y, that he (C----) is not
sufficiently strong with the Cabinet to carry everything his own
way. All I should recommend to W----, and which I shall speak to
him about, is to follow the Duke of W----'s advice in going on, not
pretending to see the coolness, and leave C---- to amuse himself
with his own ill-humour.

I was delighted to hear from Wynn of his Majesty's gracious
language about you, and at the manner in which he was received, and
that you have judged quite wisely in writing to express your
feelings upon it; at the same time I would recommend you not to
press it further at present, but to see how matters go on, and
whether anything occurs previous to the prorogation. I still think
the Chancellor will go when this takes place, but not before, but I
doubt of the manner in which the law arrangements are to be made.
The Government are determined to get the Irish Tithes Bills through
if they can, and Canning told me he thought nothing could be so
dangerous or desperate as to leave them still hanging over.

You shall hear from me whenever I hear anything further.

Ever most faithfully yours,

W. H. F.

[113] Canning and Wynn.

[114] Lord Londonderry.

The Duke of Wellington, who undertook the office of peace-maker between
Mr. Canning and Mr. Wynn, refers in the course of the following
communication to the well-known verse--

"I do not like thee, Dr. Fell,
The reason why, I cannot tell,
But this, in truth, I know full well,
I do not like thee, Dr. Fell."

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.

London, May 30, 1823.

MY DEAR D----,

I received your letter of the 28th, and took steps immediately to
effect your object. Although not so important as the affair of the
same description I settled before, it is not so easy, as the
disposition and manners of the men are very different, and it will
take more time. But I am at work upon it, and have communicated
with Lord Liverpool, who agrees with me; and I recommend that
Charles Wynn should act as usual, and take no notice either of the
continuance of the contrary state of things, or of any change which
we may produce. I know there is no reason for the conduct
complained of, excepting it be the same that was given for the
dislike of Dr. Fell.

I will let you know anything that may pa
