The papers were sharply discussing the con
duct of Earl GREY and the King, in regard to the
disappointment of the nation, by the refusal Of
the Crown to create the peers On the one hand
it was contended that Earl Grey had trlfled with
the nation, by allowing it to be understood thai
he had long since been clothed with full power by
the Crown, to carry the bill in his own way
when in fact, as the Minister himself stated or
the night Of announcing his resignation, he had
never applied to he King for the creation OF peers
until his defeat in the Lords on the 9TH. Or
the other hand, it was still insisted that it wa:
the King who had acted with duplieity, BY hold
ing out the expectation that the Minister shou!t
in any event have all the means the crown coule
give him. for carrying the bill, while i" the wore
of prom,se to the ear" had been broken IN the
hour of need. The Morning Chronicle. which
has been supposed to be in the full confidence o.
Earl Grey, took the latter view of the case, and
went so far on the morning Of The 18th. as to pub
lish the following copy of letter purporting t'
be from the King to Earl Grey, dated in Januar,
last, for the purpose Of proving that the Kings
views on the creation question were then differ
emit from the present ones. which led to the reslg
nation.
g WrL,1.M, r. The King writes to LORD
Grew to inform him that he has taken into his Sc
rous consideration the state and prospects OF the
Reform Bill, and is fully prepared to acqulescs
in the advice Of his Ministers to create such q
number of members as may be necessary to in
sure the safety Of the Bill in the House OF Lords
