Vansittart's retirement from the Exchequer is indispensable, and if Castlereagh does not himself take the office, Huskisson is the only candidate for it whom I should think likely. Canning would be objected to by Lord L----, and Robinson is wholly unequal. All this, however, is premature, and till we have more data to reason upon, a mere useless consumption of ink and paper. Meanwhile, the state of Ireland seems to show that the blessed conciliation effected by H. M.'s visit is confined to those districts which have been illuminated by his countenance, and doubts may be entertained whether the reduction of the army may not have proceeded somewhat too far. It is not likely that as the nights lengthen they will become more tranquil. Ever affectionately yours, C. W. W. MR. CHARLES W. WYNN TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Welshpool, Oct. 12, 1821. MY DEAR B----, Henry's _beau frere_, Bob Smith, came down to Llanvorda last week with the story of a violent quarrel about the appointment of Lord Conyngham to be Master of the Horse, which the K----, when last in town, insisted on. That Ministers positively refused, and on the Sunday night tendered their resignations. That the K---- would not give a final answer, but postponed his decision till after his return, and so set out with Lord C---- in his carriage and his two sons in his suite. He also, I understand, told Henry that Canning had refused office unless we were included, which piece of intelligence makes me incredulous as to the rest, though most positively asserted, since from what you have told me, the persons in the latter story ought to be nearly reversed. The Opposition seem to think the result to be that the ball is at Lord Lansdowne's feet, which may be true, and yet he unable to take it up. There was a grand Whig dinner at Chester on Tuesday, and by calling in Wales, Lancashire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire, they mustered a hundred. Ever most affectionately yours, C. W. W. MR. W. H. FREMANTLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Brighton, Oct. 12, 1821. MY DEAR LORD,
