One fact I was very sorry to learn, that Mrs. Fry, that angel woman, was very ill. Breakfast with Mr. and Mrs.
Canning, as the organ of the ministers, put a negative upon such a measure, by saying that, if it were proposed, he should feel it his duty to resist it; in which opposition Mr. Whitbread, the organ of the Whigs, concurred.
