The late DukW" wa3 .tib^'f' stantly pressed, and by no, one m,.qy§,; j thau : by : Lord .Wolseley, to.-pall in..* ';]•,! shprthaod writer, and to repeat a,XL;s he: knew about his father; - c< No, no f he! invariably replied, '* it shall die with me," Neither would he for a moment give hie consent -to ha YO l the vast amount of correspondence 'addressed to, and. written by hia father examined. His, old anil intimate friend, General Charles Forster, of the-?ln,dian Boards oftea begged to be turned loose amoag the papers and letters of the firaf puke; but he was always met with 8 steady . refusal. It to be hoped that th« J " : third Duke will not withho.d 1 them from the world. They are believed to* contain relevations as piquant and as instructive as the Talleyrand Memoirs, which have not yet been : allowed to tee the' light.-r-Truth. I j
