he would have kept it back from them out oppert
respect, from t persuasion that they would korn
to give up the assertion of a principle, and avga
themselves of the resignation as a subterfuge to
sin( nth their way to power.
Lord Eascoist regretted that he had not for%
seen the possibility of a difference in the constrtrctrq
of the minute, or he would have taken care that his
Noble Friends should have clearly understood each
other. He did not however think their difference
very considerable. Lords arey and Glenville mutt
have adverted to all the circumstances of last year
and of the present, and of the manner in which she
proposal came to them, and it was incumbent npoe
them to see that they had all the securities that had
been usual upon changes of administration, to enable
them to carry on thi: functions of government with et'.
fect. The removal 01 the Household was to be pan
of the new arrangement, and could not be proposed
to take place till the new Ministry was formed. lie
understood that the first act cf the new Administre.
tion must necessarily be the removal of those offices&
The question was proposed from excess of candour,
because it was known that Lord Moira had strong
objections to it. Lord Moira had the power to make
or to refuse to make the Administration, and hoes
the words of his answer, that " he coed not coNeVa
ie

sibh in the formation of the Administration," he
agreed that he thought. Lord Moira must have rM
derstood, not that the removal was to he proposed as
a previous stipulation to the Prince, but as a prase
stated to his Lordship as tcrbe a fundamental and
necessary part of the new arrangement when it should.
be formed.. The Noble Earl (Lord Moira) objected
to it upon two grounds, that it would give counts
mance to the calumnies which had been circulated
with respect to the Prince, and also that it would en.
courage the slanders against those whom his Ito/al
Highness was particularly bound to protect. That
with the knowledge that such removals were to be
the first act of the Administration, he could not coo.
cur in forming it, and he therefore put an end to the
conversation.
