Part 29 (2/2)

Goulburn has written to Grant that their only difference is upon a legislative measure, and that he has no inclination at all to depart froular and constant e party, contrasted with the indecision and idleness of Grant, though they allow that abstinence froerous feature in an Irish Secretary

I fear that the country gentlemen will make a desperate effort to diminish the taxation, and that the friends of the Government are disposed to take the front of the battle

There are considerable apprehensions in Ireland of distress from the utter failure of the potatoes, which are all rotten, and of the turves which they were prevented by the wet froo to Court, Sir Scrope put into my hand the copy of your letter, and I could only desire him to call to-morrow at eleven Fremantle and I were duly sworn in, and I kissed hands as President of the Board The K---- looked glum and out of humour, but as there was no opportunity for hied to us individually, or fro Recorder's report, which I believe always makes him nervous and unco about Fre completed so that the Commission shall issue before Wednesday next

THE RIGHT HON CHARLES W WYNN TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM

London, Jan 23, 1822

MY DEAR DUKE,

I have thisseen Lord Liverpool, and received from him the offer of a seat at the India Board for Phillimore, which will be thankfully accepted It is rather odd that they do not place him at the Adet accepts a place at the Audit Board, Free Clerk come to the India Board frolas (brother to Lord Queensberry) If B Paget declines the Audit Office, Fremantle will come to the India Board, and Sir G Clerk remain at the Admiralty

As yet we have had little talk of business The general plan of business for the session will be opened to us the day after to-morrow, at Lord Liverpool's, where we all dine for that purpose

He concurred with est, of, in the first instance, bringing forward as our own ree of propriety concede, instead of waiting till it is wrung from us Upon corn I really think that the eyes of the public are beginning to open, and that a large proportion of the House of Coain ta the nonsense of Mr Webb Hall and his petitioners

I find by the accounts from Paris there is rather ht and Centre parties than had at first appeared, but there arethe military, particularly the non-commissioned officers

My uncles are extreht forward on Henry's appointht to be left only to the care of a _charge d'affaires_ At any other period than the present I should think nothing of it, and even now I do not think it can produceheld the same appointment in 1820, or till the end of 1819, and as the difference between the expense of an envoy and _charge d'affaires_ to the public is only 2400_l_, one-half of which is covered by the cessation of Henry's pension

Lord Liverpool told ent applications--Lord Hertford, &c, and Lord Waterford for an Irish Dukedom

LORD GRENVILLE TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM

Dropratulate you on the attainment of an object which you had sothe Earldom is certainly a very considerable fresh mark of favour, but I hope a very unnecessary one My newspapers have missed me for these two last days, but I conclude I a this to you by your new title

Plunket's appointment has actually been recommended from Ireland

Wellesley had indeed told me, when he was here, that he had full powers to carry that arrangeencies; and he certainly has not taken much time to do so

Saurin refuses both the Chief Justiceshi+p and the Irish Peerage, both which were offered to sweeten the pill It is said--but I know not how to credit it--that although this thing had been directed fro, the first intimation which Saurin ever had of it was subsequent to Wellesley's arrival

Tho only uneasiness I now feel is lest the Irish Chancellor should feel his consequence so much superseded by this event, as to induce him to look to his retreat, which would of necessity remove Plunket from the station where his services are nity but less ability

I feel the greatest anxiety about poor Hodson It was not till this ratified me more than his appointht to the hope that you ht be, as I am sure you wished to be, of much further use to him

Ever most affectionately yours,
