ectly well, conscious of what is going forward, and
restrained from acting himself only by the apprehension of a
relapse.

You will already have seen and considered what I have said to you
on the subject of remaining. You cannot form to yourself an idea
how universally it is the wish of all who wish for your own
personal credit, and of all who are interested for the credit of
the party, that you should remain in Ireland so long as to make it
appear that you have thoroughly weathered the storm. Your session
need be but very short indeed. The uncertain state of everything
since November last, is an ample apology for not being prepared
with other business, and for deferring it till another year. But
the leaving it in the middle, would convey the impression that all
this difficulty had been personal to yourself, and that you were
the only obstacle to the success of English Government in Ireland.
Directly the reverse of this proposition is, I am convinced, the
truth; but it is a truth which it is of the utmost importance to
yourself to establish in the general and public opinion in this
country. You have great advantages for this, from the general
disposition which is prevalent here to feel the strongest
indignation at the conduct which your opponents have held. I must
own it would be a severe mortification to me to see you forego this
opportunity.

You know the only motive which I can have for pressing this so
much, and how much violence I do to my own feelings when I urge
anything which may delay my seeing you again.

Ever most affectionately yours,
W. W. G.

Lord Bulkeley, in a letter dated the 24th, describes one of these
interviews of the Princes with His Majesty. The general impressions
which prevailed respecting the conduct and dispositions of their Royal
Highnesses in this crisis, may be gathered from these unreserved
revelations.

The accounts from Kew this morning are as good as possible (but I
have not got the precise words); notwithstanding, the Princes were
with him half an hour yesterday, which is a proof that his
miraculous recovery is not to be shaken. Lord Winchelsea, who was
at Kew the whole time, told me that the Prince and Duke of York,
though appointed at one, did not arrive till half-past three; and
that when they came out, they
