lleipurrhage was 'pouring tnto. Ahe which 'was afferwards fdond in a " considerable " • ti;y in the inspection of , Sjr EVBEARO ° '4ol' l'ir:syinproms that followed, let. the party say what they will, of spasms, &c., were nothing but • the common symptoms, not particularly belong 7 • ing. as they iii their cant have remarked, to the Ref al Family, bu't symptoms of every person, of every• Patient who dies from exhaustion and .loss of blood. This change of scene, from hope to 6ra t , introduced to the fatal bed chamber, Dr. • SlMS, ; and. Dr. for the first'tinie, when hri• fate was seated; a quarter' before twelve, ine•- • ‘itably sealed. !have hut just one more observation to make, it diedelivery of theiintant and the delivery of the after-hit th were so effected as to leave the. Princess '• as well aml composed as Ladies usually e immecli-ately after delivery," how .happens it • that Dr. BAILLIEj who was so courteously in vited to he present upon the occasion, as this Blifor says he was., did not pay•his respects to his Royal Mistress . , and,' be the first to offeelier his congratulations I h fs 101.10 7.11y3.0 One more question that now strikes these three medical Gentlemen', who `signed three welt-authenticated di,pateheg, giving us at least. the Report tip to nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, the time when the Princess was delivered of ,the still-born Infant, could think of separating without coming to some sort of resolution - of tilling the Public what passed afterwards; for hithert6 we knoW nolhing of it authenticated fr2m t tient up to the moment of her Royal High ' ness's expiration in my opinion was a dory ; the Public expected it was due to . them. • Was it not for the Public inforMation that they signed and sent away the three other dispatches What credit shaThWelte - reafter pay to well-authen, tit:ated dispatches:if we only have the juvanda and not the Ledendu ! ! !—Let the Public draw the cuutiusion. . , _ The mansion of Claretitimt became deserted in the morning, and on the 7th, which was the day after, so close did one professional man follow another,t Sir EVERARD HOME, as SUrgeon to his ajesty, made his visit; and here is offered serious room for inquiry. - . The cpies - tion is, whether Sir EVERARD came there to perform the office of. embalming only p • •.whieh might have been,,quietly•done and - with the exposure of only those parts which, are. cm dained by general usage . to . beinchn i ed in ,the.prp } cess of embalming If he Was sent there'P”reth for that purpose, .nothing can be more efear. than; that he exceeded that commission, and :that. he enteredintO•a regular • and • general` examination, beginning - at the head and ending at the extrenrest part of the ti unk of the Royal body. The Public. will nbserve, that there is no question upon this . fact, drat it stands confessed, and has been, pub lished, and that the,presumed motive, forsooth,. for such minute dissection was , to - a s ce rtain what . was the cause of the Princess's death. Ile tells us, .particularly, that he examined the brain, that he examined the - heart, and found that the pericar dium contained 2 ounces of red coloured fluid, that- the stomach Contained nearly three pints of li qu id (how s it,gular it was that the camphor when the Priricess vomited, shonid haVe made its escape, and should have been known to be cam phor when it' left three pints of fluid be hind it, as before 12 o'clOck the Princess's power ofsWallowing was past',. and her final doom was • fixtql ! !) • At length, in the prosectiting of this dissection, there comes, out an important confession, that which Tidies Newspaper, feeling that it was so important, suppressed, when it copied from the Monthly journal; and which happens to be the only thing worth attending to for obtaining the true cause, and the only cause, of the death of the Princess. I repeat it again, if we throw aside every thing else to account for the cause of the - Princess's death, and keep only this which fol. logs, we have the true cause of her death ; and if we leaie this out, the cause cannot be accounted for. From what I hive said, it is worthy to re mark the loose manner in which this important paragraph is here put down as an article in Sir EV F RAR D HOZsiE'i Catalogue of Dissections : *".rhe uterus contained a cousiderable quantity of blood, and extended as high up . in the . abdomen as the navel, and ,the hour-glass contraction was still very apparent." The word " considerable," to do the Editor of the Medical Journal justice, is put in italics. I . dare say this arose • from his surprize, because there are points beyond • which good men will never go. It•is curious to remark, that Sir Eva - HOME, so exact as he was about the fluid in the ventricles of the brain, in the measurement of . the fluid of •the heart, and of the stomach, should have been content with calling the .quantity of blood found in the uterus by the indefinite term •" considerable," when if this viscus had not un dergone the mOst important sufferings in the ca tastrophe, it never would, God knows, have been bislot.t - o have ;of into any examination or ex posture ht all. How is, this to be accounted for That is another question. The opinion that seems to - be adlteittl'to by the three Medical Gentlemen, Doctors IlattlitE, and . Sit Riot-fano CROFT, all along frotwthe time • that their publication came out °ollie Friday nrirning after the death of Oft •, , Princess,' w hich publication I alluded to in my'forinerletter,' ' and-which was inserted in all the NewspapetV word for word; came troth those threeCentlemen.

Sir EVERARD HOME and Dr. BAILLIE .are so far, akin, as Sir EVERARD HOME..was . Brother-irt-Law to JOHN HUNTER, the thiCIC- of Dr. BAILLIe 7 ; berefore, both Dr. 13AILLIE anti Sir RICHARD CRUET could have the easiest iceeis . litissible, if 'they had so pleased, lo the Diiecting Chamber during the examination. They had. even a right to it ; and it will-be ever a matter of ,-astonkab ment bow it came to 'pass., that Dr. BAIL LILT whose great ohjett of Lis life has been to attend dissections, Ikflin had been, a Lecturer in Wind mill-sti eet„ and who has publihired a popular Book of Morbid Anatomy; chiefly from,the Notes .61 Dr. WILLIAM HUNTER, and equal, as . some say, to any thing by MottoAGNt, shoniti,not have been pre•eut- during this erentttel process, when the united judgiiieur of all of them was pretended to be foiled iri .finding oy . t that unexpected' cause of death,. and imploring that fatecatastrophe which has thus eclipsed the most exalted hopes of the.Em- pire. In the Contemplation of Truth-, and that is what we are in search of, and .that is ivliat -the Medical Gentlemen persist in keeping hack from us, the Public say, that they must have it ; al though it be wrung frbm•them. In the contem plation of Truth, the Public ,miglit become their own Limners of Art, and with Kery little.'diffi culty; for the.figure of Truth is sblair, so clear,. so self-evident, and of a substance sn tangible, it comes so boldly out of the canvass,' that it,can never be seen and mistaken ; whereas, its coutl•ter frit, worse than a bad copy, wily not stand) . close inspection, and must vanish ,by 'coMpa.4, rtson. .

" Thy Root is ever in its Grave." HERBERT. There is a charge at the. concluSion of the Edi tor's 'Criticism against those who have disturbed this question ; so that if the Gentlemen of the Faculty at Claremont choose to remain mute, I must be content. The very reason why I am not content, is because they are mute. The word phalanx but ill applies to me and my. Printer, for that is my only, phalank. If it be meant for me, he has brought into one word what the Poet Ovid has taken four to explain the 'same thing ; he says nos Duo turba sumus. There is also an insinuatiOn as if malice bad something to do with the .business ; what .1 write I put my name to, and it is for the Public to judge,. whether , th 4 can discern any malice or envy 'or pride. I 'will close this letter with a de scription which the 'Reader may apply as he likes. Envy first originated in the bosom of folly through pride ; it is afraid of being disclosed, and its dark disguises are not 'to 'be unfolded or' softened. — Merit in others is a weight which Overcomes the envious like the Giant so well known in the fable, who was an enemy tothe Gods, and consequently was by' the Gob set on fire. He hurled on all sides, but 'in vain, the, fire which was devouring • him; lie struggled'and blisphemed•in his pro, found prisOn; and thought that he ,swats making the World tremble, but 'he only. shook Mount Etna which oppressed him, it fell, and• he was entombedin the mass.

SALUTATION EXTRAORDINARY.--On Saturday Louisa Sanderson and Mary Anne Chatfield were - broughtup, charged with 'committing an outrage ous assault upon a fruit-salesman 'in 'Change alley, COrnhill. The complainant,, it appeared, was Standing at his shop-door on Friday afternoon, when he saw the two 'defendants enter the alley. .Their appearance attracted .his particular notice, ,and he was silently . admiring them, when one of them advanced suddenly towards .him; seized him ,by the nose, and dragged him from the door across. the • alley. Irritated at this unexpected salute*, he was half a mind • to return .the compli- Ment. in kind, but contented himself with giving: the .la 4 a,'gentle kic.k.7' This .roused the inilig natiOn of the other fair one, and both commenced an Amazonian attack upon the defenceless head 'of. time cOmplajnant, and (in . his own words) gave him " a' few of the soundestslaPs in the t ficabe ever. bad since he *as born." Unable.to defend him fearing sotiie serious bodily harm, he called,ior assistance, and - a ,constable soon mail& his appearance. The , instrument of -the law" showed his authority; and was 'ab.mit to take the ladies into custody, when they•immediat.ely - iltrn.r.

The fruiterer, who before seemed the .most indignad' of men, could not withstand this appeal to " softer nature," and was willing to abandon tbt charge, when the constable carne forward, ant said he had been so severely treated, that 10 could not suffer the business to pass over thaf quielty, and begged that the defendants might bi hcid to hail, in ()Met ; that he might indict theo for an assault. The LORD MAYOR said,lia had no doubt btft the ladies were willing to compensate liinalor aal damage he had sustained, and tteougbt-to be so' tished with that. The constable said be was little inclined to be hard with the fair sex as art! man, but he believed, had his Lordship been ; 0 severely handled by , t4e ladies and their chainpioiO as he had been, his 'gallantry would not stood the test. The defendants were ordered t 0 find bail, which theydid,,, and were liberated. BO W-StRE ET.
