FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR-6.4 live in so remote a part of the
Empire, that, what with the distance front Lon-
don and cross posts, it often happens in my vil-
lage that "_news much older than our ale goes
round :" in fact, I have only jest heard of the
kick•up made in your City by the arrival of her
Majesty THE QUEEN, who, i perceive, is made the
cool of the same Party she formerly left in the
lurch by going to the Continent ; and although
the then leader of the Parry declared, that, had
he suspected her intention to go abroad, he would
not have voted the increase of her pension, yet
the Party has such a stock of charity that its
arms are always open to receive the recreants.-
1 do hope that matters will be settled without an
investigation ; for if one takes place there trill
not be the same reasons for hushing it up as for-
merly—though 1 am #ersuaded that in law there
is no grounds for one. The Princess of WaLus
was virtually divorced a mensa et thoro by the
vote of Parliament allowing her 35,0001. per
annum; and I do not think that the Prince had
afterwards any right over her conduct, excepting
in a perspective political view, as in the event of
his coming to the Throne; and I have reason to
know that it was with this view only that infor-
mation was taken in Italy relative to her
Royaj Highness's conduct there ; and even this
was not done until Fame, with its thou-
sand tongues, had sounded throughout all
Europe, the scenes of Pesaro and the Lego di
Como. The QUBEN says, she is come over to
defend her honour ; but Italy, not England, is
the place to disprove the rumours which every
body has beard, and which site never took any
pains to conceal or contradict. Her MAJESTY
complains, that owing to the influence of the
agents of the British Government, she was not
treated with proper respect. Did the idea never
enter her MAJESTY'S head, that her almost general
exclusion from female society of rank might ori-
ginate in another cause ? I will not enter further
into the subject, because I hope the public will
be spared the revelations which must follow any
inquiry ; but the time is now come to state a fact-
to the public, which will endear the person of his
Majesty Geottasf-IV. still more to. his faithful
subjects. The origin of the delicate investiga-
tion is known but to few. It did not arise with
the PRINCE, it Was forced upon him by one of his
Royal Brothers;. and it was only after that Royal
Brother had been at the pains of collecting a body
of information of the most important nature, that
at length the PRINCE ceded to the instances made
on the subject. On the investigation facts, or
what had every appearance of facts, came out,
which induced an immediate termination of far-
ther inquiry. This was a mystery to the public,
and afroltrzd an excellent theme for the opposition
press to assert the " perfect innocence. of the
PRINCESS, and the cruel conduct of her enemies."
The PRINCE was calumniated in every way, and
his Royal Highness submitted in silence : be
even imposed silence on those friends, who could
with a breath have confounded his enemies. The
cause may now be revealed. A Gentleman, by
dint of inquiry, had discovered proofs of facts
which might have satisfied a Jury ; Royal
Highness, on being made acquainted with them,
instantly caused a suspension of all proceedings—
he would not even permit these facts to be laid
before the High Commission, and his Royal Highs
ness then declared, that he would submit to any
calumny and to any censure that the public might
throw upon him, for the mysterious suspension
of the Investigation, rather than that the Mother
of the future Queen of the British Empire should
be brought into farther question.
History, Sir, does not, in all" its annals, present
a finer trait of feeling as a Parent, or a more he-
roic sacrifice for the honour of the Throne. Here
was no parade of virtue, his Royal Highness pa-
tiently suffered the calumny, and the mens conscia
real was his only consolation, for he did not even
deign to acquaint his best friends with his mo-
tives, willing that even they should blame him,
rather than extend farther the knowledge of cir-
cumstances it was so important to conceal.
June 14. VEILAX.

CORN.EKCHANGE, JUNE 21.—A considerable
quantity of Monday's supply of Wheat remained
over for this morning's Market, for which there
was little or no demand, notwithstanding the un-
settled state of the weather, and Monday's prices
were with difficulty obtained for the fittest Samples,
but Red Wheat was totally. unsaleable ; Oats eon-
tinoe very dull sale, owing to superabundant ar-
rivals. in Barley, Beaus, and Peas, there is no
alteration.

Thar fine Regiment, the Tyne Yeomanry Hus-
sars, five troops, commaipded by Lieutenant Sir
THOMAS BURDON, are expected to go on perma-
nent duty next week, at Sunderland near the Sea,
in the county-of Durham.

The contest for the representation of the City
of Dublin will he the most severe known for many
years. Mr. ELLIS lies deCinred that he will, if
necessary,/ spend the last shilling of his fortune
rather than not succeed.
