LETTER or THE LATE KING.—A letter written when the late
King was Prince of WALEs,and addressed to the Duchess of DEVONSHIRE, has appeared in the columns of one of our contemporaries. It states gene- rally a successful effort of the Prince to reconcile the Duke of NORFOLK and others to his own and Mr: Fbr's political conduct. The most Curious part of the letter is its extraordinary English. I believe you never heard such an eulOgium from the lips of man, pronounced, x87 this day have pronounced upon Fox, and so complete a refutation of all the absurd doctrines and foolish distinctions which they have grounded their late coa- duet upon. This was most honourably, distinctly, and zealously supported by Shi- aids*, by which they were most completely driven to the wall, and positively pledged .112=hves hereafter to follow no other line of politics than what Fox and myself hold out to them, and with a certain degree of contrition expressed by them, at their ever having ventured to express a doubt either respecting Charles or myself."
