No. 52.-Minute of Mr. CANNING'S Proposition to Lord LI VERPOOL, dated Fife-house, Aray 23, 18.12.' The Princeltegent having laid his commands upon Lord Wellesley to form a plan of an Adrni nistration, to 'be submitted for his Royal High ness's approbation, Mr. Canning was requested by LOrd Wellesley (as the channel of t ommuni cation thought likely to be most agreeable to Lord Liverpool) to inquire of Lord Liverpool, whether there would be a disposition on the part of Lord Liverpool, and of his Colleagues, or of any of them, to . entertain any proposal which should be made to them for forming part of that Admini _ stration. • " The principles upon which the Administration was intended to be formed were stated . to be, lst. The taking into the early and serious con sideration of the Executive Government the state of the laws affecting the Roman-Catholics, with a sincere and earnest desire to bring that import ant question to a fiaal and satisfactory settle ment. 2dly. The prosecution of the War in the Pe ninsula with the best means of the country. It was stated, that there would be the strongest wish to comprehend in .the arrangement, without any individual or party exclusion whatever, as many as poisible of such persons .as might be able to agree ii. giving their public services to the country WI these two principles. With respect to the distribution of offices, it was stated, that nothing of any. sort was' decided or stipulated ; but that every thing would be open to be arranged to the honour and satisfaction of 1 all parties. No. 3.--Memorandum for Lords GREY and GRENVILLE, dated May 24; 1812. • In such a moment n the present, we feel it to be the duty of ail public.-men, both by frank and conciliatory explanations / of principle, and by the total abandonment of every personal objection, to facilitate, as far as maybe in their power, the means of giving effect to the late Vote of the House of Commons, and of averting the imminent And unparalleled dangers of the country. Lord Wellesley has selected twii, among the many important subjects which must engage the attention of any men, who could, in- such.circum stances, be called upon to consider of the accept:. ance of stations of public trust. On.those two points our explanation shall be as distinct as it is in our power to make it. On the first, indeed, our opinion is too well known, and has been too recently expressed, -to need repetition. We lave derived a very high gratification from Lord Wellesley's powerful exertions in support of the claims of- the Roman Catlthlics 4 as well as from the manner in which that subject is advert ed to in his minute ; and we'd() not hesitate to assure him, that we wll warmly support any pro posal made by any Ministers, for the immediate consideration ofthose claims with a view to their conciliatory adjusiment ; a measure without which we have declared., that we can erktertain no hope, in any case; of rendering our own ser vices useful. . . As - to the second p'Oint, no per Son feelS more strongly than we do the advantages which, would result from a .Successful termination of the pre . sent contest in. Spain. But we are of opinion, that the direction, of military operations in an ex tensife war, and the more or less vigorous prose cution of thOse operations, are questions not of principle but of policy ; to be regulated by -cir cumstances in their nature temporary and &Lau ating, and in many cases known only to persons in official stations . --by the engagements of the country, the prospects of ultimate success, the extent of file exertions necessary for its attain ment, and the means of supporting these efforts without too great a p ressure on t h e finances and internal prosperity of the country. On such questions, therefore, no public men, whether in or out of office, can undertake for more than a deliberate and dispassionate Consider ation, according to the circumstances of the case as it may appear, and to such means of informae tion as may then be within their teach. But w, cannot in sincerity conceal from Lord Wellesley that, in the present state of the finances, we en tertain the strongest doubts of the .practical bility of an increase in any branch of the public expenditure. Ok a Communicaiion made by Lord Wr.i.r,rs Lnir to Lords GREY and * GitEm - It4,E, at•Lord(iilLY'S Houk, dated May 23, 1812: Lord Wellesley stated ; that he had refl•eived the Commands of his Royal Highness the Prince gent, to lay before his Royal Highness the plan of such an Administration, aS he. (Lord Welles ley) might deem adapted to the present crisis of afiirs. That he had apprised his Royal Highness of ' the necessity of ascertaining the views and dispo sitions' of all parties with regard fo certain gene . ral principles, previously to the formation of any such plan. That he considered himself merely as the in strument of executing his Royal Highness's com mands on this occasion ; and that he neither claimed, nor desired for himself any station in the Administration, which it was in his Royal High ness's contemplation to forti - 'L . Under these circumstances, he requested to, know, whether any obstacle existed to the con currence of Lords Grey and Grenville, or their friends, in the following general principles, as the basis upon which au Adminstration might be formed := . First, That the state of the laws affecting the Roman Catholic, and the, claims'of that body of his-MajeSty's subjects, should be taken into im mediate consideration, with 'a view. to a concili atory.adipstinent.of ;those claims.; - Secondly, That . the war in the - Peninsula should be prosecuted on a scale of adequate vigour. Lord Wellesley stated, that as Mr. Canning and lie agreed in these principles,- he had requested Mr. Canning to communicate them to Lord Li yerpool. Lord (Wellesley reduced the substance of this communication 'to'writint2,-, and.now submits it to Lord grey and Lord Grenville.

No. 7... -u-Letter from Lord LIVERPOOL to Mr. CANNING, dated Fife-house, May 24, 1812. - - MY DEAR CANNING, I have this moment received your answer to my letter of last night. As that letter was not written without all due consideration, I do not feel that it'can be neces sary for me to call my Colleagues again together upon the subject of it, I can dris-ffer, however, for myself, (and I aril confident equally for them), that am not actu ated, in declining the proposal made to us, by any objection of a nature purely personal. But when I advert to the opinions and statements recently sent forth to the world respecting public men with whom I have been connected, and public meEt. sures in which I have been engaged, I do not feel that I should have acted consistently with my own honour and character, or with the respect which I must ever owe, and shall'•ever feel, to my de parted friend, if under such circumstances, I could have consented to have entertained the proposal. which you were authorised to submit to inc. As these considerations afforded an insuperably obstacle to my becoming a party to the proposed arrangements, I thought it wholly unnecessaryto enter into any explanation on the two principles on which the Administration is stated as intended to be formed, or on other points of the greatest public importance, and I must protest against any inference whatever being drawn from my silence in this respect. I can assure you that I am tnost.willing to ren der you every. degree of justice for the motives which have dictated your answer to my letter. And I remain, with sincere regard, &c. . <Signed) LIVERPOOL. No. F2.—Letter of Lord GREY to Lord WELLEsi.2.Y, dated Portman}-square, May. 27, 1812.

MY DEAR LIVERPOOL, I have received your letter of last night; which I will inunediately tra,tAnit to Lord Wellesley. Before I do so, however, and of course, there fore, without Lord Wellesley's consent or privity ; . I cannot forbear suggesting to you to consider, whether the sort of personal objection which your letter 'evidently and exclusively implies, Will stand fairly before the country, at such a mornezt, as a' justification for refusing to act ib an Adrhinistra. , tion, to the public principles of which you do not feel, or at least do not. state„ any insurmountable repugnance. • I would suggeSt to you further to consider, wile tiler, resting your refusal On an objection merely personal, you do quite justly either by yourselves or by the individual concerned, in leaving the precise nature of that objection wholly unex plained. In offering these suggestions, I perhaps exceed the limits of a correspondence shell as ours, is; upon this occasion ; but they strike me Ad torsi. bly, that I think I owe it to you, not to withhold them.• Whether to Communicate them to yowl colleagues or not, I leave entirely to your discre 7 tion 3- but you; at least, will not resent ; so far as you are yourself concerned ; A freedom which may be justified by that regard with which I ever, &c.
