The Mod. Lawarsua Dneucs (Inn proposed thesis.-
miry of gr. Fox, le the following terms:—" I am now
curse to ooe of our taws which I am sure you will receive
with that warmth of feeling which the recollection of the
mysterious dead cannot fail to excite—of that truly eminent
statesman sad real patriot, whose transcendent virtues,
splendid talents, and diffusive hentrti'ilite, will fluid the
brat eulogist in the heart of every individual that hears me.
It cannot be expected that I should go into a field so exten-
sive as a detail of the public life of Mr. Fox, and I am am-
swimss that there are others much more capable of delineat-
ing his character, than I feel myself' to hr; hut this I will
say, Geutlemen, that through a life not very short, having
now reached my grand climacteric, It has been my honest
endeavour to tread in the footeteire, and invariably to ad-
litre to the political principles P4l ably advocated, and io
, ciriedstently acted upon, by, (shades Jams-II Fox--,..1ja.
p/ortee.)-1 saw, or at least I thought I saw, in those prince-
plea, wad its bin virtues and talents, by which limy *tete en-
furred, the best means of promoting the happiness aril pros-
!tartly of this country; and I ant convinced, that had Ins
conned' been followed, the country would have avoided
those daugersi and. rhose embarrassments, which have re-
sulted from following counsels of 'a very &Guist stature.
{them I first knew Mr. Fox, if I may fit said In know that
of which my memory does not very irertz:ctly serve use, be
was (what was very rare ill him) a pliv.entan, he had a situ-
ation in the then adinmistration; but crest then, when
seated on the Treasury Bench, he had the virtue and the
patriotism boldly to oppose those measures of the Ministry
which be thought injurious to the welfare of his country;
thus, in early life, affordiug a strileisix, instance of that stn.
beading integrity for which he has been so illustrioes, mid
of that regard to the liberties of his country, and anxiety
for the general happiness of mankinil—for his patriotism
was so narrow contracted principle, which rendered him the
enemy of any-other peqple. Mr Fox, thiridg a long poli-
tical life, abounding with the frost itionieutotis events, pre-
senting scenes the most alarming, never swerved a moment
from his adherence to those just soil conslitutioual princi-
ples which be hail adopted in early lute as the lasi' of his
conduct, Sail .iii the most trying and critical periods, wheo
minds Ices firm than his wire intsmidato d into a temporaq
shasidonnient of freedom, he remained tantnoveil—neither
the influence of a powerful adininistri.teon, the example of
SOW of his former political frienilo, the blandishments of
a Court, or its frown or neglect. could ambler bins fo
swerve its the smallest degree from !how prineiples on which
alone, as he couceived, the government of the country
could be administered. Heaven shine knows what reels

niight have been averted if his counsels had been ;wird
upon:—We know the evils which have resulted from follow-
ing very different counsels.
" Gentlemen, I cannot hot consider the r?spectability
and numbers of the persons who are assembled round me on
such an occasion, especially on so short a notice, less than
one short week, as highly houourable to the City, nay even
to the County of York. It ishews !hitt there is still in ilus
Comity a spirit of inaependesece—that the principles of
sound constitutional freedom are still deal to Eiiglisliniett
we do nut meet to testify our gratitode fur pares and peis-

country was so highly indebted, and Is manifest our attach-
want to those glorious principles, which were, if I may so
speak, the soul which at o i 000 lied his political life, slid co-
/wetted the whole of his conduct ; and I am coiiiiiired, that
an long as Englishmen deserve the name of Englishmen, so
lung will his memory live in their hearts, and his priuciples
inintoce their political conduct.

such an occasion, on so interesting a subject, it would be
doing violeoce to my tidings to say less. It was not the
good fortune of 3lr. Fox, or I should rather say, it was not
the good fortune of Mr. Foes country, to h ice all that he-
m fit front his peat talents which lln y sure capable of
affording. Bat if the age in which hr lived did nut profit,
as might be wished, from Iris r(111111•VIN, his labours, and his
exertions, let us hope that the recollection of them may still
be of service, and produce those good fruits which he did
not live to witness.
