I have received a letter from Lord Londonderry which gives me reason to hope that your discussions with the Government have been brought to a conclusion to your satisfaction. I cannot express to you the gratification which this circumstance affords me; and most particularly [when] I think that I have been, in some degree, instrumental in bringing about an arrangement which is, I trust, as agreeable to you as I am sure it is beneficial to the country. I could not avoid writing these few lines to congratulate you; and I beg you to believe me, Ever yours most sincerely, WELLINGTON. LORD GRENVILLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Dropmore, Dec. 20, 1821. I think you are certainly right in what you propose to do as to your own title. I am not herald enough to see any difficulty in your son's being _commonly called_ Earl Temple, as at present; and I should vehemently suspect that any difficulties arising on that head at the College, have nothing else in view than the payment of a third set of fees. If, however, you give way to them, I should incline to recommend your taking the Marquisate of _Temple_. I wish I were not in the way as to that of Grenville; and should you and he prefer that, most undoubtedly I could have no claim to object to it; but I could not recommend it, because he as well as I should then experience, to a much greater degree, the inconvenience which already results from the confusion of Granville and Grenville. I return Lord Liverpool's letter, which is very handsomely expressed. I know nothing of French politics, and care as little as possible. I am sick of reading two or three columns about them every day in our English papers. I cannot much praise the wisdom of letting the Ministerial papers here open a battery against the existing Ministry (be it what it may) in France. You must be aware of the case of the Earl of Euston, and others similar to it. After all, I see no reason against his being called Marquis of _Chandos_, if you find it necessary to take another Marquisate, though I know no instance of the son's being called by the _same title_ as that which his father has in a higher rank; but it does not occur to me why it should not be so. MR. W. H. FREMANTLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Englefield Green, Dec. 19, 1821. MY DEAR LORD,
