PRINCESS OF WALES.

Mr. METHUEN said, 'sorry as he WAS to be un-'
der the necessity of 'once more calling the atten-
tion of the House to that most painful and dis-
tressing subject, on which he had formerly ad-
dresseti them, be felt it to be his duty to persevere.
He, however, intended, in deference to them, not
to retrace his former steps ; but, on the present
occasion, tO confine himself to the subject•of her.
Royal Highness's income ; and, with this object
in view, he should call'upon them to take the late
Correspondence into their consideration, as fur-
nishing: the only documents that could bring be-
fore them the separation which had taken place be-
t Ween the Prince Regent.and his Illustrious CoO-
sert. In the same spirit of deference to the
wishes of that House, which he hoped he should
never havethe folly or the presuinption to disre—
gard, he now, having never witnessed a stronger.
feeling than that on a former night manifested iu
favour of some melioration of the condition of the
Princess of Wales,-could not but express regret and
surprise that nothing had yet been clone in conse- •
'quence of that memorable debate. He much.lament-
,ed that tto steps had been taken by Ministers to com-,
-ply with the wish, then so generally expressed, for.•
he had much rather see them extend their hand'
with a good grace to afford tke relief called for,
than witness a common actofyistice- wrung from
them by force. Sinee nothing had been done, if
the agitations of this question was unpleasant to
the feelings of persons within or tvithont those
doors, on Whoth ought the blame to fall, if not
on those who had the means of putting an end'
to these unpleasant discussions; by giving the
• Prince temperate and constitutional advice, and'
by telling him what were the feelings avowed by
•the-Parliament mid the country. No man could',
deprecate such disenssionsinorethan he did—at
least the necessity for theM, though, when ne--
eessary, he knew not how to avoid them. No•
man was more sorry than he was to fli;•ow a cloud
over the general joy which prevailed through-
out the ,land ; • but* was it when others tasted •
most of felicity, that her Royal Highness the
Princess of Wales ought to be. made more than .
ever unhappy ;—or was the hour of triumph
that in which . she ought to be doomed to see
her degradation made complete ? Were the
Royal. Visitors now' in this country to return
front scenes where all that 'magnificence and
taste could . afford had been profusely lavished
on -them, to :report that the Princess of •\Vales
was in such a situation that it had not been in her'
.Potfer to receive theta, or even to appear in their
presence ? There 'was a something in this which
was in no common degree galling to the spirit of •
a. high-minded country like this, whose attach4e
ment and libens,,"ty to royalty .had been fumed
throughout Europe. Before he stated what were
the means of his Royal Highness; he could not
refrain front declaring, that which lie was ashamed
of stating, but which he ht!ievell to be trne,• that
the Princess Of Wales was denied not only what
was necessary to support the dignity., but even
what was requisite to supply the common corn- •
forts of a person in her eleuitted situation—(Hear,
_bear !).—He desired that it might be constantly:
borne in mind, hat it was-the cause•of*a Primeesa
which he was pleading, yet he wished those who
heard) him to divest themselves of all prejudice,
and to consider what their feelings-would be if a
wife or child cif theirs were placed in a situation
like that of her Royal Highness.—He should
now prOceed to state the amount. of the- sums
received by the Princess. On her marriage an,
income of 17,0001. per -annum. was settled on
.her,, in additionJo'sooo/. of her own. In 1808
she was informed by a communication., that in-
stead of 17,000/. from the situation of ' his affairs
he could only give her annually 12,0001. This
recruktion %Vas. carried into effecL A deduction
Of 5000/..was made from her. income till the
year 1809, when the Prince took upon himself to
pay her debts, which amounted to- 49,0001. and.
made her income again what it was in 1800.—
Prom this -statement it would be seen, that for•
nine years she had been living separate from Ate:
Prince on 50001. per annum less than she bad had_
while residing in Carlton House, and \while all
bee bills were paid by the Prince. Constrained
by the narrowness of her ineotne, her Royal
Highness, in order taavoid contracting new debts,:
had in last July reduced her establishrnent,- and'
'almost entirely given up seeing' company; She..
had reduced her domestics to seven, but even then
her Royal Highness found her income insuflicieni.„
till Mr. St. Leger had, very much to I,)is credit,
declined receiving any reward whatever for his
services, and Lady Kinnaird and Lady Glenbervie
-had-done the same. By this generous sacrifice
on the part of -the parsons he had Domed, her.
Royal Highness had been enabled tO avoid coil-.
tracting new debts, and at the present moment
she did not owe -a:shilling. But he would put it
to the House, was that a situation. in which the.
Princess of Wales ought to be seen ? Ought she
to be reduced to depend •upon others for the sup-
port of her household ? Assuredly not. The
Prince had declared that he would never again
meet her Royal Highness-either in public or
vate 2ad this assertion. made on his part, he
;

count see•no impropriety is their mftltiug a sepa-
rate proeision for the Princess: For this there
'was a Precedent in the separate maintenance
lowed the Princess Ann iet 1690, not in coat-,
pliance with, •but in opposition to an Address
of that House. He could see- no ' reasonable
objectioo to making a sufficient allowance for
enabling her Royal Highness to live separate
• front the Prince in a manner suitable to her
rank. Arpresent" she had but -five thousand polinds
per animas i,n4ept ittletit of the Prince Regent.e
and her whole income was tar from being-adequate
to her wants in her present "situation. Feeling,
as he did, on this suiheet, it .was his anxious hope-
that the objecehe had itfriew would he obtained,.
that the result of,the *seat Debate would. be

thus urged, -heitfoott an attempt being' made to
tring any foreign matter into the di,;.eossiou. Be
the restilt what it .otight, he had endeavoured most
conscientiously to discharge his duty,. After bring-
ing the correspondence before the 'loose, he had
mulea pattse, and Lad not called their. attention
to it a seeood time, tilf from the period that had,
elapsed without. any thiug., being cone. by Mini-
sters, it was ploin he had no alternative'but to per-

the Hon. Lord ,( Lord Castlereagh). that he, was
much mortified at finding himself obliged to bring
this subject forward so immediately after his re-
turn, and atter the applause he hat! received, and
deservedly received, for his exertions to .procure
for the conotry the blessings of peace. He hoped
he would be content to agree with the motion, or
give a satisfactory reason for resisting it. He con-
cluded by moving---" that the House should on
Tuesday take into its consideration the correspon-
dence c<hunntnicated to it on the. 3d of June by
het-Royal Highness the Princess-of Wales."..
• . Lord C:XSTLF.ItEAG4I expressed his acknowledg-
ments fOr the Widnes& with which the Hon.Gen-
thonan had been pleased to speak of him. Since
the subject had been submitted to the considera-
tion of Parliam, eot, he was happy that it bad been
brought forward with as much delicacy as circutns
. stances would permit ; and he was glad -that he
had potthe question on.thae footing which it now
bad. The Hem. Gentleman, however, would al-
low hitte to say, that the course he had taken this
night was not quite consistent with that which le
hail' formerly taken, and was very different front
time line of Conduct which he had expected him to
pursue .this day. If the Hon. Member who had
e.arly, brought on debates in that, House on the
subject, had taken the same course which the
Hun. Gentleman now took; it was probable
many of the discussions which had taken place ,
Might have been avoided. He approved of the
coaduct of the Hon. Gentleman ; but he wished
it to he remembered, this was the firs't time it
had been anttounced to the 'House, that -an exe
'tended provision for the Princess of Wales was
the object ,her friends had io view, was that
which might properly set rest for ever that.
question, . which had been fur the honour and •
happiness of this cottotry most unfortunately agi-
tated. Wishing to confine himself to. the topic
of discussion introduced by the Hon;Gentleman,
be sitoulel only depart from. the dry details of it,
tit sephrate from it that which had been Most
injudiciously brought forward, on former occa-
sions,
:and which he would, deliberately declare, •
could never be brought forward with effectual
service to the party concerned in that House.
(Hear.!)--So couvinced was he yf this, that he
bad etimoSt resolved not to suffer himself, in any
case, to be provoked to become a party in a de-
!Ate on the affairs of the Royal' Family, while he •
Vas satisfied that Par;iament could not remedy
those divisions which every, man must see and
• lament. Feeling this, :he sincerely deplored the
situation in which Parliament was placed, to
be obliged to listen • to questiOus as to teethe
affairs of the Royal Family, which it , would
be thought a breach of decorum and a gross
impropriety to ask respecting the meanest family
its the kingdom.—(llear, "hear !)—lf any, one
thing mire than another could. deprive the Royal
Family of those comforts which they had a right,
to hope to enjoy, it was the circumstance of
the interior concerns. of the 'family—(Hear,
bear !)---being liable to be dragged • before.
the public by questions'. asked• in that House
under a pretence of regard for their welfare, which
Would not be tolerated if asked of any private fa-
mily in the kingdom. He knew it hal been iosi-
'seated that Ministers had not been forward to give
information to the nation on a subject in which
they were deeply interested, and which it had
been attempted to connect with this ; but what-
ever .might be inferred from intelligence gained
front various sources, or even by communications
made public by Foreign Powere,, it never bait
been the practice of the English Government,
nor indeed cora, with any regard to con,- •
shon sense, to communicate to Parliament what.
hail taken place iu such a case till the pro-
ceedings had • taken that course and shape,
thatsome formal instrument could be, submit- '
ted to their consideration. While on this sub-
ject, he must rebut the insinuation which on for-
rneenight had been thrown out, as to the Treaty
of Marriage understood to he going on having
been impeded in its progress by any tithe; con-,
elected with the question now before the Housee---
(Hear, hear !) If it were attempted to connect the, ,
two transactions; if it were insinuated that the sup-
posed difficulties in the way ofthe projected mar-,
riage had any thing to do with, the exclusion of
the Princess of Wales front the Queen's Drawing-
room, he distinctly denied the fact, and wished it
to be known that the Treaty of Maeriage was in
active progrusa after the exclusion of her Royal.
Lighoess was made known,. lie had no hesi-
tation saying, that tip tO the I Oth of June,
after the Di'awiag-roont had peen held, to the
eiusion of the :Princess, and after the debate on
the sulijecteel;ich had taken
,place
,in that House,
the Treaty had been going on, and this was Sal-
,sient to disprove all the *tau:lncurs 4iich had gone .

abroad as to the .etnneetion lietti,cen these trars.
actions.=.(pear, hear !) With respect to' the
motion befQre the Hdose, he rertaiitly had hatt'no.
. reason to .expect it "Would he that which was
relieved to find it prOved ; for whatever dillienlty
the flOtie might find in approaching it, there was.
eioreastsri to stsppOse, Whatever were the reasons
of the Prince for resolving never ti connect hin't-
- self-with the-hincessiagaini- that in their separa-
tion, be was at all dispitsed to create, or to con-
, tinue any•_entbarrassatent of a pecuniary ni ture,.
of which she might have to complain, and wilich
could be property removed. lostead of a motion
like that before them, he had conceived that the
. Hon. Gentlemita- meant to 5111)111A the late corres-
pondence to the House, with a view to found on
ti'vat,it claim of. right On behalf of the Princess
Wales to be admitted to her Majesty's Drawing,
room ; for certainly, if die wished the House to
consider her situation in a peettnia6t point of View,
her letter could only serve to lead them from it.
.The last subject treated upon in her Royal High-
ness's. Letter, as in the -Speech of the Honour-
, able Gentleman, when lie last brought this ques-
tion tbrward„ was the pecuniary wants of • her
Royal Highness. One Gentleman, indeed," just
below the pillar (Mr. Tierney), lie was apprized,
hatkaken that view' of the business, hut no one
else had dune this, so that lie (Lord Castlereagh[)
had expected, the-debate of this night would take
every possible range, rather than it would-be di-
rected to that' point which now appeared to he
its only object. He could wish to knoW if. the
lloriourable'Gentlernan, as on the former debate,
thought that the-Princess might claim to be admit-
tedto her Majesty's Draw ing- room , not as matter
of favour, but as a matter of right ?—(Hear, hear,
hear !)----11-he did, he was ready to meet hire on
that questimt. Every Minister of the .`iovereign
was responsible' to that House for his conduct, '
not doing his duty, or for overstepping its 'limits.
From their decision there was no appeal; for when
they lost the confidem:,e of that }louse, that in-
stant, as the lion. Gentleman well knew, their
functions were entirely at an end. He was of
opinion all would best do their duty by that coon-
try which they were anxious to serve, endeavour- -
ing to keep -within the limits of thoSe functions
which they were constitutionally called upon to
exercise, and Parliament never did better than
when it abstained from touchingon measures
which it could not practically execute, without
the risk of falling into trdsconceptions as to the
nature of their duty, and -the extent of their
privileges. It was not for Parliament to de-
termine ,Who should appear at Court. Nothing',
could be more preposterous than' to say the
Princess had a right to be- there. Little had he
expected to
.find this asserted on her part, in
'any letter-which might be wrote-by her authority,
more especially in one of 'so grave a nature as
that addressed to the Speaker. Her Majesty's
Drawing-room was' certainly the place' where
they went to pay their addresses to the Queen,,
hitt still he.tvould- contend it was the Court of the'
SovereiglL It was called by his Officers, and not
boy. the Officers of her Majesty, who attended,
and had her right hand,' to introduce those Ivlio
were presented. Was it for the House to -say
whether this or that person should appear at
Court, and take upon themselves to determine
whether lie should receive. them graCiously, or
otherwise ? Unquestionably not.. This was a
jurisdiction over the Sovereign, which no. Mi-
nister, which no Parliament could eXereik-
-(llear, hear, hear was not required by
the Constitution that the Sovereign should hold a
Court at all : it depended upon his pleasure to hold •
one or not as he thought best. If holding one, he
was to he-called ,to air account as- to whom he
.might be pleased to receive, and the manner in
which lie should think proper to receive then[, it
wonld be most degrading to hint, 'that holding a
Court, he.might. not use that discretion which
the meanest individual in the land was free to ex-
ercise in his own haidtation.---7(llear, hear !).---if
the Sovereign were held to be the most resposible
Minister in the nation, it, would

act thus by him, unless it were thought fitting
that he should be the most miserable and ab-
ject being 111 the realm, He ktiew it was at-
tempted to connect the question now agitated-,
with respect to the Princess, with an iropressiOn
formerly made on the mind of the King ; and to
spew that the coarse pursued towards her Royal
Highness was Very different front what wouldhaVe
beeri.pursued conformably to his Majesty's 'wishes
He denied the inference. Whatever the feelings
of the Prince had- been on the matter of their
separation (which no man could` lament- more.
than he (Lord Castlereagh) did, he had kept down
those feelings, and repeatedly met the Princess in
the Drawiug-rooM, after that inquiry which lead
terminated in her favour; while the question rested
on the grounds-on which that had left it. But
without going into the subjeet, he would say it*
wasithpos,sible for any man Who had observed the
course of public events, to deny that either the de-
sign or misconduct had caused the transactions in
Which the Princess was concened, to assume an
appearancegnite distinct from that which they for-
meth wore. Her former letter had been made the
Vehicle of direct insult on the Sovereign, and it was
impossible to disguise the fact that persons had '
been permitted to approach . her .Royal High-
'less; ..who were detected in forming a cabal in
the country (Hear', [tear, hear !) through the mc-
(limnt of the press, for the purpose of aspersing
the Royal Family, and especially the "Illustrious
Personage now at its head. By these persons an
attempt had been made to vilify, and degrade the
Prince, not' only in the eyes of his future sub-
jects, but even " in the eyes of his children.",
(Hear, hear, hear !) He conk' understand that
true dignity would view with calm contempt theSe
malignant efforts to lower It in the eyes of the
world ; but; looking to the ordinary course of
hunian nature, he knew of no instance where the
parry conceiving himself injured had been recon-
ciled to those who wanted firmness to guard
against being made the instruments of others ," to
vilify and calumniate. havin=g _ made this state-
ment, he flattered himself that, if they were still
to be afflicted with these discussions, things would
notiqoa Wenilited to be connected, which had no-
thing to do with each other ; and he
,particu-
larly hoped, that the last exclusion of the Prin-
cess of Wales - from the lira Wing-room, would
not be eousidered as resting on the seine

:grovaltis on which the former teeasares of is Ma-
jesty:Were founded, arliem he thoaght• proper to
aibuit 'her at Court, after a result of a different
natnre. He put it to the catiiitaarrand manlineSs'
of therilouse; if the oialisguised ealaraity avowed,
when the separation between the Royal Person-
ages' was in point of fact, as complete, as final,
and as.hopeless as, in the ordinary state of so-
ciety, it could be, whether there- was any proba-
bility that..tacy, by, agitating the question, could
do any good ? W.heu he spoke of the separation
thus, he did that which he should not have the
prestiniption to do; if any probability existed that
the-case was other than feopeleas of • remedy. it
witS in proof. that the Kim; had viewed the cir-
CIpIiStATICCS in the sante light, and. considering
the separation as a'misfortune, which it was vain e
to endeavenr to put an end to, the only question
C- with his Slajesty had. been, what arraugement'
would be likely to make this state, of things least
painful to both parties? He would now state that
which from disluelination unnecessarily to bring the
affairs or-the Rovtl Family under the consideration
of the House (for which be slid not expect, to be
censured) had prevented his communicating to
them before. A solenea instrument had been-
soMe:- yeaeaesinee drawa up, whia had been
signed by' the King, and most: of the MinisterS of
that daye and which had also the signature of the
Princess', proViding formally a distinct establish=
Meat fOr her Royal' Highness, founded on the
principle of separation, and on the impossrunity
of thZ., parties being reconciled—(Hear In

lie trusted that hcmight he allowed to assume that-
which the. King had sanctioned as Sovereign and as'
Father. With thatarrangement the Princess her 7
self had been satisfiedeand had Undertaken to live
on the provision then made for her, without
contracting new debts. He did not say that
what was a satisfactory. provision then must
necessarily be satisfactory now, nor did he state
this in opposition to any improvement in heiesi-
tuation, which it ;night be thought proper to
'make. 'Whatever thP reasons Might be, which
determined the' Printe not to live With her Royal
Highness, he had never for a moment been dis-
posed to make her feel his displeasure in peen-
niary'Matters. He had in the year 1809 come
forward to pay her debts, and tci increase her
income, by augmenting her annual allowance out
of his, own. •This wits a sufficient proof that
money had never been a question between theta,
and that the Prince had no objection to a limit!
ample proviSion being made for. her Royal :High-
ness, it' it should appear necessary.. At the pe-
riod to which lie (Lord Castlereagh) hurt! referred,
her inConie was 12,000/. per annum- from the
Prince, besides 50001. which she received from
the., Exchequer, and ,which wi, independent of
him. The Prince foam! t hat her Royal Highness was
iri debt, and that her indome wasamt sufficient to
enable her to avoid contracting debts: He then,
rather ,than stiffer an application to be made to
Parliament on the subject, took upon himself to
pay her debts, and at the same time increaser) her
allowance 5,000/. Makinglier total inconicaumunt
to 22,0001. This. he proposed to do on having
security that be should not he called upon tor any
debts that she might hereafter contract. Snell
security Could not he-given, but as his Royal High-
ness undertook to pay her debts; and augmented
her income, nevertheless, on the-assuranee of his
Majesty, that if he should at any future period be'
so called upon; he (the King) would then re-coin-
mend' it tti Parliament to'giVe his Royal.llighness
the securityrthe desired.. He (Lord Castlereagh),
was confident the House would feel the dell-
.
citcy and propriety. of • this conduct on the part
of the Prince, in preventing an application being
made to Parliament' in ' the year 180(.) for
the payment of the Princess's debts. There-
tipOn the solenin instrument of which he had
spoken was prepared, which gave. the Prince-the
assurance of his Majesty, that in the-case sup-
pose 1, he would, it.a future period, recommend
to Parliament tO'give'hini that sechrity which' he
considered n'ecesSary ; and the instruineut• so
drawn up Was founded on the principle of sepae
ration. At .the time this arrangement *as made,
the income of his'ftoyal Highness, as. Prince of
Wales was 120,0001; This' was reduced be the Pro-
perty Tax to 108,0001. He, with that feeling of
anxiety which he had ever manifested for the pay-
ment of his debts, thotigh sonic of Went were con-
tracted at an 'age, and under 'circumstances,'
which might have made others less careful iibuot
their liquidation, had set aside from his annual
incoao, the sum of 40,0001. to discharge these
incumbrancese This done, his income was then
about 70,0001. and out of this he paid the 12,0001.
which he allowed the Princess, as also the additional
5000/. which be gave her in 1809. :From the 70,000/.
therefore 17,0001. was to be deducted, which
brought his-incOrne dowato 53;000/. but anxious-
to.' -pay the debts of her Royal Ilighness, which
the,' amounted to 49,000/.; 34,000/. haviugebe-
fore been paid out of the Admiralty Droita for
the same purpose, as the debts contracted by the
Princess had been altogether something more than
80,0001. he made. a further deduction front his
income of 10,0001. to effect this object, thus re=
(facing his own allowance as Prince of Wales to
43,0001. The 16,0001. arising from the Duchy
Of Cornwall, made the total amoma of his income
53,0001. and while this was all he had for himself,
the Princess received from bum, or at least cost
hint, the annual sum of 27,0001. The conduct
of theyrince had in this transaction been such,
tlit4 he would say, perhaps, no husband ever had
made such sacrifices for a wife from whom he
was separated, that she might enjoy a proper
maintenance. •So tar had he been from vindic-
tively ;attempting to diminish ber domestic com-
forts, as had been basely insinuated _ out of
doors, his conduct bad been the very oppo,:
site, and he had made an arrangerhent which
no other husband would or could have been called
upon 19 make, had a settlement been made 14
such a case in Chancery—(Hear, bear, bear !).
He (Lord Castlereagh) would further say, it was
his firm belief, that could his Royal Highnesi
have come forward to increase the income of the
Princess of Wales, when an alteratioa was made
