We shall be detained in this neighbourhood till our passports are returned from Berne, signed by the Austrian minister, which we find absolutely necessary to enable us to proceed into the _Milanese_.

At the end of five weeks at the latest, we hope to reach Geneva, returning by the Simplon Pass.

There I might have the pleasure of hearing from your Lordship; and may I beg that you would not omit to mention our Westmoreland politics?
The diet of Switzerland is now sitting in this place.

Yesterday I had a long conversation with the Bavarian envoy, whose views of the state of Europe appear to me very just.

This letter must unavoidably prove dull to your Lordship, but when I have the pleasure of seeing you, I hope to make some little amends, though I feel this is a very superficial way of viewing a country, even with reference merely to the beauties of Nature.
