.f OR THE SUI. 4

• Mn. EDITOR—I am riot, a little surprized at
seeing a paragraph in The Morning Chronicle an-
nouncing my death, andat tire Same time informing
the public, that I ik--as a principal evidence against
THE QUEEN, with a laconic.remark, that her cause
would not suffer by such a witness. Where The
Morning , Chronicle obtained such inf-Ormation is
to me astonishing. 'I must be allowed to assure
you, that I did not come to thiS Country with
any of the vie*s thus" imputed to me, though I
might with justice add, that thereis. no person
bettei acquainted with the Conduct Of Tilt QUEEN
'during her residence-on-the 'Continent than my-
self.' •
I hope in. a few, days to .be 'able to prove to.
you that I am not the perSoh thail have been
represented to be, and Mr. L. Goi DSMITII is`al-
ready informed of lily original, when certainly I.
could have no idea of inlruding myself thus on'
`the Public.; the document you shall have-as soon
as possible. •Stiffice_itrthat I am by my father's
side the grand-daughter.' of the late Lord HYDE
CL4RENDON, and by any mother's, niece to die'
late King of . POLAND WhiCh Will be proved by
,
my baptism. -
I ain, Sir, your obliged and obedient Servant

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

JULY 15,1820.

Str.---When certain English Newspapers be-
cause, forsooth,. they must not shrink one tittle
from their motto" apposition," or in other words,
an endeavour to bring into contempt the Sove-
reign and his Ministers, lend their columns in-
discriminately for the insertion of any matter
that, savours. or their diabolical and revolu-
tionary principles, there surely needs no apo-
logy for offering to your notice, for the further-
ance of truth and justice, a feiv observatioiis
on a letter which appeared in The 'Times of
Thursday last, signed " F. MACIRONI," which
sets forth, that he met in the streets of Naples in
December, 1815, a Mr. QUENTIN, brother to the
Colonel of that name, and even goes so far as to
state, that Mr. QUENTIN, on being interrogated
as to his business at Naples, seemed confused,
and hesitated in answering, which caused a sus-
picion of that Gentleman's being a spy on the
conduct of the QUEEN, then Princess of Wales,
and residing at Naples. That he (Mr. MAcIRoNI)
mentioned his suspicion
,to King Joachim Murat
who sent. him with a message to theQUEE'!:, &C.

Now, Sir, I am aware, that Mr. QvuNTlNhas,
by a letter inserted in- The.. Times of Friday,
shewn that he was not the person seen as stated
by Mr. MACIRONI, but even that refutation of
what has been advanCed, may leave an impres-
sion on the minds of persons unacquainted with
the circumstances -of the period alluded to, not
,at all favourable to the truth, on the presumption
of -some' one, having represented himself
,to
be the Gentleman spoken of. With a view,
therefore, of preventing the ill effects that
must naturally; arise from ,the publication of such
statements .as - that signed MA.c.tuoNr, I
assert, on my own knowledge, and
_'indeed, it
wanted but little inquiry into-the history .of ..the
close of the late war, to have •ascertained the
facts, that neither the Queen, nor Murat, nor
Macironi, were in' the. Kingdom of Naples
in the month. of Deceniber,.lB-Ib.-- The QUEEN
resided 'at Naples in that. month of. the year
1814, at which period, however, Mr. MicinoNi
was living 'in this country.-:..How.Mr..MAMIONI
means to account-fOr this: misrepreSentation, I am
at a loss to- know,- but should his memory:have
failed him, I think I could refresh` it.,;by pointing-,
out his particular place of abode at the tithe he
would have had us .believe him to have..been pa
'rading the Strada di Chiaja of Naples. I am,
Sir, your obedient Servant;
MAUIUCE M. G. DOWLING.
