Some nf the Papers which mention the Dover
riot, seem to treat it as in some measure excus-
able, because the foreigners appeared to be per-
sons of a low rank in society l •Other Journals
have gone further, and without knowing a single
circumstance about the indiViduals,. have de-
scribed them as vile and abandoned wretches;
and it is no doubt to these anticipative calumnies
that the viOlences of which we speak are to be
attributed. We are quite sure that neither the
Queen herself, nor any honourable defender of
her •cause, can for a moment approve of such
conduct. In fact, it is extremely prejudicial to
her Majesty's interest to let it be supposed that
they can need the support of measures so unfair
and so violent. It. is placing her on ,the footing
of that worthless woman of quality, whose viola-
tion of her conjugal duties was lately the subject
of a very remarkable trial. In that case (as our
Readers may remember) the particeps criminis,
after a long period of adulterous intercourse, and
while he was secretly instigating the wife ,to
elope, had the art to persuade the injured hus-
band that the witness who had detected the
crime was not to be believed, became he was an
Italian, and of a low rank in society. Besides,
in a case of licentiousness, even if some of the
witnesses should be of vile habits and occupa-
tions, (as in common cases of adultery we find
brothel-keepers and other despicable wretches
often brought forward to give evidence), is it
not obvious that even such testimony as this may,
by the aid of corroborative and circumstantial
proof, be-rendered irresistible ? Thus Thistle-
wond's guilt admits not the shadow of a doubt,
and yet his detection and conviction were pri-
marily owing to information received from an
accomplice. We certainly do not mean to inti-
mate that the evidence•in her Majesty's case is
at all analogous to this ; but we say that the rea-
soning of her injudicious defenders is palpably
open to this answer, in the way of argument and
supposition. The result of the whole is, that we
ought to keep our minds in the fair equilibrium
of unbiassed justice, so that in a great question
of state we may not eventually be led to any
decision contrary to the interests of truth and of
our country.

THE KING AND QUEEN.

The following correspondence passed between
the KING and QUEEN a year after their marriage,
and within two months of the birth of their
Daughter :

.4 WinolsiTr Castle, April 30, 1796,

" lIIADAsr—As Lord Cholmondeley informs me that )otr.
wish I would define, in w• iting*, the terms 111111:1 which %V
at • to lire, I shall endeavour to explain nty,elf Upon that
head with as much clearness and witlaas much propviety
as
the nature of the subject will admit. Our inclinations a:e
not in our power, or should either of us he held answerable
to the other, because natnre has not made us suitable to tach
other. Tranquillity and comfor:able socie!y is, however, in
our payee' : let our inttreouise, therefote, he restricted to
that, and I will distinctly subscribe to the conditiont which
von required, through, Lady tiat even in the
event of any accident happening to my Diaghter, el.:id' I
trust Providence in its mercy will avert, I shall not infria4e
the terms of the restriction by proposing, at any period, a
connection of a more particular nature. I • hall now finally
close this disagreeable correspondence, trusting that, as we
have completely explained ourselves to each other, the rest
of oar lives will be passed in uninterrupted tranqoiliii..„

ANSWER.

" The avowal of your conversation with Lord Cholovinde-
ley neither surprises nor offends rut ; it merely con& meal
what you have tacitly insinuated for this twelvemonth. But
after this, it would be a want of delicacy, or rather an on-
worthy meanness in me, were I ti• complain of those condi-
tions which you impose 11p411) ynnrsrlf.
" I should have returned no answer to your letter, if it had
not been conceived in term, to make it doubtful whether this
arrangement proceeds front you or from me; and you are
aware that the credit of it belongs to you alone.
" The letter which you announce to me as the last oblige,
me to communicate to the King, as to my Sovereign and my
Father, both your avowal and my answer. You dill find en-
closed the copy of my letter to the King. I apprize you of it,
that I may not incur the slightest repitiach of duplicity front
you. As I have at this moment no protector but los Majesty,
I refer myself solely to him upon this subject : and if net con-
duct meets his approbation, I shall he in some degree at lertio-
consoled. I retain every:sentiment of gratitude for the si-
tuation in which I find myself, as Princess of Wales, enabled
by your means to indulge in the free exercise of a virtue dear
to my heart—l mean charity.
" It will be my duty, likewise, to act upon another mo-
tive—that of giving-an example of patience and resignation
under every trial.
" 1)o me the justice to believe that I shall never cease to
pray fur your happiness, and to be

Gt h of May, 1796." " CAROLINE."-
* The substance of this letter had been previously con-
veyed in a message through Lord Cholmondeley to her Royal
Highness. But it was thought by her Royal Highness to be
infinitely too important to rest merely neon a verbal commu-
nicition, and therefore she desired that his Royal Highness's
pl. asure upon it should be communicated to her in writing.
t Upon the receipt of the message alluded to ill the fore-
going note, her Royal
Highness, though she had malting
do but to submit to the. arrangement which
,his.ltoyal High-
ness might dett rinne upon, desired it ;eight be understood,
that she should insist that any such arrangement, one.
made, should be considered as final ; and that his !loyal
Hightu s. should nut retain the right, from time to time, at
his pleasure, or under any circumstances, to alter it.
