- DIARY
- I said a very few words twice.
- I have not as yet heard a surmise as to the new Lord Privy Seal.
- Lord Anglesey brought forward his motion for 'the letter of recall.'
- I mentioned this to Lord Bathurst. He thought not.
- We inserted 'the Lords _doubt not_,' instead of 'the Lords _hope_.'
- I have written to him to call upon me on Saturday.
- I wish Hardinge was in Ireland instead of Lord Francis.
- I had a letter from the Duke respecting half-Batta.
- I must say R. Gordon has done ably and well.
- I saw Hardinge and had a long talk with him about Batta, &c.
- I should say from these despatches that things do not look peaceful.
- I mentioned my Supreme Court Bill, which will be ready immediately.
- I hope to save--ultimately 60,000 pounds a year in the Supreme Courts.
- I wrote to say I would be with him at 3 to-morrow.
- I feel very indifferent about the result.
- The Duke showed the King that there had been ten candidates in all:--
- I am to see Peel on Sunday at half-past one on Indian matters.
- I am disposed to think Mr. Chaplin the best Indian for the situation.
- Then we considered Leopold's answer. The man accepts provided--
- 1. There is a guarantee of the new State.
- 2. That the frontier is slightly altered.
- 4. That a loan of 1,500,000£ is guaranteed.
- 5. That he may have troops furnished to him.
- To meet this he expected
- I find they have likewise altered much in the letter relative to Batta.
- I reminded him of Lord Clare's appointment, not yet approved by the King.
- I sent all the letters to the Duke.
- 1. To depose every chief who shall harbour banditti.
- 2. To oblige them to give up refugee criminals under the same penalty.
- 3. To engage as many as possible to abandon their heritable jurisdictions.
- 4. To remit the arrears.
- 6. Troops to be brought if necessary from Cutch.
- 7. Every measure to be adopted to encourage the growth of cotton.
- I told him of the alteration in the treaty with Nagpore.
- The bulletin had 'The King had a sleepless night.'
- I think Fitzgerald would not at all dislike being made Ambassador at Paris.
- I conclude Lord Conyngham will resign, but it is not known.
- I told him of the dismissal of the French cooks, which horrified him.
- I have asked several to dine at Roehampton and go from thence.
- I do not think it improbable Hardinge may send this letter to the Duke.
- The King said, 'I see it.'
- I saw Aberdeen. He rather expects it.
- I told the Duke what passed at my interview with his Majesty yesterday.
- Croker has promised to undertake a newspaper, probably the 'Star.'
