Wynn has as yet received no answer from his letter to Lord Liverpool, which is rather singular. The idea is very general that Canning will not go to India. Believe me, Yours gratefully and sincerely, JOSEPH PHILLIMORE. Since writing the above I have been summoned to a _Cabinet at next door_ on the arrival of Lord Liverpool's despatch, which, of course, you will receive by this post. _Memorandum for the Marquis of Buckingham._ King's Advocate, if an arrangement can be made for the removal of the present King's Advocate, which, from his unfitness for his situation, would be a desirable arrangement for Government; Or, The promise of being Judge of the Admiralty, whenever Lord Stowell shall make a vacancy, and in the meantime to go with Wynn as one of the Commissioners (with a salary) to the Board of Control, if the duties of that office should not conflict (as I am assured they would not) with the exercise of my profession. THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Bath, Dec. 16, 1821. MY DEAR LORD, I have this morning received the favour of your letter, and I derive sincere pleasure from the satisfactory conclusion of the communications that have passed between us. I can assure you that I look forward to the connexion which has now been formed, as one that is likely to be highly advantageous to the public service, as well as truly gratifying to my personal feelings. There can be no objection to your putting yourself in communication with the Secretary of State for the Home Department respecting your title, and the time is now come when you may properly write to the King to acknowledge his Majesty's gracious intentions. I feel with you all the importance of the whole arrangement taking place as nearly as possible at the same time, and if I wish for a short delay, it is because I am convinced that Lord Wellesley and Mr. Goulburn will find great facilities in carrying the point respecting Mr. Plunket, from being able to say that the general arrangement is suspended till it can be brought to a conclusion. Mr. Goulburn is now with me, and proceeds to Ireland to-morrow; Lord Wellesley will leave London, I understand, on Wednesday, and I am to see him here on his way. I will certainly recommend to the King to make Mr. Fremantle a Privy Councillor; I shall be most happy if it is in my power to open a seat at the Board of Treasury for him. I feel he would be of great personal use to me at that Board; but I cannot be confident as to my success in this respect until after my return to town. Believe me to be, with great truth, My dear Lord, Very faithfully yours, LIVERPOOL. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Strathfieldsaye, Dec. 16, 1821. MY DEAR LORD BUCKINGHAM,
