GEORGE the THEM, his COURT, anti FANULT.-2 litA9 The important political events which have crowded on us from day to day during the past month, have hitherto precluded us from noticing this ‘Vork on a subject so interesting to the feel ings of every loyal Briton ; nor will our even at the present moment, permit us to offer that critical notice of it which it deserves. We must, therefore, allow it to speak for itself in the few extracts here selected, rather illustrative of its political tendency than of absolute Biographi- cal Anecdote. The Author, though evidently a PITT/TB, seems ts) have united much political candour with his political sentiments, and sedulously ro have avoided whatever might hurt the feelings of loyal readers, whatever their Party, in this Land of free political opinion ; and even of our immortal Mi nister himself he says little beyond what may serve to excite a recollection of his virtues- in the breasts of those who follow his footsteps, and to which no liberal partizan of Opposition can refuse assent " The death of Mr. Pitt in ISM was a most remarkable event in that year. To expatiate on ' his character whom all must remember, is unne cessary, especially as the strains of panegyric and of invective which were heard in every quarter, served as proofs in attesting that no common cha racter bad left the world. " TO avoid both these extremes, it will be suf ficient to observe, that almost all parties agreed that his accessibility and industry as a MiniSter were unequalled : that his eye was ever vigilant . for the public interest ; that he was incessant in the labours and, duties of his office ; that 'his per sonal administration was free from the least taint of corruption; whilst his poverty, instead of re sulting from culpable remissness or profusion, was regally an.eviance that he sought not for power as au instrument of pecuniary emolument." To Mr. Fox's memory, our Author seems disposed to he as liberal as a sense, of proptiety end polities! truth will admit. Speaking of that Statesman, after the breaking up or the tremorablr ,Coalition, he observes, that " the length of -time daring which Mr. Fox continued out of office, 'after ibis, has been, by his friends, considered as exclusice, which it certainly was during the early and middle parts of the, French Revolution ; and it is impossible not to regret that any cause should, have existed to keep such a man from power and place. One of his warm admirers says, that if energy of mind, enlargement of views, firmness of character, amenity of manners, acquaintance with foreign Courts and languages, facility in conducting business; and prodigious intellectual powers, combining eloquence, application, and discernment—if these endowments can .he consi dered as forming an incontestable claim to public employment, unsustained by moral qualities, or by property,' then the sentence of exclusion against bins must be condemned ; though it would require no justification 'in the eyes of those who consider all talent, however eminent, as radically defective, unless sustained by decorum, and a regard for opinion ;' as well as of all who pre fer sobriety of cnntluct, regularity of deportment, and the virtues of private life, above any. ability which Nature can bestow on man ;' lastly, all who regard judgment, under the control of strict principle, as the most indispensable requi site of a Minister, to whom the public honour and felicity are in some measure necessarily entrusted.' —Of the propriety of these remarks our Readers will.judge; in biography we must have tau party feeling, if possible ; but it is pleasing to reflect (and here we may slightly anticipate events), that 'Mr. Fox, as be advanced in life, was rapidly cur ing himself 'of his faults and foibles as a mar) ;. and that, although when in power a peace with France museheve been with him a point of the high est interest, both as a 'party man and a Ministet ; and although there 'May have been jnst ,canse to censure, and even to - smile at the Mode atitl,',Man ner in which negotiations were first bronglikon, yet throughout the Whole of that important. pe riod, even whilst displaying the sincerest dcsire . for pacification,' did he manifest a sturdy, honest sense of national dignity, uniting diplomatic conci liation with the plain unsophisticated firmness of - an Englishman, anxious for the honour and wel fare of his country. If We differed from him in political opinion,' it is doubly gratifying to snatch this opportunity of anticipating that just praise which he will be seen to merit in the following sheets." In detailing the contests on the unhappy Royal illness in 1788, our. Author is equally delicate to the subject of his biography, and to the leaders and partizans in the political warfare of that day.— Avoiding unnecessary details, be rentatks— " But over this let us draw the veil—to relate the thousand anecdotes connected with it would only be to open a scene of human humiliation, distressing to the heart, and unnecessary to the objects otthe present work. "Tor is it even necessary to expatiate upon the hopes and fears of the nation respecting his ultimate tecovety ; the political interregnum which ensued ; the hopes of the outs, or the ex ertions of the ins ; the reAlly Whig ptincipletland practice of Mr.. Pitt, in looking to the hereditary Legislature . and the . .. Representatives tht pea- [PRICE SEVENPENCF, :or power to nniniitate HA to regulate a Re gency ; nor the really Tory principleN of Mr. , Pox and his party, who seemed disposer! even to re vive the divine indefeasible hereditary right of the preceding century, " The,e events form a 'nest important feature in the history of Britain ; but to general history we must leave them, as the recovery of the King early in the ensuing year rendered it unnecessary then to put into practice those u tiunal principles which have since been acted upon; it; spitc , of the clamours of fiction, and to au extent which has strengthened the Constitution itielf,, without derogating from the sovereign antoority, or giving an undue weight to the influence otthe people." After some further remarks, he very judiciously adds , -;-" The part taken by her Majesty in the conflict was imposed upon her by the necessity of the circumstances in which , she viol placed ; and had she acted any ~ o tirerwise tira'n she did, bkr name would not have - passed - :'down in history without reflections on the versatility of the hu man mind. Time has set an, iumutabie stamp upon her conduct;; and though the servile wor shippers of the rising sun endeavoured to justify their own inconsistency and apostacy at her ex pellee, we know that the principle on which she proceeded has long since beets regarded with ad miration in that very,guarter where 1 - action es sayed to create mistrust; and perpetuate cold ness." In subsequent reference to the Regency ques tion in 1810, the Author 'enters inure at length, both into the grand Constitutional Principles con nected with it, and into the warfare of Opposi tion. He observes, that Parliament was adjourn ed in November, for a fortnight, on the " prin ciple of deference to the' judgment of the physi cians, as well as delicacy towards the S:overrigo,, before any attempt should be made to supply the deficiency of the Executive. " This was the .opinion of the Heir-apparent, whose filial affection was not to be warped, by party.; and it was also the declared opinion of those who were known by the name of ..his friends.' Pte nation at large also highly ap proved of this cautious delicacy; !bough unhap pity dating the progress of this adjournment, his Alaissty's disorder, instead of relaxing in its strength, or assuming a more favourable aspect, put on the appearance of more obstinacy, and threatened to be of long continuance. " It is for the gener74 historian of this period to examine the principles mhintained by the tvvo contending parties ; the one insisting that the Heir-apparent become Regent de facto, and was so even previous to any regulations analogous to the Coronation Oath ; the other insisting, that the choice'ofa Regent,though it was now expedient that that Regent should be the Heir apparent, rested with Parliament, whose duty it was to make such arrangements as the case required; and to esta blish such securities for the Constitutional Go vernment, for the safety of the Royal Persun, and a CUM to power in case of a return to health-, as m i g ht b e found proper : though more as a-pre cedent for future times, than as absolutely ne cessary from the personal character of the suc cessor. Such were the broad . constitutional features of the contest but there were others connected t‘ith party, which may be briefly mentioned. The Whigs, certain of coming into power and place, were anxious for an unrestricted Regency, because that would have been followed by an unrestricted Ministry; by places for life and in reversion ; by peerages ;.and, in short, by an unlimited enjoyment, of the loaves and fishes; an enjoyment evidently. much coveted by that strange anomalous. mixture of old Tories, of old and new Whigs;. of Broad. Bottoms, and of Prince's Friends.' The Tories, as they were called, though in reality there seems to have been a strange misnomer b.ttween the two parties, both in ptinciple and io practice, wet e on the other head naturally anxious, even beyond mere Con stitutional 'prop' iet y, to prevent their opponents front fixing themselves too - strongly in their new seats, being weld aware, that illeft merely to the breadth of their own bottom they would soon top ple and tall from their places• " We need not expatiate here upon the cal events, immediately subsequent, up to tho early part of 1811,; upon the disputes amongst the ‘Vhigs for pre•emlnence between the Grey and Grenville parties; upon the judicious con duct of the Regent in retaining his father's Mini sters, .because they were the Ministers of that father, a measure so pleasing to the great ma jority of the people of the United Empire; it. is sufficient to record the political arrangements which related more especially to the Royal Per sionage, whose afflictions were the cause of State measures hitherto without a precedent in the Ms. tory of the Realm." • (To be Continued.) • THE STATE PRISONERS.. The Commissioners appointer} under the Spe cial Commission to try the State Prisoners will proceed ,on Saturday to the Sessions-house, in Clekkenweli, for the purpose of ..adjourning the Court, (which, it will be recollected, when it l as t met, was appointed to re•assemble on the 15th inst.) to a future day. Their Lordships will then go on to the Sessions-house in the Old Bai ley, where the eleven prisoners against whom bills of indictment have been found for high treason-will be arraigned. After their pleas have been received, the next step will be to ask them, whet4ter they will cqnjoin in their challenges . of the Jury, or challenge separately ? If they agree to challenge collectively, which is ex tremely improbable, they will be tried to gether but, if they persist in their right to challenge separately, then they will take their trials in succession, and Arthur Thistlewood will. he first put to the bar. The Commission will be adjourned from Saturday till Monday morning, when the trials will commence. Atkins (a witness for the Crown), Symowds, Geor g e, H a n, and Firth, against whom no bills of indictment have been found, will remain in custody till the Grand Jury shall be discharged. Firth, who was stated to be seriously indisposed, in consequence of the alarm which be felt from the situation in which he was placed, has, since the bill against hint was ignored by the Grand Jury, recovered his health, and is now in a state of convalescence. The whole of the prisoners live very conitertably, and, with the exception of the restraint upon their liberty, admit that they have nut the slightest reason to complain. • SOCIETY FOR PROPWATING CHRISTIAN KNOW. LEDGE IN THE HIGHLANDS or SCOTLAND. Yesterday clic Anniversary of this Institution was celebrated at the Albion Tavern, Aidersgatc- street. At about a quarter past six, his Royal Highness the Duke of Sustiak, the Lord Mayor, Sir Wm. Grant and others entered the room, when about 1.50 Gentlemen sat down to an excelleot dinner— his Royal Highness in the Chair. After the cloth was removed, Non Nobis Domine was sling by Messrs: Broadhurst; Taylor and others. The fol lowing toasts succeeded, and were severally drank with three times re e :—."The King, God bless him"--'1 The Royal Family"- 4 4 The Duke of York and the Army".---" The Duke of Clarence and the Navy." The Duke of Sussex then rose to propose to the Assembly the memory of an illustrious depart ed relative of his, who, he had no doubt, had himself to them by his exertions in sup port of that institution. However much he might doubt his ability to equal that illustrious personage, he assured them that his best exer tions mould be used to give effect to its 4ject. To prove his sincerity, lie had, in imitation of Iris illustrious predecessor, endeavoured to atake himself master of the subject. His Royal High ness then entered into a review of the plan and nature of the Society, and concluded,. a ft e r recom mending it to the support of the Assembly, by giving--" The Memory of the Duke of Kent" — which was drank in silence. The thanks of`the Meeting were given to she Clergy of the Sark of Scotland.—Dr. WFARLANE returned thanks. The bealtbs of the Lord Mayor and, Sir Wm. Grant were next proposed, and drank with three tinres three, when the latter Gentlemen returned thanks. The Corporation of the City of London fol lowed; the Loeb MAYOR returned thanks . . 00 the health of •the Treasurer and Secretaries being given, the limner, in returning thanks, observed, that he had the pleasure to inform the Meeting, that the coutribotiont of the London subscription last year amounted to tv,:o hundred and fifty pounds, and he had great hopes that the present would produce a greater sum.-- Ele read over the names of the subscribers, amongst which were, the Duke of Bedford, 20 guineas ; George Watson Taylor, Esq. 10 guineas; Mrs. Watson Taylor, 10 guineas ; the Earl of Bredalbane, 10 guineas ; Sir Wm. Grant, three guineas annually, and a donation of five guineas; the Lard Mayor, 10 guineas. The announcement of the subscription was re ceived with loud and continued applause. J.• Thomson, Esq. the Secretary, delivered an eloquent enlogium on the late Duke of Kent, and expressed the high sense entertained by the Society of the advantages that would be derived from the auspicious patronage of their present illustrious Chapman: lie returned . thanks an behalf of the .Society to the Lord Mayor, sir %V. Grant, and the Vice•Piesident, whose exertions were highly*ap precutted. • The health of the Doke of Sussex was drank amidst the loudest applause. The everting was praised in the utmost hatmony. ---..- ----, , ,1., , ,7;• ----',.1 :::• - ''':/: - - ;_= -2 .>"...:• 'l,`• :- ~t "VI ( .. ..1.., - „;.,.,.._ .::;,,,.* , s , ~ • , • • ..,,e A.; „„,,' ~ ' • - r';'"' -../ 1;2 -- ,'(*:•.--- -:‘ _ :-_,- .;_p. , ,. .
