Excerpt from The Citizen, Vol. 2: A Monthly Journal of Politics, Literature, and Art; June December, 1840 Last Monday, Fox was re elected for W'estmin. Star, because no body opposed him. The populace received him with hisses, hooting, and every other mark of displeasure. He attempted to speak to them several times, but to no purpose; they were resolved not to hear him. Notwithstanding the loss of character and popularity, the coalition ministry was triumphant in parliament, until the in fluence of the king, actuated by a dread of Fox's East India Bill, was thrown into the scale of their opponents. Pitt, the great champion Of reform, was placed at the head Of the government; a dissolution scattered the discomfited adherents of the coalition; all projects of reform were thrown to the winds by the successful minister, and Romilly lived to hold Office under his opponent, and to quarrel with the adherents of that opponent, because he could not conscientiously accede to the tacit compact they had formed, of never censoring the policy of Pitt.
