COPY OF A LETTEB. ADDRE.ShitED BY THE PRINCESS OF
WALES TO THE EARL CF HARROWBY.
" Feb. 27, ISIS.
6' The Princess -of Wales has received reports .troin various
quarters of certain proceedings lately held by his Majesty's Privy
Council respecting her Royal Highness • and the Princess has felt
persuaded that these report, must be unfounded, because she could
not believe it possible that any Resolution should be taken by that
most Honourable Body in any respect affecting her Reyal Highness,
uppn stairrneins, which she has no opportunity of answering, ex-
plaining, or even seeing.
" The Princess still trusts that there is no truth in these rumours;
bnt she feels it due to herself to lose no time in protesting against any
Resolution affecting her Rcyal Hgliness, which may be so adopted.
" The Ni-,ble and Right Honourable persons who are said to have
been selected from pr ceedings, arc too just to decide. any thing
touching her Royal Highness, without affording her an opportunity
of laying her case before them. The Princess has; not had any power
to choose Judges before whom any inquiry may be carried on ; but
elle is perfectly willing to have her whole conduct inquired into by
any persons who may be selected by her accusers. -The Princess only
demands that she may be heard in defence or io explanation of her con-
duct, if it is attkcked ;
.and that she should either be treated as intro- •
cent, or proved to be guilty."
Lord Harrowby replied to the effect, that a copy of the Ministers'
Report, laid before the Prince Regent, had been transmitted that same
evening to the Princess of Wales by Viscount 3idmouth.
The Public are aiready in possession of the subsequent results.

;suing her tide, to be in high spirits, and appatently highly
gratticd at the opportunity she had enjoyed at the affec.

ARMY ESTIMATES.

Lord PALMILRSTONS rose, for the purpose of submitting to the
House the Army Estimates. He said that it would be. unnecessary to
detain the House at length, since the vari4tion between the estimates
of the present, and of the last year, arose only from a slight ati men.
cation of eff-ctive numhers, and not from any change of the military
system of the country. The total increase of effectors numbers was
12.00) man, and the increase of charge was 390,0001. As upon tormer
occasions, he went over the various heads under which the eAnnates
were arranged, and noted the increase or diminution in money oe men
in each of them. He conciteed with moving, that a stun not exceed-
ing three millions be granted for the service of the land forces fur the
.
current year.
Captain Bennet, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. H. Addington, and Mr.
Frcemantle discussed various parts of the estimates at some length.
Mr CA sty sIC had some objection to make respecting the Paymas.
tens' Departinent. He wislivd to abolish one, of the Pay masterships ;
in other words, to fling one Paymaster and his Deputy overboard. He
then alluded to certain Resolutions passed by the House its iflo9, re•
lative to sinecure places, and referred to a Commit'ee. Mr. Long. in
his examination before that Committee, said, cr allowed, that one
Paymaster would be sufficiept. The two Deputies of the Paymasteri
had each 5001 a year • and one of them was allowed to be sufficient for
the duties. When Lord Charles Somerset was called before the Com-.
mittee, he approved of the depositions of Mr. Long, when he heard
them read. He concluded by saying. when the Seventh Resolution
tame before the House, that he would move to have the 25001. left
out, which were now paid to the Noble Lord and his noble ueputy.
Cord CuisaL7:3 SoyitasET said that such a step would be unneces-
sary, as there was a Bill now in progress through the House, which
would embrace the object of the Hun. Gentleman's Motion. There
were two Paymasters in leo6. when the Hon. Gentleman's. wn friends
were in power; and if he was of his opinion, 0144 at present oil
was quite sufficient, it was saying, that one of the present Ministry
was equal to two in that of their predecessors—(A Laugh, and hears
