Whew Ima to • tender of my service. to hi.

In this first instance, I was re ferred to hie Majesty's will nod pleasure • and now I am informed by your letter, that befion bad appoi•ted nor to the commaud of the 10th light draguouit, he hail custard it to he fully explained to me, what his attainments were with respect to a PrioCe of Wales catering into the army." It is impossible, my dear brother, that I should know all that passed between the Kisg sod you; but I perfectly no collect the statements you made of the eurversation you had had with kis Majesty, and which strictly corresponds with that is your letter now before me. But I most, at the same time, recal to your memory us) positive denial at that time, of say cunditius or stipnletios having bees mode upon my first cominginto the army; anal am in promosion of full and complete documents, which prove that no terms what ever were then proposed, at least to me, whatever might have bees the inteutioo; and the comosonicatioas I have foetid it necessary subsequently to slake, have ever dia. claimed the existence of finch • compromise at nay marled, as nothing could be more averse to my nature, or more re mote from my mind. As to the conversation you trot'. in 1796 (when the Kiss was pleased to appoint me to succeed Sir William Pitt), I have not the most slight recollectior of its having taken place between us. My dear brother, if your dale Is tight, you must be mistaken in your exact terms,. or, at least, in the conclusion you draw from it; cur is the intimacy minfi faoliffilrity of private coaveraillho, It ti mat at elf holittolgi that I should have rensember.4 the communication you ands me the year before; but. that I should have ocepoiesesitl in, or refereed to a compromise which I never made, is snort, homiest bk. Neither in his Majesty's leiter to me, nor is the canna spondence with Mr. Additives (of which you may not kin fully informed), is there one word, nor the most distant lotion to the conditions stated in your letter; sod eons if 1 bad accepted the command of a regiment on such bream, my acquiescence could only have relation to the pettiest/ situation of the country, load sot to a case so completely out of all cur teniplstiots at that time, as the probable or project ed invasion of this kingdom by a foreign force, eneleieut to bring its safety into question. When the !Chic is pheasoll to tell use. " That should the enemy land, lie shall thigh it his duty to set as example in defence of the country:" boat to expose the only life which, fur the public welfare, ought not to be hazarded; I respect and admire the principle which dictates that reliolution; and as my heart glows with the same sentiments, I with to retake is the same Utusger, that is, with dignity and effect tt he his Majesty ap pears as King, lie acts and commands; you are Commas der-in Chief; ethers of my family are high in military sta. hen ; and eves by the last brevet, a considerable number of junior (Meer, are put over me.

Su that, is fact, lie has no past or station whitsoever, in a contest on which the fate of the C.-own suJ the kingdom may depeuil. I do not, toy dear brother, wonder that in the hurry of your present tiecnpation, these considerations should hove been overlooked.
