Gentleman had denied it. He hart stated that he might have been in the Cabinet, without the privacy of his relation. A Right HOn. Gentleman (Mr. Hus kisson) had said, that he,-(Mr. Pole) had dispalyed great ability in other situatjuns.; and he (Mr. W.) was willing to allow hint the full benefit of all his talents : butlie could no more have thought that the Right Hon. Gentleman would have had a seat in the Cabinet, if lie had not been the brother of the Duke of Wellington, than he could have sup posed that the Right HOE'.

If there Were persons in debate who provoked . hint more than others, he must take ach , antage of their conduct : but he wits never put. out of humour by the Right Hon.

Lord Liverpool had sent to hint to know whe 7 ' they he would acceptof a seat in the Cabinet. He replied, that he never bad any political difference with his Majesty's Ministers, and - that he would accept of it: He admitted, thins the Duke of Wellington was desirous of his being in the Ca binet, bur that he had nor ioterfered in his ap pointment. If the Hon. Gent. thought that he owed his situation to such interference, or to the solici tations of any persOn, he was completely Mis taken ; he was not mean enough to hold 'office on such -terms. . .
