London, June 6.

Mr. Pitt's abandonment of the present ministry is no longer doubtful. Yet the manner in which it was announced, was not bold. He did not choose to go the length of a direct censure of his Majesty's ministers in his vote--but that unwillingness to enter into any minute examination or discussion of their conduct, an unwillingness from which an inference was perhaps wished to be drawn-that such a discussion would only serve to drag into broader day the errors of their conduct; that remnant of a feeling of former friendship declared to be struggling, but struggling necessarily with a sense of public duty, was a more cruel censure upon their conduct than a positive vote in favor of Col. Patten's resolutions. The house, we believe, felt that Mr. Pitt's conduct was uncandid for we did not hear him cheered once during his speech. Lord Hawkesbury, on the contrary affected every one who heard him, by the mixed manliness and feeling with which he disdained to accept the compromise offered by Mr. Pitt. He bore the defection as a man, but he also felt it as a man. Mr. Fox, Mr. Sheridan, and the whole house cheered him repeatedly. It may seem rather a strange assertion--but we confess that we think the event of Friday's debate, so far from weakening, will strengthen Mr. Addington's Administration.
