bi eapposid inttpabie. One day we are told Irt
of triompb, that be fell asleep before dinner in con-
versation with theCn A last AM of the East India House.
No sooner is that fabrication eiploded , than another is
invented to supply its place ; and the rage expressed
against those who dotted the falsehoods, is little less
than the rage against Mr. Fox. To suppose him
better than the Opposition Prints chase to represent
him, is a crime, for which they will allow no
forgiveness, and it is always sure to provoke a fresh
attack. The following extraa, from the most mo-
derate of the Papers to which we allude, may afford
a specimen of their zeal and ingenuity to hunt out
proofs to shew that Mr. Fot's illness is as alarming
as they wish it to be :
" Our report of yesterday was, that Mr. Tea remained In
moth the same state as on the three parading days; that Lord
Lauderdale had an interview on Tuesday with she Right Hon,
Secretary, who received his Lordship in an elbow chair,
rapt up with pillows and cushions, In which situation be
now, for the Meet pad, takes his rest. We are happy,
however, to add, that when relieved from his lethargic
alleftion, hk spirits are very good, and he is capable
of being consulted on the most important affiiis
sof Sate;
though Mr. Pinckney, the American Pan iporentiuy , appoint
ed to adjust the malting +Penman between Great Britain and
thellnited Sates, has not yet been able to obtain an interview
of the Right Moo. loser au awe."
, We ask the writer of this extra& is it extraor-
dinary that a sick man should sit in an elbow chair,
staroundri with pillows? and whether it necessarily
follows, that Mr. Fox is incapable of business, be-
cause, at the close of a Session, and when Mr. Fox's
mind is occupied with an important correspondence
for a Negotiation for Peace, be has not also en-
tered upon the adjustment of our differences with
America I Mr. Fox, we repeat, is not incapable
of basins= ; it is notorious that be not only writes
the answers to we French dispatches, but also takes
the copies of them with his own hand.
