My morning engrossed by accounts. for the past quarter, as well for the legation as for myself. I then went in the carriage to the city and adjusted my matters with Messrs Baring, brothers. This done I came home and made a draft of my principal Despatch home for the week. After which a walk. My spirits quite variable. For although later details seem to confirm the success of our army at home, it is such as to leave open a long vista of future war and slaughter. Evening quiet at home. Read Rose.
