Canning has shown me the last despatches, by which it appears that
there is much schism in the French Cabinet, Villele supporting the
Duc d'Angouleme, Chateaubriand the Allied Powers and the Spanish
Regency. Magnanimity has instructed Pozzo de Borgo to consider all
communications from the latter as if they emanated directly from
himself. Metternich takes also strongly the same line, recommending
an amnesty, excepting all those who were active in forcing the
acceptance of the constitution on Ferdinand. I do not at present
apprehend any dispute relative to the blockade, as the French are
very scrupulous in keeping the law on their side, and have not yet
done anything more than they were clearly entitled to.

Ever affectionately yours,

C. W. W.

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

Wynnstay, Sept. 10, 1823.

MY DEAR B----,

Canning told me that he had insisted that Huskisson should at all
events be taken into the Cabinet at the end of the last Session,
whether any vacancy occurred or not, and that the persuasion of
Lord Maryborough to make room for him was a subsequent
consideration.

Lord M---- is much out of humour at his change of office; which he
may well be, as the Mint is 3000_l._ clear, and the Buck-hounds
under 2000_l._; indeed, they are said not to exceed 1300_l._

My own belief is that the only real and efficient Cabinet upon
_all_ matters consists of Lords Liverpool and Bathurst, Duke of
Wellington, and Canning, and that the others are only more or less
consulted upon different businesses by these four. Huskisson will,
I think, be equally in the confidence of Liverpool and Canning.

Ever most affectionately yours,

C. WILLIAMS WYNN.
