MR. FOX'S BIRTH DAY. • [Concluded from our Paver of January 13.] " The great genius of Mr. Fox, to have been. efficient (says Mr. Trotter) should have reigned supreme in the management of public affairs. • Mr. Pitt, under the wholesome restraints, and instruaed by the enlightened mind of that great man, might have conducted a subordinate: department with be nt fit lo his ccuntry.." We have no wish to alter Mr. Trotter's opinion : in God's name, let him en j,.y his prejudices and partialities; but before the public w e will venture to lay our estimate of the probable consequences'which might 'have resulted from such an atrangement at one particular pericd of our mod-in history. We neither seek to distort Ja&ti, nor to dedUce false.conclusions ; the circum• stances which- predominated. at the •period to which we allude need only to be fairly recited, and the-in ferences we seek to impress upon the mindi of dis passionate readers, will be self-evident and 6311- clusive. . " At that momentous era, when revolutionary tenets, and the principles of republicanism made_ra pid strides in . the world, and memiccd with destruc tion the monarchical systems of Europe—amidst the encouragement of innovation and the annihila tion of order—When good men were proscribed and bad men triumphed—and when, in the plenitude of .arrogance, the republic of France denationalized all the empires arontid them—at-this awful and ct;tical moment, the liminess and ability display d by Mr. Pitt on every occasion, effectually stemin .d the tor rent which would otherwise have overw ehn3d us, and preserved tie honour and safety of - Lis country unimpaired by the greatest political convulsion which • the page of his , ory has recorded. He was collected -MO& midst of external danger, indefatigable in the pursuit of one object, although his mind was, at the same moment; assailed by domestic commotions, and she virulent animosity of an unrelenting party. The resources of his oenius; however, were ade quate to the crisis, and as We 'darkness thickened around him, he appeared as the angel which rides upon the storm, and duets its fury.' The eyes of Europe were fixed- upon him in admiration of his greatness, and trembling nations confidently its- posed iheir hopes in his bosom. " The line of condo& which Mr. Fox pursued vas directly opposite in its nature. The friend of republicanism—the admirer -of the revolution—and .., the steady advocate of licentious liberty, he stood forward, on' every occasion, the ready .eulogist of men. who acknowledged no laws, and who were bound by no tie but that of self-aggrandisement.— .1n the House of Commons, at the commencement , • tte year 1790, advertinr , to the state of France, e observed, that the coiduot 'of the French sol diets, during the late commotions, tended greatly to remove one of the objections' which he. had al ways entertained against standing armies. That army ; by rtfusieg toakey the dictates of the court, had set a glorious example to all the military . of Tcrope, and bad shown that men, by becoming soldiers, did. not cease to -be. citizens.' The mind revolts from the anticipation of the results, which would have arisen from the general adoption of a principle so well calculated to excite a spirit of insubordina;ion among the military, and which might have led to consequences truly alarming and uubounded in their nature and limitation. 'The 'passions of the public were in a most combustible .state, and a little effort would have sufficed to - set them in action ; a similat scene might , then have been witnessed in this country, to that which has tiled. an indelible infamy on France; our streets might have been inundated by the blood of their citizens : and those ho had retired to the suburbs avoiJ the hot rors ithin the walls of London, night (to use an elegant expression from the book of Mr. Trotter) in a calm day or evening hear distinctly the chop of the guillotine.' g - In a subsequent diScussion Mr. Fox more ex plicitly asserted his opinion as to the French Revo luiun. He did not scruple to acknowledge, that Las whole system of external politics had been changed by. the change of the French constitution. He bad formerly been anxious for maintaining the • balance of - power, but now he owned himself to be very indifferent about it ; not because our ancient rival and enemy might seem ton weak or too poor to give us any immediate disturbance, but because she had erected a government, from which neicher insult nor injury could be dreaded by her neigh bours. He expressed' his approbation of that go vernment for its tendency to promote the happiness of its subjeCts ; and, adverting to the dtiferent opi nions entertained on the subject, he avowed his ad miration of the. new constitution of France, as the • most' stupendous and glorious monument which human integrity-had erected to hotoan happiness in -any time or country.' • " Mr. Fox's condtra at the period to which we are alluding was certainly direttly the reverse of what might have been expected from an enlightened stattsman. The deVelopement of hl3 republican . sentiments gave, consider.ible strength to the fattions which increased astonishingly throughout the king dom, and alarmed and separated from him some of Isis most strenut.us adharents. It was at this criti cal juncture that Mr. Burke, struck with the asto-„ . nshing contrast afforded by the uptight and inflex ible patriotism of Mr. Pitt, and the wild enthusiasm and indigested assertions of Mr. Fox, felt him 'self imperiously called upon to desert the stand ard of faction, and to enlist himself into the sacred - catise of justice and truth. M r . FOx was sensible of the great injury which must result to his party . from the secession of Mr. Burke, but his obstinate adherence to the pernicious sentiments which he bad imbibed vs as too strong to be shaken. Notwith standing this tenacity was so strongly displayed at the moment, Mr. Fox was subsequently induced to qbalify the intemperate speeches he had so frequently made on the subjed. We are far from accounting 'this recatratiotr asa blemish - in the charaater of Mr. • Fox ; - we consider it rather as a distinguishing tea ture ; 'and our object in - introducing it is principally, to suggest to Mr. Trotter,, as well' as , the public,• that, as be has - written, so Mr. Fox has spoken, things sollish he has agerwards had sufficient:. reason to be ashamed. " the assertion of Mr. Trotter, that Mr.. Pitt !. failed through ignorance,' has some truth in LONDON : Printed by 7 H At the SUN OFFICA When this great minister's meastires Were ndt crowned with all the success which might Iv4ve been justly anticipated from th.e excellence and-maturity of his plans, the defect was indeed to be attribut e d to his ignorance ; but icwas an ignorance such as is, fortunately or unfortunately, just as Mr. Trotter pleases, insevarable from human nature—it was an ignorance of the designs of an over-ruling provi dence. Had,Mr. Pitt been allowed to turn over the pages of futurity, and to make himself acquainted with the secrets contained in the womb of time, he might, in many instances, hmie altered the com pleicinn of his measures, and have turned to good etie&, the ekclu4ve privilege he would have thus enjoyed. It is, however, a very certain fda - t, that men are disposed to judge of each other according to the good or . ill fortune which attends them : the ta lents of the wisest man being apportioned only ac cording to the good results which may smile on his exertions, and the folly of the weakest never ap 'peating to the world, except when relentless fate haS set her hand upon him. With respect to Mr. Pitt, however, we can boldly assert, and appeal to the history of the times for a corroboration of the sen timent, that such were the unexampled reiils and difficulties of the period in which he presided, that nothing short of his genius—a genius soaring almost beyond the reach Of human cone4ption, in some of its boldest flights—that nothing ahi,rt of his vigi lance—a vigilance, ever wakeful and ever active-- that nothing short of his firmness—a firmness never appalled by the magnitude, nor discomposed by. the suddenness of danger, or the shock of disaster—in short, that Pitt, and no other than Put,.could, at this critical moment, have effected the salvation of the srate. " But let us look a little into the character of Mr. Fox—bf that consninmatesta.esman, in whom, according to Mr. Trotter, his Majesty saw the great shield of his country'—who gave the Foreign Office a soul ;' and, indeed, if the inflated wilier before us is worthy of belief, whose excellence sin-- , passes all we can dream of perfection. Let us see what shadows, or spots remain upon his b, which the honest touch of truth, 'viz. the touch of Mr. Trotter, has not removed. Let us hold the mirror of troth up to the part zans of error, that they mty behold their idol naked, and stripped of all the gaudy tinsel they have so kindly folded aboUt his ch irac ' ter. In Mr. Trotter's book, it is very true, we find every difference of-opinion .between its author and Mr. Fox minutely marked where the one thought the Catholic - ought to be immediately and fully" re dressed, while the other entertained a different opi nion ; the one loved retirement, but the other place; the one thought this a pretty passage in ./F 4 'neid, the other thought the .next was preferable; all these matters, which the reader would not give a dolt to learn, obtain particular mention in these Memoirs' because Mr. Trotter's consequence is thereby aug mented : but those public di► isions of opinion which the principal traits in a statesman's character, a►e all pa , “ed over in silence. It is therefore our duty, since Mr. Trotter's delicacy (of which he has a ce►y great share in his composition) would not allow him to find out any blemishes in the charatier of hiS pa, Iron, except where his patron presumed to ditfer in opinion from the Secretary; it is our duty, me re peat, to unveil the deformities which appear to us on the fame of Mr. Fox. " His inconsistency was clearly marked by his co alition in the Portland administration of 1782, Ail!) Lord,North, a man whom he had vilified with all the epithets which personal rancour could invent or apply; whom, to use the language of Mr. Pitt on the occasion, because he was prevented from pro secuting to the satisfaction of public justice, he had come forward to embrace as a friend. With this very man, who, in Mr. Fox's prior opinion, ought to have been brought to the scaffold—with ibis man was Mr. Fox contented to share the honours and emoluments of the state. Yet Mr. Trotter tel us, the sapient, the consistent author of these Me moirs,' informs us, that any coalition between his heaven-descended patron and Mr.' Pitt would have been detrimental to the public service, and degrad in6 to Mr. Fox.' " The violence of Mr. Fox's parliamentary con dal; his interference out of Parliament, to frustrate the views of Mr. Pitt, and his revolutionary speeches have already been alluded to : it only remains now to advert to the indecent exultat'on be displayed on the conclusion of the. peace of Amiens, not because he considered it advantageous to the interests of his own country, but as it would tend to promote the cause of republicanism. This was the sentiment which he openly professed to entertain, and this re volutionary orator was to be heard at public dinners, loudly expressing his joy that the glory of France was daily become - more consolidated. Yet this is the politician whom Mr. Troller holds up as a mo del to all future statesmen. We begin indeed to swiped that the approximation of the comet to our earth, intense refleaion on his own importance, or some other cause, hitherto unexplained, has tended to disorganise Mr. Trotter's tnental system,' and'that we really have been all this time poling over the ptolualon of an unhappy-lunatic. If this be the case, we would strongly recommend it to his at tendants to prevent, him from writing any more books; for, of all madness, the biblionzania is the most ditliult of cure'. " The last moments of Mr. Pitt present to the reader a snbliine and, moving pitiore—the most il lustrious of men, ackno,4 ledging hi..; weakness and unworthiness before his Maker, and imi.loring mercy at the hands of a benignant Creator. When informed of his danger by t►is worthy friend and preceptor, the Bishop of Lincoln,. Mr. Pitt said,-- I fear I e.ave, like too many other men, neglected prayer too much to have any ground for hope•that it can be efficacious on i deal li-bed'—but rising as he spoke, and clasping his hands with the utmost fer vour and - devotion—' I throw myself entirely (the last word being pronounced with a strong emphasis) upon the mercy of God, through the merits of * The following.tart but appropriate epigram appeared in one of the daily prints about the time alluded to : 7 - " The peace I approve of,- because 'twill advance " The Republican cause, and the glory of•France— "And that England has warr'd without gaining her ends, " Is a s'ubjedt of triumph to me and my friends What's he from whose lips such strange sentiments flow ?

Cry your mercy I without your intelligence, waiter, inistaken your patriot and whig for—a TItAITo it I :MIAS WOOD, of No. 35, Maiden-lane, Covent.gatdezi and Published by WILLIAM Alt MI E R SCRIPPS, South IV No, 112, &mad, where Advertisements, Orders for the Paper, Letters for the Editor, Szc. (post-paid JAM. nishf, or early on the morning of : Sunday ins!, a trinner of villains burglarioopl; entered the dwelling 7 honse of theilev. Mr. Corbel; P. P. of Glannmera• and Broadfbrd.— He was awoke, when in bed, by a number of heavy blows, 'Aided in rapid succession, which severely wormS.d him, as well as a Gentleman «ho had called late and partaken of his bed. When the Consequent terror of the moment permitted inquiry; he was commanded to deliier e up . his money, to which ;le feigned a seeming acquiescence, and beg ged to be vermitted to zrepe his way to his desk, ars there was no light. His first search at the desk was for a Pair of pistols, -which he usually kept loaded, and on Ir ng ith them, he called,on the rabbets to depart, threatening to lye among, them ; upon which he Was immediately grappled; when he fired, and one of the gang exclaimed that, he - was " - Murdered." Mr. C. direaly snapped the other pistol in the same diredion, but it mise4ed fire, upon - which he - fereed into the parlour, got out at one of the windows, and called fur assist-1 ance. The rubbers at the same moment _retreated through aback window, at which it appe3rs they entered, and unfortunately Mr. Corbet's friend, iii his confusion, got out among them, when, we are concerned to observe, he paid dearly for mil;- ing in b:d company, as the villains gave him a dreadful beating with their sticks aed b!udgeons. A large quantity of blood remained - in the wino, and msrked the track of their retreat, nor. could any appearanCe of the bullet, with which the 'lista was charged, be traced, so that the presumption re mains of its having been borne away in the body- of one of the villaies. ' Christ.' 1-te repeatedly exprei3ed, in lhe stretngeg manner, his sense of his okn-unworthines3 to ap pear in the presence of 'God ;- disclaitnibg all idras of merit ; but with a conscience evidently clear :nd undisturbed, he declared, that he was perfedly . resigned to the will of God; that he felt no enmity towards any one; but died in peace with all man, kind; and expressed his hope, at once humble and . confident, of eternal happiness,' through tire inter cession of his Redeemer.' ", Such was the close of this great man's life, and the beam of piety which emulated from him at it, conclusion, throws a lustre over his latter days not inferior to the brightness which had illuminated his political career. His greatness was consistent throughout; it was neither a deceptive nor a tran sient gleam ; 'but , its filme was uniformly steady, and cheering to its termination ; os his intellectual powers had through life commanded the wonder of tire universe ; so iris- meek resignation to the w ;1i of Providence, at the hour of deith, adixed the seal tti his worth, and perpetuated his fame. " Let us view the contrast : Mr. fox's latter days were relieved of their gloom by 'Mr. Trotter ; kind, compassionate Mr. Trotter who.read to him every night, until three or four o'clock in the morn ing, out of Johnson's Lives of the Poets.' Not a word about the mercy of God, nor the merits -61 Christ, nor yet about Mr. Fox's unworthiness and hope. These were topics very foreign, we fear-, to Mr. Fox's h4bi:s and disposition, and yet it does not appear to us that his entering upon them at this aw ful moment, wou:d have detracted very materially from his dignity. Mr. Trotter, seems indeed, to have been conscious of the impropriety of the oieis -sion; and, with his customary kindness, endeavours to supply the defect, by interlarding many very exceedingly pious, - exceedingly pathetic, and ex ceedingly pretty sentiments.' He looked unutter able things,' says he, ‘.there was .the pious resig nation of the Chris' ian, who fearlessly abandons his fleeting spirit to a merciful Deity, visibly through out the day : the unbeliever, who came to scoff' must have remained to pray.' It. is very far from our intention to scoff' at the dying ruoments of any man ; and, indeed, we are quite at a loss to discover where this particular species of unbelievers is to be Found ; we never recollect to have read or heard .of men who came at such a time to scoff, and we do think that Mr. Trotter has thrown this un merited imputation on the hum in race, merely to give himself the opportunity to make a quotation from Goldsmith. " Seeing, however, that nothing a-kin to religion was heard from Mr. Fox, in this solemn moment, We cannot refrain from congratulating the friends of that Gentleman, that Mr. Trotter read so much religion in his look ; it certainly must have been highly consolatory ; and we will only add our hope, that all the persons who stood round The •Led de rived equal knowkage and comfort from this speak ing glance. Mr. Trotter, indeed, seems to have thought a good deal of God about this time, for this thing reminded him of that Being, - and thM thing did the same ; and, in this part of his book, the name of God k introduced sevetal limes in every page:• This is a strong mark of Mr. Trotter's piety. " Remark upon the difference in the latter days of these rival pbliticians rs altogethrr sopertilons. The facts speak in the most nervhs langnage, the superiority of that mind which, with one firmness, met the tempests of life and the arrow of death -- We are not disposed to carry the contrast to an in ► idiom extreme : we are not anxious again to dis turb the sacred gileoce - of the 'told); and if Mr. Trotter will not persist in his plan of obtruding upon the public still More nauseous draughts of his mix tures, more dreadful than digitalis, we shall most readily bid the manes of Mr. Fox farewell, with a wish that party kindness nor party entni , y may cause his dust any turf her disquietude.
