rif. 259820 July 1824; Naples. For Hamilton 1777-1859 Treasurer of the Royal Institution and one of the Trustees of the British Museum see Boase's 'Modern English Biography'. He was secretary to Lord Elgin in Constantinople recovered the Rosetta Stone from the French and aided in collecting and removing the Elgin Marbles from Athens. 3 pages 16mo. Creased but in good condition. Begins by saying that a few years ago Stuart introduced Charles Rothschild to him 'but it was probably at the request of his brother as he has now asked me to introduce him to you'. Rothschild has been in Naples ever since: Hamilton praises his character and conduct warmly. He sends his 'last dispatch': 'This neighbourhood produces little or nothing new: whilst you are still as ever living in the vortex of politics & intrigues - of changes in constitutions & revolutions stiffled in their birth or diverted by the address of parties or the fears of kings.' 'You will very soon have an Ambassador's place to give away as M. de <Serse> is at Death's door.' A discussion of the Ambassador's illness follows. 'You have already or will soon have with you - my cousins the <Harowbys> & Ryders - who are now I am happy to say for their sakes are sic also become yours. and I hope they will spend the Autumn or Winter in Naples. It is a delightful time of the year to be here - the weather fine and the country accessible in all directions. Our steam boat <w.> Palermo bids fair to succeed admirably.' Two more sentences conclude the letter. 20 July 1824; Naples. unknown

rif. 13755Naples. 22 June 1815. 3pp. 4to. Bifolium. Addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'Charles R. Broughton Esqre Foreign Office London' and docketed by recipient on the same page 'Naples 22 June 1815 Wm. Court 12 July A'. à Court has written 'Duplicate' in the top left-hand corner of the first page he would have sent several copies of the letter in case one miscarried but the fact that this is the one that was received by Broughton is evidenced by the docketing. In fair condition on aged paper with usual broken wafer. He has received Broughton's letter of 27 May and itemises the substantial sums that Broughton has received for: 'One Quarter's Salary to April 1814 as Envoy to the Barbary States' 'Equipage Money for Palermo Mission' and 'By allowance to defray expenses of Special Mission'. He points out that 'my Barbary Pay ought to have ceased on the 5th. January 1814 on which day it was fixed by Mr. Hamilton & Lord Liverpool that my Salary was to be same as that of all other Envoys to Palermo namely £5200 pr. annum.' While his salary should have been 'issued in the regular course of payment from the Treasury at this rate' he lays out financial calculations proving a shortfall of £777 15s 0d before requesting 'that you will immediately make the necessary application to Mr. Hamilton in order to obtain a warrant for this Money & pay the same into the hands of Messrs. Coutts' adding that 'This Sum is positively my right & cannot be asked by me as a favor'. He continues: 'I might very well be justified in asking for some allowance for my very expensive and circuitous Journey to Palermo & my extra-expenses there but at present I limit myself to what is positively my due'. He suggests that the letter be submitted to Hamilton 'who certainly will not deny the justness of my Claim'. Postscript reads: 'I cannot speak to the correctness of the account you have sent me until I receive my Papers &c. from Palermo - the deductions appear to me to be unusually heavy'. The Oxford DNB points describes how à Court was secretary of legation at Palermo and Naples 1801-7 and chargé d'affaires there 1801-2 and 1803. In 1807 after Napoleon had occupied Naples but not Sicily he was sent as secretary to the Earl of Pembroke's special mission to Vienna. After service in Malta in April 1813 he 'received his credentials as envoy-extraordinary to the Barbary states Algiers Morocco Tripoli and Tunis to which he travelled in the summer and autumn of 1813. The most pressing problem was that of piracy although he was also instructed to obtain supplies for the British army in Spain. He returned to Naples as minister-plenipotentiary in 1814'.
