ll abstainment from all connexion with him.

Things look a great deal better than they did, though the K----, I
should fear, is not quite in the good humour he was. He dislikes
the journey to Scotland, and I have no idea why they plagued him to
take it (which is said to have been the case). The intention is now
only to stay in Scotland ten days, and visit no one. Peel and Lord
Melville are the Ministers who attend him. He is to make a public
entry into Edinburgh, but to live entirely at Dalkeith House.

I don't know the names of all his retinue in the yacht, but Lord
Fife is invited to be one of his companions, and goes accordingly.
The Marchioness of C---- is going to Ireland, by Scotland,
therefore I should not be surprised if _accident_ brings her to
Edinburgh, about the same time.

We shall not adjourn this House till Friday week. I shall get out
of town on Tuesday, I hope. Everybody but Hume and Bennett are sick
to death of it, and literally every other Opposition man gone out
of town.

I hope your sailing has done you a great deal of good, and that I
shall have the pleasure of hearing you are quite re-established.

Ever most truly yours,

W. H. F.

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

East India Board, July 26, 1822.

MY DEAR B----,

It was yesterday determined that Lord Londonderry should attend the
Congress at Vienna, upon which subject _strict secrecy_ was
recommended; but it was observed that it had on Tuesday night been
communicated by Lord Francis Conyngham to all the ladies at the
opera-house.

We have accounts of the Prince Royal of Portugal having been
addressed to take on him the title of Perpetual Regent of Brazil,
to which he graciously consents, provided it shall appear to be the
will of the people. The probable consequence will be his exclusion
from the throne of Portugal, which there has been already a strong
disposition to pronounce.

The Cortes of Spain, though in possession of full evidence of the
King and French Minister's share in the late attempt of the Guards
to effect a counter-revolution, and even of his having placed each
of his Ministers in separate confinement during the whole of the
night of the attack, seem to think the time not yet ripe to get rid
of him, and therefore conceal everything.
