ADDRE.ShitED BY THE PRINCESS OF WALES TO THE EARL CF HARROWBY. " Feb. 27, ISIS. 6 ' The Princess -of Wales has received reports .troin various quarters of certain proceedings lately held by his Majesty's Privy Council respecting her Royal Highness • and the Princess has felt persuaded that these report, must be unfounded, because she could not believe it possible that any Resolution should be taken by that most Honourable Body in any respect affecting her Reyal Highness, uppn stairrneins, which she has no opportunity of answering, ex plaining, or even seeing. " The Princess still trusts that there is no truth in these rumours; bnt she feels it due to herself to lose no time in protesting against any Resolution affecting her Rcyal Hgliness, which may be so adopted. " The Ni - ,ble and Right Honourable persons who are said to have been selected from pr ceedings, arc too just to decide. any thing touching her Royal Hi g hness, without affording her an opportunity of laying her case before them. The Princess has; not had any power to choose Judges before whom any inquiry m a y be ca r r i e d on ; but elle is perfectly willing to have her whole conduct inquired into by any persons who may be selected by her accusers. -The Princess only demands that she may be heard in defence or io explanation of her con duct, if it is attkcked ; .and that she should either be treated as intro- • cent, or proved to be guilty." Lord Harrowby replied to the effect, that a copy of the Ministers' Report, laid before the Prince Regent, had been transmitted that same evening to the Princess of Wales by Viscount 3idmouth. The Public are aiready in possession of the subsequent results. INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE PRINCESS OF WALES AND THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.

Lord PALMILRSTONS rose, for the purpose of submitting to the House the Army Estimates. He said that it would be. unnecessary to detain the House at length, since the vari4tion between the estimates of the present, and of the last year, arose only from a slight ati men. cation of eff-ctive numhers, and not from any change of the military system of the country. The total increase of effectors numbers was 12.00) man, and the increase of charge was 390,0001. As upon tormer occasions, he went over the various heads under which the eAnnates were arranged, and noted the increase or diminution in money oe men in each of them. He conciteed with moving, that a stun not exceed ing three millions be granted for the service of the land forces fur the . current year. Captain Bennet, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. H. Addington, and Mr. Frcemantle discussed various parts of the estimates at some length. Mr CA sty sIC had some objection to make respecting the Paymas. tens' Departinent. He wislivd to abolish one, of the Pay masterships ; in other words, to fling one Paymaster and his Deputy overboard. He then alluded to certain Resolutions passed by the House its iflo9, re• lative to sinecure places, and referred to a Commit'ee. Mr. Long. in his examination before that Committee, said, cr allowed, that one Paymaster would be sufficiept. The two Deputies of the Paymasteri had each 5001 a year • and one of them was allowed to be su ffi cient for the duties. When Lord Charles Somerset was called before the Com-. mittee, he approved of the depositions of Mr. Long, when he heard them read. He concluded by saying. when the Seventh Resolution tame before the House, that he would move to have the 25001. left out, which were now paid to the Noble Lord and his noble ueputy. Cord CuisaL7:3 SoyitasET said that such a step would be unneces sary, as there was a Bill now in progress through the House, which would embrace the object of the Hun. Gentleman's Motion. There were two Paymasters in leo6. when the Hon. Gentleman's. wn friends were in power; and if he was of his opinion, 0144 at present oil was quite suf fi cient, it was saying, that one of the present Ministry was equal to two in that of their predecessors—(A Laugh, and hear s hear 1).
