" The feelings, Sir, which are natural to my
unexampled situation, might justify ,Me in the:
gracious judgment d your Royal Highness, had
I no other motives for addressing you but such aS
relate to myself. Out I *ill not disguise from
yuct• Royal I-lighting what I cannot for a tnoment
conceal from myself, that the serious, and it soon
may be, the irreparable injury which my Daughter
sustains from the plan at present pursued, has
done more in 'overcoming my reluctance to in-
trude upon year Royal Highnes, than U,ny suffer-
ings of my own could accomplish ; stud if for, her
sake I presume to cull away yoUr Royal High-
ness's attention from the other cares 9f your ex:-•
:tate(' station, I feel .confident I am not claiming it
fora matter of inferior importance either to your-
self or your people.

" The powers with which the Constitution of
these realms vests your Royal Highness in thee,
regulation of the Rpyal Family, I know,, because
I am so advised, are ample. and unquestionable.
My appeal, Sir, is made to your excellent sense
and liberality of mind in the exercise of those,
powers ; and I willingly hope that your owo pa-
rental feelings' will lead you to excuse the anxiety,
of mire for impelling,une.to represent the unhap-,
py consequences which the present sys;ent must
entail upon our belovea child.
Is it possible, Sir, that any one can have at-

tempted to persuade your. Royal Highness, that
her charaCter will not be Injured by the pefpetual
violence offered to her strongest affections---the
studied care, taken to estrange her fon', my society,
and even to interrupt all communication between
as ? That' het love for Me, with whom, byVis
jesty:s wise and 'gracious arrangements, she pass,
ed the years of her infancy and Childhood, never
can be extinguished, I well know, andsthe know,.
ledge, of it forms the greatest blessing of my ex-
istence. • But lame implore your Royal nighness
to reflect how inevitably alt atteMpts to abate this
attachment, by forcibly separating us, if they su6
ceed, must injure my child's', principles—if they
fail, must destroy her happiness.

" The plan of exclUding my daughter frOm all

intercourse with the world, appears to my humble
judgment peculiarly unfortunate. She who is des-
tined to be the Sovereign of this- great country,
enjoys none of those advantages of society which
are deemed necessary for imparting a knOwledgy
of mahkincl to persons who have infinitely less oc
casion to learn that important lesson Y antn it may
so happen, by a chance which I trust is very re-
mote, that she should be called , upon ,to ex-
ercise the powers of the Crown, .with` an ex-
perience of the world more
,eanfined than that
of the most private individual. To the extra-
ordinary talents with which she is ,blosed, and

which accompany a disposition as singularly aini.
able, frank,. and decided, I willingly trust filuchl but
beyond a certain point the greatest natural endow.
meats cannot struggle ',against the disadvantagea

of circumstances anti situation. It is my earnest

prayer, for her own sake as well as her country's,
that your Royal Highness may be induced ,to

pause before this point be reached.
"'[hose. who have advised you, Sir, to delay so
long the period of my Daughter's commencing

her intercourse with the world, and for that pur-

pose to make Windsor her residence, appear not
to have regarded the interruptions tr lice education

which this arrangement oetasions, both by the
impossibility a obtaining the attendance of proper

teachers, and the time unavoidably consumed in

the frequent journies to town, which she must
make, unless she is to be sechided from all inter-
course, even with your Royal Highness and the
r lest of the Royal Family. To the same u ifortu-
,
nate Connsels I ascribe a circumstance in every
wayso distressing both to my parental and religii.ms
feelings, that my Daughter has never yet enjoyed
the benefit of Confirmation, although above a year
older than the. age- at which all the other branches
of the Royal Family have partaliert of that so..
lemnity. May I earnestly conjure you, Sir, 'to
hear my intreaties upon this serious matter, evert
if you should listen to other advisers on things
of less near concernment to the welfare of our
child ?
The pain with which I have at length form-
ed the resolution of addressing myself,to your
Royal Highness is such as I should in vain at-
tempt to t xpress, If I could adequately describe
it, you .might be enabled,, Sir, to estimate the
strength of the motives which have made me sub-
mit, to it. They are the most powerful feelings
of affection, and the deepest impressions of duty
towards your Royal Highness, mybeloved Child,
and the Country, whielt I devoutly hope she may
be preserved to govern, and to slew by a new ex-
ample tbe liberal affection of a free and generous
People to a virtuous and constitutional gonad).
" I am, Sir, with profound respect., and at-
tachment which nothing can alter,
our Royal Highness's
Mu ,t devoted and most affectionate
Consort, Cousin and' Subject'
