Iht. Fan ANNIVERSARY DINNER.

On Sarntday about 4cio perfons affernbletl at
Shakefpeare Tavern, to celebrate the anniver-
. yof Mr. Fox's elation. .
On the cloth being vemoved, Mr. Fox drank to
The Independent Eledtors of Weftminiter.
He then drank
Succefs to the Preliminaries of Peace ; may they Van be fol•
1.-ed by a Definitive Treaty—and by a cordial and biting I
iroidthip between Great Britain and France!
Mr. Dion ust then fung a Hymn to Peace, writ-
ten by Mr. CHARLLS Sarre, to the Air, " Rule
Brit,rnia."
Mr. Easels' rate to propofe Mr. Fox's health,
and took occafion to advert to the fingular coinci-
dence betwixt the arrival of the ratification of Pre-
liminaries of Peace and the celebration of the An-
niverfary of his Honourable Friend's Elation.—
Of thefe Prelimiiraries, as reltoring to us the bleff-
'logs of Peace, there was, he believed, but one opi-
nion ; and it was therefore unneceffary to enlarge
*rn that topic. It was needlefs for him to prefs on
the notice of the company a fad of which none of
them were ignorant, that, previous to the com-
mencement of the war, his Honourable Friend had
endeavoured by every exertion of his great talents
to avert fo dreadful an evil—that he had early fore-
told all its fatal eonfequences—and that, at diffe-
rent periods of the conteft, he ufed every effort to
put a flop to its continuance. He felt no difpoll-
;ion to canvas the terms of the Peace. Peace was
atall times a great bleffing ; but how much was its
value augmented, when it put a period to one of
the moil deftrtietive and difaftrous contefts which
'6c ivorld 'ever law.
His joy at fo happy an event was fervent and
'cordial ; he was Pure that his Honourable Friend
entertained fimilar fentiments ; and that would fup-
port the Peace both in and out of Parliament.
Mr. Easto' finifhed by giving
, The Health of Mr. Fox,
Which was drank in three times three, wfth every
ina‘ric of thesrarineft regard and affection.
When the enthufaidlic acclamations of the com-
pany had at hat folifided,
Mr. FOx rote, and fpoke in fuliftance as follows :
This day twenty-one years, Gentlemen, after a
long Ilriiggle, I had the honour to be defied re-
prelentative tor Weilmintter: Your exertions upon
that occafion filled my mind with fentiments of ,
nrstitude and attachments which will never 'be '
crated from it. Ido tot conceive, however, that
by your choice you intended to favour an indivi.
dual, I was then lets acquainted with: you than
I have fince become, and at no time can I fuppofe
that tin individUal of fo little confequence as myfelf
ihodld be reckoned worthy of fuch a mark of your
regard. Gentleincn, you declared Tot the caufe
in which I was engaged, and to fupport the prin-
ciples of liberty was the objelt of your efforts.
You knew myripinkin to be ftrong againft the war,
and you elated me in the hope that I would &Tidy
refill the attempts which you taw carrying on to
defpotifm and to violote the rights of man-
kind. Your choice was flattering to me ; but I
was more flattered Rill when my poor exertions,
united with thofe of abler men, fucceeded in dif.
concerting the projats of tyranny • and an end
was at length put to the American tyranny;
This war, Gentlemen, was not lefs difaftrons
than ; yet, bad our fubfequent conduft been
.
RUlded'hy refleetron* it might have conferred upon
us a fignal benefit. The refult of the American
war confirmed this grand principle, that all wars,
*aged againft the rights of mankind, muff be ul-
tikately infuccefsful. Whatever may be the dif-
ferent tpnns of goternment throughout the globe,
hOweveV villainy may profper for a while, and ty-
ranny may lord it over proftrate flares, when li-
berty is fairly at iffue with tyrants, the event is not
doubtful. Changes of fortune may mark the pro-
grefs of the coma; but plans of fobjugation will
end in the difgrace of dick authors—the caufe of
truth and juftice will uniformly triumph—{Lard
Gentlemen, dot ki.A I have Rated the principle on which
I conceive Inyfelf to have been choral to reprefent
you in parliament. You mull have perceived many
defefts in my charaiter, and errors an my conduet.
Yet you mull be convinced that I have a mind fixed
Iteadily on the principles of freedom, and that I
am animated by a detetlation of all war ; above
all, of war carried on for the parpofes of defpotifin.
—What then could you expert me to do at the
commencement of the prefent ? Is a man bccaufe
he is an Englilliman, a Spaniard, or a German, to
flint his eyes to the injuftice of dictating to an in-
dependent nation? Should he join in the cry with
thole who fay to a great people, " You mull diorite
a King : however much you abhor monarchy,
however much you detell thole who haie a here-
ditary claim to your throne, however ardently you
fr,h for the bleffings. of a free government, you
mull implicitly fubmit yoiirfelves to the creature
we point out, or we wage againft you a war of
extermination ?" Does a plan to prevent a nation
from throwing off its chains,and aliening its rights,
deferve lift reprobation than the raffi attempt to
tax America without her content ?
Such a war I thought it my duty to oppofe.
I oppofed it to the very utoeolt of my abilities be-
fore it began, and for years after its eciliasaame-
sncnt the ftrenuoufncfs of my exertions remained
unabated. I had to encounter great unpopularity,
but while I thought I could be ufeful, I did not
aka from my endeavours to difpel the general
clelulion, and to ward off impending calamity. In
this city, I am fanguine enough to hope that my
conduit has met with approbation. Had you been
inclined, you have not wanted, opportunities to
cenfure me.
This war is now at an end. Preliminaries of
Peace have been agreed upon, and evey lover of
ereedoro, every friend to humanity throughout
Europe has fubjed of rejoicing.. A war againft
the liberties of mankind, notwithftanding partial
locates, difaltrous in the extreme, which has oc-
caficaed a lots of lives horrible to think of, and ex-
pences, the oppreffive effeifts of which will long
continue to be felt—fuch a war, attended with
rents fo (hocking to humanity li . come to a dote.
will not canvas the terms on which peace is con-
cluded. The war was bad, and to a continuation
•.1 it any peace is to be preferred.

There are two -ways in. which the fubjed may
be confidered :—lft. The. terms of the peace, and
acily,.The time when it was Concluded. The.terms
I do not think it of much importance to confider.
Have we, indeed,, lived to this time, and not yet
know that to retain an iffand or two in the Weft
Indies, or a fortrefs or two in the EaR, cannot be
compared with the calamities brought upon the
country, not by a year's, but a tingle month's Cam-
paign ? Let the value of the objea be confidered,
and the price that is to be paid for it, and no ra-
tional man will fay that between the two there is
any proportion.
I will, there were as little to be laid about the
tine; not that it has arrived too foon ; you are well
aware that in my opinion it might have been great-
ly accelerated. And I confidently afk, whether
there has been a period fence the beginning of the
war that Peace might not have been attained on
the terms which have at loft been agreed to ?
More particularly, during. the haft two years (I
mean fence BONAPARTE gained the fupreme _power
in France), have not the fame conciliatory difpo-
fition exifted in the enemy, of which we have now
availed ourfelves ? You have fought but to make
your comparative fitnation lefs favourable, every
life you have loft has been an idle walk of blood,
and every penny that you havefpentyonhave fpent
only to burden yourfelves and your defcendants.
You, Gentlemen, early forefaw the. fatal conic-
quences of the meaftues which were purfued, and
petitioned for Peace and a change of miniftry.
Your petition was not heard ; but had it been fol-
lowed up by others—had the country difplayed a
becoming fpirit, Peace weight have been made on
better terms than the prefent—we fhould now be
free from a hundred and fifty millions of debt, and
we fhould have faved lives almoft incalculablz.
You rightly petitioned for a change of
as the fin-eft means of putting a period to the var.
From circumftances which Teem very myfierioos,
and which, I for- one, molt certainly do nut in
any degree underhand, a change of miniftry at lath
took place. I rejoiced at the event, though I was
ignorant of its cattle. While thofe men who began
the war remained in power, not a hope could be
reafonably entertained that it would terminate
before our ruin was confummated. The down-
fall of miniftry I therefore hailed as a happy omen
of Peace. I have not been miltaken, and Peace
by that means is obtained. My opinion of :loft
who fucceeded, you may believe was not high ; but
in abandoning the mad fchemes of their pi ede-
ceffors they have fo far dcne well, and mere: ap-
probation.
It may be raid that the Peace we have made is
glorious to the French Republic, and glorious
to the Chief Conful. Ought it not to be In ?
Ought not glory to be the reward of fuch glorious
(trunk ? France flood againft a Confederacy corn-
poled of all the great kingdoms of Europe ; the
completely baffled the attempts of thofe who me-
naced her independence; temporary misfortunes
and new dangers ferved only to reanimate her cou-
rage ; after a courfe of brilliant victories, almoft
wabctut a parallel, fhe gave the law to thole who
had projeaed her deftru(ion; the ha's let an ex-
ample which will be highly ufefol to all the na-
tions of the earth—and above all to Great Britain.
Ought not the Peace then to be glorious to France?
Some complain that we have not gained the
obied of the war. The objet of the war we have
not gained moll certainly, and I like the Peace by
fo much the better. What, Gentlemen, was the
principle on which the war was carried on ? To
deny to An independent country the right to model
its own conftitntion of government—to Rifle in it
every fentiment of freedom, and to bring it once
more under the dominion of defpotifm, beraufe it
had ed under defpotifm for centuries. By
the Irienatithis principle is given up, and I like the
Peaceonthisaccountthebetter, as I think it will thus
be more fintere, more beneficent, and more failing.
But notwithftanding the bleffings which PCA.:e
will reftore to us, it will not place us in the Elate in
which wt were previous to the commencement of
the war. The debt we have contraded during its
progrefs, and the burdens which have been impoled
on us, though, perhaps, neceffary for the payment
of the interest of that debt, will be long felt by
the country. But this is not the worn effete of the
war. Its worn effed has been that in this conteh
we, who gloried in the dillindion of being a free
Commonwealth, have been in danger from that
natural fentiment of patriotifm which difpofes us to
with fuccefs to the caufe irtswhich our countrymen
are engaged, of becoming the partizans of what is
called lfonarchy, but of what is in reality a fyftem
of defpotiftu inconfiftent with the liberties of man-
kind,hoftile to the fpirit ofevery free government ,and
contrary to the principles of public juftice. If fuch
prejudices have been infufed into the public mind
during the war, I hope that Peace, followed up by
a good underftanding betwixt the two countries,
Will do them away; and that we (hall return to
that temper of mind which diftingnifhed us when
we thought ourfelves the freeft people upon earth ;
when we reckoned that period at which our an-
ceftors expelled James IL a molt glorious are,
and when, fo far from being afhamedof cafhiering
one Monarch and eleding another, who had not a
dime hereditary right to the throne, we deemed it
the primula period in the hiftory of our country.
However we my have beheld with horror many
of the enormities which were perpetrated at Paris,
during the early years of the French Revolution—
and no man furveyed thefe enormities with greater
horror than myfelf—whatever opinion may be en-
tertained of the fuccefs of the French people in
obtaining the bleflings of liberty, in our intercom*
with them it is impotlible for us not to view them
as a nation who have, by their exertions, refcued
themfelves from the moil arbitrary government in
Europe. For let not people imagine that becaufe
the French Government favoured cultivation and
refinement—becaufe it had the appearance of giv-
ing countenance to literature and philofphy, it was
on that account lefs tyrannical and opprelhive. I
believe fincerely that it was, amid theft appear-
ances of great mildnefs, the molt horrible fyftem
of tyranny, and every friend of liberty mutt re•
joice that the French have got rid of
-a govern-
ment which was ever pmJudive of calamity to the
world.—(Lveti atfialffe).

I trnft the reftoratient of intkreolsrfe with the
French will banifh all the prejudicesAvhich the war
may have engendered, and reftore qs to a high opi-
nion even of ourfelves, not as we are now, but as
we were a century ago—as we were in thole times
when we gloried in being the grcateft friends of
liberty in apy part of the globe. (Land aisp/aufe).
There are other effeEts o the war, however, which
I know not whether thisPwill ever be repaired.—
Under the pretence of 'lingers which thp,war cre-
ated, our molt important privileges have been
alarmingly curtailed or wholly (Upended, and
during ,line years we have witneffedthe molt dread-
ful inroads on our conftitution.
With the reftoration of Peace, know not whe-
ther the people will be fo anxious to recover their
loft liberty, and to regain poffeffion of their vio-
lated rights. I doubt not of this company and of
' the Eledlaors of Weftminfter, but I know not what
will be the difpofition of the country at large. I
know pot whether the powers of corruption
which ,the war has fo much enlarged, which the
union with Ireland has fo greatly extended, and
which every a6t of the late Adminiftration, who
came into power with fuch profeCGons of purity,
tended to reduce to a fyftenn, have not encreafed
to fuch a degree that all efforts will be ineffeetual
to reftore that liberty which we have loft; and
whether the prejudices which originated from the
war havt not taken fuch deep root that the re-
turn of Peace will not be accompanied with its
correfpondin,g bleflings,that we fhall not regain our
ancient purity of political opinion. Long expe-
rience has made me too well acquainted with
public affairs not merely to banilh all fanguine
hopes of a fiiccefsful affertion of the liberties of
tha people, but almoti to give room for defpair
of ever being able to defiroy the influence of cor-
ruption in the condutt of an unprincipled Ad-
miniaration. _ _ -

We have loft much, which see have but a fmall
chance to recover. Small, however, as that chance
is, it is 11111 greater than it would have been had
Peace been delayed a twelvemonth longer. If
Peace had been concluded fooncr, this chance
would have been proportionally greater, for
every year of war not only diminithes this chance,
but plunges us deeper in thole evils which we fo
much deplore, and to the removal of which we
look forward with anxiety and.cread, by the
difficulties to which that removal is oppofed. If
the late Minifters had made Peace, I would have
rejoiced at it, but I was fenfible that they could
not, and the change of Adminiaration is to be
confidered good, at leaft in this rcfped, in having
procured us a bleffing fo infinitely deferable. Let
us rejoice, then, at the conclufion of Pence, with-
out rcrupulotifly canvaffing the terms.
You,the EleCtors of Vv'eftminfter, may rejoice
that, for twenty-five years, you lat:e ever fly:wit
yourfelves the enemies of war, and the friends of
thofc rights which, though they may be del-piled
by courtiers, are of inellimable value in the eyes of
every friend of human happinefs. You may re-
joice that, whatever may have been the evils re-
fulting from the war, whatever difailrous confe-
<peaces have flowed, nr may yet flow from it, yon
have no Iharc of the blame, and are not anfwer-
able for any of their dreadful confequences.
Mr. Fox concluded by returning the company
his thanks for the honour they had done him by
their pretence on this occafion. On fitting down
he gave
Mr. Garr and the Indrpencicnt Electors of the county of
Nonhunaber!and.
'Phis toalt was drank with enthuflarm.
The next waft was,
The Du:te of Northumberland, and the other Stewards,
Which was drank with loud wpplaufe.
Lord Bsseosoucit, in a fhort but appropriate
fpcech, declared that he entirely concurred in the
fentiments delivered from the Chair. .

Mr. Fox next gave—
Mr. Erfkine and the Trial by Jar!.
Which ,was drank with the loudefl applaufe.
Mr. ERSKINE returned thanks to the Company
;Or the honour conferred on him by a iniciating his
name with the molt valued And the mod important
of their Rights. They had already heard from the
Chair the fentiments he entertained of the peace
and its confequences, in much better language than
any which he could employ, and therefore it was
now unneceffary to repeat them. One of the ef-
feEts of the war had been to place the Trial by
Jury under a cloud, from which he trufted Peace
would deliver it. They might rely on it, that as
long as it pleafed Goo to continue the heahh
which he had enjoyed, uninterrupted, and as
long as he poll-cited aelivity fulficient to enable
him to perform his profeflional dirties, he would
never ceafe to make every exertion in fupport of
public liberty, and for the maintenance of indivi-
dual proteaion.
Mr. RoaiNsov fling a new ballad of great hu-
mour, written by himself, defcribing the tricks of
the Grand Punchinello.

The next toad was
Mr. Byng, and t►e Independent Fledors of Wertminfter.
Which was drank with great applaufe.
Mr. BYNC exprefted himfelf highly fen able of
the honour the company had done him, and faid
that nothing was more gratifying to him than the
continuance of their approbation.
Dr. HODGSON fang—' How happy in my Native
Land.'
Alderman COMAE'S health, and the Indepen-
dent Livery of London was next drank, which
was honoured by much applaufe.
The worthy Alderman returned his acknow-
ledgements. In common with his fellow-citizens,
he eagerly hailed peace. He would only obferve,
thgt if thole who entered into the wan applauded
the peace, he would be glad to know why they
made war?
Toait—sir William Milner, and the Independent Freemen
of the City o? York.
Sir WILLIAM MILNER, after thanking the com-
pany, faid he had oppofed the Amerman war; he
had front his confcience ailed with Mr. Fox in
almoft every eireumftance of that war, as well as
the prefent. The prefent Adminiftration Ihould,
for having made peace, receive his cordial fup
port and thanks, hut in other cafes he mull be
guided by a eonfideration of their traufaelions
fuse their coining into the hfiaigry.

ToßA—Latni VIM= Ruda,
Who returned his thanks in a fhort patriotic fpeech.
Mr. Fox then gave fricceffively the healths of
Mr. Sheridan and Lord George Cavendilh, which
were drank with enthafiafro. He •concluded by
giving—
The Caufe pf tawny all over tht.
A waft of which the company loudly expreffed
their approbation.--Abouteight o'clock be retired.
followed by the moil rapturous applaufe of his
Constituents.

The Rev. THOMAS EOMONDS, of Upton on Se-

of his trials with the Patent Metallic Traetors.—
Among thofc arc fcveral remarkable cures of
Rheumatilm, Lumbago, Burns, Inflammatory
Tumours ; and one cafe on an Infant, which he
Rates as follows :
o I have a child feurteen months old, who lately had a Bon-
blefonse complaint in his note and upper lip, which was highly
inflamed and exceedingly fore. It had been in this hate about
three week s,and which though we had endeavoured to heal,ap-
peared to grow worfc. One evening as be lay afleep in his Stt ft. s
arms, I refolved to try the Trietors, which I di,' for forty mi-
nutes. Though the part bled when I begun, and an acrid hu-
mour iffued from unit r the fcab, yet during the operation that
difcharge was evidently dlntinifhed, and the inflammation was
nearly removed! To my furpt ire and pleafure, on the nest
morning, the fcab came all, and tue phce was well! The eir-
etimftances of this cafe not only prove the great utiL:y of the
Tradtors; but that they do not cure through the medium of

Eaclufive of lights in the windows, there was
-fcarccly a Nobleman or Gentleman's houfe weft-
ward that eves not farther lighted up with torches
afExed*to their iron palifadees, or on the tops of
the honks. The illuminations, however, were
not uniformly brilliant ; a great many, in the
fewnefs •of the lights, having clearly 'hewn they
lighted up merely in comtiliance with the general
fedi, and to lave appearances. They.were how-
ever univerfal, even to the extent of the molt ob-

The Posr Orrice, and the Secretary houfe ad-

At Mears. I-aortae:toles, in Finfburytquare,
the whole of that extenfive building was decorated
with portraits of Howe, St. Vincent, Nelfon, Dun-

" To the Heroes of the Sea we are indebted for
the reforation of peace." Fireworks were (lit:
