“The town will have it to-day that all is settled—Canning Minister, and that he has received the King’s commands to form a Govt. on the same principles as the last; . . . yet I don’t believe it, because Tankerville dined yesterday with the Duke of Wellington, who told him that all was still at sea, and that he—Tankerville—knew just as much how it would all end as he—Wellington—did. Now we all know that, with all his faults, Wellington is precisely the man to speak the truth upon such an occasion without either design or humbug. I would stake my life it was as he said at the time he said it. . . .”
