Summary
Remarking that "the adjournment ... was very welcome to [him]" because it allowed him to postpone his trip to London; commenting on how he would like "to forbear, to the last possible moment, from taking any step for the Establishment of a Regency" [of George IV]; noting that he thinks "the object ... of delay would have been more effectively ... obtained by the more parliamentary & procedural course."
