Ever affectionately yours,
C. W. W.
LORD GRENVILLE TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.
Camelford House, July 3, 1823.
I most heartily join with you in taking joy at what I consider as the triumph of the cause of freedom in the Peninsula;—having read enough to know, and having seen enough to observe, that of all possible tyrannies—and I cordially hate them all—the most contemptible, corrupt, and cruel is the tyranny of absolute democracy, most especially when resting, as in Spain and Portugal, on that new instrument of freedom, a mutinous and self-governed army.
Your friend Sir Robert[118] ] makes a pretty figure in this puppet-show!
THE RIGHT HON. CHARLES W. WYNN TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.
East India Office, July 3, 1823.
My dear B——,
The last judicial appointment which I made was about a twelvemonth ago, of Sir Edward West, to be Recorder of Bombay. As soon as the Bill for establishing a new judicature there shall receive the Royal assent, he will be nominated Chief Justice.
