Great Britain -- History -- George IV, 1820-1830
I have been here from ten, and am going to the Aylesbury
Commission, or should have called on you. I met the Duke of
Wellington yesterday in the Park, who had been sent to by Lord
Liverpool in the morning, to discuss the question regarding Wynn
and Peel. He threw the whole blame on Lord Liverpool for not having
originally shown the papers to Peel, but said that it could not
lead to ultimate quarrels--that Lord Liverpool must interfere, and
that he, the Duke, was to see Peel _this morning_. It appears to
me, from the Duke's language, that the discussion and the
settlement of the difference must now proceed from Lord Liverpool,
as it is the complaint of Peel against him for not being apprised
of the terms on which we came into the Government. The Duke
appeared to entertain no doubt of settling it amicably, but my
object, pressed upon him, was to take care it should be done
speedily, and that no public appearance of difference should be
manifested in the House of Commons. Probably you have seen the Duke
of Wellington before you receive this. A good speech from you in
the House of Lords to-night would be more likely to strengthen us
and set us right than anything else.
W. H. F.
The Duke of Wellington had never seen the correspondence till
yesterday, when shown to him by Lord Liverpool.
THE RIGHT HON. W. H. FREMANTLE TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.
Stanhope Street, May 31, 1823.
