Gentlemen toore'deeply versed,-possibly,than Mr. Brougham is in ancient and modern history, perfectly acquainted with the constitution, castoms, and tnanti . ets of every country in Europe, as far as some travel and geeat and extensive reading will enable me to judge, I have no hesitation in assertibg, that I have.ni et with no similar instance of gross levity, with out its being accompanied with concomitant shades of I foresaw .much equivocation in trivial matters, amongst such a host of ignorant witnesses, and I prepared your minds to expect such three weeks hack, for, if reel) Mr. Brougham will admit of toy cross-exarniniitg'himself, or his coadjutor, Denman, to the transactiims which have taken place in Eng land within twO years past, f will stake toy existence, 1 will make them equivocate mote than once. and if 1 do not force them, at toast a dozen times; to exclaim ,eon sal ricorrio, I will tl a btliere that the entire corps of witnesses for the Bill, (iaeltaktrg IlitiPoit,Gaii‘ains), are perjured, and that lie, Denman, and the Whigs, are the most loyal men in I, , ;.,e'vora, not even excepting these two red hot allegiance advocates, Henry hunt and William cobhett. '•Sit much, Gentlemen, for the amorous and political trans actions that took place in every-part of the world within the eventful Arai virtuous periods of 1814 and 1820; all. the cir- - custistances connected with an earlier date, the Atterney-Ge- Gera' for the Queen, with that subtlety for which I have so justly commended hint, has scrupulously atoided touching on, with the exception Of two letters, one trout t he Prince of Wales, written in 1796, I lie other by otrr late lamented Sovereign, in 1309,b0th addressed to the Princess of %Vales. In adopting this. line of proceeding, he but discharged his dirty to his client, and I cannot blame hint for the omission, for lie could find nothing, no, not one solitary ray, to beam consolation Or ex tenuation on her character; the Report of the sioners, signed and approved of by Lord Erskine, will giie the lie to all his eloquence and all Iris special phad ing, in his attempt to establish the decency, and morality, the respect to rank and station, even in England, of " this sorrowing, persecuted woman,• driven froth her husband's door,avith her child in her - arms."—The very letter from that husband, which be has produced, will prove the best answer to his appeal to the enflamed sensibility of a mob. That letter, and by observations on it, will, be found in my late Address to the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of Dublin; they will, I hope, satisfainorily prove that my Royal Master was any thing !nit a prosecutor. •• With repect to the Letter written by our late pions and re vered Sovereign, although it establishes the purity of his af fectionate and mild nature, yet the Princess of Wales'is t he last reason in the world who should bare exhibited it ; a re verence for the memory of that august and afflicted Monarch, if not common decency and delicacy, ought to have commit ted it to the flames. —The most 'superficial - inspection of its style and manner, will. convince every than in England, ex cept, perhaps, Mr. Bronghana, that I am right, for not long sifter our old and venerated Monarch wrote this Letter, the Prince of Wales became Regent ; and, in that very year; tin soliciVid and unthanked, he paid out of his own, !Unita in come, 49,0001.. to relieve the pectinikey difficulties of his oppressed wife , and consented to ber'receiving 39,0001. droits of Admiralty, also from the King, rushing an aggregite of 83,0001. which this afflicted woman contrived to sipiander, over and ;shove a large annual incotne never in arrear a single hour, , drawn from the pockets of the People of • England, This is rather a novel mode of persecution, but such is the fact, and I challenge contradiction.

Beckett, Whitehall, 99th of August, 180 ti. I give only an extract from this molt interesting document as follows i- it relates to a communication made to the Prince of Wales by his Royal Highness, and details the substance of a conversation that took place between him and Sir Sidney Smith—lct the ad dressing English females blush when they read it. " Alter hearing - all 1 bad to say, he (Sir Sidney) observed that the Princess (in relating to him, that Ire► prohibition to Lady Douglas to repeat her visits ,at Blackheath had led to the ap plication for an audience of her ',loyal Highness,) had kept from me the real cause, why he, as well as Sir John and Lady Douglas, had made it, as it originated in a most-scanda lous anonymous Letter, (this letter contained the most shame fully indecent drawings,) of a nature calculated to set on Sir Joint and him to cut each others throats, which, front the hand=writing and style, they were ,fully convinced was the production of the . Princess herself. I. naturally exist essed my sentiments upon such conduct, on the part of the Princess, in terms of the atrpngest animadversion ; but, nevertheless, anxious to avoid the lliameful eclat which the publication of such a fact to the world- most. produce, the effect - which its consing.to the King's knowletigeavould probably have on Iris health, from the delicate state of his nerves ; and all the mis understandings between his Nfajesty and the Prince, which I foresaw would inevitably follow:—were this fact, (which would give t he •Pritice so powerful a handle to express his feel ings upon the countenance shewa by the King to the Print- . cess, et a time when 1 knew Ititu to be severely wounded by his-Majesty's visits to Blackheath on' the one hand, and the .reports- tie had received of the Princess's conduct on other,) to be brought to light u—and again, " I should have felt sny 'set f obliged to decline all interference int he business. anti to have at the same time stated to her, (the Princess,) that it .woulithe impossible for me to keep a master of such import ance, from the knowledge of the Prince."--(Signed, Kirwan ) • Now, Gentlemen, what can Brougham- assert in oppositions to this only one tact out of many I conid give you of a sinsi• far nature, to convince the. world of the truth and extreme delicacy of this German and Royal prude, who reseurs not having been cheered " by the sympathy of our venerable .Hierarchy ;"' will this oratorical Harlequin at wive plead ion ntiTicorite, as Isis leading witness, my Lady C.

The following Address to his Majesty now lies in the Council Chamber, and is already sign ed with the names of a very numerous and inos.t, respectable body of Inhabitants : • ADDRESS TO, THE KING. We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, inhabitants of the Citii - of lidintanrgh, beg leave humbly to approach your . Majesty's throne, to express, our attachment to your royal person, our veneration for the ('onshtution,'and our confi dence in the wisdom of your Majesty's councils—a confidence . founded on the experience of many years, during which • Bri tain obtained the most distinguished successes, by which her history has ever been dignified ; having twice seen her arms and those oilier allies penetrate to tire capita') of France, dethroning an usurper, whose name had become the terror of the world, arid restoring peace to Europe. We beg to express similar confidence in the internal Administration of your Majesty's Government, by which, only a few months ago, an extensive and organized insurrection was discomfited and pur. down, almost without bloodshed, 11 bile the limited extent .of the punishment which necessarily followed, exhibited a ,re markable example of your Majesty's lenity towards these mis guided persons. We farther beg to express our humble and dutiful opinion that your Majesty's present Ministers cannot be. advao tageously replaced by those who aspire 40 succeed them r ai we do nollwow of any.other set of risen, who, either 'from their tried or untried pretensions to power, are so o sustain the dignity of the British name, the honour of your, Majesty's throne, or the welfare and happiness of the iteu.oe. We perceive with much regret that the political partyto winch we- have allAded, have shown themselves but too will ire:, for the sake of swelling their numbers, to .receive intcy their ranks a numerous class of demagogues :rod hdr.,fol lowers—the same who lately attempted,' by force of arms, an open overthrow of the Constitution, and a change, not only of Government, but of property ; and who, of late, have found a singular erode of making knov.a.their inveterate enmity to your Majesty's person and to lioth estates of Parliament,,by addresses which, though utterly absurd, arc not the lest iedit tious arid treasonable. . . We *are tar from imputing to thispolitical..partv, a paai.- - t ivrytion iiiv-the• frantic and guilty SeheiiilA . of "tliolie'' ant; happy persons whose aim seems to be to disjciitit the whole. fabric of society, by sowing discord between the various classes of which it consists ; but as they *have shown tbiA • they are not reloctant to avail themselves of the appear', ake of strength, presented by the numbers of these 'de- - magognes, so notch greater than their own, we may be permitted to (I , oh!, whether if admitted to ydur Majesty's . Councils, they would possess the power - of reducing ro rea son such formidable Allies, who even already, arid while they trace in so tar a common interest to pursue, express a hatred and contempt for the party composing the oppo sition in Parliament equal to that which they possess to - - wards the King, the Leligirin, the. laws, and tinnstituitioit of the country. And in the event that such men. Isere to ob tain any decided ascendency, it "would be no consolatiita to us and other suaerers, it their earliest victims were ttrose. whin, in the blindness ot their ambition, ,had,_ called. in euch dangerous auxiliaries.
