lege of legal redress ? The great palladium of English liberty
is our lialteas Corpus,—will you grant this to the meatie,t
and deny it to the highest ? ue English feeling, shudder at
the reply, and tevo!t at the. attempt. This would be, indeed,
breaking down the fences, and trampling upon the most sa-
cred rights of the Constitution ; and this, sir, you justly
conceive as the vital -issue of the proceedings In the case
of her Royal Ilighnes the Princess CuA ItIOTTE. This,
it.deed, is the vital question for all men to discuss; for, if
once violated in her person where it descend next ?
Wh,, can reckon upon his freedom, if such practices be tole-
rated in England ?

Yeti will inde:.d have seen, S:!-, that the slaves of a Junta
won'tl thrdw off the oet/8 they have incurred. Sir,
The Cow icr is only the organ,---the -principalactors arc be-
hind the scenes. Insinuation and mis-statement arc their
weipons of attack and defence : they never state a fact, how-.
ever well authenticated, without a commentary that perverts ,
it; and, like a cet tain anima!, sac! dice a certain part of their •
character, to be allowed to retain the privilege of in,,ulting
the public. It remains, Sir, with you to put an end to the
delusion, to strip-these demi-official monstets, and to sus-
t tin tht. noble disinteredness, the love of ft eedom, and the
undoulAed IH.alty that have always distinguished Bareisii
LE[.] SGS tied Biterisn 1.172 E RTY. This, S•a, is not the
language of disaffectioe or of invective: we abhor the one
and despise the other; but, since liberty of speech is truth,
aid truth the blessing of an upright mind and a free consti-
tution, it i 3 neither the pompous nothings of a Prime IMinis-
tA., nor the alit eted indignation of the Woolsat k, that will
deter the people from bestowing upon your labours tae re-
ward of their honest approbation and support.
sir, we owe to the House of Brunswick the security of our
Liberties, and the Ilouse of Brunswick owe their Successjon
to our gratttude and affection. England is a thinking na-
tion, not easi!y changed or seduced : but it is wrong to
tempt us to the blink ; there is no security fir rallmess ;
the power that sustains may destroy obedience, to sit easy,
should be voluntary ; and the fate of dcTotistn is too re-
cent to require either illustration or argument.
The nation, Sir, look tip to you with confidence, -and
ou have intitled youtself equally to the gratitude of your
Royal Brother and the Country. If, indceo, he has acted as
n-bly as &Set ibed, the Public will rejoice at the eulugium—
the People will be satisfied--our tire-works will emit more
splendor, and our estimate of the virtues will he ennobled by
a living example instead of allegorical representations that
fiance the pride and delude the understanding. L.

Lords. I rise tinder a eonsidciable degree of enniarrassment, and
certainly with a degree of anxiety which I am noi.. able to describe.
I shall not, thei clime, upon the present (4,...casion, do more than ex-,
press my hope, that the Noble Eli! oppo..ite (Liverpool), will let I
'ourself called upon by. his duty to answer some question, which
I let I it my duty to put to him. lie will, r;tailitltss, conceive, that

ask, upon this occa.ion, sic unauthorised by the sanction et' any
individual.. I ',suggest them to the :I's:oh'(' Loid, mule.). a strong
sense of duty telrlngina to my situation. 'lie -relate to event'
which have ree,ciitly occurred, which arc well known to the Public.
and with which the persons consulted on that delicate occasion
must likewise be well acquainted : of Co* ..ondlut t of other pei sons
I must speak with that diniful respect which I can most conscien-
tiously pay. With this preface, I shall proceed to prit ney questid
to the Noble Ea:l ; and, if any ',Noble Lords have dillicultits, re•
garding the rpicstion, I will repeat tin in. I shall now proceed' to
put therm in the Order which appears to We most
first question I would a:k,
Whether, since the tor.oval of her Royal Highness the Princess
Chailotte of Wales to Carlton House, he-r Royal Highthssl has been
allowcti that communication and inteleourse wit!' her friends ::;,d
co:ineetions winch bile enjoyed previously, white, she resided in
, Warwick House ? _

I am anxious to receive an answer to that question-- [The Dukc
of SussEN here pawed, waiting a Et -ply : hi; Royal ilighor.ss pro.
seeded]—lf the Noble Lord thinks flt to decline giving any rt-ply
to that que.,tion, I will go or to the next r,ome Nobic Lord sigi.;-
fled a w igh the qiiestiou shotthl he repcatetii —the Duke of Sessrx
romplied, and put it again to the Earl to Liv Lit root,. who 1:)t
ising to reply, his Royal Highness continued—the Nulde rail may
perhaps wish to athwer my questions together. I ask him, st cond;y,
Whether her Royal Highness the Plincess Charlotte of Watts,
since her removal to Carlton Howe, has been allowed the libel ty
of Communicating iu writing, with her friends, and of receiving It. ticrx
Iron, tin ;a, or has been peimittcd to have the use of pen, ink aril
