FOUR DAYS LATER.
Our London Advices now reach the evening of

LONDON, Sept. 10.
A morning paper of yeterday announced.
that before its fleets went out to the world. Mr.
Fox would perhaps be no more. The writer
having declared that this ftatement was extorted
from him by a fcnfe of duty, it was of courfc
interpreted in the mott unfavnurable fenf. and
thofe who read and believed the paragraph, con-
fdered Mr.. Fox actually dead at the moment.
This was an exaggerated account, and we tool,
no notice oft, but ftated the fimple fact of his
being IN very low and exhaufted fate. The
ftatement, however, alluded to, foon got abroad,
and the town was agitated during the whole
day with reports of his actual demife, differing
only IN degrees of confidence. 1t was one of
thefe that probably induced an evening print TO
make fecond edition, AT four O'Clock, ftating
the arrival of a meffenger from Chifwick, an
nouno ing that MIR. Fox departed this life in the
morning. Itrequired little reflection to perceive
that this was not very probable. An exprefs
from Chfwick, would reach town in half an
hour. The following account will, we believe,
be found tolerably correct -
Mr.. Fox's diforder took an unfavourable turn
on sunday evening, and the mott ferrous appre-
heniions were entertained by his friends. A.
mopg thefe are the family of the Duke of Devon
hire, by one of whom note, of which the fol-
lowing is copy, was received at ten O'Clock
yeferday:
Cbifquirk, nine o'clock, morning.
CDR. has the honour to inform lady---,
that Mr.. Fox was extremely i'll yefferdsy. from
hidden and great degree of weaknefc which
came on in the forenoon, and continued the
whole of the day. IN the night he was fome-
thing better, and had fome toIerable good ref.
He took nouriihment freely in the night, and is
now tranquil, with his pufe improved. This
great degree of weakness has been expected
whenever the fupport of the vefTels f,onld be
taken away. by his being entirely emptied of
the water"
We know that many accounts, equally au-
thentic, were received in town yeitertlay, any
one of which ought to have ilenced the faICc
reports of Mr.. Fox's diGolution ye(terday
morning. At g O'clock yeftrrday afternoon we
had further information that he was Nil alive
a meiienger arrived at that homr at his houfe in
Stable Yard, with orders for fome articles want
, ed Tor bis uie. An account was, at the fame
t'me received, Hating that he was very low,
| but competed. Still, however, the r-ocrts of
his death were repeated with increafed conf
dence, by the ignorant, the crednIous, and the
Designing. In the fad of his death, they were
indeed, all agreed they only differed in the
time. Some faid 1t took place at FIVE in the
morning, others at ten. At eight O'Clock
however, bulletin, dated Chifwick, O'Clock
in the evening, of which the following is co.
pg, was received by one of his particular friends
in town:
" Mr.. Fox is mn Vrry H. bn bis bne is ra-
Ter Rronger than rcferday. d. CLINE"
Notwithlla nding thefe repeated anurances of
his being itI alive, the rumour of his death had
not ceaied the whole of yeferday and Ian night.
Lord Robert Spencer left town at feven O'Clock,
lait evening, for Chfwck Lord Holland and
| Vfcount Howic were alto there, and propofrd
to remain during the night. Mr.. Sheridan came
to town the morning, and was unrcmitting
10 his enquiries during the day. At IL o'clot k
lait night he went to Devonlhire Houfe, and
from thence to Chifwick, from which place he
returned at five O'Clock this morning. Thefc
proofs ofthe attachment of Mr. Fox's friends,
Thew the imminent danger in which they conf
| dered him. During the early part Of yeferdsy,
Sir Francis Vincent, Mr.. Fox's Secretary, had
| ieveral interviews with Vifcount Howic. They
probably related to MIR. Baalico, and the dif
patches with which he is charged for the Earl
OF Lauderdsle, at Paris. His departure IL only
delayed by MIR. Fox's precsrious Gate. He
was at Chifwick Yesterday, from which he did
not return till eleven O'Clock lar night. Should
Mr.. Fox furvive this day, Mr.. Bafiico will fet
OFF this night. Should the melancholy event
take place fooneT, be will Get out Immediately
after.
