SUNDAY', JANUARY ;a.

We this day give, we believe, a fal!cr and more
correct account of the Fox Dinner than can be
found in any other Newspaper, and arc in cooC-
quence under the necessity of curtailing our uslal
Articles. Napoleon in addres,ing his army after
the Battle of Austerlitz, told them that any one of
them after having listened to the recital of a life of
heroic actitn:s might exclaim as an equivalent to
them all ‘• I NV:ni at the battle of A ast,:rlitz.' so
might any one who was present on Mon.lay lust
meet a relation of pleasurable occurrences of a
series of years by exclaiming I was at the se-
cond of Charles James Fox, at
Norwich." The great ability of the worthy
and noble Chairman, Lord Albemarl., never shone
more brilliantly ; and in all the times we have seen

It is a curious fact that two C;overnment Nies-
es-tigers passed through Norwich, at an early hour
on Tuesday morning last, with dispatches to Lord
Castlereagh and to the Eurl of Chatham, announcing.
to them the death of his Royal Highness the Duke
of Kent, a: the same time conveyed to the latter
his appointment as Governor of Gibraltar, which
took place but a few houri after the news arrit•edi
of tlie unexpected vacancy ; and that in complete
indifference to the retrenchment of an office tv1.:,!1

loyal I lightness tl.e. Duke of Sussex was in Norwich
at the time, but he was :eft to come at the know-

American Papers to the 16th of December have
been received. They contain the documents laid
before Congress at the time of the delivery of tF
President's message. The proceedings in Congress
are brought down by these papers to the 10th ult.
On the Sth a resolution passed both Houses, lhr the'
admission of the State of Alabama into the Union :Is
an imlependent Lute. Select committees were up-
pointed on the subjects of organizing and disciplin.
ing the militia, and of improving the Indian tribes
in the arts of civilized life. A debate took place on
the question of separating the affairs of comments
and manufactures, lasetofore regulated by one cont•
mittee, into two distinct committees, it being
contended that both. were subjects of the highest
importance to the Union, and their interests fre-
quently at variance. This opinion was strongly
opposed by Mr. Newton, of Virginia ; but the

the Government in furnishing the necessary sup-

was agreed to, without debate or opposition, imply-
ing some distrust in the Executive Power, with
regard to their disposal of the public money. It Wall
for the appointment of a committee to enquire
