Mr. Fox, it. was seen on the first day of the
Session of Parliament *as decidedly in opposi.
tion to the Minister: Mr. Sti SUDAN'S Allgotia.
tion has proved ftUitless to bring him over to the
side of Ministry, and that Gentleman himself is
thereby placed in an aukward predicament., He is
pledged to support Mr. ADDINGTON, and he is
solemnly pledged not to desert Mr. Fox,-,—Can a
middle way be found to redetin both pledges •---We -
should think not ; but it is said that Mr. So a at.
DAN means to defend Mr. At:rum:Tors against Mr.
PITT, nvhen No. Pox ;$ not t•etctiti hut always to
side with his old Friends when Mr. Fox is in the
House. He will find himself as Much puzzled as
M. ADD] NnION footed hiMself last year between
" his old Friends and new Allies."—We think bet.
ter however of !slr. Streit t OAN than 'to Oppose he
will follow the Minister's example—he will hardly,
for his new Allies, discard his old Friends, unless
he shall become inoculated by the Minister with
a love of place, which it is proved, at once txtin.
guishes consistency and principle.
At flytiionth on Monday night it blew a most
tremendous gale of wind at S. W. accompanied
by the most loud and dreadful peals of thunder
and vivid lightning experienced there for many
years, the sea in the Sound ran mountains high,
and the bail and rain incessant. At three a. in.
on Tuesday the gale incteaSed, „to a hurricane,
and the thunder and lighdrings awfully grand ; the
Ships in the Sound draggek and firei several -guirr
of distress, but the grounttbeing good they weather-
ed it ; at one period the lightning, was so quick and
vivid that the' whole of Mount Edgecuirare appeared
as if on fire. At 7a. m. the wind veered round
more to the westward, rind the weather became more
moderate; the Men of War rode it out without
damage, only a Sloop was wrecked, all kinds saved,
off theCobler's.Reach, but she-was towed alongside
the Pier Heads, which contributes by their con .
struftion much to the safety of the numerous ship.

Piiitofi OP LANDAFF.

This venerable Prelate has just given to the
world a short Pamphlets which contains the sub.
stance of a Speee.h whiO he intended to have ale.
livered in his place in the House of Peers on the
first day of the,Session of Parliament ; but his Lord.
ship in a prefixed advertisement states, '' that as
he proCieded in the consideration of the subjeft, he
found he could not comprehend in a short Speeco all
that he wished to observe, and' being unwilling to
take up the lime of the House with his Speculations,
he thought fit in the form Oa Pamphlet to give his
Sentiments to the Public." These Sentiments are
such as become the respectable Prelate's Charatter
for Patriotism, Moderation and Virtue, and we
think we cannot better gratify our Readers or serve
the Public Cause than by an adoption of some of
them.
His Lordship begins his intended Speech by
stating his attendance in his place in obedience to
the commands of His Majesty, and in compliance
with his own sense of public dofy. " I, my Lords,"
he rroceeds, " could have -been, well contented
to spend 'the little remainder of my life
.in retire.
ment, and buried in obscurity ; indifferent, alike,
to the calls of professional emolument, and pro.
fessionul ambition : but I cannot be contented to
remain indifferent to the Summons of my Sovereign,
in a time of distress ; deaf to the calls of my Coun.
try, when its existence is endangered.—Endangered
we all know it to be; but where is the dastardly
soul (none such, I am confident, is to be met with
-amongst your Lordships ; none such, I hope, is. to
be met with amongst-any of those in whose heating
I now speak)—where is the dastardly souli who
accompanies his prospeCl of danger, with a feeling
of despair ?
" Without laying claim to any extraordinary de.
gree of courage, any man of an advanced age, who has
wen contemplated the short and slippery course of
this world's concerns, may acquire such a firmness
of mind, as will enable him to sustain with Stoical
fortitude all the vicissitudes of fortune which may
await him; or, (to speak in language more appro.
priate, I am sensible to your Lordships' principles,
more consonant to your feelings, as well as to my
own,) to acquieice, with Christian resignation, in
every dispensation of GOD. What cause can such
a man ever, have for terror and despair ? On such
a man (I here sec_;nany such)--Maraca "wit sever
fortuna.--Vie worst that can happen to any indi.
victual amongst us is death ; and lie who fears to
die in the just defence of his Country, does not de.
serve to live in it. I put the matter at the very
worst, and that worst is nothing : good men do
not dread it, brave men do not shun it, wise men
hourly think of it ; it terrifies none but bad men
and powards. What ground then for our despair ?
our cause is good; our conscience on this point is
clear—we are nut fighting to plunder other men's
property, but to protect our own—we are not fight.
ing to subvert the liberty of other Nations, but to
prevent the yoke of slavery from being fastened on
out necks and on those of our posterity- .we are
no fighting in contempt of National Character, in
despite of the civil order of the world, in derision.
of religion, in mockery of Heaven—No! we are
fighting, to preserve ibis happy Land from Atheism,
tram Despoti an, or Anarchy, from that moral con_
lamination of principle and raraice, which out.
rages the very natiue of humankind.

is But why speak of the, worst, when there is
little probability of the worst happening? To some,
weed, it must happen ; writr gallant men must-
fall in the noble conflid ; but that the Nation will
be subdued is nor to me a pr,)bable event. The
events of War, we. acknowledge it with humility,
and we have abundant reason to acknowledge it
with gratitude and piety, are. in the hands of Gon.
Our duty is to trust the issue of the Contest to Him,
4g it. we were nor concerned in 'bringing it.about—
but it is our duty also to exert our own energy, as
if every thing depended on ourselves. And are we
not doing •this, in a manner and to an extent un.
heard of in homer times, in our own Country, and
unprecedented in the most illustrious nations of an.
tiquity ?
" We read of a law in Sparta which made it death
for a mats to refuse hazarding his life in the defence
of h's Country, We have no such law ; but we
have something a thousand times better than such a
law ...we have a British spirit. That spirit is now
roused, it pervades the whole Country, it animates
the Nobility, Gentry, Yeomanry, all orders and
descriptions of men, to do that voluntarily, which
even Spartans were compelled 'to do by the fear of
punishment-. Every city, town, and village, from
the Land's End to the Orkney Islands, pours forth
its voluntary Legions in defence of their Country
anti of their King.
It Glorious and unexampled on the Surface of
the earth is His Majesty's situation 1 Other hinces
there are who reign over more extensive regions—
other Princes there are who support their Thrones,
in times of Peace, by more numerous Armie's ; and
exercise over their tobjetts a more tin..m.tet. sway.
But where is the Prince, in Europe, or in 'the world,
who, in the day of danger, sees himself proteeted
as His Majesty is, by the united efforts of all his
Peopleby the persons of those who are able' to
wield a weapon -by* the prayers of the,' aged trod
of the sex—by the purses of the richand..by, the
hearts. of all ? Surely all this is wdl—it does
. honour to the King, it does equal honour to the
People: They knbw for whom and for what they
expolie_ their lives—they know that they are not
miserable tonscrios, driven in .vhains to be saeri-
- fieed oh the altar of an ambitious Leader, whom
they detest; but loyal subjeas, voluntarily encoun.
tering danger for a legal and beloved Monarch anti
nut for...hisn only, but for themselves ; for the pre.
servatiOn 'Oita limited Monarchy_ which it the
primary snuice of all the blessings they enjoy as
members of Civil Society.

" Is any one ignorant of these blessings ? Does
any one think that he has nothing to fight for, that
his condition, is so mean and uncomfintable that,
let what will happen, it cannot become worse under
any Constitution which may take place ?

of defence, which ate certainly well worth ieflOtti
attention;

" In the first place then, my Lords,ii says he;
" I am of opinion, that the first class of the people;
adopting the division prescribed by a late Ad of
Parliament, should be called out and taught the Use
of arms, not merely as, a temporary eipedient to
answer the present exigency; but annually continued
•as a permanent measure of the Executive Govern,
ment. Unwise and alefeaive is that policy, whiCh
is occupied iri devising remedies for present evils;
without extending Its views to prevent the recur.
fence of danger.: I read_ly join in the general praise
so justly given to the Volunteers; but this Coat,
mercial Nation ought so fir to become A IViiliter#
Nation; es always to have within itself a 'sufficiency'
of men ready disciplined foi its defence. This may
be completely efFeded fuc the present occasion In A.
short time; and when the pressure of the present Ot.
casion is removed; it may be established as a per.
manent measure in the 'course of six years; without
giving any sensible interruption to our agriculture,
our manufadures, or out commerce.

" The population of the Country would annually
supply, at least, fifty thousand youth+, who in the
preceding twelve months had attained the seven.
teenth year of •their age ; in six years we should
have three hundred thousand young men sUfficiently
instruated in the use of arms. In the seventh years
fifty thousand of them might be di,atissed, as eiro.o
riti, from further attendance on military duty, ex,
cept when the'Country was invaded. Thus by a
slight service of a few day. annually for six years.,
the whole Nation (for no Substitutes should in this
arrangement be allowed) woaki at length become a
Nation, nor of Warriors, but of peaceful Citizens,
of all occupations and denominations, ready to be-
come Warriors, whenever the satery of their Coun.
try should require the exertion of their skill and
courage. Neither France alone, nor France with
all Europe in her Vassulage, synitid venture to set
foot on this Island thus prepated to receive them*:
Great Britain, single handed, would defy the world.
" I own I prefer this Militia Rotation, if I may
so call it, which I have submitted to your Lord:
ships' consideration, not only to the Voltioteeting
System, but to every other Mode of cktraordinar)
defence. It would not supersede the Standing
Amy, it would be subsidiary to it, and might
greatly assist in rectuitin,,o the ranks of the regu.
lar fortes, and perhaps in diminishing their number:
Some men are apt to speak of every species of Mia
WA. force with contempt ; this has been always Ott
case: Lord Clarendon in one part of htt History
speaks in a most disparaging style of the London
Trained-Bands t but lie is farted to do thern justice
in another, where he informs tat, that they cou.
tageolisly resisted with their pikes the cavalry of
Prince Rupert, though led on by himself and there.
by saved the army at the battle of Newbury. It
was by a force of this kind that the Romans first
conquered Italy, and then the world. And, in
our time, a force of this kind captured a must gala
lane army at Saratoga, and thereby acquired lode.
pendence for America.
" I forbear, my Lords, entering into any detail
on this subject; the very mention of which may
appear to some to be a going beyond my Province.
But the—se tutor rihra trrkidam—the Iratlext
brilia fabri—the, let Bishops mind their Bibles--
these, and sarcasms such as these, front whatever
mouth they May proceed, aired not me ; nor ought
they to affeat any honest man, who is dealrous to
setvd hit Country by his advice--The advice may
be worth nothing, but your Lordships' candout
will, I am persuaded, suffer the tealtude of the
Speaker's intention to sanctify the imbecility of his
judgment.
I rely upon that candour, and proceed to men.
tion a second mean of extricating the Country
from its present danger, and of preserving it from
• all future apiarehension of danger. The mean I re.
commend is—the payment of the National Debt,

the seven years War, by the American War by the
last War, and by this.
