Since writing the above the Princess has been advised to
address the Speaker of the House of Commons, inclosing
copies of the CoFrespondence laid before the Public. We
must confess our feelings are rather with the substance o
Mr. Methuen's motion, though evidently unparliamentary,
as striking at the root of the evil at once, than, with the
equivocatinq counsels of those who approve the tendency
of the procAing, while they actually oppose it. We ob-
serve, that the organ of " all the talents" was particularly
anxious to see the subject ihip—as well he might, since
the report of his party first gave birth to all those ob-
noxious measures that now harrass the Public.
But though the great advocate of the Princess is no more
—though Mr. Perceval has ceased to live, his integrity and
firmness are still felt too sensibly in our system, not to cur-
tain the reputation of his illustrious client against the ar-
rows directed by the hand of despair) or barbed by the
demoniasm of malevolence.

THE QUEEN TO THE PIUNCESS OF WALES.
" WINDSOR CASTLE, MAY 23, 1814.

The Qqicen cc-insiders it to be her duty to lose no time
in acquainting the Princess of Wales, that she has received
a communication from her son the Prince Regent, in which
he states, that her Majesty's intention of holding two
Drawing-rooms in the ensuing month, having been notified
to the Pubic, he must declare, that he considers that his
own presence at her Court cannot be dispensed with ; and
that he desires it may be distinctly understood, for reasons
of which he alone can be the judge, to be his fixed and unal-
terable determination not to meet the Princess of Wales
upon any occasion, either in public or private.
'The Queen is thus placed under the painful necessity of
intimating to the Princess of Wales the impossibility of her
Majesty's receiving her Royal Highness at her Drawing-
rooms. CHARLOTTE, R."

ANSWER OF THE PRINCESS OF WALES TO THE QUEEN.

prise and regret.

which must he as painful to your Majesty as to myself.
Your Majesty is well acqmainted with the affectionate re•
Bard with which the King was so kind as to honour me, up

his Majesty's subjects has so much cau'e to lament as my-
! self: and that hi.. Majesty was gi aeiously pleased to bestow
upon me the most unequivocal and gratifying proof of his
attachment and approbation, by his public reception ct ine
at his Court, at a season of severe and unmerited affliction,
