that
he is in too bad health to continue, and that he must resign.

The Radicals, as you see, are all trying to make out a mob case for
Sir R. Wilson, but the army, I am told, is well pleased at his
dismissal.

Ireland is, from the account of a very intelligent friend of mine,
in a worse state than ever; and unless vigorous measures are soon
adopted there, no authority will remain in the country.

Yours affectionately,

My brother is not here, but I have sent him your letter. It is not
easy to advise you on a matter so much depending on feelings into
which you alone can thoroughly enter. But, as a mere question of
interest and convenience, I should think, on your statement, that
delay was advisable.

I got, some time since, a circular notice of a new club, and a
proposal to include my name amongst its members. I disregarded it,
as I have long done all such offers, having as long ago as when I
married, discontinued all attendance on clubs.

But I had another letter some days since, by which I see that
T----'s name is on the committee, and this has revived a notion
which I had at first, of suggesting to you the very great political
advantage which you and Charles might derive from the formation of
some new establishment of this sort, which might relieve those who,
with you, might hold a middle course, from the necessity of a
society in either of the extremes of Brooks's or White's.

I well remember the very great advantage that Pitt derived from
Goosetree's, previously to the time when we took possession of
White's. If you like any notion of that sort, and think you can
make anything of it, or if it would in any way be at all gratifying
to T----, I will most willingly send in my name; if not, I shall
decline as before. Pray, therefore, let me know what you wish.

RIGHT HON. THOMAS GRENVILLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM.

MY DEAR LORD B----,

I received last night, with a letter from Dr. O'Connor, the
"Mysterious Mother," and I have this morning ordered Coutts to
transfer to your account there 5_l._, which is the price that you
have been so good as to pay. There is a general stagnation of all
news, though London begins to have a
