expressed.

I know nothing of French politics, and care as little as possible.
I am sick of reading two or three columns about them every day in
our English papers. I cannot much praise the wisdom of letting the
Ministerial papers here open a battery against the existing
Ministry (be it what it may) in France.

You must be aware of the case of the Earl of Euston, and others
similar to it. After all, I see no reason against his being called
Marquis of _Chandos_, if you find it necessary to take another
Marquisate, though I know no instance of the son's being called by
the _same title_ as that which his father has in a higher rank; but
it does not occur to me why it should not be so.

MR. W. H. FREMANTLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM.

Englefield Green, Dec. 19, 1821.

MY DEAR LORD,

I am much obliged to you for your communication about the Treasury.
I should certainly prefer acting under Lord Liverpool, for whom I
entertain the highest personal respect and the warmest feeling, to
a seat in the Board of Control; and I feel, moreover, that I could
be of more use in the one than in the other. I am also much
gratified by the intention of recommending me for the Privy
Council, but I would by no means wish for such a distinction unless
I held one of the offices to which I have alluded, and which were
distinctly named to me by Lord Liverpool as open to your
nomination.

I won't worry you on my concerns more, knowing how much discussion
this whole subject has created.

Ever truly yours,

W. H. FREMANTLE.

MR. W. H. FREMANTLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM.

Englefield Green, Dec. 21, 1821.

MY DEAR LORD,

I never for one moment doubted your kindness and friendship towards
me, which I have always felt, and on this occasion I was sure you
would keep Lord Liverpool to his engagement; but in looking at his
letter you will see that it is very vague, though probably he did
not mean it to be so, and I wished you to be aware of this in time.
I am quite sensible to your particular attention to my extra object
of Privy Council, which I was so anxious for you to press because
it was not stipulated. I am quite sure it will all end right, and
whether it is Treasury or Control I care little, but on the grounds
which I think would be most advantageous to you.
