We are anxious for deveopement of the eourie
which MIR Fox will purfue in his new ituation which
is very trying one. He defert his old prin-
cples, decline efforts carry his projections into
effect, without difgracing hmfelf and he cannot at
tempt to puthisproeions into practice without rfque-
ing his hation prime miniaer. The Suenon of
Union between England and Ireland, is again agitated
as well in private circles in public in the debate
in the houie of commons the Sd of February, an
lrh member, ntin,aed that an effort would be made
to repeal the union a and, in noticing this remark,
Mr. Fox iaid-he agreed with the Irilh member in
his fentments refpeaiHg the union, that that mea-
fure was the mott difgraceful the government of
the country that carried or propoled''-
This was enough excite the feelings and the hopes
OF the enemies of the Union, and doubt the mini
tiers incerity will be put the teh. In like man
ner, the Catholics will renew their claims for The ex-
erce of the elective franchife, and the dIenters will
call for repeal OF the tet act. All thefe crcumRan
ces render the fituation of MIR. Fox peculiarly deli
cate-he has the alternative, fupport his former
principles at the rilque office, abandon them with
the lois of charaaer-we hope he may extricate him.
