6" TATIMENT, &c.

" LOrd WELLVALLY expressed his intention to re-'
sign, because ha_ general opinions, for a long titee
past, o'n various important questions, had not suffi.
cieut Weight to justify him towards the public, or to-
wards his obn character, in continuing in office; and
because he had no hope of obtaining from the Cabi-
net, (as then constituted), a greater portion of atten-
don than he had aheady expetienced.

Lord WELLESLEY'S objections to remaining in
the Cabinet arose, in a great degree, from the narroio
and imperfect kale on Which the efforts in the Penin-
sula were conduCied. It .was always stated to him
by MI. PERCEVA L, that* tVal imitractitalk to (41aq e
that systern. The Cabinet followed Mr. PERCEVAL
implicitly. Lord WELLESiILY thought that it was
iterfect6f practicable is EXTEND the plan in the Penin-
sUla; and that it was neither safe nor honest towards
this Country or the allies, to continue the present con-
tracted schime. No hope etisted Of converting Mr.
Pots:AV/it, or any of his colleagues no alterative,
therefore, reinaiged foi Lord WILLLESLEY but to re-
sits, or to submit to be the instrument of a systeiit
which he ntiici ntivised, and which I.t! could not

approve.
• 44 Lostl Virattsthit hiti repeatedly, With great
reluctittce, yielded his opinions to the Cabinet on
Many Other Important points. He was sincerely con-
'inced by experience, that in every such instance he
bad submitted to opinions mote incorrect than his
own ; and had sacrificed to the object of accommo-
dation and temporary harmony, more than he could
jikalify in point of strict ptiblic duty: In fact, he was
tonvinted by enatienc e, that the Cabinet neither
poiiessed ability tior Intorledge to devise a good plan,
nor tempter and discernment to ridoitt twat he now
thought necessary, Unless Mr. Peqceirat, should cap-
Cur With Lord WerinsLev. To Mr.* PERCEYAL'S
judgment or attainments Lord WELLESLEY (under
the same experience) could not ray any deference,
without injury V the public service.
u With these Views' and sentiments, on e tl.6th3
of latnary; Lord WELLEst.Er merely desired "permis-
sion to withdraw froth the Cabinet ; not requiring

'Ay Adige in his okvn situation, and imploring no
other favour than the facility of resignation. This
plain reqUest ival notified to the Pamoz REGENT and.
to Mr. PantatTAL as nearly ns possible at the lame
moment of time; with the expression of Lord WEC-1
emutris Wish, that the &cite time of his resignation
might be accommodated to the Pleistre of his Royal
Highness, and to the convenience of Mr. PFACIVAL,
. as soon as the restrictions should expire:
146 The Palma RIGUT received this notification
with many gradous expralsinzi of regret; sad Mr.
•
1

Piaitkr it, in writing, used expressions of regret, and
also 'Of Manic for the manner in which Lord WELL:a-
tm had signified his wish to resign.
41 Mr. Paacavat, without any communication to Lord
WELLESLEY', instantly attempted to induce the Prince
egent to remove him before the expiration of the
restrictions ; and repeatedly urged tlie attempt with
great earnestness ; Severally proposing Lrrd Mom*,
Lord CASTLEREAGH, and Lord Stu:zoom, or some
of his party, to superikole Lord NVELLksLEV, without
an hour of delay. Mr. PeamvAL never gave any in-
timation to Lord WELLESLLY of these proceedings,
nor even of his wish for Lord WELLESLEY'S immedi-
aim retirement.

" The Patxct REC. EN't still pressing Lord WEtuts-
-4Y to retain the sari, he submitted to his Royal
Highness's tornmands ; dechning at the same time
his anxious desire to be liberated, as soon as his Royal
Highness should establish his government.

" When it appeared, at the expiration of the re-
strictions, that the PRINCE REGENT intended to conti-
nue Mr. PERCEVALIS government, Lord WELLESLEY
again tendered the seals to his Royal Highness v:itls
encreiPed earnestn.'ss. On that occasion, being in-
formed that his It cyal- Highness was still at liherty,
and was resolved to form his Cabinet according to his
Royal Highness's own views, and being commanded to
stare his opinions on the subject, Lcrd WELLESLEY de.
clared, that in his judgment the Cabinet ought to
be formed, fret, on an intermediary p: inciple respEct-
ing the Roman Catholic claims, equally exempt
from the extremes of instant, unqualified ccnccs-
sion, and of peremptory, eternal eielusion ; and,
secondly, on an understanding that the war should
be conducted with adequate vigour. Lord Wentes-
In said, that he personally was ready to serve
e.,144 Mr. PERCEVAL ou such a basis ; that he never
again would serve under Mr. PERCEVAL in any
circumstances. He said, that he would serve under
Lord MOIRA, or Lord HOLLAND, on the proposed
principles ; but that he desired no office, and enter-
tained no other wish than tobe instrume.ttal in forming
such an Administration for the PRINCE REGENT, as
should be consistent with his Royal Highness's ho-
nour, conciliatory towards Ireland, and equal to the
conduct of the war on a• scale of sufficient extent. He
made no exception to Sny Prime Minister but
PERCEVAL, whom he considered to be incompetent to
fill that office, although sufficiently qualified for
inferior stations. He offered to act under any other
person approved by his Royal High ess ; but he
stated, that his own views rendered him much more
anxion3 to res►gn instantly.
" The PRINCE Rr.ocs:r commanded Lord WELLES.
LEY to continue, until his Royal Highness shoUld
have communicated with Mr. PERCCYA LI through
the LORD CRANCELLOR. Lord WELLESLEY stated,
that such a communication must prove useless, but
submitted to his 'Royal Highness's earnest desire.—
In two days afterwards, Lord WELLESLEY received,
through the LORD CHANCELLOR, the PRINCE RE-
GENT'S a cceptance of his resignation, and accord-
ingly de li.vered the seals to his Royal Highness on
the 19th of February, 1912."

Of strict integrity.—Whose bosoms feel
