Addington ministry

The Addington Ministry was a ministry in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland led by the Tory Henry Addington, notable as an interlude between the two ministries of William Pitt the Younger. It is most notable for the Peace of Amiens which marked a brief cessation in the Napoleonic Wars.
