hold it to be inditpennable, ttat th tno-A distiriet
and authentic pledge should be given of the inten-
tion, both of the Executive Governmt..at and of
Parliament, to take this matter up as one of the
tirWineasnics of the next. To a prleeeding- of
thisqature, from The Paper signed by your Lord-
ship and Mr..Canning,l. am led to hop', that you
would not lie averse.

As. to the second proposition, the difference
which I had observed tva'_ unrch less :important.—
It is impossible to reduce a question Of this nature
to :117:y fixed principle. Whatever we can say, with
our pout means of information, must necessa-
rily be kenieral and inconclusive, the whole sub-
ject beiog left open tb future cons:lerdtion and
dec..i,jou. I can lave no hesitation in subscribing
to the proposition, that, if it shall be, found- ex-
pedient to continue the exertions we are now
making in the Peninsula, they should be Con-
ducted in thu manner best calculated to answer
their end. -, •

I have, I fear, troubled your Lordship much
more than is necessary under the circumstances of
our present situation ; and I will only add, that
if we shoUld be called upon to pursue theSe consi-
derations in their practical details, it will ,be my
most anxious wish, that no difference of-opinion
maybe found to e ist between us respecting the con-
ductto beadoptcdbv a G6vernment equally solid-
tons for the internal, peace and harmony of the Ent-
pire; and for the prosecution of militaryoperations
in such a mode as.may appear most cOnduave toour
ultimate security, Lord Grenville, to whom
communicated your Lordship's leiter, and'its
closures, desires me to expre.ls his cordial concur-
rence in this wish.
I have the honour to be,
With the highest respect,
,My Lord,
Your Lordship's very faithful humble servant, •
