After the public, by reiterated acclamations, had
expressed their approbation of their former reprefenta^
tive, and the popular tumult had in some degree fub~
sided, George Byng, esquire, member for Middlesex,
spoke for a considerable time, in recommendation of
the abilities and integrity of the gentleman, who, on
the present occasion, solicited the fuffrages of the elec,
tors of the city of Weflminfler, whom, he assured his
auditors, was deeply penetrated with gratitude, for the
honours they had already conferred on him Mr. Fox
followed Mr. Byng, and in that more than Ciceronian
oratory, for which the new secretary of state is so
eminently distinguished, he assured the eledors that he
would, with unremitting assiduity, pursue that “ open,
that liberal, that patriotic line of conduct, to whicii
he was impelled by the virtuous ambition of refeying
his native country from threatened deftruftion.”
This was the substance of the speech of Mr. fecreta^
ry Fox, who was congratulated by loud and long-,
continued shouts of applause. No opposition beirg
made, at a quarter after one Mr. Fox was declare!
duly elected.
AT half pafl ten the procession, in which were a
bout 109 gentlemens and 50 hackney coaches, set out
from the King's-arms, Palace-yard, amidst the accla
mations of a great concourse of people. The carriages
passed through Pall-mall, St. James-fireet, Dover
ftreet and Albemarle-ftreet to Gaston-street, where
Mr. Fox (who was dressed in black breeches, a white
waistcoat and a plain blue coat) entered his carriage,
and being preceded by an excellent band of music, was
driven to Piccadilly, down St. James-fireet, Pall-mall,
the Strand, and through Southampton-street to the
Huttings in Covent-garden, where he was cordially re^
ceived by his friend, Mr. Burke.
Lady Spencer and her daughter, the dutchefs of
Devonshire, with many other distinguished personages
of both Sexes, were on the huflings during the time of
election. At half past one Mr. Fox was chaired, hi&
vehicle being decorated with myrtle and laurel, and
being preceded by men carrying caps of liberty, flags
and other enable s. Such perfe& unanimity and (a*
tisfadion seemed to reign in the breasts of the people
that no popular tumults were to be apprehended,'
PARI S, January 26.
MLe marquis de la Fayette, and M.Je vicom
te de Noailles, arrived on Monday lafl,attwa
o'clock in the afternoon, in this capital, at the
very time that the birth of the dauphin and the pre
sence of our august sovereign had produced in the peo
ple an excess es joy. In the midst of a feaft, where
the queen presided, a messenger announced to madame
de la Fayette, the arrivalof her huiband. How to peA
netrate the croud for to fly into his arms! where to
procure a carriage! for they had been all sent to the
extremities of Paris : the lively emotion and perplexity
that was pictured in the countenance of madame. The
Marquis was quickly perceived by the queen: as soon
as her majefly was informed of the cause of her distress,
her tender foul was touched ; she rose with that vivacity
and those graces which always accompany her, end
conduced madame la Fayette herfelf to the hotel de
Noailles. This new trait of the most engaging affa
bility, made an inexpressible impression on the hearts
of all. The feaft was deserted for to follow her majefc
ty's carriage. Every body was in a delirium of joy
and happiness. The young hero waited his fpeufe ip
on the cill of the door ; the moment in which he clasp
ed her in his arms; in which he recognized the august
hand that preferred her to him; in which he Law the
immense croud applauding his transports and partici
pating his joy: This single moment is far above all ex
pression, as it is preferable to every other recompence.
Can there exist a man who would not be touched ia
the heart at the reading of this melting feenel Is thefo
a French officer who would not be willing to brace %
thousand times fat gues, perils and death, for to enjoy
one moment as delicious ? M. Ie marquis de la Fay
ette paid his refpeßs the next day to the king; his
majefiy received him in the most difiinnuifhed manner.
The royal family, the nobility, in one word, the whole
court gave him the most flattering teflimonies of an u^
niverfa! efleem. He received the brevet of marechal
de camp of his majefly' sarmies, and the promise of
being promoted at the conclusion of the war, to the
rank that he then should have in the American troops.
This young lord failed from Boston on board the Alli
ance, an American frigate, and arrived at L'orient af
ter a pa ffage of 22 days. At his departure every
thing was tranquil, nothing having been attempted
since the capture of lord Cornwallis.
