The Opposition expect good divisions this week, especially on the question to-morrow respecting the Lords of the Admiralty. Some think that if the Ministers are beat on these questions they will get frightened, and advise the Prince to send for Lord Grey; but I consider such an event as hardly within the limits of possibility; and I should be very sorry that the Government should be thrown upon our friends in such times.
The Reports of the Secret Committees will be presented to-day or to-morrow. Their great subject is the extension of secret societies, and particularly Luddites; a great evil, but very little within the reach of legislation. I am just going to a splendid and dull dinner at the Duke of Gloucester’s, to meet the Cambridge deputation who are come up with the address to the Regent.
