There are not less than five Pagets named for situations at
the Coronation." I give you all this to show the tone and temper.

I told him when he was talking over the state of the House of
Commons, that I thought if he could in the arrangement secure the
most efficient of the present members of Government, together with
your squadron, Canning, and Peel, such a Government might defy not
only the Opposition, but all the folly, or indiscretion, or passion
of the King; to which he said, "It is the only Government that
ought to be formed." Nothing could exceed his indignation and
abuse of Lady C----. He said the situation in which she was now
placed, was one she had been seeking for twenty years; that her
whole object was patronage and patronage alone; that she mingled in
everything she could, and it was entirely owing to the necessary
interference of the Government on one or two points, and the
offence given by Lady Castlereagh in not inviting her, that her
present animosity to the Government proceeded, and the consequent
difficulties with the King.

I have run on till the bell-man is actually passing; probably you
will be in town before Sunday, when I shall see you, but I am
compelled by business to go on that day. Adieu.

Ever most truly yours,

Rous is made an Earl.

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

MY DEAR B----,

Many thanks to you for your two letters. The account which
Fremantle yesterday gave me of his second conversation with the
Duke of W---- certainly bore a more decisive character than
anything which had previously passed; still, even that is

expressed in your letter to Fremantle. Perhaps I do not so much
wish as you do for Lord Liverpool's continuance in his present
department; as, notwithstanding the weight which attaches to his
character, I believe that the peculiar peril of the present day
might be encountered with greater probability of success if Lord
Londonderry were to unite that office with the lead of the House of
Commons.
