THE KING AND QUEE.V.

The following correspondence passed between the
King and Queen a year after their marriage, and
within two months of the birth of their daught.ar:—
•• Windsor Castle, April 50, 1;96.
'6 Manx,—As, Lord Chohnondeley informs roe that you
wish I woulddetine, in writing,* the terms upon which we are to
live, I shall endeavourto explain myself upon that head with as
much clearness and with as much propriety as the nature of the
subject will admit. Our inclinations are not in our power, nor
should either of us be held answerable to the other, bee.use
nature has not made us suilshle to each other. Tranquillity and
comfortable society is, however, in our power: let our intercourse,
therefore, be restricted to that, anti I will distinctly subscribe to
the conditiont w hich you required. through Lady Cholinontleleyt
that even in toe event of any
.accident happening t 0 my daugh-
ter, which I vast Providence in its mercy will avert, I stall nut
infringe the terms of the restriction by proposing, at any period,
a connexion of a inure particular nature. I shall now tonally
close this disagreeable correspondence, trusting that, as we litre
completely explained ourselves to each other, the rest of our lives
will be passed m uninterrupted tranquillity.
•' i am, Madam, with great truth, very sincerely yours,
(Signed) 6` GLOItGE i'."

ANSWER.
" The avowal of your conversation with Lord Cliolmondeley
neither sutprises not offends me: it merely confirmed what you
have tacitly msinteded for this twelveinclith. But after this, it
would be a wantof delicacy, or rather an unworthy ineannets in
me, were I to complain of those conditions which you impose
upon yourself.
I should have returned no answer to your letter, if it had
not been conceived in ternis to make it doubtful whether this
aatingemeat proceeds from you or from me; and you arc aware
that the credit of it belongs to you alone.
'• The letter which you announce to 1111:1 as the last, obliges me
to communicate to the King, as to my Sovereign and my Father,
both to your avo.val and my answer. You win find enclosed the
copy of my letter to the King. I apprize you of it, that I may
TM incur die slightestreprol,cli of duplicity from you. As I
have at this moment na protector but his Majesty, I refer myself
solely to hint upon this subject: and if my conduct meets his
approbation, I shall be in souse degree at least consoled. 1 retain
every sentiment of gratitude 06r the tituation in which I find
my self, us Princess of Wales, thabied by your means to indulge
in the free exercise of a vii cue mar to my heart--1 mean

enarity.
" It will be my duty. to act upon another motive—
that of giving an example of Italie.= anti resignation under
every trial.
" Do:nie the justice to believe that I bliall never cest,e to pray
for you happiness, and to be " Your much th.coted "

Dr. Parr performed divine service before the
Queen yesterday. Her Majesty's Counsel were
with her during the morning. Several English
gentlemen of distinction that had •isited the Queen
abroad called in the course of the day to offer their
services to give evidence for her Majesty.
On Saturday the Queen sent off three persons to
the Continent to bring witnesses of the highest rank
and respectability to depose to her Majesty's mode
of life. Upwards of 100 persons of this character
arc expected to rebut the testimony which is to be
brought against her Majesty by the filth and dregs
of Italian inns and post-houses. The Queen went
to Barnes yesterday afternoon, but returned before
nightfall. She was greeted by thousands on the
road. Great numbers of well-dressed females seem-
ed anxious to pay the most respectful attention to
her wherever she passed; arid the assemblage of
respectable people in Portman-street was so great,
that the road from Oxford street to Portman-square
was completely blocked up. The attachment of the
respectable part of the community was more warm
anti more general yesterday than it has been on any
former occasion since her Majesty has come to face
her enemies.
