We. are attacked in a Morning Paper.of this day
for " vilifying the meinory of Mr. Fox.'! That Pa-
per, however, very often indulges itself in " %jibly-
ing the memory of Mr. PITT." We.o ill not degrade
the •charaaer of the wise and virtuous Statesmin
last mentioned by any compatison with ilie foimer,
but whenever he is attacked we shall never cease to
defend his memory. Thesubjeat, however, which
led to our mention, of Mr.Tox ;was the speech im-
puted to his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES,
in which he is said to have 'declared that he shall en-
deavour to,make Mr. Fox's political principles the
creed of his illustrious daughter. We have at ire-
,
sent but a word or two more to s:iy on the subject.
Mr. Fox, on several occasions, asserted, that the re-
sistance of the People to the authority of Govern-
ment was merely a question of prudence, and should
• .
be estimated by their potivr. Is this a proper opi-,
nion, to form,part of the pordical creed,olone who
may be invested %4iith the Crown '7of these realms ?

Letters were yestetby received by ship from
Tarragona, atter a voyage of only about 16 days.—
At this very late date the French had made no pro-
gress in their attempts upon the East of Spain, and
Tortosa.and Tarragona were expected to make a vi-
gorons defence wheriev'er the French should•think
proper to commence 'the siege they had so long
threatened.

Letters from Bilboa and Santander state, that se-
rious consequences hadresult.ed from the late daring
expedition under PORLIER. The French, as a pu-
nishment on the BiScoyans, have levied a contribu
tion of 3,500,000 reals, and 12,000 men have been
marched from Victoria, to OccopY the different towns
and ports of that unfortunate province. A' person
who left Santander on the 4th inst. describes in pain-
ful terms the condition of, that town and the adja-
cent country, in consequence of French exactions
and oppressions._ . • .

of Mr. I.Apowrci that he was very we'll, but alone,
having lost all his companions; that he intended
to return to the coast by Galant to Sentgal, it being
a shortei roue from Where' he was than by tiie
Gambia. If he is really in existence, and has been
seen by the Toucaloor, he probably adopted this re-
solntibnowing to the disturbed slate in which the
upper part' of the Gambia is, on accodnt of warbe-
