded the mott fanguine ex-
peGtations.
We are certainly not ignorant of the diff.
Guilty which might have obfru6ied the final ac
complement offuch an object, however ear
nelly purified. But when in the very firt in
itance all trial oft is precuded, and when this
denial is made the condition of all hIbCeouent
arrangements we cannot but feel, that there
are no motives, Of whatever defcription, which
could juftify our taking an active part In the e.
itabliihment of fyftein, 70 adverfc to our deli
berate and declared opinions.
Believe me ever, my dear Pitt,
