the Office of First Lord of the Treasury.
The Duke is said to have known, some
time before, that the King had resolved
not to force the bill through the House
of Lords. His Majesty is said to have
replied most graciously to the parting
compliments of his retiring ministers.
They who have heard of the words i'll
which he directed Codrington tn 0ttauk
the Turks at Navarino, would give more
than little to know precisely the words
with which he dismissed Lord Grey.

tinued before the palace till evening,
