Out I *ill not disguise from yuct• Royal I-lighting what I cannot for a tnoment conceal from myself, that the serious, and it soon may be, the irreparable injury which my Daughter sustains from the plan at present pursued, has done more in 'overcoming my reluctance to in trude upon year Royal Highnes, than U,ny suffer ings of my own could accomplish ; stud if for , her sake I presume to cull away yoUr Royal High ness's attention from the other cares 9f your ex:-• :tate(' station, I feel .confident I am not claiming it fora matter of inferior importance either to your self or your people. " The powers with which the Constitution of these realms vests your Royal Highness in thee, regulation of the Rpyal Family, I know,, because I am so advised, are ample . and unquestionable. My appeal, Sir, is made to your excellent sense and liberality of mind in the exercise of those, powers ; and I willingly hope that your owo pa rental feelings' will lead you to excuse the anxiety, of mire for impelling , une . to represent the unhap- , py consequences which the present sys;ent must entail upon our belovea child. Is it possible, Sir, that any one can have at- tempted to persuade your . Royal Highness, that her charaCter will not be Injured by the pefpetual violence offered to her strongest affections - --the studied care, taken to estrange her fon', my society, and even to interrupt all communication between as ? That' het love for Me, with whom, byVis jesty:s wise and 'gracious arrangements, she pass, ed the years of her infancy and Childhood, never can be extinguished, I well know, andsthe know,. ledge, of it forms the greatest blessing of my ex istence. • But lame implore your Royal nighness to reflect how inevitably alt atteMpts to abate this attachment, by forcibly separating us, if they su6 ceed, must injure my child's', principles—if they fail, must destroy her happiness. " The plan of exclUding my daughter frOm all intercourse with the world, appears to my humble judgment peculiarly unfortunate. She who is des tined to be the Sovereign of this- great country, enjoys none of those advantages of society which are deemed necessary for imparting a knOwledgy of mahkincl to persons who have infinitely less oc casion to learn that important lesson Y antn it may so happen, by a chance which I trust is very re mote, that she should be called , upon ,to ex ercise the powers of the Crown, .with` an ex perience of the world more ,eanfined than that of the most private individual. To the extra ordinary talents with which she is ,blosed, and which accompany a disposition as singularly aini. able, frank,. and decided, I willingly trust filuch l but beyond a certain point the greatest natural endow. meats cannot struggle ',against the disadvantagea of circumstances anti situation. It is my earnest prayer, for her own sake as well as her country's, that your Royal Highness may be induced ,to pause before this point be reached. "'[hose. who have advised you, Sir, to delay so long the period of my Daughter's commencing her intercourse with the world, and for that pur- pose to make Windsor her residence, appear not to have regarded the interruptions tr lice education which this arrangement oetasions, both by the impossibility a obtaining the attendance of proper teachers, and the time unavoidably consumed in the frequent journies to town, which she must make, unless she is to be sechided from all inter course, even with your Royal Highness and the r lest of the Royal Family. To the same u ifortu , nate Connsels I ascribe a circumstance in every wayso distressing both to my parental and religii.ms feelings, that my Daughter has never yet enjoyed the benefit of Confirmation, although above a year older than the. age- at which all the other branches of the Royal Family have partaliert of that so.. lemnity. May I earnestly conjure you, Sir, 'to hear my intreaties upon this serious matter, evert if you should listen to other advisers on things of less near concernment to the welfare of our child ? The pain with which I have at length form ed the resolution of addressing myself,to your Royal Highness is such as I should in vain at tempt to t xpress, If I could adequately describe it, you .might be enabled,, Sir, to estimate the strength of the motives which have made me sub mit, to it. They are the most powerful feelings of affection, and the deepest impressions of duty towards your Royal Highness, mybeloved Child, and the Country, whielt I devoutly hope she may be preserved to govern, and to slew by a new ex ample tbe liberal affection of a free and generous People to a virtuous and constitutional gonad).
