lIE QUEEN.
b•Nittiall nti).44 tßrOalcintEtyTTEß.
Y R D-. 1 have been honoured b) her • • 's command
to acknowledge the receipt of your Lorusbip's let eit yestc.day,
rind to state that her Majesty cimnot for a moructrf misutaler-
stand its real purport.
The Queen perceives that the King's Ministers have resolved
to pr.lvebt Parliament from assembling for the despatch of busi-
ness at the time to which both !louses had adjourned. The
justice and viimloin of the Legislature would at that period, be-
yond all doom, have restored her to the full enjoyment of those
rights which the Constitution has vested in the Queen-Corson.
The Ministers plainly show that such is their belief, and they me
determined, for some purposes of their own, to delay the re-
dress to which she is entitled.

In a measure thus alike contemptuous towards Parliament and
the nation the Queen perceives a still deeper design. It is ins.
possible to doubt that the airhors of the late Bill have formed the
project of trying in sonic other shape their baffled scheme of
degrading her Majesty, and running the best interests of the
august Family to which she belongs. Dekated in their first
attempt--agmeed in the eyes of the people—consigned to the
contempt of all Europe—iLserttsl by the most rational and Ds.
spelled of their own adherents—they meditate a new attack on
toe honour of the Queen. Their speculations must be founded
oa :lie hope that the public sentiment, so loudly and universally
expressed, will at length be wearied and exhausted, and that the
Queen "herself will no longer have patience to resist such cruel
anti endless persecutions. lint her Majesty owes it to the Britt. 4
nation to iti:clare, that she has the firmest reliance upon their
support as long as she is the victim of oppression ; and to herself
she deems it due to add, that no harassing treatintnt on the part
of tile King's Ministers will ever shake the duty she owes to this
generous people. Site has also the strongest conviction that the
King's highest interests are at the present moment as much
betrayed as those of the State, by the evil counsellors who are now
once more plotting her destruction.
To the offer of money with which Lotd Liverpool has thought
proper to accompany his notice of the intended prorogation of
Parliament her .Majesty has no answer to give but a direct refusal.
Nearly ten months have elapsed since his late Majesty's death,
and no Parliamentary provision has been as yet proposed for her.
Ai long as the Bili was Fending the Queen saw the propriety of
accepting the advancris made for her accommodation ; bat she
will not accept as a favour from the Ministers what a due regard
fur the honour of the Crown would induce Purliaineat to hrer.t
as a right; and she is sttil more averse to impose upon the No-
pie the unnecessary burden of finding a palace for her, when the
national munificence has already provided royal residences for all
the Princesses who fill her exalted station.

The Queen expressly commands me to add, that her Majesty
as well as the King and the country, have reason deeply to regtet
that the persons who have involved ad those parties iu their
present unhappy iliffinilties should still have influence to prevent
that adjustment of differences which the Queen regards as C 3
stntial to the common interests. I-ler Majesty has never enter-
tained a doubt that the King, if left to the guidance of his own
sound judgment and honourable feelings, would at once listen
to the Queen's claims upon his justice, and to the united prayers
otitis loyal people.
have the honour to be, my Lord, your LoMship's obedient
and humble servant, H. KEPPEL CRAVEN.
