Upon the whole, we must impute
to Burke some of the evils we h ive
suffered, but posterity' may reap un
mixed advantages from his works.
He combined the greatest talents of

was overmatched, not by the abili
ties of others, but his own. He rou

rnence, diffuse without being languid,
concise, on occasion, without being
obscure, never failed to agitate the
milder passions. A spirit of divine
morality breathed through him ; and
however our opinions may differ up
on the actual effects of ins words and
writings, it is no great exercise of
candor to suppose that his intentions
were pure. His immense stores of
knowledge, were, in general, drawn
forth to promote or to resist some
practical object, and he forced upon
as the necessity of appreciateing all
human intelligence^ by the good or
evil to which it is directed.—'1 he sen

and ever alive ; more rapid .hull the

which he scorched us w ill soon be
no longer left, while the light which
he diffused will shine upon us lore
ver.
.d him a mere nominal head, and if
the conscious talent of Mr. Cunning
occasionally made him troublesome,
there was siill strength enough in
the cabinet to reduce him to disci
pline. We do not state these points
with any purpose to offend ; our ob
ject is merely to illustrate in some
a mist ol su- small degree, the present state of the
cabinet.
When Mr. Canning found, that se
cretly by some, and openly by others,
he was thwarted in all his attempts
to introduce the marquis W -llesity
in the cabinet—when th; t part qf
the cabinet in opposition to him set
uj> Mr. Perceval as their man—and
another secret coun-
forward on the parts
ds, Mr. Canning re-
gtng things to a coc-
cidcdly demanded,
aiilly had a righ t to de
mand, the dismissal of Lord Castle-
rcjgh, and the avowed preference of
himself to Mr. Perceval. The duke
of Portland, anxious only for petue
and tranquility, alter endeavouring
in vain to (lissuad; Mr. Canning,
and to reconcile the parties, consent
ed to Mr. Canning’s proposal ; but
as thc notification of it to LordCas*
rlereagh must have necessarily led to
further divisions and disputes, it was
agreed to suspend the execution of
u till parliament had been proroug-
ed. Mr. Canning and the duke of
Portland had still the majority in the
cabinet, and therefore were enabled
to cany their own measures. Lord
Liverpool, we believe, remained
neutral, content if he could merely
execute his own duty, and keep th;'
cabinet together.
Alter the failure of the expedition
to the Scheldt, and the progressive
growth of the dissentions in the cn<
hi net, Mr. Canning deemed it ne
cessary to demand the abovenfenti-
joed notification to lord Castlereagh,
and after some difficulty it was at
h ngtli made. The immediate con
sequences are too well known to re
quire a detail. The statements of
all the parties have been given to the
public, and an unprejudiced judge
cannot Lutr condemn them both, and
