THE LATE MR•CANNING.

TO THE EDITOR.
AVOUIT, 24, 1227.
Ste—. 3 wrote the accomp.i nying letter some days ago,
without the slightest intention of publishing it; bat as
the same unmanly attack: there alluded to are still con-
tinued to be made in some of the newspapers, which you,
I think, must view in the same light as I du, you are at
liberty to insert it, if you like, in your Paper.

• W3l. CANNING.
WINDSOR, Am:sr 20, 1,127.

Mr Due--On Thursday last I attended the remains 4 our
deeply-lamented relation to kis last home at Westmonsor
1 Abney. It was a painful ceremony; yet, painful as it was, it
was gratifying to behold the Immense crowd assembled to witness
the solemn scene—their decent behaviour and their dejected coon-
tenanc• a. It was gratifying, ton, to behold, as a mail' of their
private friendship, many of the first men of the country, in rank
and talents, following him to the grave with tears of real marrow
streaming from their eyes. This was gratifying, but the reflections
to which It gave rise were so frequently crossed by the bitter and
heart-rending thoughts of all, that his friends, his country, nay, and
I may say the world at large, bad lost by the death of such a man, at
tech a moment—that a circumstance, which, at another time, might
have been soothing Cu one's grief, tended only to heighten it. Ide not
enter into the details of the sad procession. suffice it to say, that every
honour was paid to the memory of the deceased that the most devoted
of has admirers could with. And now that be is no more,isit not hortid
to think that there should be those, who, having tailed in their at-
necks upon him while living, should carry their malice so far as to
continue thugs attacks tinw be is dead? and being unable, by all
their efforts, to lower him in the estimation of his con:emporaries,are
endeavouring to blacken his character in the eyes of posterity, by'
adding to his other pretended crimes that of a want of eagles ; but if 1
readieet alight, the aowardice of the lie Its ticking the Uoa when
Jead only made him the more contemptible In the sight of the
other animals. And so it must be in this ease; for if there be
any who, Irani the assertions of his enemies, may have entertained
• doubt respecting the religion of George Canning, such persons
(when they find that that suspicion was unjuit and unfounded) will
have no doubt that those who have attacked him for the want of it,
must have very little themselves, or they never could have been
guilty of so escbristian-like an set.

Yon know, as well as I do, (and we are told that we art to
judge of the tree by its fruits) that there could hardly have been
a man existing more correctly moral than George Canning—
correct from principle, and oat from apathy. As a husband, a
fat►er, a mufti, his conduct was irreproachable; and as a sot it
was not only irreproachable, but such, that I firmly believe if all the
reuntstances of it be ever known, the pages which relate it will be
cun,idered as the brightest in bit whole history. As a young man, I
i should say, that although not always as attentive as he ought to
1 have been, be was far more attentive to his religious duties than
most young melt ; and from the time of his marriage, as I ucderstand,
he was as regular in his attendance at church as his avocations would
allow; and bad constantly service at home, whenever his family
were prevented from attending the public service. And this is the
man whom his enemies would stigmatise as devoid of religion. It
only shews bow deadly is the rancour of party spirit, and how tree
it is that there it no one whom a man hates so intensely as the person
'whom he has injured. Liotis the good and bad qualities of this
highly-gifted man are now before the world, and I have do doubt,
that in spite of the worst efforts of his ingenious enemies, he has left
those behind him who will do justice to Lis character, and who, in
defiance of his faults—faults that will appear Like nothing when
compared to his virtues—will represe .t him as be really was-a-
amiable in his own family and among his friends, and, as a public
man, high spirited, esndid, disinterested, indefatigable in serving
his country, and seeking the reward of those services, net in the
wealth .r rank they might procure, bat in their own renown, and
le the good they might do to mankind.
I am, you?* affectionately,
WILLIAM CANNING.
