part of this transaction may he publicly cativas,ed hereafter
it is of the utmost importance to my homier, without which
I can have no happiness, thee my eoirdsiet in it ahatl be
fairly reprerenteil, and correctly understood. Whew Ima to
• tender of my service. to hi. Majesty's Ministers, it
with • just and natural expectation, that my offer would have
been accepted, is the way in which alone it could have bees
moo hearth-int to my country, or creditable to myself; on
if that Oiled, that at least (its justice to me) the teasers
fur a refits., would have been distioctly stated ; so that the
nation might be satisfied, that nothise had been omitted us
my part, and enabled to judge of the validity of the reasons
assigned for such refusal. 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. In all these arraugeinente,

yields to mute bat that of the sing. is disregarded, omitted ;
nut err/rice. rejected. 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. They are now is your view, and I think
cannot fail to make a due impression.
