But I had another letter some days since, by which I see that T----'s name is on the committee, and this has revived a notion which I had at first, of suggesting to you the very great political advantage which you and Charles might derive from the formation of some new establishment of this sort, which might relieve those who, with you, might hold a middle course, from the necessity of a society in either of the extremes of Brooks's or White's. I well remember the very great advantage that Pitt derived from Goosetree's, previously to the time when we took possession of White's. If you like any notion of that sort, and think you can make anything of it, or if it would in any way be at all gratifying to T----, I will most willingly send in my name; if not, I shall decline as before. Pray, therefore, let me know what you wish. RIGHT HON. THOMAS GRENVILLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Cleveland Square, Nov. 3, 1821. MY DEAR LORD B----, I received last night, with a letter from Dr. O'Connor, the "Mysterious Mother," and I have this morning ordered Coutts to transfer to your account there 5_l._, which is the price that you have been so good as to pay. There is a general stagnation of all news, though London begins to have a sprinkling of visitors. It is supposed that Lord Liverpool put a final stop to the Paris visit by declaring that no drafts could be answered except for the direct return home; if the 29th has been again changed for the departure, it is probable that it is occasioned only by gout. I agree with you that there is no possibility of preventing the Opposition from making motions about Sir R---- W---- (as they did in Lord Cobham's case); but the apprehension which I feel is, that Government will not answer as they ought by claiming and asserting the prerogative, but by _evidence_ of _facts_, &c. &c., and if they do they will, in my opinion, do an unconquerable evil. A very intelligent field-officer the other day said very truly, in speaking of the subscribers, "what are all these _brown_ coats about? if it is a grievance, it is a grievance to the _army_, and I verily believe that there is not a single officer in it who is disposed to make any other complaint than that the Commander-in-Chief ought to have dismissed him three years ago." The subscription has utterly failed, no names being procurable except the Opposition party names that you have seen. Yours most affectionately, T. G. MR. CHARLES W. WYNN TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Llangedwin, Nov. 5, 1821. MY DEAR B----,
