The following is a correct copy of the Princess of \VALEs's communication to the Houses of Parliament T : " Montagu House, Blackheath, March 1, 1813. " The Princess of Wales informs [Mr. Speaker] the Lori! Chancellor, that she has received from the Lord Viscount Sid mouth a copy of a Report made to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, by a certain number of the Me:utters of his Majesty's Privy Council, to whom it appears that his Royal Highness had been advised to refer the consideration of 'documents, and other evidence, respecting her character and conduct. " The Report is of such a nature, that her Royal Hillmess feels persuaded no person can read It without considering it as conveying . aspersions upon her ; and although their vagueness renders it impossible to discover precisely what is meant, or even what she has been charged with; yet, as the Princess feels con. scions of no offence whatever, she thinks it due to herself, to the illustrious Homes with which she is connected by biood and by marriage, and to the people, among whom she holds so distill , guished a rank, not to acquiesce for a moment in any imputation affecting her honour. 46 Ilse Princess of Wales has not been permitted to know upon what evidence the Members of the Privy Council proceeded, sdil less to be heard in her defence. She knew only by common rumour of the inquiries which they:have been carrying dn, until the result of those inquiries was communicated to her, and she has no means now of knowing whether the Members acted as a body to which she can appeal for redress, at least for a hearing or only in their individual capacities, as persons selected to make a Report upon her conduct. 66 The Princess it therefore compelled to throw herself upon the wisdom and justice of Parliament, and to desire that the ful lest investigation may be instituted of ber whole conduct during the period of her residence in this country. " The Princess fears no scrutiny, however strict, provided she may be tried by impartial Judges, known to the Constitution and in the fair and open manner wbich the law of the land pro. scribes.
