THE EARL OF MOJRA. COPY OF A LETTER FROM THE EARL OF MOIRA, TO A FRIEND, WHO IS A MEMBER OF TIIE GRAND LODGE OF FREEMASONS. . 4 ' March 23, 1813. " MY DEAR SlR—The difficulty of taking down with accu racy in the House of Lords what is said by any individual, as the Reporters are not alhiwed to snake notes, has occasioned the ac count of what passed there yesterday to be incorrect In many of the Papers. I am thence anxious to detail to you the sub stance of the explanation given by me, that you may communi cate it to our brethren of the Lodge, whom I had requested to suspend their opinions on the subject, till I might feel at liberty :o enter upon it. I thought it expedient to separate the matter into distinct heads, that each of the misrepresentations I had to combat may be answered the more precisely. " Ist. I- never happened to be at Belvedere, or in Its vicinity, in the whole course of my life. It follows, that I could not have sought there any information respecting the Princess's conduct. But the negative does not only apply to that place. In no one instance 'have I ever spontaneously endeavoured to obtain parti culars respecting her Royal Highness's behaviour; and I should certainly have declined such a function, had the Prince requested it of me, which I am persuaded never entered the most distantly into his 'Contemplation. It is not in his nature to prompt so vile a practice. When any matter has been referred to me, or any communication has been made to me, in an authentic and formal manner, my oath, as one of the Prince's Council, bound me to such examination of the point as I might think the honour and interest of his Royal Highness required. " 2. Two of Lord Eardley's servants were examined by me In London, In a spirit very different from what is slanderously im puted by the Prineeses legal advisers Lord Yardley had given to the Prince an account, absolutely uninvited and no less unwel come, of meetings between the Princess and Captain Manby at Belvedere, which his Lordship had represented-(trom the report of his servants) as having caused great scandal in the neighbour hood : his Lordship had asked an audience of the Prince who had no suspicion of his object, for the purpose of stating the fact, and exonerating himself from any supposition of connivance.— When the Prince did ire the honour of relating to me this repre sentation of Lord Eardley s, expressing great uneasiness that the melted notoriety of the hlterviews at Belvedere, and the com ments of the neighbours, should force him to tale any public steps, I suggested the possibility that there might be misappre hension of the circumstances; and I entreated that, before any' other procedure should be determined upon, I might send for the steward (Kenny) and the porter (Jonathan Partridge) to exaMine them. This was permitted. I sent for the servants, and ques tioned them. My report to the Prince was, that the matter had occasioned very little observation in the house, none at all in the neighbourhood, and that it was entirely unnecessary for hisßoyal Highness to notice it in any shape. The servants had been de sired by me never to talk upon the subject ;—Lord Eardley was informed that his conception of what had been stated by the ser vants was found to be inaccurate; no mention was ever made to any one, not even to the Lords who conducted the enquiry three years afterwards, of the particulars related by the servants; and the circumstance never would have been known at all, had not the legal advisers of the Princess, for the sake of putting a false colour on that investigation, indiscreetly brought it forward.-- The death of Kenny, in the interval, tempted them to risk this procedure. Jonathan Partridge having been known i at the time when he was questioned to be devoted to the Princess, from his own declaration to the steward, no one can doubt but that her Royal Highness would the next day be informed by him of Ms having been examined. The measure was most offensive, if not justified by some uncommon peculiarity of circumstance. Yet absolute silence is preserved upon it for so long a period by her Royal Hisbuesen ehtelsen-F-a ferbearanse only to be *Ted b! Ger behig tell endow to toed fon the 'ebb Male UM, was AIM. " b. The Interviews with Dr. Mills and Mr. Edmeades did not take place dU between three and four years after the examination of Lord Eardley's servants, and had no reference to it. Fanny Lloyd, .maid servant in the Princess's faintly, had, in an exami nation to which I was not privy, asserted Dr. Mills to have men cloned to her, that the Princess was pregnant ;i deposition which obviously made it necessary that Dr. Mills should be subjected to examination. Thii happened to be discussed before me ; and it was my suggestion that it would be more &lime to let me re quest the atten'dince of Dr. Mills at my house, and to have him meet*the Magistrate there than that publicity and observation should be entailed by his being summoned to the Office in Marl borough-street. Dr. Mills came early, and then it was imme diately discovered that it was his partner, Mr. Edmeades, who bad bled Fanny Lloyd, though the latter (knowing the Princess's apothecary to be Dr. Mills, and imagining it was that apot i liecary who had bled-her) had Confounded the names. Dr. Mills was, therefore, dismissed, without being examined by the Magis trate; and he was begged to send Mr. Edmeades on another morning. Mr. Edmeades cameascordingly, and was examined before the Magistrate; An attempt is made to pervert an obser vation of mine into an endeavour to make Mr. Edmeades alter his testimony, injuriously for the Princess. So far from there being any thing of conciliation in my tone, Mr. Conant must well re member my remark to have been made as a correction of wKat I deemed a premeditated and improper pertness of manner in Mr. Edmeades. It was an unmitigated prpfession of my belief that he was using some subterfuge to justify his denial; a declaration little calculated to win him to pliancy, bad I been desirous of influencing his testimony. My conviction on the point remains unchanged. One or other of the parties was wilfully incur• rect in their statement—if Fanny Lloyd were so, it was down right perjury: Mr. Edmeades might have answered only elusively. I have been told that some individual, pointing at the direct op position between the affidavits of Mr. Edmeades and Fanny Lloyd, has indicated the preferable credit which ought to be given to the oath of a well educated man, in a liberal walk of life, over that of a person in the humble station of a maid-servant.- I shall not discuss the justice of the principle which arbitrarily assumes deficiency of moral rectitude to be the natural inference from humility of condition. The inculcation in the present in stance would have been somewhat more rational, had it advised that, In a case of such absolute contradiction upon a simple fact, the comprehension of which could have nothing to do with edu cation, you should consider on which side an obvious temptation to laxity appears. Fanny Lloyd was not merely a reluctant witness, but had expressed the greatest indignation at being sub ject to examination. When she swore positively to a circumstance admitting of no latitude, the only thing to be weighed was, what probability of inducement existed for her swearing that which she knew to be false. It will appear that her testimony on that point was not consonaot to the partiality which she had proclaimed; that by the other parts of her evidence she was barring the way to reward, if any profligate hopes of remuneration led her to risk the falsehood and that she could not be influenced by malice against Mr. Edmeades, with whom it was clear she was unacquainted. Nothing, therefore, presented itself to throw an honest doubt upon her veracity. Mr. Edmeades was very differently circumstanced. A character for dangerous chattering was absolute ruin to him in his profession. He had the strongest of all motives to exonerate himself from the charge if he could hit upon any equivocation by which he might satisfy himself in the denial of it : and the bear ing of my remark must not be misunderstood. No man would inter any thing against the Princess on tke ground of such a ran dom guess as that of Mr. Edmeades' must have been, unless Mr. Edmeades should support his proposition by the adduction of valid reasons and convincing circumstances ; but there was a con sequence ascribable to it iir its loosest state. His having been sufficiently indiscreet to mention his speculation to others, as well as to Fanny Lloyd, would we account for what was otherwise incomprehensible; namely, the notion of the Princess's preg nancy so generally entertained at Greenwich and in that neigh bourlisiod. It was my conviction that such indiscretion had taken place, not any belief of the fact to which it related, that . L endea voured to convey by remark. " 4. This construction is not put upon the circumstances now, for the first time. A paper of mine, submitted to his Majesty at the period of the investigation, and lodged with the other do cuments relative to that enquiry, rebuts in the same terms the base attempt of insinuating conspiracy against the Princess. Why that paper has not seen the light with the other documents may , be surmised. I had thought it incumbent on me, from the na ture of the transaction, not to furnish any means tor its publica tion from the copy in my possession. he present explanation unavoidably states all the material points contained in it. But it will be felt by every one, that the detail has been extorted from me. " 5. The Editor of a Sunday Publication has asserted his hav ing been told, by a person known to him, that I had commis sioned that person to insert in an Evening Paper anonymous paragraphs, injurious to the Princess. '1 he procedure is so little consistent ith any custom of mine, that, so the best of my re collection and belief, I never sent an unauthenticated article of any form or tenour, to a newspaper, but once in my life. That was upon an erroneous statement, atfecting myself alone, which I pointed out to a Gentleman who happened to call upon me, ex pressing my wish that he would contradict it. A matter so trivial would not have been mentioned by me, did it not shew that, even in cases which might be• considered indifferent, I had habitual objection to sending any thing for insertion hr a newspaper; therefore I could not have sliddeu inconsiderately into the turpitude with which lam now charged. But if upon insertions that might be uninteresting to other., I speak only as to memory, it is not the same with regard to anonymous attacks on the character of another. On that I make no reservation: ' deny, with the most solemn appeal to the Su rxeme Buns the having ever levelled such a shalt against the feelings of any ittdivL dull whatever. I know not the seduction on earth that could recon cile me to what I consider as equally mean and atrocious. No excuse of wit, no plea of public good, could palliate to me the baseness of wounding another covertly. 111 feel this generally, I must do so in a peculiar degree towards the exalted Personage in contemplation, whose sex, whose station, and whose circumstances,would make such detraction execrable beyond what words can express. I know not any person who would pass that sentence on the act more decidedly or more Indignantly than the illustrious individual whose favour might be supposed to he sought by the dirty procedure. These were the points which I advanced to the House of Lords. , I there vouched them on the faith of a Gentleman, and I repeat to you that assertion of their accuracy.---I bavetbe honour to be, my dear Sir, most truly, yours, (Signed) MOIRA." PiIIZLIAMEATiMr PROCEEDING& HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 26. The LORD CHANCELLOR this day gave judgment In the Appeal of the Bank of Scotland v. Watson, reversing the judg ment of the Court of Session. Several other causes were postponed for the ensuing week. The consideration of Chamberlayne's Divorce Bill being! re sumed, Mr. Nolan appeared at the Bar as Counsel for the Bill, and several witnesses were examined, chiefly with a view of establishing the fact of the adulterous intercourse between Mrs. Chamberlayne and her paramour (a Mr. Bromhead). This ap pearing to be adequately proved, and the necessary facts of the marriage, &c. being given in evidence, their Lordships gave the Bill a second reading, and ordered it to be committed. Lord WALSINGHAM presented a Petition from a nume rous body of Dyers employed in the East India Company's ser vice, for a renewal of the Company's Charter, and that the trade way be carried on as heretofore. —Ordered to lie on the table. A Message declared that the Commons had agreed to the Amenciluent in the Local Militia Bill. Two Mutiny Bills and several others were brought up from the Commons and read the first time. After the Bills on the table had been forwarded in their re spective stages, the House Adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. General MAITLAND appeared at the Bar, with a Report of the Committee appointed to consider the late Election for Ayrshire. The Report stated, that the Sitting Member had been duly elected, but that the Petition was not frivolous nor vetatious. '1 he Exchequer Bills' Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Corn Exportation Bill was read a third time and passed. The Toll Manure Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday next. Mr. Alderman ATKINS moved, that the Speaker do not issue his Warrant for the election of new Members for Wey mouth and Melcombe Regis till this day fortnight. Ordered ac cording to the Motion. The Canada Rum Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. RODERT THQUITON treacate4 a ratitlan figs the tail fa& &Mal, for tette tt btralowtof to eramtne irtn neues before tke Committee appointed to Avon on their Claims. The Irish Road was read a second time. The Kilmainhim Hospital Bill was ordered to be read a third time on Monday next. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT gave notice, that he should, oa Monday, move for Copies of the Miputes of the Court of In. quiry appointed to enquire into the treatment suffered by Captain Phillimore, on board his Mille y's ship Diomede. Lord GEORGE BFP PSFORD stated, that he had waited on his Royal Highness the Prince Regent with the Address of Con. dolence upon the death of the Duchess of Brunswick, which his Royal Highness had been pleased to receive, and had returned the following gracious Answer : " I thank you for your dutiful and loyal Address ; and I re " ceive the condolence of the House of Commons, on the recent " loss which I have sustained, as an acceptable proof of attach " ment to myself and family." APOTHECARIES' BILL. Mr. CALCRAFT observed, that an unfounded prejudice of so strong a nature had gone forth to the Public on the subject of the Apothecaries' Bill, that it was deemed advisable by the friends of the measure, although they were completely 'edified of the general utility with which it was fraught, to withdraw it until the next Session of Parliament, in the confident expectation that the unfavourable impression which some interested penens had so studiously endeavoured to give of the Bill might. by that time, be removed. In order to facilitate this desirable even. it might be expedient for him to stare, that one great object of the Dill was to insure such an examination of persons practising the me dical profession, as Surgeons and Apothecaries, as wo. secure to the Public the certainty that henceforward Diane but inteligent and well-educated individuals would be found in that profession. It was also the object of the Bill to put these Gentlemen on a footing on which they had never before been placed by the Le gislature, by enabling them to charge a fee for their attendance. This part of the Bill was more applicable to gentlemen practising the medical profession in town than in the couutry. In the coun try, owing to the acknowledged distance at which his patient might reside, a Surgeon or Apothecary always charged a fee fur his attendance. In London, akbough every one knew that the residence of a patient might be very distant indeed from that of his Surgeon or Apothecary, no such fee had hitherto been charged. With respect to the first object of the Bill, those by whom the Bill had been framed had been under great diflicul-y as to the constitution of the authority before which the future examina tion of individuals wishing to practise as Surgeons and Apothe caries was to take place. The College of Physicians and the So ciety of Surgeons had, unadvisedly in his opinion, declined to take on themselves this iMpoitant they. The framers of the Bill were therefore obliged under those c:rcurnstancei to get the best authority in th eir power, and he ktd no doubt that the au thority which the Bill described would have very satisfactorily discharged the trust reposed in it. One additional inducement, however, for the postponement of the Bill to the next Session of Parliament was, the hope that the chartered and constituted bodies to which he had already alluded, would be induced by that period to come forward and offer their assistance in carrying Into effect the great publk advantage which the Bill had in contem plation. He confessed his regret that Chymista and Druggists had been included in the purview of the measure. it had always been his opinion, that those gentlemen ought to be struck out of it ; and if he presented the Bill again in the next Session of Par liament, it should contain no reference to them whatever, but each respective profession and occupation should stand untrams fuelled, and on its own merits alone. On the motion of the Hon. Gentleman the Bill was then ordered to be read a second time on that day six months. FINANCE. On the Order of the Day being read for receiving the Report of the Committee of last night, Mr. A. BARING repeated his arguments gene. rally against the plan, and trusted Ministers would at least postpone it till next Session. Mr. ROSE also repeated his chief arguments in favour of the plan, and again most positively denied that it would in the least affect the original design of the Sinking Fund. To postpone the measure for a year, would be subjecting the country to too great a pressure, while by its immediate adoption, we should, on more favourable circumstances arising be. fore the next Session of Parliament, reap a double advantage. Mr. HUSKISSON said a few words in explana. tion of his speech of last night. Mr. GRENFELL spoke is favour of the measure, Mr. JOHN SMITH said, he had always been of opinion that the capital of the Sinking Fund was so tempting an object, that neither Ministers nor the Country could long resist its allurements. For his own part, when he knew the. privations to which every class was at present subject from taxes of every description, he had no objection to the measure. Sir R. PEELE warmly supported the measure. He expressed his satisfaction at the present state of Continental Europe, the spirit infused into our Al. lies, and the re-opening of our foreign trade to the British Merchants. He could not help considering. at the same time, the diminution which the late tin. favourable state of affairs had effected hi the capitals of our Manufacturers, and therefore he hoped every measure would be adopted which could operate to their relief. Mr. HAMMERSLEY objected to the measure proposed, on the ground that it was founded on a principle adverse to one laid down by the most emi nent writers on political economy—that the collec tion of War 'Nxes within the year of their expendi ture was the best security a .nation could have of war not 'being unnecessarily begun, nor wantonly prosecuted. The Ministers of the present day bad unfortunately overlooked that sound principle and attacked the Sinking Fund, which all bad been taught to hold sficred. The Report was then ordered to be brought up, and leave given to Messengers from the House of Lords, who had been some time in attend ace, to enter. They announced the concurrence of their Lordships to three Local Bills, without any amend• ments. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, " That the Report of the Committee of Fi. nance be read." Mr. BARHAM then rose, and with considerable energy said, that should the House agree to have the Report read, and the measure be finally adopted, there would not be much cause to censure the acts of Bonaparte, who extinguished two-thirds of his na tional debt by one decree ; and the people of this country would now be taught that they had no better security for the production of our own Sinking Fund, even when under the controul of the House of Com mons.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He should therefore move, as an Amendment to the Question now before the House, That the Report be read early next Session of Parliament." Lord CASTLEREAGH rose with some warmth, and said, although be was unaccustomed to express himself upon questions like that before the House, he could not, in justice to himself and the House of Commons, sit quiet and hear such language as the Honourable Gentleman had just used. Every Mem ber must feel indignant on hearing such a compari son, and such an imputation. On his own part, he was satisfied that the people of this country were too wise, and possessed more good sense than to over look the real object of the measure, or suffer them selves to be misled by language so tutwarra.oteble, This day was published, in Royal *lvo. price 16e. boards, A DIGEST of the PENAL LAWS of ENG LAND, relative lb Offences against Con and RILLIGION, including the several Laws which affect Protestant Dissenter, and Roman Catholics.
