Rev. !el WI W. 1 . 1. 1.% It is impossible, indeed, not to regret the policy, however well intentioned, which dictated the reserve practised towards Lord Castlereagh, in the beginning of this transaction ; or that practised to sv.trds myself in its conclusion. ' It is to Ile regretted, that the Duke of Portland should have imposed, cud that your Lmd,Mii should have itecepterl, the condition of silence, is the first consinunicatiirli between yea. It is aims to be regretted, that I should not have learnt iu July, that your Lordship Ives not party to the assurances then given to hie on behalf of Lord Cristlereagles friends in general ; and that another Member of the Cthinet, comprehended io that des cription, had, as I here since heard, refused to con cur in Them. Had I been made acqnainterl with these circum stances, I should then have resigned; and my resig nohow tottoW, et due time, have taken place wasistraat incommineme or emborrussment ; aod without Mir those questions (nv way connected with the cameo of my retirement) or subjecting toe to tho,.e mt.; II terpretatimis of my conduct and motives, which Lave been produced by the coincidence of my resit. nation with that of the Duke of Portland. . But, however this reserve may be to be regret ted, it is impossible to attribute the imkotiiro of it, on the part of the Duke of Portland, to soy other motives, ban to that wnileuess of nature which eminently distinvialied biro ; and which led him to endeavour (above all thing%) to prevent political differences from growing into personal dissensions ; and to slim at executing whatever arrangeinent might be expedient for improving or strengthening the Administration, with the concurrence (if pm sible) of all its existing members. And no man who knows the affectionate respect and attachment, which the manly and generous qualities of the Duke of Portland's mind were cal culated to commend, and which I invariably bore to him, will suspect me of being willing to establish my own vindication, at the expense of the slightest disrespect to his memory, or prejudice to his fame. I have tie honour to be, My Lord. Your Lordship's most obedient humble Servant, Gagnon Cmininsk TO TKO RASE CU4DRN. &c. Ste. Mr LORD--The statement. which has been pub lished in the newspapers, in ••aur Lorsiship's wswie, has decided a question on which I had before been hesitating, as to the necessity of au authentic de twil of t h e transactions (so far es lam coneernetl in them. or tun acquaititeJ with them) to which that stet einent refers. For that purpose, I thick a direct address to your Lordship more decorous, both towards your Lord ship and fur myself, than an anonymous paragraph in a newspaper. It is with the most painful reluctance that I re cur to a subject s which, so far as it concerns Lord Castlerengh and myself, had been settled in a man ner which is usually. I believe. considered as final. Discussions of the causes of dispute more com monly precede. than follow, the extreme appeal, to which Lord Castlereagh resorted :—And when. af ter mature consideration, his Lordship had deter miiirti to resort to that appeal in the first instance. I should have thought, that such a choice, delibe rately made, would have been felt by his friends to be equally conclusive upon them, as upon himself. But your Lordship needs not to be informed, how amitiumisly my character has been assailed by wri ters in the newspapers, eiliousing Lord Castlereagh's querrel, and sappowd (I trust. most injuriously), to he his Lordship's particular friends. The perversions and misrepresentations of. ano nymous writers. however. would not have extorted from me any reply. . lint to them succeed, il the publication of Lord Castlereagh . * Letter to sue of the 19th of September. I rotir4y disbelieve that Lnrd Castlereagh. and I distinctly deny that l niyself. had any knowledge of this public:dins. 11,0,—! ) y what means it matters ast„--the Let tarts before the world : and though the elms* ori- " And that,' during this whole period, I knew that the Agitation; and the decioion, of the question for his removal, were concealed from him : and was party to this concealment." Lord Castlereagh indeed admits, That he " has uo right, as a public man, to re sent my demanding, upon public grounds, his re inrwalTruni his once or even from the Administra tion, as is condition of my continuing a member of the GOVerllllltlli ;.! But he contends, that a proposition " justifiable in itself," aright not to hate been " executed Mud unjustitialole manner:" anal he makes me respon elide for the manner in which the " Head of the Administration," and some 11feinhers'of the Go vernment, u supposed to he his (Lord Castle repiTh'r) friend.," executed the proposition which he attributes to me.. He is ready to acknowledge, indeed, " that I pressed for a eh...closure, at• the some time that pre w4ed for a ; and' that the disclosure was wasted • Ify the I ) uke Ifjtettand-sud .hie ().wed CwalereaTfra) supposed fro&s." But, in this circumstance, Lora/ Castlereagh pro fesses not to awe any justification or what he Con ceives to hove been my conduct towards him ;—b e . cause, I.y acquiescime in the advice or intreaties of his 0. Siliorrobed friends," I adruittert an nation ty" on their part. which I must hate koown them not to pussess;"--4p-cause, by .0 pressing fur dis choose, I sheared any own 'cicaa of the " unfair ness" 0 conceriimenti--saud because, with that sense, 1 " Oa hr conceives me not to have done), .0 to have availed myself of the seine alter native,—namely, any own resignation,—to enforce disclosure, which I did to enforce decision." Without offering, n wont in tins wily of or foment. l sh , ol. by 4 de,tinet detail of facts. lib the order of their date r substantiate saiy cootratlictiou of these charges.. I shall only premise, lst.--4 . lrit I had (e• is admitted by Lord Castle reagh) an nuipe-tionuble right to require on ground% a change in the War I).•!)artment, tendering, at the saute time, the alternative of my own resignation. . _ _ . 4dly.—Willt no man at all eeTinintert with the cower of ou' o re lanai:less will dispute, that the re gular, effeciaial, and straigat-forward course for bringing that alternative to issue. was to state it directly to the a Bead of the. Administration;'— the King's Chief Nlinister, to be laid by that Nle. niater before-the King. I pmcerif to the detail of Nem. In the beginning'of April, I addressed a letter to the i)uke of Portland. containing it representation on the State of his Administration, and expressing my wish and intention, unless some &Hoge were ei fccted in it, to Reign. Cl,Oll the Doke of Portland's requiring a more 4etailed exptanation, as to the motives of my prof fered resig n ation, I stated, among other things, that a change, either in my own department, or in Lord Castlereagh's. appeared to me to be expedient for the public service. I stated my perfect willing ness that the alteriintive should he decided tor .ny retirement; and only requested that the derision might (if possible) take place before the re-eoni meneement of business in Parliament, utter the FAstrr holidays. The Duke of Portland requested me to enapend the execution of nay intention to resign . ; to have an opportunity of consulting with some of our colleagues, before he determined what adrke to lay berme the King. The Easter holidays thus passed away. On the 16th or April, shortly after his etraye's return to town from Bulstmde, the Duke of Portland ope ne d the subject to one of the Members of the embiurt, whose name, (not having been hitherto 6rought fur ward)' I do not think it necessary to menrioo.— Your Lordship is perfectly acquainted with it. By the Doke of Portland's desire, I had a corn emigration with that member or the Cabinet, a ith in n very few days after his interview with the Doke of Portland,. Ile strongly represented the (lA cell of molting any new arrangement, during the sitting of Parliament ; and urgent the to rlofer the pressing my min resignation t• 11 the end of the •es stun. Tu this recuatinendiiii.ru I did out ptv iir raise tb accede : but we agreed, (whether upon his suggestion or upon mine I am tiot confident), that, at /All events, illo step whatever couldproperly he , taken, until after the decision of the ipteetien upon the writership ; which Win. about this time wrought forward in the House of Cuitmeoes. That question was decided on Tuesday the 25th of April. . On Friday the eeth, the Duke of Portland eons• rattnicated fully with }our Lordship ; and stifoinsed me, as the restat of that communication, that your Lordship their ht a change in Lord Castlereegh's situation in the Government desirable.—pros Med ' it ci.uld be effie;ted honourably for Lord Cobb:- reach, and that it .‘ could be recuucilcii to Lerd Cardleneigh's feilingv." From this period, I understood that your Lord ship was constantly consulted -by the Duke of Portland in every step of the transaction. Other nieinbers of the Cabinet were Mao consulted by the Duke of Portland :—but, how mute of theses, or at terra recite periods, I neither Lew at the time, nor can now uncle/eela to say. .. Shortly after your Lordship's first interview with . • I the Duke of Pottland, (I am sure before the 3th of May) that Aleinher of the Cabinet with whom his Grace had first tointisunieated, reported to we a suggestion of your Lordship's of a change or Ace for Lord Castlereagh. evidently calculated ou ~ the principles which your Lordship had stated as indispensable to such a chauge. Whether this tom. snunication to me was in the nature of a direct . thessuge from your Lordship, I do not exactly know. But I understood distinctly that you knew of its being made to me; and that whatever oheervatipri I might make upon it, was to be reported to your Lordship. What I observed upon it, was in sub• idiom—that it was not fur me to presume to say what change would be proper ;—that I had done all that I had thought myself either call- ell upon or at liberty to do, is rotating to the Duke of Portland my opinions, and my i n tention to resign ;—that the Duke of Porthted alone could either propose any change, or obtain this necessary authority for carryiag it into effect ;-.-and the* I therefore recommended that Our ,Lordship should state your suggeetiou to the Duke of Portland. On the sth of May. the Duke of Portland in. formed In-, that he had determined to ley the whole subject, ou the followiug %Wednesday, briers His Majesty. Os Wednesday, the 10th of May, he informed the, that he had done so; and that His Maj.:sty had been graciously pleased to say, that he would take the subject into has eerious comiticr own. Ott Wednesday the 31st of Mny s apprehending it to be poteilde that my iittention might not have - been fully explained to Ilia Majesty, and thinking it ray dot" to !ea..* uct doold upon it, 1 hamlet : roc- , posted to His Msjesty the representatictie which 1 had before made to the Duke of Portland, and humbly tendered my resignation. I received there upon Ills Majesty's grucions cotninands, to roam my eittratiou until His Majesty should have consi dered the while subject. ..§ o loa time ;ii the course of the next week, I think on the Bth of June, the Duke of Portlaml stated to ;toe, that he had received His Majesty's comet Inds. Yo, wopitae, and to carry, into ether, sit the rut, of the Serwinti of Parliament, an arratigewent fur a pa:. tilt, change in the War Departtneut. The particulars of this arrangement I do not think it proper to detail : ft cling it my ditty to li mit myself strictly to what • is absolutely necessary fur the explanation of my owe conduct. It issuffi i. , eft to state, that the object of this arrangement sac not the removal of Lord Csdlerengli, but, a new dis. bamboo of the basitiess of the War Department s whereby that part of it C 1 hiell was connected with po. litical correspondence, would have been beinSferred to the Foreign Office; and the business °Coin:other office, then secant. would have been transferred to Lord Castlereagh. It is only necessary to add. that the effect of this new distribution would not here been to take out of Lord Castlereagh's hinds the superintesdante of the Eepedition to the Scheldt. , On the 13th of June, 1 wrote to the Duke of Portland, signifying to him that, although such no arrangement had never entered into my contempla. tion, and although I did not thick it cnlctilated to remedy ell the difficulties which had induced me In bring the state of the 'Ail iii i i tietration tinder tau Grece'e consideration. 1 was reerlyi so tar as I was temeerned, to undertake and dischar . ge. to the best of my &ability, any ditty which Iles Majesty might he gereinietly pleased to devolve upon me : but I ex pretaied at the same time, great doubts, witother' Oise arrangeractit could be expected to he secret. able to Lord Castlereagh, or (in all its parbi) stabs. factory to the public /*Mine. the 18th of Jim.. (Parliament being expected to rise on the 40th or 2lst). I 'wrote to the Duke of Portland, to inquire 'whether this iirsinge.. merit. or any other, was to take 'blare? statio.; to hi,,., that, le if things remained as they then were. I was determitteel not to remain in °Him." - In answer, the Doke of Portland inentioned to me a new plan of arraugement, altogether did . ..relit from that which he had been authorised to carry into efrret ; end stated. that he had sei.t for your Lordship, and the other Nleoulver of the Cobiort with whom your Lordship mid the Duke of Port land lied been in constant communication, to co operate with him, wt forwarding this new plan, east to urge Lord Cast:i•resigh to consent to it. The particular , . of this new plan, 1 do not rhi.,k it necessarf to state, as I kerne from the Duke of Portland, either the nett cloy or the day following it, that to this plan Lord Civt ereagh ceetaility could not bzbrooght to agree. ll'hedler this was known to his Grace onto from yrs'''.
