hose charges must be communicated by a resolution of the
House. What is most to be apprehended is that dexterous advocates
may awaken new questions in so novel a proceeding, and may thereby
prolong the discussion to a most inconvenient and dangerous length,
by which this state of hazardous agitation of the public mind will
be continued, and a feeling of commiseration will be excited by the
length of the proceeding, although the prolongation of it will be
owing more to the accused than to the accusers. You see every hour
of every day that "the mountain" is dragging all that side of the
house into an avowed party-protection, to be afforded before trial;
that the answers to addresses are so many appeals made to the
"soldiers and sailors;" and that the hypocritical lamentations over
the ill-judged time of the Coronation, are indulged in for the
obvious purpose of exciting the tumults which they affect to
deprecate. All this is very disgusting, and not without real
danger. I suppose your Committee, being now dissolved by its
Report, you have nothing more to do in these odious abominations,
which the Vice-Chancellor will probably have to manage.

LORD GRENVILLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM.

Dropmore, July 5, 1820.

I see nothing _prima facie_ to object to in the Report, and I am
very glad that the _doubt_ was decided negatively.

I imagine, however, that there may still be some difficulty in the
course of the proceeding, if she requires, as I suppose she will be
advised to do, that the facts of both descriptions should be more
precisely specified as to time and place, before she is called upon
to answer them in any judicial form.

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

Stanhope Street, July 19, 1820.

MY DEAR LORD,

I am passing through town in my way to E. Green, and find it not
only greatly thinned, but those remaining in a much more melancholy
mood than when I left it. The language even of the Government is
most croaking, and you may be assured the Queen's party is far from
diminishing. The City is completely with her,--not the Common
Council, but the shopkeepers and merchants,--and I have great
doubts if the troops are not infected. The press is paid for her
abundantly, and there are some ale-houses open where the soldiers
may go and drink and eat
