Wynn should take
some person with him in the capacity of a Commissioner, and we know
that Sturges Bourne has made a vacancy there; it must, however, be
understood that I am not to be a Privy Councillor, as that would

King to acknowledge his Majesty's gracious intentions.

I feel with you all the importance of the whole arrangement taking
place as nearly as possible at the same time, and if I wish for a
short delay, it is because I am convinced that Lord Wellesley and
