Majefiys Minifters. The motion was loft by 
a majority of only ten, the numbers being 226 
againft 216. On the 27th of that month, 
on the general change of adminiftration, his 
Lordihip came into power, as Chancellor of the 
Exchequer, with his friends, the Marquis of 
Rockingham and Mr. Fox. On the lamented 
death of the Marquis, on the 1ft of July fol- 
lowing, the appointment of the Earl of Shel- 
burn (now Marquis of Lanfdowne) to be fir& 
Lord of the Treafury, gave fo much offence to 
Lord John, Mefirs. Fox, éc. that they refigned 
th ir offices, and again entered into oppofifion. 
On this occafion, Mr. Pitt, the prefent premier, 
fucceeded as Chancellor of the Exchequer. 
On the motion, on the rrth of Feb. 1783, 
for an Addrefs of Thanks on the general 
peace, Lord John Cavendifh moved an amend- 
ment, which was fupported by Lord North, 
and carried againft the Miniftry by a majority 
of 224 againit 208. On the arft of the fame 
month, he moved a ftring of refolutions, dif- 
approving of the terms of the late peace, 
which were alfo carried againft the Miniftry 
by 207 againit 190. The Minifiry, at length, 
were compeiled to give way to the unyeilding 
and determined {pirit of the oppofition ; and, 
on the 2d ef April, the famous coalition 
Miniftty was formed, in which Lord Johan 
Once more became Chancellor of the Exchequer. 
On the difmiffal of the coalition Miniftry, on 
the 27th of December of the fame year, he 
Was once more fucceeded by Mr. Pitt, as Chan- 
Cellor of the Exchequer. From that time till 
the commencement of the French War, he con- 
ftantly voted with his old friends. He how- 
ever, in £793, became the dupe of the alarm- 
ifts, and his political ch.raGer will, in confe- 
quence, be tarnifhed in the eyes of pofterity, 
for having lent his vote and interett in fupport 
of the moft deftru@ive war, in which ths 
country was ever engaged. Lord John Caven- 
difh is, notwithftanding, admitted on all hands 
to have been one of the moft pure and exalted 
characters, even of his own illuftrious family ; 
and his death is a fubjeét cf real concern to all
