THE RIGHT HON CHARLES W WYNN TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM

India Office, Jan 28, 1822, Five PM

MY DEAR DUKE,

I have this instant returned fro's Speech has been submitted The principal parts of it are the expression of hope that peace may still be preserved between Russia and the Porte; pleasure at thehis visit in Ireland; hope that it has produced beneficial effects, but regret at the spirit of outrage which has evinced itself by systematic violence, &c; determination to exert every means in his power to protect the peaceable and loyal, and referring it to the consideration of Parliament whether further powers may be necessary--_ie_, Insurrection Act; assurances of the determination to administer the law _equally and ireat satisfaction at the increasing produce of the revenue, and the flourishi+ng state of manufactures The Speech concludes with the depression of the agricultural interest, and so co the subject to the most serious attention of Parliament

I have no time to enter into a discussion of these points before the post goes out, as I only returned from Dropmore to the Cabinet, and have some other letters which cannot be delayed I am anxious to hear how soon you come up, as subjects of this kind can be considered infinitely better by conversation than correspondence

Our accounts froe's troops near Bantry, in which the forreat resolution One of the soldiers was killed, and twelve of the others There has also been a search for arreat number of other weapons This, so near Dublin, is acircumstance than the for of Freth ordered, and will appear in to-ht's _Gazette_

If you have no particular objection, I wish that you would yourself propose to Lord Liverpool the arrangeton at St Mawe's, and the return of the former for a Government seat

I think that Lord Liverpool seeot his resent for Lord Grenville iius Professor of Civil Law at Oxford I have been obliged to urge hiood deal to obtain what I have, and I therefore should not like immediately to make a new request to hih really for Sir E C----

There is a strong disposition in the Cabinet to relieve the agricultural interest, but whether this can be done most effectually by a sacrifice of taxation to the amount of 1,500,000_l_, or by an issue of Exchequer Bills, as has been done in former instances for the commercial interest, is not yet deter that the io, since which the ports have been shut, can govern the present entleman to s

Ever affectionately yours,

C W W

The reason of Frelesea is, I believe, apprehensive of contest at Milborne Port, and therefore does not choose that Berkeley Paget should vacate his seat

Would it not be as well to recommend Sir E C to Lord Liverpool for a Treasury seat as [well as] Philli the latter for the King's Advocateshi+p, in the event of its beco vacant I am, however, most perfectly ready, if you prefer it, to mention the matter to Lord L; but certainly had rather not, under the circu more for Phillimore

DR PHILLIMORE TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM

Doctors' Commons, Jan 29, 1822

MY DEAR LORD,

I have a letter from a friend in Dublin, whichin conversation which has been construed intothat he expects soon to be in Lord Liverpool's place; and as a confirmation of this, it is added, that he will not appoint to the situations in his household till after Parliament has met Have the kindness not to cite me in the _most remote manner_ for this communication The accounts from the South of Ireland are bad The White Boys have treated some of Lord Bantry's people who have unhappily fallen into their hands as Owen Glendower's Welshlish in Henry IV's time--stuck their heads on poles, &c &c

On my way here to-day I met Abercromby, who told me we should have ork in Parliament, and that the Board of Control would be attacked, as Wynn's appointht not to have been preferred to them

Of course Huskisson is one alluded to Who the others are, I cannot guess The Opposition certainly calculate on the bad huites_, and the storm which is expected to blow from the country They would wish to have it understood that on certain points connected with econo between the Boodle's _set_ and themselves; but this I disbelieve

Believe ed and very faithful,
