Henry IV.'s Queen, crowned--not with him. Henry V.'s Queen, ditto. Henry VI.'s Queen, not crowned with him, but alone. Henry VII.'s Queen, crowned long after him. Henry VIII.--Some of his Queens crowned, some not. Charles I.--His Queen not crowned at all. Charles II.--His Queen not crowned at all. George II.'s Queen, or George I.'s, I am not sure which, not crowned at all."[65] [65] Twiss's "Life of Lord Eldon," vol. ii. p. 43. On the 21st of May a feeble attempt was made in the House of Commons to bring forward the pretensions of the Queen to share in the approaching State ceremonial; but the firm language of Lord Londonderry, and the apathy of the House on the subject, set the matter at rest. MR. W. H. FREMANTLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Stanhope Street, June 4, 1821. MY DEAR LORD, The coronation is fixed (_decidedly so_) by the Government to take place previous to his going to Ireland, and a fortnight after the close of the Session: two days afterwards he starts for Ireland, and embarks at Portsmouth; and on his return from Ireland, he goes to Hanover. This is all arranged at present, and the Ministers have agreed to it. With the exception of the coronation, all the rest may be subject to change; but I am quite sure the coronation is determined on. Prince Leopold was to have started for Germany on Friday, to see his mother; but has put it off, in consequence of this decision, as he could not be back in time. Canning leaves Paris this day for London. Parliament--that is, the House of Commons--is expected to be up on the 25th; and I think it may. There is no other news. Ever yours truly, W. H. F. There are to be two Parliamentary Commissioners--Frankland Lewis and Wallace--for this Irish examination, and three other Commissioners; salary, L1500 (to Parliamentary Commissioners) per annum. I don't think it would be a bad appointment (one of the others) for Tom Fremantle, if I could have a chance of getting it. I suppose their salary is much less. RIGHT HON. THOMAS GRENVILLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Cleveland Square, June 5, 1821. MY DEAR LORD B----, It is evident that something has for the moment interfered to prevent the immediate announcement of Lord Sidmouth's resignation, which on Saturday and Sunday was reported upon the best authority. Lord G---- told me that Lord S---- was suddenly sent for by the King on Saturday, and it seems probable that it was to tell him to delay his resignation; indeed, as the Session will end with this month, that period would be the natural one for change. Lady Liverpool was yesterday reported to be dead, but she still lives, though she is considered as being at death's door; and I believe the Ministers are much alarmed, from their doubting whether, in that case, Lord L---- will not retire altogether.
