I shall not be surprised if the evening papers obtain the result, though it may not reach Peel till to-morrow.
The war-whoop of Opposition may possibly have some effect towards frightening old Louis, and in that case it may be useful, but I trust there is little chance of its communicating its effects either in the Cabinet or Parliament on this side the water. Canning will, I believe, return in time to take his seat to-morrow.
Ever affectionately yours,

THE RIGHT HON. CHARLES W. WYNN TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.

My dear B——,
The newspapers will tell you the result of the Dublin trials, but we have had no letters, and know nothing of Plunket's intentions. The report is that the Orangemen are quite triumphant and insolent. What line C——g intends to take I do not know, but I have observed that he never omits an opportunity of quizzing the Bottle Plot, and that all his friends ridicule Wellesley on every opportunity.
Stocks are down to 73½, but we have nothing new either from Paris or Madrid.
Ever yours affectionately,
