lly every man who attacks a newspaper there, does, under our
blessed system of newspaper government, expose himself to a
lottery, the chances of which no man can foresee, and out of which
it would be much more desirable to keep himself. But, then, in this
as in other cases, one may be driven to the wall, and obliged to do
that which in itself one is far from wishing. That this is the case
in this instance, certainly seems probable, and if it is, the
decision is one which you alone can take for yourself; though if my
own judgment were fully satisfied either way, I would certainly not
hesitate to let you see it.

Ever most affectionately yours,

G.

THE RIGHT HON. CHARLES W. WYNN TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.

House of Commons, May 23, 1822.

MY DEAR B----,

I left your letter at Lord Bulkeley's house, and afterwards meeting
him, urged him as strongly as I could to give his proxy, which, as
he is applying to me for a cadet-ship for a Welsh lad, I could
press further than I otherwise should. I am sorry to say, however,
that I could not boast much of my success. He talked of the
violence and bigotry of Carnarvonshire, which I do not believe
really weigh with him, as they were more violent and bigoted when
he formerly voted for the Catholics; but I believe the real reason
is some promise which he has made to his wife. I cannot learn where
Lord Torrington is in town, as he has no regular town house, but,
as I am told, takes his letters at the House of Lords; so I have
there left it for him. I spoke to Lord Cassilis about your proxy,
which he will willingly attend to hold if necessary, but had
expected you rather to give his.

The new votes mentioned besides Lord Caledon, Lord Gosport, and
Lord Clare, are Lord Gage, Lord Lucan, Lord Glasgow, Lord Wilton,
Lord Maryborough, Lord Ormond, and I think Lord Suffield (but I am
not sure which way the late Lord voted).

Ever affectionately yours,

C. W. W.

Frankland Lewis had a bad fall yesterday in the park, and was a
good deal bruised, but did not, I hope, suffer materially. Lord
Lonsdale had a worse a short time after, and broke two ribs and his
collar-bone.

LORD BULKELEY TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.

Englefield Green, May 27, 1822.

MY DEAR LORD DUKE,

It is certainly most true that I promised you
