We this day give, we believe, a fal!cr and more correct account of the Fox Din n er than can be found in any other Newspaper, and arc in cooC quence under the necessity of curtailing our uslal Articles. Napoleon in addres,ing his army after the Battle of Austerlitz, told them that any one of them after having listened to the recital of a life of heroic actitn:s might exclaim as an equivalent to them all ‘• I NV:ni at the battle of A ast,:rlitz.' so might any one who was present on Mon.lay lust meet a relation of pleasurable occurrences of a series of years by exclaiming I was at the se cond of Charles James Fox, at Norwich." The great ability of the worthy and noble Chairman, Lord Albemarl. , never shone more brilliantly ; and in all the times we have seen I lis Royal highness the Dale oh Sussex, in mnver did we see Lim so arparently well, so notch delighted, nor Si) itraiiifestly happy ; tailved, with his benignity of feeling, it could nut be otherwise; he Was surrounded by such a comp:thy as ab s olu; c ly thrbatie the absence of happiness ; suth color:illy us we never saw in the metropolis, and such a com puny as we hesitate Ott to declare could not be tin.- nislicd by any town or city in Eilland, save enly !• by the city of Norwich_ It is a curious fact that two C;overnment Nies es-tigers passed through Norwich, at an early hour on Tuesday morning last, with dispatches to Lord Castlereagh and to the Eurl of Chatham, announcing. to them the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, a: the same time conveyed to the latter his appointment as Governor of Gibraltar, which took place but a few houri after the news arrit•edi of tlie unexpected vacancy ; and that in complete indifference to the retrenchment of an office tv1.:,!1 has proved to be unnecessary, at least in time. of peace. It was known to the Officer that his loyal I lightness tl.e. Duke of Sussex was in Norwich at the time, but he was :eft to come at the know ledge of the mel.:acl4 event, so intevesting to hit feelings as a brother, by means of the pubis.• S e wspapers !

American Papers to the 16th of December have been received. They contain the documents laid before Congress at the time of the delivery of tF President's message. The proceedings in Congress are brought down by these papers to the 10th ult. On the Sth a resolution passed both Houses, lhr the' admission of the State of Alabama into the Union :Is an imlependent Lute. Select committees were up pointed on the subjects of organizing and disciplin. ing the militia, and of improving the Indian tribes in the arts of civilized life. A debate took place on the question of separating the affairs of comments and manufactures, lasetofore regulated by one cont• mittee, into two distinct committees, it being contended that both. were subjects of the highest importance to the Union, and their interests fre quently at variance. This opinion was strongly opposed by Mr. Newton, of Virginia ; but the amendment was carried by a majority of 28 On the 9th, a committee was appointed in the House or Representatives, to award an indemnity to those. officers mid soldiers who lost hoeies and other pro perty in the Seminole war, through the neglect of the Government in furnishing the necessary sup plies. On the 10th, by the same Ilouse a resolution was agreed to, without debate or opposition, imply ing some distrust in the Executive Power, with regard to their disposal of the public money. It Wall for the appointment of a committee to enquire whether :thy of the public monies appropriated by Congress fur the pay of the regular army, since the ttln of March, ISI3, had been applied to the sup port of any army or detachment of troops raised without the cons,mt. of Congress. •A motion Wis made by Mr. Pinckney, to bring in a bill to reform, the circulating medium of the United States. His plan, it is understood, embraces an issue of Govern. went paper, transferable by delivery, and calculated to come in aid of specie, and of paper equivalent to -• specie, to increase the quantity of the circulating medium, supposed now to be less than is necessary for the purposes of trade and internal intercour:e.. The question of do:nestle slavery, which is involved in the bill for the admission of the state of Nliss. • souri into the Union, is expected to give rise to a warm contest in Congress.
