MR. ET.ITOR,

As the Opposition Writers so severely arr ign the.
Prince Regent, for bating, as they say,. fors:4,ken the
uoliticat principles of Mr. Fox, and as the late
home Tooke was one of their great favourites, it is
to
_be hoped that in the life of that Gentleman,
which, according to report, is to be given to the •
pubtic, his memorable parallel between the dial-ac•
ter and conduct of Mr. Pitt and Mr. Fox wiLl be
introduced. Mr. Tooke, indeed changed his opi-
nions in the '° latter" part of his life; bat as this'
memotable piaallel Was written in the vigour of his,
g,..0.11-Is, and at a time when he 'had no immediate
interest-to promote, it may be consilered as ohe ofd
the,mo:f* important of his labours. His prlilologicai,
works may indeed improve our knowledge of fang'
gunge; I.mt his matured .decision as to the characters.,
of the great livid statesmen, may tend settle thd:o
opinion of posterity, not merely as to their respectiv4
merits, but as to those imPort ant principles of policYl
upon which.depend the happiness and security at'i
the British Ern ire: •
