On the motion of Mr. D. GIDDY, the Com-

The House Went into Committee on Blexham's
Divorce Bill, when Mr. Holt was heard 'for the
The-report was received, and the Bill
read a third time.

On the motion of Mr. MooRE, the Petition of
Mr. Bell's heirs was-ordered-to be referred to the
*Committee appointed.to inquire into; the merits of
Captain Manby's inve►►tion.
The Scotch Creditors Bill was read a third time
and passed.
Lord A. HANtm•roN stated, that when the re:-.
port on the Cora Importation Bill should he
brought up, it was his intention to take the send
of the House on the'subject. He alSo expressed
a wish to know when a Right Hon. Gentleman
opposite intended to submit the proposition of
which he had given notice.to' the House.
Mr.-FosTza signified his intention of bringing
forward his proposition on Monday.
Mr. CROKER presented a, Petition from Bide,
ford against the proposed alteration in the Corn
Laws.

Mr. WHITBREAD stated, that he 'held
.in his
hand a petition, signed, in the course of two dayS,
by 4GOO persons, against any niterition in the
Corn Laws during the present Session. • (The
name of the place was not , mentioned, bet We
presume it was Bedford).. Having never before
declared his sentiments on this subject, be should
now ohsersve,that whatever. might be the merits
of the measure in itself (and he was rather in-•
dined‘to think favohrably of it)-, in the present in-
flamed state of the public nn;id, in consequence.
of the, misapprehensions that had so :generally
gone 'Abroad, he thought the House ought to
pause before they passed any legislative enactnienr.
He was convinced that all who had taken a share
in the discussions on the subject had been activated
by the same motives—a regard' for the public
good. The treatment, however, of the friends
and of the enemies of the measure had been some-
what singular. One Honourable Gentleman had
complained in that House, that lie had been
accused of dealing in faction, which he had refer-
red to the tenour of his life to disprove; while
on the walls of the metropolis was to be seen writ-
ten, " Rose for ever." An Hon. Friend of his (Mr.'
•COke),' who, tturing the whole of his life, had been
regardeilas the firm friend of the lower orders of the
community, had been assailed, in anonym-ons let-
ters, with every epithet of reproach ; and he him-
self -had been informed, by a similar mode. of com-
munication, that he -deserved to• be hanged for
holding his tongue. The interest of the grower
and the consumer was the same—(Hear !)'—and
in. Oath capacities he was friendly to the measnre,
though the continuance of fair weather \voulA. do
more than 'any act of that House. He Was of
that the House should postpone any .inea-
sure on the subject till anotlier year. Should the
next harvest turn out unfavourable'f •the• cotise,
quent scarcity would be ascribed to the 13111 that
had passed the House'; and; on theother' hand,
should the next crop be as abundartt as the pre.-
sent; the time would be more favourable for any,
legislative -measure. • -

Mr. STEPHEN said, that tho Ugh his opinioii of
the.ll did net coincide with that of the 1-I,m.
Gentleman, lie.was-equally an advocate for delay.
Ile had. never attached much inipoytatic'e't?_ pa
pular opinion, and least'a,all in the muse'of the
Hon. Gentleman. . was 'much surprised to
hear that he had been thought 'to ttesevre Ivan -
ing, far any tl►ing, and, above all, for holding leis
t ougne—(A-laugh).

Mr. PogsoNßY rose to correct a mis-statement

that had appeared in some of the public prints, of

Mr. WHETBREAD expressed his surprise that an
answer should only have been given on the 3d of
June to an Address voted on the 3d of May ; and.
that though the Treaty: had arrived and had been.
signed on the 24th of May, the House had been
informed that the Prince Regent would use his in-,

the House of Commons, that his Royal Flightiest. the prince
Regent has been advised to take•socloteps as have prevented
her from appearing at Court; and to declare his Royal ni,107
ness's used and unalterable determination never to meet. the :-
Princess of Wales upon any occasion, either in public
private. • •

The proceedings of 1806 and 1607, awl last year, are in.
the recollection of the 110035, as well as the ample and
qualified vindication of the Princesesconduct, to which those
proceedings led. - •

It is impossible for the Princess of Wales to conceal from
-herself-the intention of the advice which has now been given
to the Prince Regent, and the probability that there are ul-
timate .objects iu view pregnant with danger to the security
-of the succession, and the domestic peace of the realm.
" Under these circumstances, even if the Princess's duty
towards herself could suffer her to remain silent, her sense of
what is due to her Daughter, and,tothC highest interests of
the Country, compels her to make this communication to the
House of Commons.

" The Princess of Wales encfoses Copies of the Correspon-
dence, which has PaSsedi:nid:whiCh she iegitests Speaker

,Mr..-NlETutiEta.•=lilse hi con.syquence of a no-.

of the House to the letters' we have just heard
from the Chair—a subject, :the importance of,
which: must be generally acknowledged, however
liable 1 may be to. the inifintation of presumption
in britrging it ferwartl, nnequal as I feel myself to
so delicate and arduous tut-detain-
ing the House by any unnecessary preamble,
trusting to the case itself to snake amends for the
want Of abilities, under which I tim conscious of

testntions' of toy mativies, credit tnly be given me
for the purity oftlient, tiesitous and endeavouring
not to say luny thing offensive to any one person

...my subject, L,.shall Proceed to read, in the first
place, such parts of her Royal Highness's letter
as are most important ; and, in the second, to
make my own comments upon them.- [Acre
.the
letter was read, and next an extract from the
Minutes of Council.] Upon this; Sir, the King
declared his Conviction' of her Royal Highness's
innocence, and to this point in particular I wish
to call the attention of. the House; for after such
an opinion given from such a quarter, out of coot-
she had a right to
trionTespecefor his Majesty;
expect-a very diffeeeet Itreatnient, and indeed a
reception at. Cetirt: Tier Royal Father,
the Duke of Brunswick, falling,. es -it ruust be
-remembered, and lamented that he-did full, at the
battle of Jena, a short time before his death of
glory, Wrote a letter to his Diughter, assuring
her of his thorough conviction ef her innocence,
and another to
.his Majesty, receinniendiug her
to his protection, and beggiug lihn Co be the de-
fender of her injured Mimeo.. And, Sir, if this
illustrious herohas still in death 'the -power to
know the destinies ofa child-he-So dearly loved in
life, must his indignant spirit witness her the vic-
tim of sorrow, degraded, insulted, neglected, and
deserted, wichont the splendour, without the re-
spect, without even the degree of, attention due
eo her rank and situation ; without one tenderso-
-I;ice of demestic
,happiness, as a wife or as a
mother, to cheer the dull gloom of her retirement ;
without the possibility of vindicating her cha-
racter, which bus been so wantonly and myste-
riously attacked ? WhateSir, shall the boasted
liberty of this country be henceforth considered
• but as an empty name ? Shall that soil, which
has been hitherto said to confer,' instantaneously,
freedom on tbe.m.ost abject slave who had the
good' fortune to tread it-,--Inust this sacred soil
lose its long-acknowledged charm, end sink to
:the lowest
,level in: the scale of nations ? Shall
this House, distinguished et e it has been in the
cause of humanity—hi the, cause of the poor
African, deny the smallest pOrtion of the same
Christian-like balm, • to heal the wounds of a
Princess ?. Or is it for the slave -alone that the
mealy heart can, feel, or the . clot:went _tongue
should like to -ask the House, if the very
circumstance of The Princess Charlotte being. at
, ell.
,permitted to see her 2dother is riot a strong
itroofof her innocence,, as her-visits ought to
'altogether prohibited, if her Mother. were at: unfit
epersonforber society? shoUld be glad to know if,
ethe.Bet;edieary Prince of Orange does 'hot consider
ter as innoceet,evben he writes to her,'as a proper ~
scomplithent to- his future Mother-in-law, to in-
-Joint. her-of 'his approaching'- nuptials with her
penghtinee She 'has received also letters of
con-
gratulation from the Prince veil Princess Dow-
'ie'er of Orange. I should not be at all astonished
-tobeer'the publication of these letters objected to.
But, Sire I cannot see any tither course she had
left to take. She had already written to yon,. Sir,
who so ably and so honourably fill that Chair
which I atui now addressing. She next wrote ,to
the Chencetlor, and kifi'm•wards cite . Regent
hiniself. 1. need not
.hiform the House with
what effect. She lied, therefore, • no resource
but au, appeal to the hearts. and understand-
ings of her future subjects. . But, Sir, if a pre-
cedent were wanting to vindicate her
..conduct on
this occasion, it would he ,easy to find one, and
that of the highest authority. It must be fresh
in theenemory of the House, .in the year 1804 his
Royal. Highness the Prince of Wales, eith a spirit
ivell worthy the Heir-Apparent of the British
Throne, desirous of being foremost in command
in case of invasion (then threatened by that rest-
less and merciless scourge of mankind, whose
-.sun of glory-is now set, and whose dreams of mail
ambition are now happily at an end) applied to
his Majesty for a minuend.. His Majesty refused
tlie request ; the Prince felt his charecter con-
icerned, and' Appealed tie 'the -tribunal of the Pub-
elie, publishing his Letters to his Majesty and the
Duke of York.: The- Auntie'. Register' of that
year will assist any Gentleman's memory which
may be defective on this. subject. Aiiioitg many
strange and undefined charges', for want Of prov-
ing criminality, I have. heard the charge of bad
taste most contmonly,ttrged against her.- But, Sir,
thoughl consider bad taste by no: means a desi-
• rable ingredient in the composition ofa Princess ;
yet, when. we reflect -upon the various perils with
which her paths through life have been: beset ;
When ive reflect upon her education abroad, and
.tier situation at home, ought no allowances to be
made. fur a Princess who has not had the hapei-
nessur have tire; taste, or at once understand the
fefilinge or manners of, this country Bet, Sir, I
agree with her .11..c.iyal Highness, that the time

feel the full,furceof that part of her letter which
applies to the approach of her Daughter's nuptials,

should like to,ask the ,Right, Hon, Qenticinan, if
sine is to be excluded from either of these cere-
monies ? I hope, whet the necessary sepplies for
the marriage are granted by PerliaMent, they will
be granted conditionally, that the marriage. shall
be a,phblie one,. and that the Princess of Wales

Mr. MARTIN seconded the Motion.

Mr;A3.l-ritußsT gave the Honourable Gentle-
man full credit for the purity of his motives, but
denied that it was within the province..of the
House of Commons to interfere in this case. He
rcist..rved, that the Hon. Gentleman 'had tninci-;
Filly COMmented on the letter of her Royal-High-
ness the Princess of Wales, for %%166 his Majes-
ty's •Ministers were certainly not responsible.
'!'he • notice, however, ‘‘,hich he had originally
given, was, that he would move an'Address " to
wino had given the advice by which. her
Royal Highness had been excluded from the
Queen's Drawing-room." The Honourable Gen-
tleman bad, however, now moved for.-an. Ad-
drerss of a -very different nature, and wanted.
to be infoTmed "..by. whose advice his Royal
HiginieSs had been induced to form the unalter-
able determination of never meeting Prin..

cess of Wales, either in 1n or private-."- • This
was, indeed, a question of a very different nature,
and a proposition which be thought it was, ctn..;
possible far the House. to; entertain. Jte 'must,
observe, that there was no prohibition -against
the Princess of Wales's attending her:Majesty's
Drawing-room. The Prinee had only signified
his determination of not meeting her there ; and
if she had persisted In. what, she Was pleased to
term her right of attending, it would have then
been -a-serious consideration for the Prince Re-
gent, whether he would go himself or•not. Any
discussion. on this subject would come with store
propriety when the future establishment of the
Princess Charlotte-should be moved for, • in case -
of her marriage, anti that her Mother was not, pre-
sent at that ceremony. Another Hon. Member
had•intimated his intention (if disetissing• the sub-
ject,' should that occasion take place. It was not
. an,untigual-thing-for Members of the Royal Fa-
mily to he eXclikfled from the. Court of the Sove-
reign. It was 'a
thin g which had frequently hip-
; pencd, without-- any imputation against the cha- •
racter of those branches of-the Royal. Flniily who
were so exclude-4,, or without any inquiry as to
the cauies- of the exclusion. This had -hapiiened
14t different times during the reigns of 'George the
First. and George the Second, when dissensions
between the reiguigig Monarch- and the Prince of
Wales had been carried to a greater height than any
dissensions which bad since occurred-among the
- Members of the Royal Family. The object of the.
-lion. Gent. appeared to be to restore the Princess of
Wales to the Queen's Drawing-rooms; but Could-
. the [louse call upon his Royal Highness the Prince
. llegent to change that sentiment which-bad oh
tained such full possession of his mind, as to lead
;taint to.: wish for her exclusion ? With regard to

. ,
• .1-nture considerations,. which had been alluded to,
they were not now before the House. .The-`only.
thing which they had under their consideration
the restriction of tile Princess from attending
the Queen's Drawing-rooms during the present
• month. • Ile did not conceive that this restriction
• Necessarily imputed any animosity to her Royal
: Highness. Those unhappy, disagreettlen•ts
lie-
tween the Prince Regent and .the. Princess of
• Wales might have originated in differcnee of taste,
and in many causes wholly unconnected with. guilt
or innocence. 1--1 e had omitted to state, that two
Royal Duchesses (the Duchesses -of Cumber-
land- and Gloucester) had, been eXcliideer from'
the thawing-rooms of the Queen, because their
. marriages were disapproved of ; and yet Parlia-•
ment had never thought it proper to interfere 0.11
the occasion. With regard to the Minute of
Council, on which so much stress had been laid,
it must he recollected, that lt Junk a distinction
• between criminality. and
.other..minor charges.—
The acquittahvas, therefore, not altogether- as
complete!as tlic Hon. Gentleman had -maintained.
• He could not avoid expressing his opinion,. that

and
the more appeals were made to the Public;,
the more this unhappy subject should be'agitated,
the more irritation would be produced by it; and
.the more injury would be- doue to the peace of
the Royal .Family. The louse were now called
upon to. interfere merely about the elitplette a
Drawing room. This was what lie. thought they

out not to:he called upon to do ;and therefore
he should give his. negative to the AddreSs'pru-

, .
posed.
Mr. WurrantAn.---The speech of the Right HO-
nourahle Gentleman in defence of -the advice•he
has given, has been like the. advice itself---special
.minute ‘vavering--assuming a right*—a right to

in their advice- to conciliate and to ealne-eto proe
claim the innocence they had so often declared ;
but the reverse 'is_ the case. The Right Hon

situation, as if, in the assertion neede of the come
plete approbation, the affectiouete attachment of
the King was not well gionneed. The King
► cannot speak—and he'tprotes the King, to wound
through his side the Princess of -Wales. Thiseis
of a piece with the whale of their proceedings.
I will not retreat what a Nehle turd who, be it
remembered, is not a party to this advice; said on
a former debic,e on. this snbject—nor the testi-
'mbny given by all, of the Princess's entire inno-
cence. I maintain the King thought her so, and.

tions :the right; of the Princess of Woks to ap-
pear where the King placed. her, it is to be-hoped
that she still, notwithstanding the moderation-
she has evinced, accept the advice to appear at
Court, and then let us see who will advise that-
adinittance be refused to her. As to stirring the

he has talked of Queen Anne haring been for-

'so': 'King-William, nettled at some step taken
about--the settlement of her revenue, forbade the.
Countess of Marlborough (who was supposed to

here no' imputation on character—no cheege of :.
crime—no insinuation of thrice-refuted guilt : but
the Princess Anne, • resenting her favourite

undefined, and of which the:Regent alone con-

oppressed, it is to be hq.ped•she will be advised to
assert her right, arid, however reluctantly, to dare
the advisers of the ,Regent directly to execute
their intentions.

Mr. STUART WORTLEY said, that on the ground
that the lion. Gentleman who moved for this. ad-
dress had not proved any prohibition to the right,
claimed by the Princess of Wales to attend the.
Queen's thaWitig Room, he should vote against
it ; but at the same time he should extremely re-
gret if, in so doing, he was thought to approve,
that.advice, which he could not but consider as
highly improper-and injudicious.
Mr. PONSOZ4BY had listened to the lion. Gen-
tleman's.' resolution or address with touch atten-
tion, but could not vote ill its favour, because he
bad ever found in the history of the Councils of
Pl inces, that resolutions .such: as that of the
Prince Regent. were liab!e.to change, and no overt.
act had-been stated which, in his opinion, called
for the interference of the House. lie, however,.
deeply-lainented the letter sent to the Princess of
IVales by the Queen, and had hoped that :what.
passed in this House last year would have put an
end for ever to. this disgraceful and injurious:sub-
ject. It was natural in the Princess of \Vales to
publish the Correspondence to %indicate herself in.
the eyes of the public, when this new indignity
was east upon her. . Although
,be objected to the
present , motion as unparliamentary, ~there were
constitutional modes Of proceeding-, which, if re-
sorted (6 with a view of putting an end to those.
dissensions, should have hi.; best support.
Mr. ELLIOTT must feel himself compelled to
vote,:lp,-ahlt. the question, for the reasons assign-
ed by, the last Speoher, and with the same reser-
vation anti` the same sentiments as tQtlie injustice
done to the Princess Of Wales.

Mr. WvNse perfectly concurred with the two
last Speakers : he trusted that the resolution of
the Princeßegent would not
,prove nnalteyable ;
but heknew nothing so likely Co render it. SQ:as
the present discussions. • •
M Peru t!tfri then,pipposed, that if the Right
Gentleman (Mr. Ponsouby) would give him
the. benefit, of his Parliamentary expeeience, he
Would readily witlid.:aw his present noltion.
11-Ir. TIE RNEY observed, that
.the Hon. Member
must feel that his Right Hon. Friend] vas not
~prepared to propose any specific measure at the
present moment:, He tosted,..liowever, that the
Right' Hon. Gentleman opposite (I.lr. Bathurst)-
' would see the temper of the House of Commons
,from the present
.disCussion ; .and- that before the
next DraivingLrootn, such adVice would be given
to:the ,Prinec Regent as -would induce, him to
change his conduct. If uot, ife;trustekt.that Par-
liament would. not. separate .without giving the
Princess the benefit of their protection. The.
right to exclude train a prawing-room Jpight
exist ; but the right., became a wrong when made
the vehicle of wounding the personal feelings.-of
an individual.-, Some of the. present Ministers
stOod in no ordinary _ situation towards the
Princess of Wales : one of them was in particular
bound, as a Gentleman, and a man of honour,. to
giVe her his especial .support 5 he owed it to his,
Royal Master, and he owed it, to himself;
can:l he'
much doubted, if he had been. consulted, whether
such a proceeding' as that now complained oceanic/
havt taken place: Unless.sorne; measra es -were

be adopted.
