I am sorry to say that in consequence of William Hill altering his mind and declining the Under-Secretaryship, the intended promotion in the diplomatic line which was to have opened Copenhagen to Henry is stopped, and Canning now strongly presses his removal to Stuttgart with the same rank and salary, with a view to an arrangement by which the missions to Switzerland and Frankfort will be reduced to a Minister Plenipotentiary, with about half the present allowances. This I think, though by no means pleasant to Henry, he ought to accede to, both for the public benefit and the gratification of his immediate superior, it being clearly understood that he is to be considered as entitled to promotion on the first occasion. Canning is very gracious and confidential. He certainly wishes in no moderate degree to get his friend Huskisson into my particular office, but would be quite willing to give me any other I chose in exchange which he could obtain, but as I really prefer it to any other which could be given to me, except that of Secretary of State, or possibly the Admiralty, if there were no better claimant, I do not see any probability of his wishes being gratified _a l'aimable_. It is most vexatious that, in spite of all admonition, the _Courier_ persists in its warlike tone and justification of the interference of the Continental Powers in the internal affairs of Spain, in opposition to all the known views and declarations of the British Government. Of this I have given a hint, and desired that it may be noticed in the next. With respect to France, I can tell you hardly anything which you do not already know. They continue assurances of their pacific intentions to us, and it seems clear that Montmorenci resigned because his note was deemed too warlike; and yet one can scarcely conceive how it could have been more likely to create a rupture than that of Villele, particularly followed up as the latter has been by the very offensive step of giving it publicity in the _Moniteur_ within forty-eight hours after it had left Paris. It cannot be denied that this note so published is in itself a legitimate ground of war to Spain if she chooses to avail herself of it C---- believes that she is not yet sufficiently ready, and will prefer remaining at peace. Meantime she has made the greatest haste to grant all our demands which had been so long pending, and to promise immediate satisfaction on our different grounds of complaint. Ever most affectionately yours, C. W. W. I agree with you in thinking that the Indian Juggler has disappointed expectation most lamentably, and I fear that we must say the same of _our_ own friend, who seems to me a _Diabolus Domini Vice Regis, tout comme un autre_. THE RIGHT HON. CHARLES W. WYNN TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.
