Dear Dan, My next question . . .
I have been looking at Lord Sydney's interaction with James Mario Matra, which seems to be the largest form of resentment eminating from Australia towards Lord Sydney. Matra's first article; A proposal for Establishing a Settlement in New South Wales to Atone for the Loss of our American Colonies was an elaborate 38 page plan on how Loyalist settlements in NSW would work. He presented it to the British government on 23rd August 1783.

The common accusation is that Lord Sydney ignored this plan and basically
deserted prospects in Australia.

What is NOT mentioned is that on the 23rd August 1783 Lord Sydney was not
the Home Secretary. In fact, the documents would have been received by the
Duke of Portland's ministry from (April 1783 to Dec 1783) when Lord North
was the Home Secretary. Also worth noting is that Lord Sydney was one of
North's fiercest critics when he was previously prime-minister (1770 to
1782). So, in Dec 1783 Lord Sydney as Home Secretary stepped into the
position of his arch-enemy, Lord North. It would not surprise me if Lord
North made it as difficult as possible for Sydney to take over the reigns by
not forwarding Matra's plans to him.

What I am suggesting is very significant, Lord North who received Matra's
proposals may have changed the coarse of Australian history by purposefully
witholding information out of spite towards Lord Sydney. We know from
supporters of North, i.e. Nathaniel Wraxall and the events surrounding the
by-election of the 1784 Westminster seat, that that faction was able to
stoop pretty low.

Another common Australian accusation derived from Sydney's apparent ignoring
of Matra is that he cared little of British American Loyalists who were
driven out of America by the intolerant revolutionaries. This is clearly not
the case. Sydney's prompt actions and replies to Gov Fanning and DesBarres
in Canada show that he was indeed on top of the Loyalist situation. In fact,
I would say that his ignoring of James Matra is very out of character. So, my question is, has anyone ever investigated the animosity between North and Sydney being the reason for Matra's plans being ignored? Regards, Derek
