P.S. My confidence about the grand globe of compression
spoken of in my last, has received — and in the amplest manner —
the confirmation hinted at. Impeachment is a popgun to it. I
have sent my homage to Lord Pelham in the shape of three
Russia-bound volumes: but of MS not a syllable. —

At my last conference with Sir Charles Bunbury (it was at his house
in Pall Mall 11th August 1802) he had the goodness to make a spontaneous
apology for his inaction, from the time when the business went before
the Committee of Finance, to the time of the change in Administration.
He mentioned the resentment of Messrs Pitt and Rose at the change
they had found it necessary to make in a tax bill at his instance, as
a bar set up in two such implacable minds to the success of any
exertions he could have made: and he added, that impressed as he was
with the idea of Mr H Thornton's influence over Mr Pitt, when (as he
thought) he saw the business in Mr Thornton's hands, he looked upon
the success of it as a matter of course.
