before taking any .step in the appointment of a tuccessor,
wt;y such haste in taking his first letter to theXing ?
Sion after he had received this letter, the letter he had
written to -the Ndbk Doke was sent back unopened,
through Lord Dudley, by whom it had been forwarded..
zo be accounted for by the message sent him
by the Noble Duke, hut not delivered, allowing him till
two o'clock on Sunday, to'do something that the Noble
Duke thought a man of sense ought to do; and this
letter probably being supposed a compliance, and not
having come to.the time—the clock hiving struck—
was returned unopened—(Hear). He immediately
wrote to the Noble Duke the following letter—

(No. 9).
Downing-street, 91 r.w. 25th May, 11129.
MY DIAZ Duct—Lord Dudley has just sent to me, unopened,
my letter to you, which I forwarded to Apsley Mouse; above five
o'clock this afternoon. •

This letter was written as soon as I was given to understand by
told Dudley, who called here after an interview with you this
morning, that his Majesty had not signified any intention of grant-
ing cite the honour of an audience. No other mode, therefore, re-
maining open to me of conveying my sentiments to the King, I ad.
dressed myself to you, for the purpose of bringing before his Ma-
jesty, in the shape of a written communication, what 1 am pre-
vented from stating to his Majesty in person.
I feel confident that you will not deny me this favour, and you
will be satisfied by the contents of my letter (which I now return),
that in writing it, nothing was further from my intention-than to
attempt to intrude myself between you and the arrangements which
upon my removal from office (for'such I have considered the re-
sult of our correspondence since your letter of the you have
received his Majesty's instructions to make.
Your letter, communicating this fact, reached me about half-past
seven this evening. I thank you for the information, and for the
kind manner in which you advert to any feeble assistance which I
have been able to give to your Administration, as well as for the ex-
pression of the concern with which you have advised his Majesty
to place my office in other hands.
Believe me to be, my dear Duke,
Ever yours very sincerely,
(Signed) • W. lIUSICISSON.

letter was the next dal laid before the King, and be.was
admitted to the honour of an audience.. a aucerssOr to
his othce having been previously appointed' • What

for him to state; but his Majesty's"kindness had made
an impression on his feelings far beyond what it was in
his power to expi'ess. The Noble Duke theu wrote him
the following letter—
