NORII . ICH FOX DINNER. 111 Ro k . 4 8680 • _ _ - .sr account or the last commemoration of Mr. Fox's 'birth day, we mentioned the great utility of occasionally assweiliug the iends DI Liberty. The political events which have occurred since we made that observation, have famished abuielaut evidence of its truth, and the rapid progrexa which has been made in the plait for embarrass ing, it hot totally preventing, all public discuesiou of national imirjects, proves the necessity of clinging with increased fondness to the restricted privilege* which yet remain to us, and of cultivating with additional ardour the few opportunities which we still possess, of vindicating our imlcpeudeeee. These privileges and opportunities are, perliape, even DOW depart:nig from us, and it is but too probable that the power of holding ►ugh an assembly as we have this day to describe, will, ere long, be wrested from us. The steps of despotism are gigantic, and his speed increases with his proximity to the goal: so much has. been recently achieved by the enemies of freedom, that the it confidence is heroine unbounded, and they san guinely anticipate, at no distant period, the overthrow of every popular privilege, and the extinction of every libe ral, eentintent.. While each passing year renews our sorrow for the loss of the first ut modern pail tots, we feel on the present (m -usicl a melancholy consolation, in reflecting that lie did not curium the pain of beholding, the dreadful wounds which. within the last few weeks, have been inflicted on that freedom which It was the business of his life to defend , Mid to Werra:ie. Row bitter would have been his !amen tetione over the changes whirls have taken place in the constitution w Melt he loved, and how deep would have been his regret fur the Moth tttt ion of those I 'ties which he held to be essential to the welfare et* his coun , try t He was, however, spared the pain of wing the almost entity sumo ession of popular assemblies, nor did he live to see the dwellings of hie countrymen exposed to the nocturnal visits of the emissaries ut power: lie wis not condemned to be the spectator of a press ,truggling -.ter reetraitits which the boldest. Minister of tinnier les would not have dared to impose upon it, nor did he endure the 'Marry of hearing the triumphal shouts- of the enemies attic constitution. But still we must not despair; we must profit by his ft iliglity example, amid amidst the deepest political gloom it is our duty out only to hope, but to expert with con& ileac*, the restoration of our rights. We must not suffer .marselves to feint in the contra, bat continue it rigour• . eusly until we can fermi tt ate it by a glorious victory. It ks thus, and only thus, that we can prove ourselves the true disciples ut the immortal Fox, and his worthy col leagues in our country's cause It iv thus, and only thus, tbat we can recover oar natural independence, and transmit to our posterity the liberties which we derived fiom our ancestors. Let ns, then, from lime to time, renew our exertions in Meetings such es this, and let us assemble mide the foe -twin protection of our Patriot'! name. His mighty shade will hover over us, stimulate our efforts, and.finally conduct unto general happiness and ceustitutional tree dons. The tickets issued on the occasion amounted to 460; and, as no room in the city was capable of containing's , large a Dumber of guests, the Mayor• was kind enough to oiler the are of the Towu hall for their meeting. The offer was Joyfully accepted, and fur some days previous to that on which the dinner was held, the stewards were employed l in ' superintending the boarding and matting of the hall, and in overlooking the other preparations. On Sunday evening the Duke of Sussex, accompanied by the Earl of Albemarle, Sir R. Ferguson, Mr. Coke, , Mr. Macdonald, and others, arrived at Mr. Alderman. Festees. During the whole of Monday, strangers kept pouring into 'wick from various queries . : of the county of Norfulk • considerably before four o'clock, the hour appuinted the dinner, the Hall was completely filled. At ri quarter it four, the shouting of the multitude without,, and the 'king up of the magic within the hall, announced thearrival . the Earl of Albemarle, the Chairman of the Meeting.— He seas received with the greatest enthusiasms Shortly after wards the Duke of Susie: made his appearance, amid the loudest acclainations,and was received a ith the mid honours, the music playing " God save the King," and the commute rising on his approach. The tables were ranged in three down the hall, and at the eud of them, opposite to the ws of the French ship Glorieue, presented to the Cm , lion of Norwich, by Sir E. Berry ;. Bowater table was ed under a canopy, at which sat the Chairman and the demen who acted as Stew aids. The canopy was gar otted by a transparency of the word " Sussex,' crud by. the name of " Fox" amidst a festoon of variegated lamps.— Opposite to this canopy was " Albemarle," similarly illu minated, in the middle of the centre table was placed a d.bast tel Mr. Fox. with:some emblematic devit:es.

Perhaps. upon this toast, a Chairman might be expected in offer a less winds, before he proposed it. For himself,. before he proceeded to make such observations as he thought it proper to hazard upon the sultject, he wished to state, that if, on a former occasion, when he had eitjuyed the honour of presiding, (and he must repeat, that he used not the word " honour" as a mere courtly phrase, but in the best and purest signification which the term could bear; fur he did consider it a high honour and a profound distinction to preside over a meeting assembled to testify approbation of the principles of Mr. Fox, and to pay a respectful tribute ' to the memory of him whom all loved and admired, I and whose l o se to his country, though_ the poignancy of grief which it first excited bail subsided, according to the wi.e ordinations of Providence, in the lapse of all finalising time, was at the present moment most deeply to he deplored)—he wished to soy, that if, when he had the honour of presiding on that occasion, after being called to the chair by the wishes of his friends, he had thought it necessary to call upon them for their. co-operation and indulgence, he thought it still snore necessary to do so at present, under the pecult :sly gratify log circumstances in which he was placed, called as he had again been to the Chair by the partial proposal of he Hon. Friend, seconded too as that proposal had been,. by the general approbation of those who sm - rounded him. (Cheers.) The very circum stance of receiving a second time such a distinction at their hands, demanded of him a return, which he was afraid that he should not be able to offer. (Applause.) On the last occasion he allowed that the meeting had passed off wet;; but the Chairman wm-unt at all the cause of it. It had passed oft highly to his satisfac ; but when he considered the object fur which the meeting had been called, and recut ected that it had been COlllllObt d of persous differing indeed in some slight shades on political subjects, but differing only as men of free minds always must defer on such topics; united, however, sin all great col eitutional points--United in their wishes to establish civil and religious liberty throughout the world—united in their determination to sup port by every constitutional means the rights and privileges of the people—united in their admiration of the constitution as established at the revolution—united to their approbation of the principles of Mo. Fox, as best calculated to support the welfare, happiness, and honour of the country—united to pay u tribute of F. spect to his memory ; and iu the eloquent language of his estemed friend, Mr. John Taylor. to " Come to his grave, but sot to weep, ". But freedom's bolyday to keep; and to render it a sacred altar" round which they were to vow to liberty ;" when he considered nod recollected these points, he felt convinced that, no matter. what the Chair man might have either done or said, the meeting could toot by any possible accident have met with a failure. And,, u ow, supported as the Chair was, on the right hand by an illustrious branch of the Home of Brunswick, (loud appladee) ever mindful of the principles which seated his family on the throne, (applasse repeated); on the °the', by an individsal placed in the first situation in the county (the High Sherif, Sir W. Wyndham Dalling,) who high and honourable as that' situation was, did honour to It by the manner in which he discharged its duties, (cheers), be willing): paused; for if he did not then pause. he did nut know when he should,. espe cially as he saw himself also supported by such a numerous and respectable assembly as was never before met together,. considering the rank, the property, she talent, and the respectability of those who composed it, all looking to the Chair. with cheering countenances, sod all contributing to t be goad humour, and, what was a still more essential point,. to the utility of the meeting. He was not going to play the hypocrite, and to say that he regretted being placed in the Chair; by no means ; it was a subject of pride and exulta tion to him; but be was going to say this—that when in it bewasnothingwithout their co-operation.—He therefore called upon them for their indulgeuce, asked them to forgive any errors which he might commit, (he ought rather to have said the many blunders which lie should commit), and entreat them to believe him to be most sincere in his wish to pay individual attention to oil present, and anxious not to give offence by any omission of respect. (Loud cheering.)— Davis% said thus much iegardinghimeelf, he should now say a few words-en the toast he had to propose to them. Last year, as it was the first meeting of any considerable extent which had been held. uptus the subject, be had felt it his duty to enter at length buth into the public and the private character of Mr. Fox. Now that this meeting had been established, and Hs he trusted firmly established, that it did become us it were a rallying point to the friendxof the cum stitution, and an altar to liberty never. to be violated, it ould he useless fur him again to enter into these topics.— Of the private charactet of Mr Fox. he should nut may a single wore; those who knew hem best, if their feel ings would permit, coula say the most ; but if they wished to form nu opinion at his-public character,. he would say, " Look to the 'immures of those who were opposed to him; see the state to which they have reduced the empire; view the country as it was, and as it is; consider the changes a hick have been made in the constitution since yen last met for the same pi.rpose with that for which you are now assembled, unit reflect upon the revolution which has taken place in it since you last suet together in this very hall.— (Loud cheers.) If they would consider Its' general discon tent which was bulleilly one silently pervading the country, arising not from disaffeetion—for the ipso* of England were well affected to the Ctowis and coristitutitm—(cheers) —but from a system of anal-administration, and from dilutes' which could be ,feats traced to the pressure of tows* Ml ming taxi • —if they could secutlect t. at Hie wants,. the wishes, and the distresses sit the people were met by nothing Ise hut force, and were not even attempted to be redresmu by concilintoon ono g .0d government—if they would iellect sin the leceut extiaairdiiiiiry audition made to the ltUndlii, a my in tone of peace, and the detestable name sit the late Measure!. into the details of Whii it he a ould not colter, as hr a asjustified to a alto% them a violation of the solidi tli 1011, Siata they lied been admitted to be oil li b. the Attnistrts of the Crown—measures that were most eap..l . 6yr and ri let Uvr, end as euugrni.J to the COOgretw oh Aiv la-l.hapelle, and pleasing to the Princes of the Holy Allortuce, as the : were unemagenial and grievous to free-horn L•t.gl shnn a. —(Juud cheering)—il they w0..1d ponder well twilit U obi sc topics, be would ask then could SUCO bills Isive been coact. a or, as souiejustily them on the ground of necessity, could to. them have existed, had the advice of 'tad his principles steadoly acted-on? nothin . = el- at prevent, they slin kraut silence 1 .

The Earl of A1.8E16,4.111.2 said, that he was now come to the more convivial part of the evening's business; bow he should get thron' it be did ant know ; he would, however, begin well. The toast "e would give, as soon as announced, would make the vaulted roofs of that hall resound with their acclamations, fur he was going to propose the health of an iilustrious freeman of the city of Norwich (loud applanse)— of an illustrious breach of the House of Brunswick (cheers), of whom, he would repeat (for he coald say nothing more pleasing to his Royal it ighness or more grateful to himself), that he was mineful of the compact which seated his family on the throne. Ile would give them the health of a Prince, who was grateful for the affection and loyalty which the people of England had always shown to his family, and who evinced his gratitude by the best means iu his power— by standing forward as the firm and undaunted amporter of the rights of the people. (Cheers.) Were any thing wanting to increase the adtniratiou felt for him by the inhabitants of Norfolk, it would be supplied by his conduct atibe present moment; by the kind and correct manner in which he was DOW. believing. On his arrival yesterday at Alderman looter's. he received an unfavourable account of the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent.— llifißoyalHighness, Influenced by the affection which be bad for his brother, had been afraid that he should be obliged to forego the gratificatios.of attending this meeting, and paying a tribute of respect to the virtues of the illustrious man whose memory they are now celebrating. Fortunately his Royal, Highness had that day received a fitvoumble account of Ms; brother's health, and they now bad the pride and pleasure et I seeing his !loyal Ilighness-amongst them. (Cheers). Thiel was sO gratifying a theme on which to discourse, that he could with ease dual upon it for n longer time; but he knew the eagerness which they felt to cheer their Mutations visitor, and he should therefore give offence If he detained them any longer from gratifying their wishes. He would therefore propose the health of the Duke of Sussex with three times three. (Loud cheers.) The Royal Duke's health was then drank with nine times nine. The Duke of Sussex said. that after the very able manner in which his noble friend bad introduced the preceding toast, or ra ther had proceeded to the commemoration of the day ; and after the very - kind manner in which he had noticed presence among them, he (the Duke of Sussex) felt considerable difficulty in following their noble president. in such a manner as to com mand the attention of so numerous an assembly as he then saw helore him, and in explaining . the satisfaction, the pride, and the pleasure, which he experienced in meeting so numerous a body, firm in their determination to support the principles of Mr. Fox, which in .his opinion were best calculated for the principles nets of the aountry. (Cheers.) When he had the honour of being elected a citizen of Norwich, he felt the compliment white was paid to him as he ought ; and he believed that he had expressed the same sentiments which he had just now avowed to their worthy Mayor, so courteously and so perspicuously, that no per.. son could mistake them. He wished to testify those sentiments.. not only to the citizens of Norwich, but also io the independent yeomanry of the county of Norfolk ; .and a pervert who said that such piinciplea trete revolutionary, ou ght to be reminded that the necessity of a revolution would be the greatest evil which could befall this country. Since we had been erigaged eff; much in foreign wars, we hail imbibed foreign ideas. and nem apt to express 'hem in foreigs terms. For himself. he had pride in boasting that he had been born an Englishman and that he. had lived an Englishman. and he could assure them that it enil his intention also to die an Englishman. (Loud cheering.) Now. he had been told that the word constitution was en odious and uisagremble term; but it was one of that nutrient:loam ; which he most admired; because, when he heard toe woad constitution, he recollected the word compact; and if he was to get rid of the compact which placed the House of Brunswick on the eternise of these kingdoms, he should not know where t look for a home, (Cheers.) Home truths were best ; and he therefore said, that it' others were not to break their compote with him. he ought to take care not to break his compact with them. (Cheering.) He was glad that they accorded with that ; sen 1111 l ent,hecaute if they could not set out on a right under • standing. they never could come at last to the same conclusion. ' But now, as they Kati granted his first position, lie had no doubt' but they would secede to iiis last. How then diii we stand, and what was the einistitution ? We were told that we had rights anti privileges, and something more, which had been fashiona bly defined by certain high characters amongst US, its such a manner t h is none of us could understand, and they thin - melees could not compreli. nd.
