This not very valuable gift was all Sir Samford ever received from King Ferdinand.
t If General Whittingham erred in his opinion of King Ferdinand, and of his popularity at this time in Spain, he erred in good company. In a letter dated * Madrid, 25th May, 1814-, ' and addressed to Sir Charles Stuart, the Duke of Wellington writes, * you will have heard of the extraordinary occurrences here, though not probably with surprise. Nothing can he more popular than the King and his measures, as far as... they have gone to the over~ throw of the Constitution. The imprisonment of the Liberates is thought by some, I believ6 with justice, unnecessary, and it is certainly highly impolitic ; 234 MEMOIR OF SIR S. F. WIIITTINGHAM.
To his Brother-in-law.
' Madrid, 23;- J May, 1814.
' The King of Spain continues to distinguish me by every possible mark of attention. I expect daily the commission of Lieutenant-General.
' The King and the Infante Don Carlos, are anxious that I should remain in their service : but they know not of what materials my heart is composed, and that I prefer the love of my best and dearest friends to all the glory in the world !' Lieutenant-Colonel Whittingham, for he now usually reverts to his British rank, determined to return to Eng- land ; but before leaving he desired to obtain from the great Duke, ' never prodigal of praise^' some more decided opinion as to the merits of his services in Spain than was to be gathered from the many strong but indirect proofs of confidence which had been hitherto vouchsafed to him.
