JET. 35.] LIVERPOOL. 59 



expected to be much better. Many of our friends, I 

 am afraid, however, will be out amongst them some 

 of the oldest and stanchest Whigs, such as Dudley 

 North. 



" Pray let me hear, when you have a moment to 

 spare, how you are going on. Ever yours most truly, 



" GREY." 



In the Liverpool election Grey took naturally a 

 great interest, and was very sanguine in his expecta- 

 tions of success if we had only tried to carry one. 

 In connection with this subject he wrote to me as 

 follows : 



FKOM EAEL GEEY. 



"HowicK, Oct. 4, 1812. 



"DEAR BROUGHAM, Nothing could be more grati- 

 fying to me than your letter. I am not good at 

 professions, but pray be assured that all the feelings 

 you express about co-operation in politics are fully 

 returned by me. There is no person with whom I 

 feel a stronger desire to cultivate and secure the 

 closest and most confidential connection, both poli- 

 tical and personal, than with yourself : but enough 

 of this. 



" It gives me great pleasure to hear that your 

 prospects are so fair at Liverpool. You could not 

 have an opponent against whom I should not wish 

 you success, with very few exceptions indeed ; but the 

 opponent you mention will render your triumph doubly 

 gratifying. I suppose the Prince is anxious to make 

 him entirely his own. You know the drawbridge 

 and the rockets were to be the great instruments of 

 security in the new park against the mob. Tarlton
