Gentleman was placed in • the Cabinet because he
was related to the Duke of Wellington, he had
only said what he believed, and What the public
also believed ; but the R.ight Hon.. 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'. Gentleman (Mr. Hus-.
kisson) would have held his present situation, if
be had not been connected with the Ambassador
to Lisbon, who had expressly said, that he had'
protided for all his friends before -he went. 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. Gentlernen, and- hoped never to
put him out of humour.
Mr. W. Potr thought it necessary to say a few
words in defence
.of himself;_ and would state ex-
actly how he came to hold his present situation.
Lord Liverpool had sent to hint to know whe7'
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.

After some further conversation, in which it
'wassintimated by. Ministers that the only objec-
tion which existed. to the peddoccion of t'lrepa-
