Richard Vassal Fox Leid Ifollatid, the Mayor,
Aldernieri, and ither Meer, or Hoe coritprition,
togethci lith the Liiery orNotting!iuso, pieceded
by s bang of music,
,walked prileassion from
the houie of the Mayor to the Toin Usti, fur the
purpose of administering to his Lordship the ac..
cuitomed oath% as Recorder of this town.

Wright Culdham, Esq. Mayor, addresied the
Meeting in a very concise and appropriate speech.
lle Mt infinite gratification in having the honour
to introduce (to the Livery and to his Brother
Burgeses,) as Recorder, a Personage highly distin.
guished by public as well is private worth. Lord
Honied, he observed, was eminently fitted:to till
with dignity and propriety, the impurtaut station
to which their almost unanimous suffrages had
called him. Ills virtues, talents, and public ser-
vices had been justly appreciated ; he would,
therefore, congratulate himself, and them, on
their judicious choice, and tender to his bordship
their united acknowledgments for his cotidescen.
sion in taking the Chair u their llxeurtler.
Mr. George Coldham, the Town Clerk, having
administered to his Lordship the usual oaths of
office, took occasion to express theaincere plea.
sure and satisfaction, wkiclt his Lordship's lire.
settee in that place had excited. Ile paid a just
tribute to the political sentiments of his Lordship,
to whom, in conseqnence of an almost universal
choice of the Mayor, Aldermen, Common Coun-
cil, and Livery, he had this dory the honours,- is
the presence of his Brother Burgesses, to adniiii!,
stcr the Oaths of office.—lle concluded by express•
sing his sincere wish that his Lordship would lung
live, to enable the Corporation of Nottingharr• to
enjoy the advantage of his IF ouncils) and the be.
Befit of his example.
Lord iloeeanv then addressed the Meeting.--;
lie said it was a source of satisfaction to every
• well constituted mind to be the object of prefer.
elmc with any body of his Fellow-Citizens, espe-
ci4lly, when such Election was a proof of their
unbiassed opinions in his favour, and such lie might
with pride avow his Election to the itecordership
of Nottingham to be, for his connection with the
Corporation and Livery arose entirely anti exclu.
sively from an unison of sentiment on public mat.
ters. The Gentlemen (he added) would not sus.
pect him of the vanity of assuming that their
choke was directed by any personal merits
of his own, or froth any consideration of such ex.
ertions as he liad ever been, or should ever he caps-
ble of making in that sacred cause, to which he
and they were altaehed. No.--he attributed this
unsolicited mark of farrier to a motive more he.
nourable to their judgment, and not less gratify-
ing to his feelings, be meant a desire of paying :•.:1
additional tribute to the memory of Mr. Fox.
They expressed by the honour they had done him,
their attachment to the principles of that great
Statesman, and they paid him (Lord Holland) the
compliment (and no slight one surely) of knowing
•how to value his connection with so steady and
able a promoter of the Liberties of his Country.
The political life of Mr. Fox had been chiefly
devoted to two grist objects, the one accidentally
arising from the circumstances of the times, the
other permanent and unalterable; he.tninint Ow At-
Ltiiiment of Peace, and the preservation and im-
provement of the Civil and Religious Liberties
of his Country. As to Peace, that it was
always desirable no • man could deny, and
none, animated by Mr. Fox's principles, could
for a moment forget : but Peace was not always
attainable. lie remembered Mr. Fox had often
stated, that use of the evils of engaging in, or pro:
tractine ward unnecessarily, was, that the pe-
riod of making peace could nut be al waya within
our cistitroul : that events might take a course
which woutd indispose the Enemy, nay' even hi.
capacitate him from offering any terms, to which
we could honourably or safely eceede. Ile did
not know whether the prediction was fulfilled or
not ; he was not prepared, nor was that the place
to examine if it were ; but sure be was, that in
' proportion as the difficulties of peace increased,
in such proportion did pulley require us Co cling
more closely to the other principle of Mr. Fox's
public life, the Improvement anti I.l:tension of
the Civil and Religious Liberties of the Subject.
In speaking of Religions Liberty, and *thither,
to the Corperatihn arid Test Acts, his lenti-
l! chip expressed his abhorrence of that intolerant
I policy, which stigmatizes nearly one half of the
population of the United Empire, either with
odious disabilities, or the necessity of annual in-
demnification. With respect to Civil Liberty,
he would only say a few words. I am, said he,
1 and always hied been, a Friend to a Reform in
Parliament. I believe it would be a beneficial men.

Panuca. I ant far from bring sure that

once, and secure a wise *and popular Atimitlistra.
tints of oar affaire ; still less amt of opinions
I (hal because Parliamentary Reform is good, that
therefore, bathing can be done without it. No :
I think diet Parliament, even constituted as it is,
could add would, if properly supported by the
People, exeinine into the causes of our failures
aunt disasters with effect ; punish the aetitors
of them, and secure us by well-timed severity, from
the recurrence of these flits, to which we have
beets eirised. The Constitution gives th.• Crown,
and wisely gives it, the choice of its Minister*, but
it gives Parliameut a controls! over :hem ; there
has indeed exist:ll for nearly half a century, a party
amongst us, who has endeavoured to render that
contr,ul a mere farce, and to regulate the carry's.•
of that Nero:wive of the Crown, by the whine,
and caprice of its secret advisers, without referen-
ces to the judgment of Parliament, or the wishes ,
or iuterests of tha Country. The experiment has
often been iried, but never so openly, sit boldly
as lately• What, .he asked, had been the fruits
of that system ? The Expeditions to Walcheren,
