6963 - Lord St. Helens to Sir Henry FitzHerbert: on his visit to Windsor, he learnt "all the particulars ... of the political warfare which had been going on since the death of Mr. Canning between the Whig and Tory divisions of his motley cabinet. You will have learnt by the papers that it has ended in a compromise, not much to the satisfaction of the Whigs, and least of all to that of Lord Palmerston, who, as you will be surprized and sorry to learn is now become the declared and zealous adherent of that particular set; and as such was supported by them in his pretentions to the office of chancellor of the Exchequer. He is content, however, to remain in his present post, the disappointment having been sweetened to him (as I understand) by the promise of promotion at no distant day to a British peerage, to which, in truth, his length of service gives him an equitable claim. And you will be the better pleased to hear of his being thus likely to succeed in this, which has been long his favourite object, both as his friend and well-wisher, and because it will save you from any more painful conflicts between private and public feelings at future elections for Cambridge. But N.B. all this is quite between ourselves." 6 September - 1827
