Lord Grenville has been employed this morning in making a note of a very long conversation which the King held with him yesterday, having sent for him to his Cottage. Lord G---- had intended to have added a few words to you upon this subject, but he has such a violent headache that he has been obliged to desire me to enclose to you his memorandum of what passed yesterday. He desires that you would return it by his servant as soon as you have read it, and strongly urges me to dwell upon the indispensable necessity of no part of that memorandum being _either copied or quoted by you_. You will see that he desired the K---- to mention to Lord L---- that such a conversation had taken place; and as it occupied five hours, it will probably be very generally known that Lord G---- was at the Cottage. The way in which Lord G---- means to speak of it when it is mentioned in his presence is, that "everybody knows his absolute determination not to embark in any official business, or in any possible Administration; but that the public danger appears to be so great, that it is very natural for the K---- to wish to converse with anybody on whose integrity and experience he places any reliance; and that, instead of being surprised that the K---- should wish to discuss these dangers with Lord G----, it is only surprising that he does not extend the same discussion to many others whom he may believe equally attached with Lord G---- to the constitution of our limited monarchy." This general observation seems quite sufficient, and is, in truth, a very fair picture of all that is fit to be said in public on such a topic. My brother thought that the K---- looked thin and worn, but said that he spoke with feeling and good sense throughout the whole conversation. My own speculation is, that C---- means to oppose the Cabinet in their exclusion from the Liturgy, and that he will quit on that ground; but we shall see whether any middle course will be adopted. I think Lord G---- did all that became him in declining to advise between the two parties of Government and Opposition; and that he will have done some good if, at his suggestion, the K---- forces his Ministers to look into their situation and to ascertain it, instead of going a-shooting and revelling. Lady L---- has broken a bloodvessel. Lord Kirkwall is dead. Lord G----'s servant returns early to-morrow. MR. W. H. FREMANTLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Englefield Green, Nov. 23, 1820.
