ILL.  It is (r frOm 64 intention to insult the .i/lenio'ry this rinfortunaie iitan.--IVhatmer his tales arid  his vice i nary have been, he has now ce6'ed from troubritig the worid', but his character and his conduct 4,inglit to be the subject of some otiervation, since he had forced himself into the,notice of mankind, and it is therefore.•a duty to Society to hold  bim tbrth as a warning to those who may act ~from  sitnitar motives and with similar views.—He was by no Means destitute of abilities, which *light have enabled him to pass respectably through life if his eotiduct had .been directed by right principles. But he was vain, selfish, and ungrateful.--41e had acquired some fortune in the East Indies, but not sufficient to justify the style of lifc which he adopted on hii return to this Country. In this respect, however, he was actuated by policy rather than pride,, for he thought by instituting charges against Marquis WiiLLESLEY, he should • have. raised himself into diatinaion, and perhaps be bribed into silence. H'is ingratitude to that Nobleman was of the basest kind, and be was properly punished by the deepest mortification, when he found that the Marquis, instead of entering into any compromise .with hi worthless antagonist, courted an inquiry into his Condi4, and looked for a recom pence of his great services.in the approbation of his Country.—But Mr. I'AuLt. had in a great measure accomplished his purprise, for he became known to the public, and in order to keep his name alive, he not only persevered in his Charges ifi'fainst-MarquiS WELLKSLEY, but allied himself with this; most desperate political faeaion in this Country ; and, to complete the measure of his silly ambition, announced himself as a Candidate fur the Representation of Westminster. The violence and scurrility with which he endevoured to support his pretensions were as obvious as his vanity and pi esuMptton. At length it was Ibund, by the desperate party to whom we allude, that his finances were not in a prosperous way ; and, therefore, considering ,him as likely to be rather a but-then than a useful instrument, it was determined that be should be' disOard, ed, and the office was left to a man grown grey in artifice, and whose craft is. only to be equalled by •the hardness of his heart. But this man had,an additional motive far readily undertaking ,the despicable office, since his 'interest was atfeaed, and he feared that yr, l'autfi. might be a rival in his:designs upon fe dupe whom lie wished to keep exclusively to himself.---Mr. Nutt. then,,witheet the SILLIOW of any reason that his own 'party' could Urge for this unexampled diStuissiun, 'Was at once doomed to be the mark for a public attack, in order to bring on him diSgrace and misery. The design Was obviotis, 'and the manner was contemptible.=--Mr. Yirt.t. answered, this attack with Spirit and ability, and produced damning proofs of the duplicity and falsehood of the map who assailed: him, which also deeply implicated the person whom the latter intended • by these means to secure tO The rest of Mr. Pstn.t.,'S history is well known. He engaged in a duel with Sir FRANCIS BURD2I7, whom be had really never offencied, except by using hisiiame in an Advertisement in such, a manner as their intimacy and their' joint politieal views follyjustified. The result of this duel Was a wound, which, with. the embarrasaments ,of Pavt.i.'s situation, from which there was no pfospeet of relief, gra,luall impaired his intellects, and at length, stung with shame, mortification, and despair, drove him to the dreadful 'resnerce of suicide. His chief assailant, it he has any feeling‘ will perhaps indulge a savage triumph over his 'deplorable end, but all his other enemies, ilthey have any thing liberal in their iature, will pity his miserable fate, however they nay despise the folly and abhor the vices by which was occasioned.
