ABSTRACT

IN consequence of public advertisements, a most numerous company assembled at the Shakespeare Tavern, on Friday, October 10, 1800, to celebrate the Anniversary of Mr. Fox’s First Election for the city of Westminster. The house was entirely crowded by three o’clock; not a room but had a party; and the overflow in the great room was extreme. About half past four o’clock Mr. Fox entered the great-room, accompanied by several Noblemen and Gentlemen of distinction.—And, after an absence of two years, it is not easy to conceive the applause with which he was received by his numerous friends, and constituents: among whom were the Lord Mayor, Lord Besborough, Lord William Russell; Messrs. Erskine, Byng, Adair, Courtney; Alderman Skinner, &c. &c.
