Fox —“ Gentlemen, one of the wifcil Aits ever piflod by Parliament, is that which provides, that when any Mem ber accepts an office, he (halite fern back to his CohlHruents to have theif ftnfc and opinion of his conduit, and to afeertatn whether they coafider him as having, by foch acceptance of office, deserted or (till preser ved those principles upon which they had formerly returned him as their Reprc fentativc. >. , 1 “ Gentlemen, if you think by rtiy hav, in® accepted the poll I now occupy in his M jjelty's Councils, Iha ve violated or aban doned those principles upon which you last did me the honor to elect me as your Repre sentative, you will do wifely and wellinrel jeiling me —f Huzzas J. But if. Gentle, wen, you confidcr that I hare not deserted nor betrayed any of those principles, then, Gentlemen, i hope I may expeit with con- Sdfcncc, tu enjoy again that honour you have so often conferred upon me.— (Huzzas.) I have accepted of theoffice from no desire to gratify any vanity or intcrefted feci- v> ing of nay own, but solely from a sense of duty and of the calamitous Hate of the coun try. That the Hate of the country is high ly perilous, no man in his senses, will, 1 think, deny. If we look at home, there is much rcafon to feel regret; if we look a broad, there is little realoa to indulge hope. And there is certainly less cause for us to ex pert that we shall communicate fatisfadian, than that we shall give disappointment. Un doubtedly, Gentlemen, there is no bright exception to the general gloom ; the immor talday of Trafalgar, dearly as it was pur chased by the death of our great hero, docs attone for the calamities we have experien ccd elfewhere ....{Huzzas.) This is not the time or the place to go at any length in to a consideration of the ftateof the country ...but that this fcate is highly perilous and calamitous, is unquestionably truc. Under fuck circumftanccs, I have, in conjundion with many great and able men, ventured to undertake an important office, with a view to contribute our belt exertions, to avert from our country the perils by which it is menaced.—and we have done so, fully aware that there is but too much reafen to fear disappointment, and little hope of gaining credit or reputation. Whatever way indeed we turn our eyes, We can difeover fiercely any thing that is calculated to gratify our wilhes, or to encourage our hopes. At home we witness great fufferins, and distress; and in that department with t am m Q‘C immediately conneded, I can fee little from which to draw confolaition for the part, or hope for the future. Gen tlemen, ds I fa id in my advertisement, it would neither befuitable in my rime of lief, '•nor to the long connexion that has subsisted between us, to make profefiions; but you may rely upon it, that 1 dull remain in place . a hienj to liberty, an enemy so corruption, and a decided fupportcr of that just weight which the. people ought to have in the Con futation.”— Huzzas. Mr. Fox was than put in nomination, and no other Candidate being proposed, the : High BatlifFftated the (hew of hands to be in box’s favour, and declared him so be du ly defied. He was afterwards chaired. # the afternoon the friends of Mr. Fox dined at the crown and anchor Tavern. Mr. Fox in the chair. Mr. Sheridan fat on his right hand, and lord R. Spencer, on bis left. The dinner was served up about 6 o’clock. After dinner, thefirft toast proposed by Mr, * Fox, was— “ The King, with three times three,” The next toast was— i “1 he Elcdors of the city of Weftmin- I fter. 7 Mr, Fox then observed, that as he not only labored under fomc 'degree of irdifpo fition, as mu ft have been observed on the hustings that day, but alfohad fomebufinefs to tranfad, he would beg leave to retire, af ter giving a toast which he had long been in the habit of proposing— “ The cuafe of Liberty all over the world.” Then followed the healths of— “ Lord Lauderdale,” “ the friends of freedom in Scotland,” and <( the Duke of . Norfolk.” Mr. DionuMfung thepupolar song, of Burns;— “ Scots, wha hae wi’ Wallace bled.” And several other appropriate songs, and the evening concluded with the utmost con viviality. iSiINTH CONGRESS.
