Tooke. He had at one period been the friend
and intimate of a great deceased Minister ; bat
that Minister had lived to be his bitterest enemy.
He (Mr. Tooke) must he described In words
which apply to but few men.....es an individual not
born to be spoiled by the foolish baud of fortune—
as one who had long espoused the cause of the people
of IYestminster ; which is, properly, the cause of
the people of England. Both a scholar and a potitl.
cian, it was not within Teeth of vulgar malignity to
destroy those qualities, which were as much above
the calumny as thet criticism of his enemies. It wait
true, that he could boast of no cantered heaps of,
strangely acquired gold to he foetid in his coffers,
although he had the proud consolation of possess:
ing stores of good recollection, and' of anticipat.
ing, when removed from this world, the reversion
of an undying fame in the remembrance of pos.
terity. His years of patriotic exertiok, as wan
uniformly the colisequenbe, called forth the uninterat
persecution of the enemies of human free.

cation to 'mire his malignant cold.bloodei parse.
tutor, Mr. Pitt, who had basely endeavoured to
pervert the exercise of the principles of the Coned.
teflon to destroy its best supporters. In the con.
test and the consequences, huManity defended
itself ; fur whilst the one Wutirff orgy Icnowtr as-
the cut-purse of England, only known by the
mingle of his own disastronv administration, and
the total falsity of all his predictions as to France,
the scholar amid the patriot would take his dee
rank amongst the heroes of his species, such as
Bacon, Lucke and others, an honour to
Britain, and an ornament to mankind. [Mar,
hear ! and loud applause.] He begged par.
don fur trespassing so long on their patience,
but he would rather suffer any displeasure than nut
bear his humble testimony to the talents and vie.
tues which adorned the friend of their illustrious
Representative. They could not forget the ca.
'snnies directed against another Gentleman, then
in the room, who had already addressed them
(Colonel Wardle). That Gentleman was the
great detector of the worst abuses. Gentlemen
might declaim about the critical state of the
uountry, and the burdens of the people, and'
many other similar topics—but what use is
it, if it did 'not kad to a perfect Reform in.
the State, when it was notorious that name..

The factions attempted to • alarm the coats.
try with the power of Bonaparte. He would ad.'
mit all they said of his hostility ; but he would
also assert, that he had raised himself by merit;
to his bud eminence; but they had not elevated
themselves by talent to their bad eminence.
All his power he had earned by his personal
letalidcations; Thu men . who command his ar.,

bad departed from the principles which she es.

—but thi country should Imitate her in that by
which she had almost uniformly trained her troops
to victory. He concluded with giving the health
of Mr. Cobbett, In the energetic words of that
bold, honest, and intrepid public writer—
