The Annual Diaper to celebrate the j Atitilvtt sary of the Birth-day of Mr. Fox, was held' Oh Thursday, at the Assembly Roonis' 'Norwich So great was- the anxiety of .the eutlemeti t'Cif the County and City to : be present on this:octa- - , sion, that -applications for tickets were made `se veral weeks .back, but as the Assembly Rooms could dine no morelhan 250 persons, the issue of tickets was restricted to that number : the con sequence- of which_ was, that upWards of one hundred Gentlemen who. wished to be present were excluded from the, din"n - er*. " Notwithstand ing the precautions taken -the Stewards and- Gentlemen of the -Committee to prevent an over flow, from fifteen to twenty Gentlemen were obliged to dine in the orchestra. Nis Royal Highness the Duke of.SUSSEX, who is on a visit at Holkham, being expected to attend the, din ner, several persons crowded forth to witness his arrival. At a quarter past three o'clock the ringing of the church bells announced that his Royal Highness .had- entered the city ; he pro ceeded immediately- to . the 'Bishop's. Palace, where he was to reside .during his stay in town. At half past-four o'clock the Duke of NORFOLK and the EarL of ALBEMAIILE entered the dining room, and were received with loud and repeated cheering. Mr. COKE entered shortly after, and was greeted in a . similar ,manner. Soon after five o'clock, the Duke of Suss - Ex .made his, ap pearance, and was received with the' highest pos.., Bible demonstrations ,a respect ; every Ge.ntie-. man stood up and cheered ,as his Royal Highness passed to the upper end of the room.

Brown, Esq. &c. • The Earl of ALBEMARLE having taken the Chair, sup ported on the right by the Duke of Sussex and on the left by th e Duke of Norfolk, the party sat down to an excellent dinner. The cloth having been removed, " Non Nobis Domine" was sung. The EARL Of A.LBERMIRLE, in presenting him self to the company in which he had the pride, the honour, and the satisfaction of sitting as Chairman, observed, that in reading the accounts in the different newspapers of the various con vivial meetings which were held in the kingdoin, he remarked, thak:the Chairman had . getstraPy a certain quantity of cut and dried sentences with which to commence the business of Cie even ing ; he generally began by expatiating on the diffidence which he felt in filling the situation of Chairman, when he saw many around hilit so much more capable to perform the duties of the situation than himself.—For his own part he meant to make no such apologies, nor to trust to set phrases. He had the arrogance to take the station, and he would endeavour to perform its duties to the utmost of his ability ; not that he was not aware of his own inadequacy, not that he was not aware that his excellent and much respected friend, Air. Coke, from the situation he held in the county, ought to be placed in the Chair he had the honour of occupying ; but when he reflected on the obje'ct of the assembly, the name of him whose birth they were celebrating, and the prinCiples it was convened to support and enforce, his pride was so gratified, the warmest feelings of his heart were so called into motion, as completely to get the better of his prudence, and to make him forget his inadequacy —indeed it made him forget all except one thing; and that was—whatever might be his lot, what ever might be his station, he could never forget the kindness and attention with which he had ever been received by assemblies like the present —a kindness which had never yet failed him, and he trusted would not do so now. In pre senting himself for the fourth time as Chairman, he felt that he was subject to advantages and disadvantages ; amongst the former he would mention, that he had not now to consider how far the indulgence of the meeting might be ex tended towards him. , He knew that little de pended on the Chairman—it was with the meet ing alone that the pleasure of the evening rested. Gentlemen came there to be 'Pleased —they had met again, where they had sCr often met before, on sound, liberal, and constitutional principles, and he doubted not good fellowship would follow. Amongst the disadvantages under which he laboured might be numbered that, filling the situation which he did for'the fourth time, it was natural to consider that - nothing new could be elicited—no new observations could fall from the Chairman. He had, therefore, no other course to pursue than to go on in the old beaten track. The Noble Earl remembered a Prelate, he believed a Right Rev. Prelate, who once wrote and pub lished a volume of poeMs ;—unfortunately, the world did not think very highly of this volume : the Right Rev. Prelate was, however, quite of a different opinion, and so satisfied was he with himself—so pleased with his own performance—that he determined to indulge the world with a second volume, which he en titled " Imitations of myself."—(A laugh.)— The Noble Earl was afraid he was reduced to ' much the same situation, and should be obliged ' to give vapid imitations of himself. Ile - must ' continue in the beaten track, and he thought it probable the meeting did not wish he should get oat ot it. If on a former occasion he had to ex press his pride, satisfaction, and delight, at see ing an Member of the Hrmse of Brans wick—(Loud and contirmed applauie)--preseiit at the meeting—one who had ever been mindful of the principles ,which seated his family on the. Throne of these realms—,-an illustrious citizen of Norwich ;—if on .a former occasion he had stated all this, he could now, do no more. His Royal Highness had been provokingly steady_ in his principles and conduct, and had given him no scope for fresh observation. The Noble Earl had the same complaint to make of the heredi tary Earl Marshal of England, the head of the Nobility of the kingdom ; hut great.and highly exalted as he was in station, he was still the, firm friend of the rights and privileges of, the people —(Applause)—and might he not state all this now ? Again, what opportunity did his Honour able and respected Friend Mr. Coke give him for fresh observation ?- Had he done any thing new ? No; he had continued in the 'uniform and steady discharge of his duty, and always would continue so. If he (the Noble Chairman) had before expressed the happiness he felt_ in meeting such an assemblage of the rank; the talent, the worth, and the consideration of the county, what could he say now ? Ile had never seen a meeting attended so fully and respectably ,as the present. Again, if fie had before expressed his satisfaction at seeing such multitudes of , en lightened and respectable yeomen, he must now go a little out of the ,beaten track : he felt par n . Ocularly gratified at seeing them all again,3ls, lembled there, as high in spirit, though much lower in pocket. He felt the pressure of the times himself, and was hold to say there was no man in the room who did not. He knew not how others felt—but for his own part he felt the highest indignation against the authors of the ca lamities of the country. We were told that thanks were due to ". the Pilot , that weathered the storm." He had made a, slip ; he begged pardon—for he should have said the pilot who gathered the storm. It was to him, and to the wicked and accursed wars in which the country had been engaged through his means, we owed all the distress and calamity under which, the country suffered. But we were not to grum ble, because by these means we were. told the liberty of Europe . had been secured, the Constitution of the country had been preserved, and the liberties of the people secured—but, the Noble Chairman would ask, is Great Britain by these wars more respected abroad?. is she more happy at home ? is the , confidence in the Govern ment more securely established ? He would answer no. The only consequence of those wars was, the establishment of the Holy Alliance, the placing of Louis the Eighteenth on the Throne of France — Ferdinand on that of Spain. It was, in fact, the. triumph of legitimacy over the rights and liber ties of the people. This was what the pilot who gathered . the storm had done for us, and to him all the distresses and calamities of the country were to be attributed.—(Applause.)—lt was true thiS war had cost us much blood and trea sure, but what then? The article was cheap at the price which we had paidip l i; it. He would not trespass on the time of the meeting,by going into a contrast between the results of such mea sures and those which Mr. Fox would have pur sued had.his life been spared to the country. The system of Mr. Fox was that of. peace and tranquillity,' and the •fesults would 'have been to this country far different if that system had been pursued. But it was not only to the pilot who gathered the storm, but to the crew who succeeded him, that the country was indebted for its misfortunes and distresses. It was said that they were inferior in,talent and abilities. — He believed it might be so, for of late years talent had not by any means been a requisite for obtaining a situation in his Majesty's 'Councils ; but if by talent was meant ability to do mischief, they had it . with a vengeance. 'But when the. situation of the country,was looked to, it appear-. ed that the storm was now so completely gathered by the pilot and his crew, that scarce a-plank was left of the vessel. Still the Noble .Chairman hoped that the . people,would.weather the storm; and when he looked . . at Jhe, meeting assembled, he felt assured they , would not sla.ci<en'their ex ertions, but would unite and save the remnant of their liberties. But lieniust get back into his beaten track, and if on a former occasion he had to express his thanks for the foreign aid which was afforded, what could he say now, surrounded as he was by so many gentlemen of other counties ? He saw Mr.. Honey wood of Kent,Mr. Lerinard and Sir Wm. Middleton from Suffolk, and others who might not at that moment meet his eye. He should, however, as a good Chairman, exhibit his bill of fare, and in due time shew . Ahem all up, to the notice of the meeting. But the object for which they were met, , was to 'jay the trihuteor . respect ,to the immortal and illustrious memory of the late Mr. Fox, and to express their appro; bation of his public a'nd private virtues. - It would be unnecessary for hith to. take.up:the time of ,the meetino• a 1 dilating b-'on those virthes; every one knew them;. and, it would .Iter - eqttally ,unnecessary to contrast his principles with those which had brought this country to its.present up fortunate situation. In speaking, ho\vever, of 'the late Mr; Fox, he could not ',avoid paying just tribute of respect ,to the excellenee of his heart—the beautiful benevolence . of his mind, and the perfect and, upright consistency of his conduct. If others whq,now filled the satiation which he ought to have filled, had_: had the slightest spark of his benevolence, that blot on the character , of the country, the Mapehester massacre, would never have taken place, nor would the accursed six Acts to restrain the, liber ties of the country ever have been passed. If the slightest spark of his benevolence of mind had been felt, the abominable system of employ ing spies to entrap the people into the commis sion of offences, on which to ground the severity which was afterwards practised upon them ; .if his benevolence had been felt, that'oUtrageon .public decency and decorum, the proceeding's against the Queen, would never, haVe, taken place, nor the military murder which was, perpetrated ; at the last outrage which was, offered to her re mains. I.f they.liad.felt one spark of the. bene ; volence of Mr. Fox, ..they would have learned that Englishmen were more easily led titan driven, that kindness and affection, and attention to the wants and interests of the people, were more pOWerful weap - ons in - '. the ha;xls of Ministers Man the trOn, rod of.despotism ( -Cotild possibly be. They .would have found that, in the'words of the Poet, it would have lieeirfattetter, " I 9 wincing ways to conquer willing minds; An let. persuasion take the place of forte' (Great APPinuse).—We are a met, concluded the Noble Chairtnan f to,drink t . o the memory of the Right Hon: Charles - JAmes Fox ; recollect that we come not herd , tormop, or in , the words of my friend, Mr. John4ay:llhr, in his beautiful "Come to his tomb, but not to Weep, 'Tis yieedern's holiday we keep Here shall her sacred altar be, Tr , On which we vow to Liberty." " The Nemory.• of the Right Honourable Charles James Pox," was then ,drank in solemn silence. After which the Ode, " Come to his' tomb," was sung. • "The King and Constitution." The Noble.. Earl then rose and gave,:" The health of his. Royal Highness the Duke, of Sus sex." It -would have been a'rnatter of the highest gratification to him, to have dwelt on the public and private virtues of his Royal Highness. With respect to his public character, it had been proved, and required no obsrvation : it . was ,only necessary to be known tp be admired. As to, his private worth, the knowledge of that could be-.better obtained from ,he; _report of others thars-, from himself.. But Ite7(the Noble Earl), if the meeting would accept Aiis testimony, stood forward as a willing witness, to testify his know ledge,ofthe kindness , Of heart and benevolence of character of his Royal Highness. This was not flattery—it was truth. He would say it be fore the whole meeting, he-would say it before hisßoyal:Highness himself.—(Loud and conti nued, applause.) "' • HIS ROYAL lll6tsEss rose and said, he would follow the example of the Noble Chairman, in not wasting the time of the meeting by express ing at length his feelings of gratitude for the kind manner in which his health had been given and received. Acts spoke better than profes sions. The - kindness the Meeting had expressed for hint was reciprocal on his part—the cause and motives which brought them together were the same. Not having met the yeomanry of the county for two years, be embraced this opportu nity of expressing his satisfaction at the pro ceedings which had lately taken place. Ile had attentively considered those proceedings, and he assured, the meeting he had gone with them hand and heart throughout the whole. It was now two years since he attended a meeting, during which time many events had happened, creating a variety of feelings in his mind, and calculated to warm his heart. He had discovered that there was in Englishmen a disposition to do that in every instance which was right and "constitu tional. He had heard in Courts that truth was a libel; but he had never heard, and he:dared any man to state, that truth was treason. Nay he would go further, and say, that it was truth alone which could prevent treason. On looking back to the late wars, which for so long a time desolated Europe, it would become the province of the historian to consider why or wherefore those wars had arisen? If they arose from a desire to. defend the rights and liberties of the country, then were those wars just and necessary. ‘: It was the struggle for the preservation of those rights and liberties to which his Family was indebted for the high situation which it filled ; and any individual who attempted to draw it away from those principles was not its friend but its enemy, and also an enemy to the country. When the late war commenced, the icountry - was . told it was necessary for the preser .vation of our liberty. We had success. We united' with the Powers of the Continent—ad vances were made, but instead of seeking to enter into some compact for the benefit of the nations at war, it was aggrandizement which was sought. One step taken was to make the first spoliation of Poland, and when, in 1792, the French Revo lution broke out, and the power and consequence Of Monarchs were threatened, they conceived a second spoliation of Poland was necessary, and thus they began by obliterating froth among na tions one of the finest and bravest people of the earth ; and during all this time England stood by and shed not a tear. In - short, through the whole of the war the people had been forgotten, and a system of aggrandizement was all which Was followed. His Royal Highness would, how ever, be candid—he would own that the present Ministers bad given up, when peace was made, what others much wiser than themselves would have kept, and this folly told much against them. Then came the end of the war—we•found at last a Sovereign placed on the Throne of France, • 1 without any compact being entered into to secure the . liberties of the people—in fact, by the fiat 'of the united poWers. It was a war of bayonets, to put down public opinion — but it was to no purpOse ; the blood which - was shed would give birth' to new people, Who would' rise to de fend their liberties. After all,this was a Consti tution conjured up, and' 'crammed down the throati Of a whole nation, which a single indivi :dttar'OVerthrew by hAding up his finger, and ,pdopr Legitimacy marched off with much more ra pidity than she had advanced.,, After this came -the glorious battle of Waterloo glorious it was as respected , the character:4 the nation, and glo .rious -.had it been if it bad'roved productive of public 'good. But had the public felicity been, increased by it ? When the number of lives which had been lost were considered, the enor mous .expense which had . been incurred—when we saw ourselves worse off, and the Continent .enslaved instead of being made free, it could not be look'd upon otherwise than as a melancholy event. These were not times to mince matters — plain truth must be spoken, and :when he saw such institutions as the Holy Alliauee,his heart misgave hint,' and he should be ashamed of any one who could entertain such a measure In fotc skier times, when nations were in distress, we -11 It is proper to state that the Mr. JOHN.TANLOR, whose Poem is cited in this place, is not a..Proprietor,of .Txt Suw of the same name, whose polith2l . Principles are totally ferent, and who has for very many years made an animal tribute to the PITT CLUB, in honour of :that Illustrious Statesman to whom this Country is indebted for its own security, and for that national importance which enabled it to accomplish the deliverance of Europe, were the first to go to their assistance and offer What was the case now ? Au 'English- retie:. man then could go any where he pleased,aa for wkiat inirpose he pleased ;..now. he was.obliged. first to. obtai4a passport from the Minister of the country tai, -which he was going This was: one. of the consequences of the treaties Which 'had been 'made at the Conclusion , `Or the war, in which a Noble Duke had so- leading. a hand a great man in thBfieldi butt who j” A States , - man.had acted most unfortunately tor ihe liber.; ties of the country: "We had 'Seen I:System of employing spies, but did such measures originate here ? No ; it originated.with, the HQ~g, Alliance: .There was one circumstance on whiCh lie would make an. observation, he ;Meant the beautiful. Bridge-street Society—he did not mean to be foul-mouthed towards that Society or its respect.; able solicitor ; but that gentleman was also Honorary Treasurer to the Society for the relief of Foreigners in distress, and he did not doubt but that he had in that capacity an opportunity of gaining the ebr of foreign Ministers, and there , by supporting the endeavours and objects of the Holy Alliance. From . such Holy Alliance the Lord deliver as—the intention was to' establish a system of terrorism; but the people were not to be terrified. Ills Royal HighnesS then pro ceeded to remark on what he termed that most voidable Paper, JiAn Bitll-L-4. 'Most MisChievotts . . and dangerous implement of desp otic power ; well had his friend Mr. Den Man remarked, that if Rich a.,weapon were wielded against a.Govern ment, it could not stand. If, then, a Government could not resist such a weapon, what must be the fate of a. private individual against Whom it was directed-2 ,was a complete 'inquisition.-- What feeling must a man, who was a brother or a husband, have, if, when he was about to dis charge a public duty, he received an anonymous letter directing him to take care of what he was about—if -he proceeded too far, his wife or his sister would be made the subject of some per sonal and scurrilous attack ? This'WOs a com plete disorganization of society; and why was all this done but to prevent the truth from coming out ? If John Bull can be content to sit over his tea-table, shrug up his shoulders at the hard ness of the times, and say nothing at all, all would be well ; but because honest men would speak, such measures were resorted to, to pre vent them. In his opinion, and he would speak it plainly and fairly, all the difficulties under which the country. laboured consisted in taxa tion, a great and overivheltnincr taxation ; it was a general and a crying evil. It. had been shewn how it originated, and .the.system employed to keep it up was to divide the parties, by which manoeuvre Ministers retained their power and in fluence. This system plunged . the country into confusion, and it could not.,emerge from its diffi culties. There was but one remedy—a• long pull, .a strong pull, and a pull 'altogether; se move the cause,. and you take away the effect. The good old English maxim, that every man must cut his coat according to his clOth, might be applied with effect ; if the establishment cannot be ,kept up, the expenditure must be reduced. But unless some strong resolutions to that effect were passed, and supported by the people, the establishment would be referred to some such beautiful Committee of Finance as they had lately seen, in the formation of which about _two Membgrs out of 28 - would_ be anti-Mi nisterial. He would give his opinion openly : He thought, that unless a real, rational, and Constitutional Reform in Parliament. were effect ed, nothing could be done.—(Great applause.) — He stated this fairly here, as he had formerly done in the House of Lords; and adverting to what had passed on that occasion, he could not help regretting, that he saw the party with which he was in the habit of acting shackled by, persons who pretended, to co-operate with them, but who, in fact, clidnot belong to them. Having said so much with respect , to the party to which he alluded, he had,., only to ob serve, that when a Noble Lord charged him and others who advocated Reformi with.being Jaco bins, he answered, that he was .not a Jacobin, and that when the question came fairly. before the House, he. would let his. Lordship see whe ther he was so or ..not.—(Applause.)—He con cluded by returning his cordial which to the meeting, for the high compliment which they had paid to him.—His Royal Highness's speech was received throughout with very great-applause and attention, and he sat down amidst,loud expres sions of respect and approbation, : which lasted a very considerable time. The CHAIRMAN then gave—, " The Respectability of the - Crown, the Durability of the Constitution, and the Prosperity of the People." " The Cause for which Hampden bled on the field, and Sydney and Russell on the scaffold." The Earl of 'ALBEMAItLi said, that when on a former occasion hi had 'had the' satisfaction of meeting the present company,: he had asserted that no man possessed so despotic an authority as the Chairman of a Society like the present; and this despotic power consisted in the unbribed ex ercise of prosing and boring' the' company upon any - subject he pleased to introduce, with no othei limit; than his oWnarbitrarY ; he shou Id now. rn4e Use. of that, power. At a late County Meeting, where many of the. Gentlemen now in the room were present , and seyeral others who perhaps . were not so much interested, but who must:nevertheless excuse this digression, it was generally admitted that The present distress . was universal, and that .it , proceeded from an over whelming taxation, not.ouly affecting the people directly,. but through indirect channels. It was shewn that this, taxation could only be lessened by an immediate and ,general reduc tion in the expenditure of the State, which could not be efficient without , a Reform in the Representation of the People. Those were the grounds upon which this question was argued. His Lordship begged 'to apologize both on his own part and in the name of Mr. Coke, to his friend Mr. Watson, and to the Gentlemen wha drew up. the Resolutions, for the accidental mis take which he had occasione:d,by. moving a Re solution, which was the sortie as That which had been previously propoied by,those. Gentlemen. He could assure those Gentlemen , of the satis faction both Mr. Coke ,and himself felt at ' the manner. in which the yeomanry had come
