      property as the reward of long servitude , and that thereby these islands would be placed in a state of safety beyond any which could be effected by fleets or armies . Nothing now remains for me , Sir , but to address a few words to those members opposite me , who are so

      fond of quoting the opinions of aright honourable gentleman deceased ( Mr . Pitt ) , and who profess to entertain so profound a respect for his memory . They all know , that there was no subject on which that right honourable gentleman displayed his extraordinary eloquence with more ardour ,

      than in support of the abolition of the slave trade . His speeches on ' that subject will not easily be forgotten 5 and , therefore , in supporting " the present motion , they will not only have an opportunity of manifesting their private friendship for him , their admiration of his splendid talents , and the sincerity of their zeal and

      respect for his character and memory ^ but also the opportunity of quoting him with great advantage ; added to which , they may now display all this for the public good , apd . on a subject upon which they cannot be suspected of making that respect and admiration only a vehicle for

      party purposes . Mr . Fox then moved the following resolution : — 4 C That this House , conceiving the African Slave Trade to be contrary to the principles of justice * ,

      humanity and sov&d policy 9 will , witli nil practicable expedition , proceed to take effectual , measures for abolishing the said trade , in such manner ? and at such period , as may be deemed adriseable . * [ The motion' was opposed by Gen-

      The House divided on Mr . Fox ' s motion , —Yeas , 114 , Noes , 15 . This was the last motion made by Mr . Fox in the House of Commons . About the middle of June , he became so seriously indisposed , that he was forced to discontinue his

      attendance in parliament . Symptbins of both general and local dropsy declared themselves , and so rapid was the progress of his complaint , that after the middle of July , though informed of every step taken by his colleagues iii the negociation with France , he cduld seldom be consulted

      by them on that or any other public measures till they had been carried into effect . It was at length thought necessary by his physiciaqs , to have recourse to the usual operation for his relief ! which was

      accordingly performed for the first time on the 7 th of August , and repeated on the 31 st . After both operations , he fell into a state of languor and depression , but his medical attendants never absolutely despaired of his case till Monday , the ? th of September , when he sunk into an

      alarming state of lowness , in which he languished till the evening of Saturday , the 13 th , when he expired in the arms of his nephew , Lord Holland , in the fifty-ninth year of his age . ]
