Memorandums of the. hcaels of conversation between Lord Moira,
Mr.. Lowten, a►n! myself.

May 14, 1806.
May iS, 1806.-1 received a letter from Lord Moira, of
which the following is an exact copy:—
St. James's-place, May 15, 18(16.
SIR,—A particular circumstance makes me desire to have
the pleasure of seeing you, and indeed renders it indispen-
sable that you should take the trouble of calling on me. As
the trial in Westminster Hall occupies the latter hours of
the day, I must beg von to be with me as early as nine
o'clock to-mo:row morning. In the mean time, it will be
better that you' 'should not appt ize any one of my having
requested you to converse with me.
1 have the honour, sir, to be,
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) MOI RA•

To Mr. Mills,

This is the paper A. referred to by the
affidavit of Thomas Ftlnteiiies, sworn
before the the 23th Sept. 1806. THOS. I.EACH.

In consequence of the above letter, I waited on his Lord-
ship exactly at nine o'clock. In less than five minutes I was
admitted to his room, and by him received very politely.
He began the conversation by stating he wished .to converse
with me on a very delicate subject—that I might rely on his
honour, that what passed was to be in perfect confidence; it
*as his duty to his Prince, as his Councillor, to inquire into
the subject, which he had known for some time; and the
• inquiry was due also to my character. Ile then stated* that
a deposition had been made by a domestic of her rhoyal
Highness the Princess of Wales, deposing, as a declarfifisen
made by me, that her Royal Highness was pregnant, and that ,
I made inquiries when interviews might have taken place
with the Prince. I answered, that I had never declared the
Princess to be with child, nor ever made the inquiries
stated—that the declaration was an infamous falsehood. This
being expressed with some warmth, his Lordship observed,
that I might have made the inquiries vet): innocently, con-
ceiving that her Royal Highness could not be in that situa-
tion hut by the Prince. I repeated my assertion of the
falsehood of the declaration, adding, that though the con-
versation was intended to he mnfidential. I felt my character
strongly attacked by the declaration, therefore it was ne-
cessary the declaration should be investigated• I had no
doubt but the character I had so manv years maintained
would make my assertion believed before the deposition of a
domestic. I then requested to know what date the decla-
ration bore. His Lordship said he did not remember, bit
he had desired the solicitor to meet me, wit° would show
it to me. I then observed, that I should in confidence
communicate to his Lordship why I was desirous to know
the date. I then stated to his Lordship, that soon after
her Royal Highness came to hiackheath, I attended her
in an Hines!, with Sir Francis Millman, in: which I bled
her twice. Soon after her recovery, she thought proper to
limn a regular medical appointment, •and appointed myself
