tint independence. His Grace has acted on the oc-
cation with the spirit which might be expected from
.a descendant of the immortal Russell. Ile has re-
signed his commission of De?uty Lieutenant. The
following is a cope of kis Letter on the °mildest, ad-
dressed to Lord Grantham :
" W.horu Abbey. Feb. 11. 1818.
" MY Loan,—Perceiving, by the casette of Sa-
turday last, your Lordship has bees appointed Lord
Liestenant of the County of Bedford, I avail myself
of the earliest opportunity to resign into year Lord-
ship's hands the Commission of Deputy Lieutenant,
which I bad the honour to receive 90 years age,
from my seined and lamented friend loird ()wry.
In the motives which have urged me to this step, I
bag leave distinctly to disclaim say feelings personal
to your Lordship ; bet there is m reasonable pride
which forcibly admonishes sorry upright and inde-
pendent mind, when a stigma is attempted, and es-
worthily, to be out on a man's character, that it is
a duty which ho omits to himself, to endeavour to
stand cies, in the estimation of the virlooas and on-
prejadiced part of menitiod.
" On the death of my grandfather in 1771, Lord
Ossory accepted the Lieuteneacy of this County,
an intention of resigning it .wlieu my brother
became of age ; he held the office, however, from
Asst. period till the day of his death, verions .seems
occurring at different times. to prevent ,xis resigning

.any; time, or io.the least degree bearing on
the character or rinalificalion of bill,-wba, be else
most anxious should tamped him in the office: Lord
Ossory more than once •rged.rne to feliese him from
the labours of the Lituneoancy, ,and I now moss
truly rejoice that his resignation ~was delayed, and
that his mind was spared the pain. he would have
perionced, in seeing me,„whem he honoured will! hie
