was separated from. her husband, though igrthrimt
Of the cause of that separation. A vindication of
the Princess could not be' other than grateful to
them, and this ought, not be withheld "after the
Memorable record of the 2lst of April 1807, when
Lord Castlereagh, the Lord Chancellor, and the
other Ministers of the Crown, declared it appear-'
ed. to them, that the charges preferred against her
Royal Highness were conipli:tely disproved,, and
advised his Majesty to admit her, without delay,
to his royal preience, and to receive her in a man-
ner suitable to her rank as Princess of Wales.
Ilir. GRIFFITH read the Address which had been
presented to her Royal Highness on her arrival
in England, and said he had bad it in contempla-
tion to propose, that out of respect to her .Royal
Hesband, they should wait on Min with an Ad-.
dress on the present happy occasion, as had
similar charges been been preferred against his
Wife,, he was sure he should have felt rattier
awkward of she, and not himself, had been aimd
upon with addresses of congratulation, on their
being disproved. (2/ laugh.) He noticed the hard-
ships -to which the Princess bad been exposed.
She had' had spies put about her, who had at-
tempted to disgrace her, but who had disgraced
themselves. He thought it was the duty of the
Coart to express their conviction of her inno-
cence. He knew no: what to say of her husband.
Mr. Jseks' observed, that meddling between
man and wife seldom did any good, but fi•equently
much mischief. He, however, did not rise to op-
pose what he trusted would be the imaninious
vote of the Court. The strong feeling of the
people in its favour was sufficient to incline him
to think well of it, but while they did justice to
the Princess of Wales, he hoped they would not
do injustice to. the, Prince. Some expressiOns
which bad fallen from the last .Speaker, as well
as sonic which had • been used at the Cmos
men Hall, did not appear to him to .be
respectful ~.to the Chief Magistrate of the
country. 'There was no reason to think he bad

therefore, propose a,small amendment to the mo-
tion. He then moved an amendment, which, had
the effect of making the Resolutions congratulate
her Royal Highness•on her triumph .over,iocen-
spiracy entered, into by persons admitted into her
presence, who had availed themselves of such in-
didgence, to make an attack on her honour and
her life. This proposition, he hoped, would se-
cure unanimity. .

it was to his feelings to see the tesample set by the

to conic to a strong resolution upon thesub-
ject,.. • The appeal 'of . the Princess to the
House of Lords could, be justified- by her own
feeling ; but.it,wes not in the power of that House
to interfere, except in such a way'as weeld`super-
sede the right the-Prince had as a husband over leis
wife. She, after the persecution she had suffered,
could .not have recourse to the ,sane remedy as
other subjects. Isler only resource then was in
the-manifestation of public opinion. Tlse condnet
of the Commission'appointed to examine into her
conduct in 180 G was somewhat eXtraordinary. The
result of theirinquiry was anacquittal in the cleArest
and most emphutical terms. Theliestion,however,
,after such a declaration of innocence; continued
undecided. Such conduct was not proper On the
part- of the commissioners, and to them • must
be attributed 'whatever injury had been uustaincl

Princess of -Wales 'was the only female whir could
