Synopsis

A View Of The Late Negotiation; Including A Refutation Of The Statement Contained In Mr. Fox's Introductory Letter, By The Author Of Mr. Fox's Title To Patriot. View's pamphlet is a polemical critique of the late negotiations with France around 1806–1807, focusing on the conduct of Mr. Fox, the Pitt ministries, and the Marquis Wellesley in India. It presents a defense of Lord Grenville and Lord Wellesley, condemns Fox's overtures to negotiate with Napoleon via Talleyrand, and accuses the Fox party of duplicity and political manipulation. The work cites primary letters, including a purported Fox letter to Talleyrand and responses from Talleyrand and Napoleon's government, and offers a detailed narrative of the events surrounding the negotiation, the impeachment of the East India Company’s policy, and the administration of the late government. It also includes a scathing critique of the Bank of England and public finances, and a defense of British courage and constitutional order during the Napoleonic era. It is a historical-political pamphlet with strong partisan polemics.
