THE QUEEN'S LETTER
THE KING. •

SI a •••• A fter the unparalleled sod unprovoked per-
secution whiclo, during • series of years. has been
corned on against me under the twine and authority
of your hltijesiy—and which persecution, instead of
hying mollified by time, time has rendered only
more and more malignant and unrelenting—it is
not without a great sacrifice of private feeling that
I now, even in the way of remonstrance, bring my.
self to address this letter to your Majesty. But,
bearing in mind that Royalty rests ou the basis of
public good ; that to this paramount consideration
all others ought to submit ; sod aware of the con-
sequences that may molt from the present uncoil.
stitutional. illegal, and hitherto unbelted-of proceed-
ings ; with a mind thus impressed. I cannot refrain
from laying my grievous wrongs once more before
Mur Majesty, in the hope that the justice which your
ajesty may, by evil-minded counsellors, be still
disposed to refuse to the claims of a dutiful, faithful.
and injured wife, you may -be induced to yield to
considerations connected with the honour and dig-
nity of your Crown, the stability of your Throne.
the tranquillity of your dominions, the happiness
and sorely of your just end loyal people, *knee
generous hearts revolt at oppression sad emelt",
and especially whets perpetrated by • perversion and
a mockery of the laws.
A sense of what is due to my character and sea
forbids me to refer minutely to the real causes Of our
titenewic separation, or to the numerous unmerited
insults offered me previously to that period; Amt.
leaving to your Majesty to reconcile with the agar-
vine vow the act of drivitig, by such means. a wife
frees beneath your roof. with an infaist in her argue,
your Majesty, will permit me to remind you, that
that act was entirely your own; that the separation,
so far from being sought for by me, was a sentence
pronounced upon me, without any cause assigned,
other than that of your own inclinations, which, as
your Majesty was pleased to allege, were not under
your control.
Not to have felt, with regard to myself. chagrin
at this decision of your Majesty, would have impel'
great insensibility to the obligations of decorum ;
not to have dropped • tear iu the face of that be-
loved child, whose future sorrows were then but too
'easy to foresee, would have marked me as unwor.
thy of the name of mother ; but. not to have sob-
witted to it without repining, would have indicated
a consciousness of denterit. or a want of thoar feel-
ings which belong to affronted and insulted female
honour.
The " tranquil and comfortable society" tendered
to me by your Majesty, formed. in my mind. but a
poor compensation for the grief occasioned by cnn.
sidering the wound given to public morals in the
fatal example produced by the indulgence of your
Majesty's inclinations; more especially when I con-
templated the disappointment of the nation, who
had so munificently provided for our union, who had
fondly cherished such ',leasing-hopes of happiseas
arising from that union, and who had bailed it with
Such affectionate and rapturous joy.
But, alas! even tranquillity and comfort were too
much for me to enjoy. From the very threshold of
your Majesty's mansioo the mother of your child
was pursued by spies, couspirathrs, and traitors, em.
ployed, encouraged, and !caseated to lay snares For
the feet, and to plot against the reputation and life,
of her whom your Majesty had so recently and so
soleinuly vowed to honour. to love, and to cherish.
In withdrawing from the einbmces of my parents,
in giving my hand to the son of George the Third
amid the Heir Apparent to the British throne, nu.
thing less than a voice from Heaven would have
made me fear injustice or wrong of any kiud.—
What, thee, was toy astonishineut at finding that
treasons owaiiist sir had been carried on and ma-
tured, perjuries -against me had been methodised
and embodied, • secret tribunal hod been held, a
trial of my actions had taken place, and a decisiers.;

Still there was one whose upright mind nothing
Could warp, in whose breast injustice never found a
place, whose hand was idwitys ready to raise the on.

good and gracious father and Sovereign remained in.
the exercise of his Royal functions, his unoffending
daughter-in-law had nothing to fear. As long as
the protectitig hand of your late ever.hrloved and
ever-lamented father was held over me. I was safe.
But the melancholy eveut which deprived the na-
tion of the active exertions of its virtuous Kin.
bereft me of friend,aild protector. and of all hope of
future tranquillity and safety. To calumniaie your
innocent wife was sow the shortest road to Royal fa.
your; and to betray her was to lay the sure foundation
of bouodlosa riches and titles of honour. Before
claims like these. talent, virtue, long services. your
own personal friendships, your Royal engagements,
promises, and pledges, written as well as verbal,
melted into air. Your Cabinet was founded on this
baits. You took to your councils men. of whose
persons, as well as whose principles, you had ire.
variably expressed the strongest dislike. The in-
terest of the eeriest, and even your own feel.
ings, in all oilier respects, were sacrificed to the
gratification of your desire to aggravate my suf.
funny, and insure my humiliation. You took
to your councils and your bosons men whom
you hated, whose abandonment of, and whose readi-
ness to sacrifice me wore their only merits, and
whose power has been exercised' in a sunnier, and
has been attended with consequences, worthy of its
origin. From thil unprincipled and unnatural
shoots bare eprisag the manifold evils which this
Nation has new to endure, and which present a moss

Whatever may be the precedents se to Bill. of

relating to the Queen of Henry the Eighth,can apply

it is intended by the Bill to do you chat you deem

You have made your complaint to the House of

and then the House. merely upon that Report, hate

part of my, *dotes, bat it is they who have broogla
he the Bin ; mud it is too netorieree that they hove
always a majority in the Moose ; so that, without
any other, here is ample ',roof that the House will
decide in favour of the Bill, and, of come,
against me.
But further. there are reasons for your Ministers
having a majority in this case, and clutch reasotio do
not apply to common asses.. Your Majesty is the
Mastiff; to you it belong, to appalled and. to
'kettle Peers. Many of the present Peers have been
raised to that dignity by yourself. and almost the
whole VIII be, at your "ill sod pleasure, further
elevated. The far greater part of the Peers .hold,
by themselves and their families, offices, pessimist.
and other etnolutueoto, solely at the will and plea-
sure of your Majesty, and these, of course. your
Majesty can take away whenever you please. There
are more thaufour:fiflit of the Peers is this Utica-
lieu. and there are many of them who might thus
be deprived of the far, better pert of their incomes.
If, contrary to all expectation, there should be
found, in some Peer% likely to amount to.a male.
• ray, a disposition to reject the Bill. some of these
Peers may be ordered sway to their ship., -regi-
ments, government., sod other duties; mud, which
is an equally 'demon power, new Peers may be
created fur the purpose. and give thvir.trote 'lathe
decision. That peer Majesty'/ Ministers would
advise theie measures, if found accessory to reader
their prosecutiou successful, there can be very little
doubt ; seeing that they have hitherto stoniest at
nothing, however anklet or odious.
