Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diaries and Correspondence of James Harris, First Earl of Malmesbury, Vol. 4: Containing an Account of His Missions to the Courts of Madrid, Frederick the Great, Catherine the Second, and the Hague, and of His Special Missions to Berlin, Brunswick, and the French Republic But the opposers of the measure, at the head of whom are the two Chancellors of England and Ireland, and Lord Auckland, took care that it should reach him in a way the most likely to displease him; and the King, at the Levee on Wednesday, the 28th January, the day after the measure was communicated to him by Pitt, intimated to Wyndham (Secretary at War), that "he should consider any person who voted for it, as personally indisposed towards him." This being immediately spread about, gave rise to the rumour of Pitt going out; and from what I can collect, even now (Feb. 2nd), he has not yet come to a fair explanation with His Majesty, or seen the King on the subject. In the Cabinet Lord Westmoreland and the Chancellor are decidedly against it - and perhaps Lord Liverpool, but he does not attend. The Duke of Portland hesitates, but will ultimately vote against it. Lords Grenville, Spencer, Dundas, Camden, are strongly for it - all the Bishops are against it. Feb. 5. - Dissension still very great King will not give way, and Pitt maintains his opinion. If this continue, a change must take place. The idea seems to be, not to call in Opposition, but to form an Administration of such of Pitts friends who do not think as he does on this particular point. The Speaker Jis mentioned Lord Auckland mentions himself. Feb. 6. - Same steadiness prevails on both sides - Ministers determined to go out if King does not give way; that is to say, Pitt, Lords Spencer, Grenville, Dundas, and Wyndham - others doubtful. They declare they will support any new Government, and propose one made up of Pitts friends, not thinking like him with respect to the Catholic question.
