In obedience to the commands of your royal highness, we have
ltelen into our must s-rtous corr,icioration the letter from her Royal

Highness the Prin. ess of Wales to your Royal Highness, which has
appeared In the public papers, and has been referred to us by your
yal Highness, ut which lett r the Princess of Wales, amongst other
- tuatters, complains that Ote ietercourse between her Royal Highness
and her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte, has been subjected to
certain restrictions. •
We have also taken into our most serious consideration, together
with the other papers referred to us by your Roy-1 Highness, all th,.
documents relative to the Inquiry instituted in 1806. by coinnaind of,
his Majesty, iron the truth of certifin represetrtations, respecting the
conduct of her Royal lirgliness the Princess of Wales, which appear
to have been pressi.cl upon the attentn,n of yeur Royal Highness, in
consequence of the advice of Lord Thuri.rw, and upon grou itd s of
public duty, by whom they were transmitted to His !Majesty's consi-
deration. And your Royal flightless having been gracioully pleased
tg command us to report our opinions to your Royal Highness, whether,
tinder all the circurustsuces of the case, it be tit and proper, that the
intercourse between the Princes:, of Wales and her daueliter, the
Princess Charlotte, should continue to be subject to regulation and
restraint—
We beg I. ave humbly to report to your Royal Highness, that after a
full examination of all the documents before us, we ate of ',pinion, that
under all the circumstances of the c,!se, it is highly fit and proper, with
a view to the welfare of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte, in
which are equally iirvulsezd the happiness of your Royal Ilieleress in
your p,!rentat arid Royal character, and the most important lidere‘ts of
the State. the t the intercourse between her Ro:fal Highness the Prin-•
cess of Wales ;IA her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte, should
continue to be subject to reg .latici and restraint
We humbly trust that we way be permitted, without being thought to
exceed the limits of the duty imposed en us, respectfnlly to express the
juit sew we entertain of the motives by which your Royal Highness has
been•actuated in the postponement of the confirmation of her Royal
Highness time Princess Charlotte, as it appears, by a statement tinder
the hand of her Majesty the Queen. that your Royal Highness bus con-
firmed in this respect to the declared will of His Majesty who had
been pleased to direct, that such ceremony should not take place till
her Royal Rigliness should have completed her eighteenth year.
We also humbly trust, that we may he further permitted to notice
some expressions m•the letter her Royal highness the Princess of
!Wales, which may pussibly be construed as implying a charge of too se-
rious a nature to passed over without observation. We refer to words
sub gned traducers " As this expression, from the manner in which
it is introdue,d, may, perhaps, be liable to imscoustruction ( however
mp...sible a ni..y be to suppose th .t. it can have been su intended ) to
have reference to some part of the-conduct of your Royal Highness;
we fee! it our bounden they not to omit this opportunity of declaring,
acrd the Inmost ample proof, that
aspersion. .
