THE RIGHT HON. CHARLES W. WYNN TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.
Wynnstay, Sept. 10, 1823.
My dear B——,
Canning told me that he had insisted that Huskisson should at all events be taken into the Cabinet at the end of the last Session, whether any vacancy occurred or not, and that the persuasion of Lord Maryborough to make room for him was a subsequent consideration.
Lord M—— is much out of humour at his change of office; which he may well be, as the Mint is 3000l. clear, and the Buck-hounds under 2000l.; indeed, they are said not to exceed 1300l.
My own belief is that the only real and efficient Cabinet upon all matters consists of Lords Liverpool and Bathurst, Duke of Wellington, and Canning, and that the others are only more or less consulted upon different businesses by these four. Huskisson will, I think, be equally in the confidence of Liverpool and Canning.
Ever most affectionately yours,
C. Williams Wynn.
