SIRE—\VhenI presume to address you on being so situatetl, with all her passions excited
the suuject which afflicts and agitates the counu and cnflamed to the impulses of such abandon-

try, I do so with the most profound sentiments of
respect and loyalty. But I am noiflattercr. I
wish well to your illustrious house, and therefore
I address you in the tone of simple truth--the in-
terests of the king and queen are identified, and
her majesty’s advocate must be yours; The
degredationof any branch of your family, must,
in some degree, compromise the dignity of all ;
and be assured there is as much danger as dis-
credit in familiarizing the public eye to such a
spectacle. I have no doubt that the present ex-
hibition is not your royal wish ; l have no doubt
it is the work of wily sycophants, who have
persuaded you of what they know to be false, in
the base hope that it may turn out to be profita-
ble. \Vith the view, then, of warning you a-
gainst interested hypocrisy, and of giving to your
heart its natural humane and noble inclin-ation,I
invoke your aittention to the situation of your per-
secuted consort! I implore of you to consider
whether it be not for the safety of the state, for
the tranquility of the country, for the honor of
your house, and for the interests alike ofroyalty
and humanity, that an helpless female should be
permitted to pass in peace the few remaining
years which uumerited misery has spared to her.
It is now, hire, about years since her majes-
ty landed on the shores of Iinglanrl—a Princess
by birth-—a Queen by marri‘agc-—.-the relative of
I~'.ings—and the daughter and t~.istcr of a hero.-
She was then _voung—-direct front the intlulgt.-nce

and hallow llOl'-!‘.t‘, were vattislterl fo‘rever, still did
she resign them for the .<act'e(l name of wife, the
sworn affection of a royal ltusband, and the allegi-
ance of a glorious and gallant people. She was
no more to see her noble fatlter’s hand unhelm
the warrior’s brow to fottdle o'er his child——-no
more for her a mother's tongue delighted as it
taught : that car which never heard a strain--that
cye which never CpCnt.‘(i upon a scene, but those
ofcareless, crimelcss, rloudless infancy, was now
ztboutto change its dulcct tones and fairy visions
for the accent and country of the stranger. But
she had heard of the character of l5ritr.tn——slie

dwelt, the very name of woman bore a charmed

blossoms, rcfresliin_<: evt't'_\' eye with present beau-

No wonder that she feared no famine in tltut
spring-tide of licr li:.tppin.ess ; no wontler that her
speech w.-is raptttt-t-, and llCl' step was lsuoyancy !
She \\‘tlS the darling of parent’s lieat-ts——a king-
dom was her (lov;er-——ltet- very glance, like the
sun of heaven, dill-"used light, and v.-:n':ntlt,antl lux-
ury around it-—in her public ltr:-ur, fortune con-
centered all its rays upon her, and when she
shrunk from its too radi-.u-it noon, it was within
the shelter of a l1usoand’s love, which God and
nzzture, and duty and morality, assured l},(;l‘ unte-
luctaut faith should be eternal. Such was she
then. all joy and hope, and generous crcdulity,
the crcdulity that sptittgs from honor and from
innocence. And who could blutnc it ? You had
a world to choose, and she was your selection-—
your ages were compatiblc--yourbirths were e-
qual—-you had drawn her from the house where
she was honorable and happy——you had a prodigal
allowance showered on you by the people-—you
had bowed your anointed head before the altar,
and sworn by its majesty to cherish and protect
her, and this you did in the presence of that mor-
al nation from whom you hold the crown, and in
the face ofthatchurch of which you are the guar-
dian. 'l’he tics which bound you were of no or-
dinary texture—---you stood not in the situation of
some secluded pt‘olligatc,. whose brutal satiety
might leave its victim to a death of solitutlc,
where no eye could see, nor echo tell the quiver-
ings of her agony. Your elevation was too lumi-
ous and too lofty to be ovt,~rlooked, and she, who
confided with a vestal’s fuitll and a vii-gin’s purity
in your _honor and your morals. had a corobora-
tive pledge in that publicit. y, which could not leave
her to sufferor be sinned against in secret. All
the calculations ofher reason, all evidence of her
experience, combined their confirmation. Her
own parental home was purity itself, and yours
might have bound Republicans to Royalty; it
would have been treason to have doubled you;
and, oh ! she was right to brush away the painted
vermin that infest a Court, who would have with-
ered up her youthful heart with thewild crrors of
your ripe minority ! Oh! she was right to trust
the honor of ‘ Fair F.ngland’s’ heir. and weight
but as breath-blown grain ofdust a thousand fol-

lies and a thousand faults balanced against the

conscience of her husband. She did confide, and
what has been the consequence ? g _ .
History must record ll, hire, when-..the_.bright-
est gem in your diadem shall have mduldet'ctl.
that this young, confiding,inexperienced creature
had scarcely heard the last congratulatory address
upon her marriage when she was eXfl_c_(l lrpm her
husband’s bed, banished from her husband 5 soci-

ment? VVas it meet thus to subject her inexpe-
. rienced youth to the scorpion stinging’ of exaspe-

rated, p’r‘td_e and all its incidental natural temt ta-
‘tions? “Vets it right to fiing the shadow of a bus-
band's frown upon‘ the then nnsullied sr - v of her
reputation ? Up to the blight of that all-‘dithering
hour no human tongue dared to asperse her cha r-
acter. The sun of patronage was not then strong
cnoiiglt to quicken into life the serpent‘ blood of
slanderers; no starving aliens, no hungry tribe of
local expectants, then hoped to fatten upon the of-
fuls of the Royal reputation. She was not long
enough in vridowhood to give the spy and the
perjnrer ever. :5 colour fox-their inventions. The
peculiarities of thc foreigner---tlic weakness of
the female-——the nntttml vivacity of youthful in-
nocence, could not then be tortured into ‘ demoti-
stttttions strong 5’ for you, yourself, in your re-
corded letter, had left her purity not only unim-
peachetl but unsuspected. That invaluable let-
ter, the living document of your separation, gives
us the sole reason for your exile, that your * in-
climttions’ were not in your power! That, Site,
and that alone, was the terrible reason which
gave your consort for this public and heart-rend-
irtg degredation. Perhaps they were not; but,
give me leave. to ask, are not the obligations ofre-
ligion independent of us? Has any man a right
to sq'u.'tre the sulemnities of marriage according
to his rude cztprices ? Am ! your lowly subject,
to nnderstand'th'.ttl may kneel before the throne
of God, anti protnise conjugal fidelity till death,
and self-absol\'e myself whatever momentit suits

[WHOLE No. 183.

. I

upon the fieldof battle, sealed at life of glory, hap~
py in a soldiet-’s death, far happier that this
dreadful day was spared them! Her sole surviving
parent followed soon, and though they left heral-
most alone on earth, yet how could she regret
them ? she has at least the bitter consolation, that
their poor child's miseries did not break their
hearts. Oh, miserable woman ! made to rejoice

‘ over the very grave of her kindred, in mournful

gratitude that their hearts are marble.

During a long probation of ezttle and of woe,
bereft of parents, country, child, and husband, she.
had one solace still-a-her c/taracter was unblemish.-
ed. By a refiiiement upon cruelty even that con-
solation was denied her. Twice had she to un-
dergo the inquisition ofa secret trial, originating
in foul conspiracy, and ending in complete acquit-
tal. The charity of her nature was made the
source of crime--Tlte peculiarities inseparable
from her birth were made the ground of accusa-
tio:~—lier very servants were questioned whether
every thought, and word, and look, and gesture,
and visit,‘ were not all so many over! ocls ofadnl-
tery; and when her most sttcrctl moments had
been heartlcssly explored, the tardy vérdict which
freed her from the guilt, could not absolve her
from the humiliating consciousness of the accusa-
tion. Your gracious father, indeed,with n benev-
olence of heart more royal than his royalty, inter-
posed his arm between innocence and punish-
ment; for punishment it was, most deep and
grievous, to meet discountenance from all your
family,and see the fame which haddelicd all proof,
made the capricious sport of hint and insinuation ;
while that father lived she still had some protect-
ion; even in his night of life there was a sanctity
about him which awed the daring ofthe highway
slanderer——his honest, open, genuine English lool;
would have silenced a whole banditti of Italians
Your father acted upon the ptiociples he profess-'
sed—-he was more reverenced as a king than he
was beloved and respected as a man; and no doubt
he felt how poignant it must have been to be de-
nounced as a criminal, without crime. and trt--ated
as a widow in ‘her. husband’s life time. But death
was busy with her best protectors, and the vener-
able form is lifeless now, which would have shield-
8(l a daughter and a Brunswick. lie would have
warned the Milan panders to beware the honor of
his ancient House 5 he would have told them, that
a prying, pettifogging, purchased inquisition up-
on the unconscious privacy ofa royal female, was
not in the Spirit of the English character; he
would have disdainetl the ftetty larceny of any di-
jtlomatic /tick-/zockct ,-_ and he would have told the
whole rabble of Italian informers and suindling
ambassadors, that his daughter's existence should
not become a perpetual proscription; that she
was doubly allied to him by birth and marriage ;
and that those who exacted all a wife’s obedience,
should have previousl_v_procured for her a bus-
band’s countenance. God reward him ! There is
not a father or an husband in the land, whose

heart does not at this moment make a pilgrimage

to his monument.

Thus having escaped from two conspiracies
equally all‘-.:cting her honor and, life, finding all
conciliation hopeless, bereft by death of every nat.
ural protector, and fearing perhaps that practice
might make perjury consistent, she reluctantly
determined upon leaving '].‘iDglall(l. One pang
alone embittered her departure--her darling, and
in despite of all discountenance, her duteous child
clung round her heart with natural tenacity. Pa-
rcnts who love, and ‘feel that very love compel-
ling separation, alone can feel for her. Yet how
could she subject that devoted child, to the hu-
miliation of her mother’s misery ! How reduce
her to the sad alternative of seleciing between
sepznated parents ! She chose the generous, the
noble sacrifice-—self-banished, the world was be-
fore her---one grateful sigh for England—v-one
teal‘---ll‘le last, ‘lust tear upon her daughter-’s head
--and she departed. ‘ _ '

Oh Site, imagine her at that departure! How

dled. migltt one day be her hapless mother's ad- - changed, how fallen, since a few short years he-
voc-.tte I How fondly did she trace each faint rc-

fore, she touched the shores of England! The
day-beam fell not upon a happier creature--crea-
tion caught new colors from her presence, joy
sounded the timbrcl as ‘she passed, and the flow-
ers of birth, of beauty and chivalry, bowed down
before her. Butnow alone, an orphan and a wid-
ow ! her gallant brother in his shroud of glory:
no arm to shield, no tongue to advocate, no friend
to follow an o’erclouded fortune, branded, degra-
ded, desolate, she flung herself once more upon
the wave.to her less fickle than a husband’s pront-
ises ? I do.not wonder that she has now to pass
through a severer ordeal, because impunity gives
persecution confidence. But I marvel indeed
tnuch, that then, after the agony of auexpartc
trial. and the triumph of a complete though lin-
gering exculpation, the natural spirit of English
justice did not stand etnbodi d between her and
the shore, and hear her indignant toyour capital.
The people, the peerage, the prclacy, should have
sprung into unanimous procession: all that was
noble or powerful, or consecrated in the land,
should have borne her to the palace gate, and de-
manded why their Queen presented to their eye
this gross «anomaly ! VVhy her anointed brow
should bow down in the dust, when a British ver-
dict had pronounced her irmoccnce! VVhy she
was refused that conjugal restriction, which her
humblest subject had a right to claim ! Why the
annals of their time should be disgraced, and the
morals of theirnation endure the taint of this ter-
tific precedent ; and why it was that after their
countless sacrifices for your royal house, they
should be cursed with i.'/iis /l.'1g‘i'(171tr'y of rm-al hu-
miliation I Had they so acted, the dire aflliction
of this (lay might have been spared us. ‘Nt:
should not have seen the filthy sewersofltaly
(lisgorgc a living leprosy upon our throne ; and
slaves and spies imported from a creedless broth-
el land to attaint the sacred Majesty ofEngland !
But who. alas I will succor the unfortunate’? The
cloud of your displeasure ‘was upon her, and the
gay, glittering,,countless insect-swarm of sum-
mer friends, abide but in the sun-beam ! Shc__pas-
sed ztway_.-with sympathy I doubt not, but in st-,
lence. .
