The information which you give me of the ascendancy of the Orange faction in every department of Government, is strongly confirmed by Plunket. His view is, that if the Act against secret and affiliated societies is passed, it should be considered as the manifestation of the resolution of Government, and be followed up by a private communication that all persons in office who endeavour to evade it and continue members of Orange Lodges, should be dismissed. Canning appears engrossed in his own department, and certainly does not seem to place confidence in any of his colleagues but Liverpool. With Peel I have made much progress, and find him in general more fair, more manly, and more statesmanlike in his views than I had at all hoped. I think it clear that either Lord Wellesley or Lord Manners must be recalled. I still hope it will be the latter, but either way it must decide what the future character and bearing of the Administration is to be, and drive out one part of it. Ever affectionately yours, C. WILLIAMS WYNN. THE RIGHT HON. CHARLES W. WYNN TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM. House of Commons, Feb. 18, 1823. MY DEAR B----, In consequence of the very agitated state of Ireland, and the certainty that the debate, instead of relating to the Catholic question, would have wholly turned upon the late proceedings in Dublin, it was generally thought at a meeting which this morning was held at Plunket's, that it would be advisable to postpone it till after Easter, and in consequence, Plunket, on the application of Newport and Canning, has just deferred it till Thursday, the 17th of April. The paragraph in the _Courier_ is disclaimed by everybody, and will, I trust, lead to the breaking off of all connexion between that paper and Government. I have heard nothing more on the subject of Ireland, but have talked with some of my colleagues, who seem to feel as strongly as I do the necessity of the removal of the Chancellor. You shall hear when I know anything more. Ever yours, C. W. W. THE RIGHT HON. W. H. FREMANTLE TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM. House of Commons, Feb. 19, Four o'clock. MY DEAR DUKE,
