stISREnteiiiIITATIon.
Mr.. PONSONBY rose for the purpose of eorrett-'
in a misrepresentation• that had appeared in some
ie
the public prints, respecting what he had said on
dnesday, as he was anxious that he might irPt be
misunderstood on a -subject connected Oath the de-
bate which stood for this day. In the last paragraph
of a report of his speech, given in a paper (the name
Of which he did not mention), he seemed tO cast
some reflection on thew who had been accessary to
'the publication of those letters Or the -Winces' of
Wales. Nothing Was further from hie thoughts thin
to convey any censure on the conduct oftheaseeseits
who' had caused those letters to be published. What
he had said was, that the blatne of the felirieations!
of Those scandalgiving'publications should*** the'
feet of the authors. In his opinions the psieliestios
of those letters ;which bad appeased, was.. teuoerest.-
isting circumstances, unavoidable, and the-needperf
consequence of the first letter from the Queen to het
Itoyal Highness.
THE PRINCESS Q! WALES.
The SPEAKER said, plior .to theideuse mea ' i.-1
istr to public 'business, ho thought:ill summary fora
him to state, that since itir-hask, fem. down to thel
House, he had re.ceiveil a kat:fain her Royal High- 1
ness the Princess of Wilii. which, if the House
pleased, he-would read.—(Lend trio: of read.)
The SPEAKER then read as followi t
" Cesmausit.Heuse, $4 hate 1514.
" The Princess of Wales desires Mr. Speaker will'
inform the House of Columns, that his Royal High-
ness the. Prime Regent has been advised to take such
stepi as have prevented her from appearing at Courts
and to decliwe his Royal Highness's fixed and unal-
terable determination, never to meet the Princess of
Wales upon any occasion, either in public or private.
46 The proceedings of . 1806, and 1807, and last
year, are in the recollection of the House, as well as
the ample and unqualified vindication of the Princess's
conduct, to which those proceedings led.
" It is impossible tar the Princess of `Wales to
conceal from herielrak intention of the advice which
has now been 'given to the Prince Regent, and the
probability that there are ultimate objects in view,
pennon with danger to thi security of the succes.
'stied, and the domestic peace of the Realm.
is Under these circumstances, eves if the Princess's
deity towards herself could suffer her to remain silent,
her sense of what is due to her daughter, and.to the
highest interests of the country, compels her to make
this communication to the House of Commons.
. " The Princess of Wales encloses Copies of the
Correspaadenea which has passed, and tvhich she se.
quests Mr. her will communicate to the House."
When Mr. Seialtaa bad concluded the letter, be
demanded of the House, whether he should band the
cldicanWßts which Wercenelatesi in itanaks Cl,msk
the Papers ?—This in was- followed by-
loud cries of "Reed! Re P' . -

her of his approaching nuptials with her daughter.-..

these letters objected to. But, Sir, I carteot *see any-

written to you, Sir, who-so ably and so honourably

ilea wrote to the Chancellor, and afterwards to the
Regent himself. I need not inform the. HMS with
*hat effect. She had therefore an resource but an
appeal to the hearts and u'aderstandings of bet future
subjects. But, Sir, if a precedent were wanting to
vindicate her conduct on this occasion, it would be
easy to find one, and that of the highest authority,.
lit must be fresh in the memory of the House, in the
sear 1804, his Royal Highness the Prince of-Wales,
with a spirit well worthy the Heir-Apparent of the
nrone, desirous of. Wing_ forettsbat is eows:
thand in case of invasion, ,then threatened by that
restless *psi meted/14s scourge of mankind; whose
sue of glory is now set, and whose dreaMs of ' mad
'ambition are now happily at an end, applied to his
,Afildestyfor a command. His Majesty refused the
request ; the Prince felt his character concernd, and
appealed to the tribunal of the public, phlishing
fits letters to his Majesty and the Duke of York.—
The Annual Register of that year will assist any -Gen-
tleman's memory which may be defective on this sub-
jeCt. Among many strange and undefined charges,
for want of proving criminality, I have heard the
charge of had piste most commonly urged against
her. But, Sir, though I consider bad taste, by no
Means .s desirable ingredient in the compbsition of a
Princeass for when we reflect upon the various perils
with which her paths through life have been beset ;
when we reflect upon her education abroad, and her
situatiow at home, ought no allowances to be made
for a Princess who has not had the happiness to have
the taste, or at once understand the feelings or =an-
gers of this country ? But, Sir, I agree with her
Royal Highness, that the time ehesen td pen.
scribe hee_ is peculiarly galling, and I feel the faU
force et that part of her letter which applies to the
approach of her daughter's nuptials and the event
of her own coronation. And I should like to ask
the Riaht Hon.• Gentleman, if she is to be excluded
from either of these ceremonies ? I hope when the
necessary supplies for the marriage are granted by
Parliament cher will be'granted conditionally, that
'the marriage stiff be a public one, and that the Prin-
cess of Wales shall appear at it with the consequence
and splendour due •to her situation. I could have

Mr. WHIrBREAD.—The speech of the' Right .
Honourable Gentleman in defence of the-idvice he
has given, has been like the advice itself—special,:
minute, wavering—assuming a- right—a right to ex-
clude, and acting as if he weir conscious the party
advised had no such right. Sir, I maintain that a
great indignity, a harsh disgrace. a cruel and on-
merited punishment has been inflicted on an innocent
peison, on a subject of the Crowd—who was by that
Crown protected as long as it bad moral and mental
life and energy to protect heti& At one time dm`
