I have been interrupted in this long detail, and have not been able
to send my letter until this evening, the 21st. I am happy to learn
in Pall Mall that Lord Temple is so much better. Nothing new to-day
from Portsmouth; I mean, nothing authentic. Private letters say
that the mutiny is likely to subside for the present, in
consequence of the propositions made yesterday by the Admiralty.
How discipline and subordination are ever again to be restored on
any permanent basis surpasses my understanding to conceive.
