The new Fox's death in 1 807, and the incapacity of the Ministry of which he had been the main strength, brought on the ministerial stage the remains of Pitt's party, along with the Pittite Whigs — a junction which by no means inspired the confi- dence which the Government had enjoyed while the great minister was its guiding spirit and all- powerful champion. In the new Ministry the Duke of Portland was the nominal head, but it included Canning and Sir Arthur Wellesley — the first as Foreign Se...cretary, the last as Secretary for Ireland ; and in observing the course of these two great men we are for our present purpose absolved from noticing the rest.

Canning was his pupil and friend, his enthusiastic supporter in speech, in Digitized by VjOOQIC DURING THE NAPOLEONIC WAR. 251 verse, in prose.
