The Day and , New

a Paper which we hold iii high esteem for
its loyal.principles,. and 'the ability with which it
maintains them, has this- day the following pas-

sage :

64 We do not bore advert to the foolish arguments of those

who pretend to criticise the medical treatment of the Princess.
They are simply contemptible, and sink to nothing before
the high medical reputation of the Gentle men wh• attended

her Royal klig,hness,and of those who after death so cart4olly
and scientifically exan3ined the body:"

This paisage we consider as very hasty,
_very
rash, and very imprudent on the part of the learned
and respectable Editor. Ele must.admit that the
national feelings have been intensely roused by
this interesting topic. What right his he to re,.
present as foolish the arguments of any medical
characters, who are anxious for the truth, that the
public feelings may be allayed ? What right, or
with what reason eat) he presume to say that
those arguments are " simply contemptible. ?"
Let him answer those argnments,and not, affect to
despie theta. What right has he to say that
those arguments sink to nothing before the high
medical reputation of the Gentlemen who attended
her Roirat. HIGHNESS, and of those who .after
death so carefully and Frientific4ly examine the
Body % Nor doubting for ourselves that the exa:
mi, a! ion was careful and scientoc, yet what can
the Editor know on this head but what comes
through ,private channels from the Parties con-
cerned ? Dies he not PaSlille the office of Umpire
an skis occasion, and step her wren those Parties,
and the general and anxious wishes and expecta-
tions of the Public ? The whole matter should
be submitted to the "leads of the Colleges of Physi-
cians and Surgeons on an occasion of so much inte-
rest and import anee, and such a Report from them
colloetively, as without entering into particalars
that could not properly be disclosed, and would
not be understood, might, in its general substance
and 'nature, satisfy the feelings of the Country and
put the subject finally to rest. The' Morning
Chronicle of this day contains the following
passage

" But that the whole responsibility ought not to has been
left, 'in the ahsence of all her family, to one medical practi-
tioner, is a position which cannot be disputed. Dr. Sims

tives. and to the Country, to learn that the fatal event is in

leate The Chrotticle reconcile its corn-
pl,aittr in the first passage, thitt " the whole re-
oitoa unt to hfive 14en'left, in the
absence of her family," &c, with its assertion,
the fatal event 1, in no degree to be ascribed
to the abFence Of her friends, or to the want
.of
the precautions thitt ought to have been made.
We doubt not that' The Chronicle %yin reconcile
