—Your messenger gives me no time for drafting both Resolutions; for I suppose that you think of two, because Mr. Gladstone's goes for delay, yours for expedition. So I send such an enlargement, rather than any thing else, of Mr. Gladstone's, as would, I think, make it palatable to the colonists, and better understood by the indifferent public at home. If you tell Mr. Gladstone that I had any hand in it, please to add the above statement and to say that I had not time for sufficient reflection.

By to-night's post from Reigate I will send to the same address a draft of the other Resolution as you propose it.
