Summary
Sending him "...the enclosed, just publish'd which in my humble opinion is one of the cleverest productions written - I hope you will be as much delighted as every one here is - Lord de Grey has refus'd Ireland & accepted the First Lord of the Admiralty, a situation he has been ambitious of all this life - Lord Aberdeen makes way for him & goes to the Colonies - The Whigs are outraged & call Peel's address all Hypocrisy - all the Ministers dine with the K tomorrow."
