myself at the Drawing roams of the next month.
"It would be presumptuous in me to attempt to inquire
of your Majesty the reasons of his Royal Highness the Prince
Regent for this harsh preceeding, of which his Royal High-
ness can alone be the judge. lam unconscious of otrence ;
and in that reflection, I must endeavour to find consolation
for all the mortifications I experience; even fur this, the last,
the most unexpected, and the most severe ; the prohibi ion
given to me alone, to appear before your Majesty, to oiler
illy congratulations upon the happy termination of those ca-
lamities with which Europe has been so long afflicted, in the
presence of the illosti ious.pe:sonages who will in all pioba-
bilitv be assembled at your Majesty's Court, with whom I
am so closely connected by birth and marriage.
" I bese,ch your Majesty to do me an act of justice, to
which, in the present circumstances, your Majesty is the dilly
person competent, ly acquainting those Illustrious Strangers
with the motives of personal consideration towards your Ma-
jesty which alone induce me to abst-in front the exercise of
my right to appear before your Majesty : and that I do now,
as I have done at all times, defy the malice of my enemies to
fix upon me the shadow of any one imputation which could
render me unworthy of their society or rega d.
" Your Majesty will, I am su: e, not be displeased that I
should relieve ntse f from a suspicion of disiespect towards
your Majesty, by making public the cause of Inv :thsence front
Court, at a time when the duties of my station would other-
wise peculiarly demand my attendance.

" The Queen has received, this afternoon, the Plincess
of Wales's letter of yestelday in reply to the commnoication
which she was desired by the Prince Re.,2nt t:' make to her;
and she is sensible of the disposition expressed by her hova!
Highness nut to discuss with her, topics IA hick must be pain,
ful to both.

" The Queen considers it incumbent upon her to send a
copy of the Princess of Wales's letter to the Pi ince Ite44nt ;
and her Majesty could have felt no hesitation in communi.

"The Princess of Wales has the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of a note from the Queen, dated yesterday; and begs
