Having been informed in the morning by Sir Charlton Leighton that matters were finally adjusted with the D. of P., Ld N., and Mr. F., and that they were to kiss hands on this day, I immediately dressed and went to Court. The new Ministers were there. I waited in another room while the Council met, and immediately afterwards had the honour of an audience. His M. received me in the most gracious manmer, and before I could say a word began by assuring me how sorry he was for what he had been obliged to do the preceding evening, but which he thought a measure of absolute necessity as the H. of Commons had not taken any steps to prevent it. On the Monday before he told me he was determined to stay till that Debate was over. That last night (Tuesday 1st) he sent at seven to Ld N. to come at half past 10, for, says His M. though you know I do not love late visits I was determined to shew I was in no hurry to receive him, that upon Ld N.s producing the list of the Cabinet the K. asked if those were the persons the D. and he had agreed to name.
