LOll I) J. RUSSELL to MR:WILBERFORCE. Aug. 12, 1820 SM . -There are some parts of the Letter I did myself the honour to address to you that have been misunderstood : others are not clearly . ;-tatcd, from the haste -A ith Whiell I wrote it. In file first place, I could, not intend to write .as the organ of the Whig party. From the indi viduals of- that party', opinions of every colour on'this question have on ; and it involves c,,se of justice to an in which cannot Fe, rnade a party question. 5-aying, the Whigs have no power, I cer tainly did not intend ton deny they have great moral inthience.—Mr. Fox', I. think, says some ; here," that-a party has influence, but no power, 1h llouses of Parliament power, but, properly si taking, no influence ; _and the Government has both influence .and power." Now, it is 1 o.u - ible for any one. who has •attended to the Folitical history of England, for the last five .3t•tirs, not to see that both influence and power have resided, not w ith Lord Liverpool or Lord Castlereagh, but with a body of Gentlemen in the Ilouse.of Commons, usually supporting, but sometimes opposing ,the Minister. When, at your suggestion,they obliged Lord Castlereagh to postpone the appointment of the Secret Commit- tee, they took this question into their own.hands. With the power, let theni also take the responsi bility. • • cc , In the Petition to the King, it is saio— If the law of Englaml has made no provision for try hip, a Queen -on a charge of immoral conduct al:road, the reason is probably to be found in the conclusion we have just n4ade, that such conduct does not seriously affect the State." . The passao - e ought to le, " is not likely seriously to affect the State." In some cases it certainly may. Again it is said, domestic duties and domestic affections alone•are of power to keep a wife' holy and safe from evil." '.lt ought to be " safe from clang-yr." The textfrom which it is taken (Matt. .v..-2`2,) will readily occur to you. There are some misprints. " If they move in part". ought to be "-in Parliament." " -In priros homilies," read " in privos homilies." In looking at Mr. Fox's work to find the pas sage I have mentioned, I stumbled upon this son tenco :--" It. can rarely indeed happen that the mischief to be apprehended from suffering any piroinal, however guilty, to escape, can be equal to that resulting from the violation of those rules tb which the innocent owe the security of all that is dear to them."----P. I have the honour to•he, with great respect, Your faithful Servant, ; JOHN ILLTSSELL„ TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN RUSSELL. MY LORD, Lonthul, Atig. 7,'1P20'. On my a rrival in town This morning, I find in the Papers of the day your letter to Ms. Wilberforce, and your view of the case of the Queen, as it may affect the country, in the forum of 'a. Petition tidlis Majesty. the King. You have thus made this Petition a public document, and conning as it does from your Lordship, a conspicuous Member oCtlit, revered 1-101,e of ittissell, entitled to and enjoying; that respect, which attends to the.latest posterity the descendants of the mighty dead, it cannot fail to make a deep impression, and it rnav perbaps be received by the country as the political creed of the Whig 'arty of England upon the present momentous question. As 'however, I cannot assent to the propriety of stopping all pro -ceedings .against the Queen, I feel called upon as a firm Si bi g , to make known the reasons which Induce ine in the joascnt instance to . diger wit liyonr Lordship. It may per s be .oSked,-why,a .prirate and anonymous individual orld",thus intrnde hi; sentiments 1.11 , 011 public notice ? I answer, that in the present times, it is the ilutyacvery man, : , .ees a great nanie'and ststendid talents,exerted generally in tire cause of the liberties and welfare of his country, fall.; ing in one instance into error, tr, nse his best endeavours to canose the filliaciei whic;l; coming freon such a quartt r,•may inure ctfertua!ly Wind the eyes and mislead theitulguients of others.--Withont, therefore, any further apology for intrud-' irz upon the. Public and Vs Lordship, I proceed at once to lii' consideration of your'l,etter and•Pelition. as well as your Lordship, have generally diffored.froM ilr.Willierfurce in his poli!ic:a views, at the same time that -- I have admired the sn , •erty with which he has constantly acted ; his errors have been those of the head, nut 'of the heart ; and thotighl can have no doubt whatever ~f his inclina tion at all times to devote his time and exert his talents, for' Ishathe conceives to be the publiO rood, I very much ques tion whether any exertion's of Which he is capable, could at the present moment ; confer a ll,:reat bc:nifit upon his country. ISor do I despond, as your Lordship . 'seems to despond, cif the power of the Whigs. Although they have' again' and again been defeated 'by Ministerial tnajot ities, they hare long yl , s , ssed, and they do still possess, a strong moral indnence over public feeling, which has in 'many instaneei, and ; I trust wiH again, check the progress of corruption.,Med force the Administration of the day into their own measnres.—l may say, look to the Repeal of the Property Tax, locik to there - Cisal•of a grant of !miney to the Duhe of Cumberland. , Best •• =to prOceed ; whether it was right or wrong•to leave her Ma iesty's name out of the Lit&gY, I should hold we are not yet swOified to decide; if the allegations against her be troc,, I cannot condemn the measure; the - omission . consti ',tars a very small part ,of the. numb!! less! injuries. inflicted upon an innocent woman ; hat ; to have included bee name in theLiturgyoneday, and on the next to have instituted pro, , Ceedings againSt her; in order to deprive her of her title . of• Queen, and divorce her front her husband, would, in my have been a state mockery of reigion.„.an outrage mute .coMmon sense and common feeling. . You say to Mr. Wilber-. force, the future historiinewill ask; whether it was right to . risk the welfare of England, her boasted , Constitotiont her ational power, on the event of the conduct •of the Princess. of Wales,in tier villa upon the Lake of Cinno ? I'e r, Cod forbid that the welfare of Englandt• heet Itisw hnititutiina, and National power should depend upon theissue of such :an iogoiry, or could be . put to hazard by the agitation of such a question. I have too' firin a reliance irpo'ti the'plaiir Sense and sterling virtue of the British people, 'to apprehend any real • danger to the 'State, even from the' line of e,ondmet which has • already been pursued; that as an individual, OfisapproVe of that line of conduct, is most true. I do, from my,heart, Ivor, detest, and abjure' Green Bags and Secret Committees; intil am ready to allow, that the folly and pusillanimity of Ministers have afforded stron - g , ground for the ditaffeeted to gain•converts to disaffeCtiony • and even to .leacl many the goad and viytuotts ,to prejudge the question, einftohiltl iu otbfressei to tier Majesty, declaratory of the codvictibn of the parties - of her perfect innocence, and-spotless purity, It be . • Comes, therefore, peculiarly the duty of the Whigs, at the stone time that they expose the, weakness, I . had ahno3t wiclic4ncsg, of the :Ministry upon the pri.sent occasion, to set Cite British people right as to the'real.nat Ore. of the case. `lite people may have been misled, but' thry cannot long be doped, and .the same goOd and noble . spirit„which now leads then] to takii parr with the Queen; whom they consider as • d ee ply l o jor e d,. will induct . . them to pause,When the case is - fairly 14efore, them, and gezteVoutly to acknoWledg,e/ Milt they' have acted prematurfiy. I consider 'the ease .terbe siro ply 'this :—Private differensei'S having unhappiry taken place be ' tweet] the Princess of Wales: and leer hoshanod tbe'Year after - theirnaarriage, a sepaiation; sanctioned by' his late Majesty, tools place; sonic tew years 'aftet wards; accitsations of adul tery and of great inmirreetnoss• in the privale life of.t he Prin cess, were laid before his Majesty, and by his command five noblemen were deputed to inquire]nto the truth of the alle gations. The report they Inirde in consequence, although it completely and siatisfactorily exoneratcd..the Princess frotn the accusation or having given birth to'a 'hiring with child, then ring with bus' wade the 'mime of Austin, yet most tinetly avowed' ei tttilave been guilty of great leyity and int proprieil Of C . wires .Captain Manhy, although' no cri minal act c E F,proved against - her. In epiasLquence of report,this 11: e Princess was 'subjected to the fatherly Teproof of his Majesty. Many persons, and the late lamented and virtuous Mr. Whitbread anlngst the number, believed her to be perfectly innocent, whilst a Considerable part of the com munity were equally convinced that the accusations . , particu larly as regarded captain tdanby, were nod, without some (emulation. The Princess, however, finding herself debarred from the prescoree,ol her late .Majesty, and shunned ,by a great part of•the female nobility of England, determined, shortly after the commencement of the Regency, to retire to the Continent ; and here we come to the main question. Th.e Princess had not been long upon the Continent, before she aas •left by most of ber attendants, both male and female, who had accompanied her' from'ke''glancl, and reports highly injurious to her reputation were conveyed home through.va rions channels, so as. to become subjects of common conver sation amongst the higher circles. It also became generally known, that 4 man of the name of Bergalui l who had heel' a common courier, wearing a livery, had been very suddenly rajsed to the rank of 'Chamberlain, covered with orders, and admitted to .her table, Such an elevation, the familiarity with which thli 'favourite was treated, the assumption of the name of his sister the Countess Oldi, as the .ierregnito title of the PrincesS, the introduction of are said sister:and other relatives of the favourite, as perlonal attendants. upon the Pt ineess; gave , rise to so general a Telma and so strong a be lief, that an adulterer-as intercourse subsisted between her Royal Highness and this Itergami, that. the Prince Regent thought it right tossend confidential agents abroad, to inquire into the . truth of these reports. The documents received from these agerits,•and contained in the . Green - llag, hare not been sects either by your Lordship or-myself; but neither of ns Call aloul - A that they were of •such a nature, as firmly to convince both his Majesty and his Ministers that the reports relative to the adulterous intercourse with this Eergami were but too well founded. And what was the personal conduct of his Majesty upon so painful a toovietiun ? Was it not noble, generous, conside rate, sacrificing his private feelings as 'an injured husband to the peace and quiet of his country ? His Majesty sought not ' redress for his private wrongs—No! hisinstructions to his Ministers were, let the Queen only remain abroad, let the impurity of her conduct be only bidden from the personal ob servation of my people, and I am satisfied. But when her -Majesty, conscious in her innocence, or hardened in her guilt (time only van show which was the case), determined to return to England e to iseave the accusations against her, and to claim and insist upon all the rights, privileges, and immu nities of a Qoecti Consort of these Realms—does your Lordship really think, that it would have been consistent with that enlightened duty, which his Majesty, as the father of his people, the high constitutional guardian of public morals, was bound to exercise, to have suffered a woman whom he and his Ministers firmly believed to be guilty of the disgraceful and 'degrading crime of adultery With a menial. to preside over the female rank and dignity of the Empire ? 'lt was not a husband trying to relieve himself from the burthen of an abandoned wife, but a father striving to rescue his innocent children from the pollution of an infamous mo ther; and his Majesty must have been dead to every feeling which can do honour to humao nature, if, with the comi c tion in his own mind of the Queen's guilt, he had hesitated to order her to be put upon her trial, the moment she see her foot upon British ground. It-has been ingeniously asserted by those it'll° compose the answers of her Majesty to the mis taken addresses ~ presented to her, that her:only crime was braving her accusers by coming to England. It is quite true that this is the only crime of which the generous feelings of his Majesty wished to take •cognizance. He was willing .that the moral turpitude, or spotless purity, the low depravity, or . elevated sentiment of the Queen, should eemain to be settled between her and her God, so long as the prevalence of her example could not prove injurious to his people. He, like his own beneficent Master, was unwilling to throw a stone against the woman accused of adaltery, although that woman was his own wife; and yet, such has been the conduct of Mi nisters, bringing doeli a Greesi Bag one day, and voting ano ther thattheirfquil'y (in order to institute which that very Bag was brought down) would be derogatory. to the dignity of the 'Clown, coil injurious to the Vest interests of the Empire, that I agr ee with your Lordship, that a feeling has been gene rated amongst the People that the Queen is to be oppressed, not tried ; and it is in order . to counteract that feeling that I am now writing; and by stating the case fairly, using' my humble endeavours to quiet the public 'mind. l'he guilt or innocence of the Queen ought not to rest upon the propriety •or impropriety lit the conduct of Minliters, who seem to have sh runle from the pt in, straight-forward path before them--- to hate been frightened at the , verymeasure which they must constitutionally have ,advised, and to have eiideaeoured to shift the odium free) `their Own shoulders. even at the hazard of compromising th tiun arid character of their Royal Master, I Ted the Whi g s been in putver „how different wonlifhave been their colonies. They would either have recommended to Parliament, as was Suggested by Lord I-Jolland, the propriety of relieving the illustrious parties from an union imposed open them by a law, which is in opposition to every principle of divine institution, and of natural sigh ; er they would have weighed 'well en accusation before they had made it, but haying once press:Wed, it, there would have been no slue • no Green Bags—no Secret Conanittees,and they wourd sooner liaysthilfeited their heads Upon a scaffold, titan have voted the.very eaSilrt. proposed by themselves, derogatory to the die n ity of the crown, and nijorioes to the best interests of the y eo pi sse Every thi n e would hate been as open as day-light. "Try would-hare &elated 1111011 their responsibility, that they Were prepared to prove noun the testionooy•of undoubted wit nesses, that the Queen had been guilty of this lowest possible adultery. The charge 'would have been well defined aad cleanly drawn mit ; the list of witnesses granted, ;Ind her Maj e sty (verily called upon to disprove the charges against her,' before the highest treboual of the country. And when the charge had been satisfactorily proved, and not before, they would hate introduced . a Bill into Parliament to annul her marriage with hit ltenje.st y, sand to reduce her to the si tuation of an u moan led Princess:of the House of Brunswick. The only difference bet Ween this and the ordinary process in All bills of divorce between private parties, woula bare been, • that, instead id anplying to inferior counts, which the high dignity of his Majesty could not allowe-the preliminary 'proofs would have been sehmitted to Parliament, and a Bill 'of Divorce' passed afterwards in the usual torm.• It may he eel& that even this mode of proceeding would hare been' liable to objection. Ilut it is the very essence of our Constitution,' that 7 there - Can exist Ito sac it without a remedy. ioslr Lordship will, I am sure, lie ready to ad here to the good old Whig principle, that all power isgranted for the good - of the people, not for the advantage of the individual, and that the dignity, the honour, the paiver and peculiay whichsattaeh to the Queen Consort, be yond those of ;toy other/ern es. courerte, are granted not fur her benefit, buli - or the purpose of upholding flue high dignity . of the Crown,' limb of prnarofing the peaceu happiness, and `homier of her te s sejj ee d, ari d i n their joint persons the general welfare and etbaeacter of the country, so that their high rank mey shed the infituence of eserinple, find the virtues and parity of the Crown extend to the meanest cottage in the- Empire. For such purposes, and fur such purposes only, were any pe culiar privileges granted to a Qiiein Consort. Bet when it can be openly shown, in the feee -of the country, by evidence et the liar of he:House of Lords, that 'the Queen-has so tar dise - saced her high st to len as to condi seend to admit a menial to her embraces will vour Lordshfiecontend that she ( - ought not to be deereSed ? • the fact is, that immorality of this nature in ei Queen, has beets copsidered by g one forefathers a crime of such tarp:utile, that they have placed it in the highest Glass of crime Inman to mar penal code ; and although this is probably founded on the geonntl that a spurious offspring • should not he palmed upon the British Throne, yet adultery in a Queen of sixty-five years of age, tidally past all possibi lity oirNilii- bearink;wonld be equally treasme by law, as in a queen of twenty. I :ippc7d,. therefore, to your Lordship and to the plain good sense of the British people, whether it he consistent with that Inflate principle of justice on which the common law of the land is founded', thetwhat w oo l,' h e high treason it ceimmitted in this country, should become perfectly innocent if committedebreed? 'file question, therefore. re• solves itself into this; whether, let the condiret of her MejeletY have fleet) ever so Infamous aturoad,no melee should b e token of it in this eminfey, or whether itbe not nlore congenial-with the common haw else' practice of the country, to deprive tt woman se acting, Of her rank'and station, by annulling her marriage ? What would be the caw' in private life etroteld Slot proof of adultery Committed abroadese sufficient to e' Oeble any heehand in theeonotry to obtain a di risree ? I may wit 'less the recent ea, e 'of my ; Lard Glerawly. In this letter, I have equally abstained with your Lordship It em giyingany opinions either .direetly or iudirectly e as to the guilt or innocence of her Majesty. I have only endeavoured to show, that his Majesty, believing her to be guilty, would not have acted at the father of hie people,- had, he. hesitated .to put her upon her trial ; and the only just cause of complaint on the part of the Queen, seems to me to be founded upon the mode in which the Bill was introduced into the House of Lords, namely, upon the fteport of a Secret Committee, instead of upon an open, solemn c h arge p resen t e d by hi s Majesty 's Ministers upon their constitutional responsibility. 'ld the present state of proceedings, however, law persuaded,.and I believe the e reat body of th e en li g h tene d peop l e o f E ng l an d are persua d e d like wise, that it i s b e t ter f or a ll pa r t i ee, t h at a solemn i nq uiry into the' charges Presented against her Majesty, should go on at the Bar of the e I l ouse of Lords: Let the Whigs stand firmly at their posts; let them watch nerrowly all the proceedings, And use their utmostelforts that the inquireshould be yen- , ducted With Mu ifinded justice. Let thew do this, and the country will go along wlthibem, whatever may he the issue. With this watchfulnets on their part, her Majesty, if innocent, need not entertain any fear that even the present corrnpt Ministry can prevail- against her ; but if guilty, and her guilt is clearly and satisfactorily proved to the perfect "conviction of the independent Whig party of England. let them boldly state., this conviction to the country, and it will be satisfied. have the honour to be, Your Lordship's most obedient servant. • AN OLD WHIG. f * • The foregoing Letter was first published in The Morn 'ing Chronicle of the .11th inst. and several of our Country :Readers having heard of it, have desired that it might appear in THE SUN. (bough we disapprove of some passages, yet the Writer views the inquiry into the guilt or innocence of Tue QUEEN in so clear A fight, and argues with so manly, candid, and independent a spirit, that we readily insert it intim We from the first eonoidered the inquiry as inevitable, though we should have rejoiced if there had been a possibi lityi • of averting t. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. STAFFORDSHIRE. CRIM CON. The Assizes were concluded by. a trial which excited a great deal of interest amongst the most respectable people .of that part of the country. It was an action of damages brought by an emi nent .Solicitor against his apprentice, a young man of very effeminate appearance but good euca tion and address, . whose age is little more than twenty, for a criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The dainages were laid at ten thousand pounds. Mr. PEAnsorystated the case for the plaintiff, who, he said, was well known in that part of the country as a Gentleman of high honour and re spectability. Several years ago this Gentleman was married to a young Lady of great beauty and accomplishments, by whom he had a very nu merous family . . Most of the children unfortunately were females ;.but it was not until lately that their father had to regret that they were of that sex, for until thedefendaut became an inmate, they ; had a mother to whose protection and examnple they could look with confidence, and in whose solici tude they had seen the most undoubted evidence of an attachment, not ,to be. destroyed .or di vided. The miserable change which had taken place in the mind of the unhappy mother, by which the connecting links .between mother and child, and wife and husband, were broken, was attributable to , a series of ingenious contrivances by .the defendant, who, notwithStanding his youth; had exhibited a maturity in those baneful arts to which females in these days were so fre quently exposed, and which 'so ina47 had proved themselves unable ..to resist. A few years since the-defendant had been placed under the care of the plaintiff, and had nearly served his time, when it was discovered that there was an attention upon his part towards 'the plaintiff's wife, which was not reconcilable to the forms that ought .to govern social intercourse. The defendant was chargeable With the basest ingra titude, as well as with the offence which, of all others, tended to rain the happiness of society. lie had been treated with the greatest tenderness while - a. boy by the plaintiff, who had gradually raised him, as his years advanced, to a very high and profitable station in his friendship. Bat there were some minds upon which obligations ope rated to the disgrace of human nature, and it was no novelty to find benefits reproached by the immediate return of a train of 'evils - which seemed to have grown out of the deepeSt sufferings: The defendant took his rank amongst men of that de scription, and,it : was to mark their detestation of Such an offence, as it would be proved lie had committed, that the Jury were called upon, as well as to give such damages as would recoth pence the injured husband for his loss. 'Several witnesses were then called, who prov ed that the plaintiff had always acted with atten tion to the defendant, and had introduced him to the most respectable society. The plaintiff's at tention' to his wife was also stated to be such as it would be the duty of a husband to'pay to his wife. The ,adulterous intercourse was also proved. In the course of the trial, however, it came out that the plaintiff had taken advantage of the youth of a near female relation of his wife'R while the young lady was upon a visit - at .his house, and seduced her. His wife's age was 38, while that of the defendant was but 20. Mr. JERvis commented upon the facts which made so important a change in- the appearance of things. He contended that the boy, whose cause he had to defend, shouldbe Considered the seduced instead of the seducer; that it was rather impossible he should- be master of the deep, contrivances by which the affections of a virtuous woman were to be taken away from her husband and children, and fixed upon a stranger, and that the conduct of the husband was in truth :.o be looked 'upon as the foundation of all thosecalarnitie's of which that husband now complained in the depth of his afflictions. The Learned Counsel than severely animadverted upon the mischieVous'example held out by this husband to his wife, in .his. treatment of his wife's relation, and observed, that the mis fortune that formed the ground of the action should4operate as a warning to all husbands who were tempted to acts of infidelity, by having the object of temptation under the same roof with them.-7 Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages One Shilling. 1-4121.- COIINWALL ASSIZE ti, la. M URDER.—Sarah Polgrean, aged 37, was ar raigned on an indictment, charging her with hav ing administered arsenic to her husband, Henry Polgrean, on the loth of July last, of which he died on the isth. The JunoE recapitulated the evidence with great precision ; and the Jury without hesitation pronounced a verdict of Guilty. Ilis Lordship then proceeded tapass the awful sentence of the law, and ordered the prisoner to be executed on Saturday morning, and her body to be given for dissection. The wretched prisoner was so greatly over whelmed by her dreadful fate; that she was ob liged to be supported during the time sentence was passing, and was carried back to prison in a state of insensibility.
