Seite xi - mine own familiar friend who did eat of my bread," to think of him of all men thus conspiring against me 1' At this period of wranglings and disputes, and charges against everybody, more or less well-founded, the mischiefmakers attempted to get up a case against me, founded upon a letter I had written to Lord Wellesley. A letter was in fact written about this period, but it was of a purely private nature, and could not at any time have exercised the smallest influence on his mind. How should it...
Seite 14 - O'Connell came to the Irish Office, and I cautioned him against any unnecessary excitation of the people in Ireland until he should have seen the new Coercion Bill, which would be renewed, but with certain limitations.
Seite xi - O'Connell. The letter which Littleton had written to Lord Wellesley, and which had produced Lord Wellesley's letter to Grey of the 21st of June, was concocted, as Grey entirely believed, by Edward Ellice. Certainly he blamed him more than he blamed Durham or any one else ; and afterwards, in referring to this painful subject, he exclaimed to me, " But to think of Ellice, ' mine own familiar friend, who did eat of my bread ' — to think of him of all men thus conspiring against me!
Seite xii - ... which followed has demonstrated that I was right in my estimate of it : Sick of a Government that was urged on to make changes, of which he had had quite enough — still more sick of being urged on by that Government to consent to fresh changes ; panting for the quiet of a Tory Ministry, the natural favourite of all kings ; not relishing a set of Ministers who looked to popular support rather than to Court favour — still less liking a Ministry which almost every month spoke of breaking up...
Seite 56 - I admit to be a great one, but I do not see how your resignation will do us any good now. If you had resigned when I told you first of the decision of the Cabinet, it would have been better for yourself; but it must have broken up the Government. If you resign now you will injure yourself, and do us no good. I will show your letter to Lord Grey. I think you were quite right in making the offer, and it is possible, but I do not think probable, that he may differ from me as to the course to be pursued....
Seite 33 - O'Connell to resort to agitation and opposition to the Government. Lord Wellesley replied to this letter on the 21st June : " I entirely agree with you, and have written to Lords Grey, and Brougham, and Melbourne accordingly." He did so write in a very able and important official despatch of the same date. The same policy was approved by Blackburn, the Irish Attorney-General. Lord Melbourne and Lord Althorp said that " the clauses must, without question, be given up, as no Government...
Seite xiv - I knew that he felt most severely the proceedings of those who had influenced Lord Wellesley, and had dealt with O'Connell. The letter which Littleton had written to Lord Wellesley, and which had produced Lord Wellesley's letter to Grey of the 21st of June, was concocted, as Grey entirely believed, by Edward Ellice.
Seite xiii - ... Government, the Commons would support any one that could be formed, at least for the remainder of the session, when a dissolution would strengthen their hands. All his chance, then, of getting rid of us, and getting hold of a Conservative Ministry that could stand, depended on one of two events — either our resigning and refusing to carry on his affairs, or a vacation coming and enabling him to dissolve. Perceiving this, I acted accordingly, and for ever lost his favour till he was on his deathbed....
Seite 5 - The evils to be conquered were not of a description to which his great genius was suited, restricted as it was by the orders of the Government in England (a natural result of the heterogenous character of Lord Grey's Cabinet as regarded Irish measures) and the growing apprehensions of William the Fourth respecting their Irish policy. Could Lord Wellesley have exercised an unfettered judgment, his enlarged and vigorous mind would soon have remodelled institutions, and have put each party and interest...
Seite 48 - Grey when he moved the second reading of the Coercion Bill on the following day (July 3) in the House of Lords.
