n take place cannot be doubted, and be
assured that Parliament _will not_ have the Whigs. Canning, it is
said, will not return to the Board of Control; and the Ministers'
followers all hold the language of change after these questions are
got over. I give you these opinions of my own, and what I hear, and
be assured there is no being more eager or more watchful of your
interests and objects than I am. I shall keep this open till I go
down to the House, in case there should be anything new.--The Duke
of Devonshire is come to town a thorough Reformist: this is a
conversion; as also Lord Fitzwilliam. It is hardly possible to
conceive that their anger should have led them to such a thorough
departure from all their old feelings and principles.

There is nothing new. Lushington was most violent last night; and
nobody believes Admiral Wood's assertion that the Queen has no
bills or debts.

Ever most truly,

MR. CHARLES W. WYNN TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM.

MY DEAR B----,

We cannot argue the question of the expediency of the original
omission, without consuming more paper and time than I can afford;
but it still appears to me--1st. That at that time Ministers had
not decided to bring the business forward, or to publish the
Queen's infamy; 2ndly. That though I am myself perfectly satisfied
of the King's prerogative, it was so far disputable as to render
such an exercise of it very unwise; 3rdly. That there could have
been no greater difficulty or impropriety in proceeding, if it
should afterwards be rendered necessary by her coming to England,
against "our gracious Queen Caroline," than against "the Princess
of Wales," prayed for the preceding Sunday. As to the phrase of
"gracious," it is a mere title of honour attached to the station,
and far less objectionable than "most religious," which _Charles
II._ was the first sovereign who assumed, and which produces little
sensation even when used as an epithet to _some_ of his successors.
Still, if they were mealy-mouthed, they might have inserted "Her
Majesty Queen Caroline." I should also have wished to have sent
a yacht, or suitable conveyance, to bring her over to her
trial,--just as, if she had been found guilty on an impeachment,
and sentenced to transportation, I would not have despatched her to
Portsm
