tVliiibread) read in order to ptoduce a false
sion, and that on his head was to fell the blame of
the whole publication. He could hardly suppose,
however, that even if he had read any document with,
the vie?, imputed to him by the Noble Lord, that;
kny man could *2o'lll2le it as a justification of such1
Conduct as the publication of that blasted evidence.—
He had indeed reed the Minute which was sent by the
Cabieet that made ieto the Illustrious Person whose,
acquittal it pronounced. The Noble Lord had said
that he was the first person *lto had ever read a state
document in that House ; tart he apprehended that
no course could be more decorous, mere proper, more
fair, or more Parliamentary than that of reading an
authentic document. ; But the Noble Lord had said
that it was a garbled extract—it was not a garbled,
for he had read-the whole of it. It was, said the Noble '
Lord, a garbled extract, for it was impossible to make
sense of it without the former Minute. (Hear, hear.)'
lie could inform . the Noble Lord, however, that he
bad not teen the first person who read those docu-
ments in the House, for the Hon. Gentleman behind
him (Mr. Cochrane Johnstone) had the priority of
him.—(Near. hear.)—lf there was any credit in the''
ict, to that Hon. Gentleman, therefore, be resigned
it ; but he was quite satisfied that the credit or blame
of the second reading should attach to him. ' Gtarite'
in g also to the Noble Lord, that he had read. a gar-
bled extract, he could remind him also, that it'wonld
notbave been the first of that description, fbr certain
garbled extracts of a production called the “Letters
of a Protestant," had been read in that Home by the
Portland Cabinet, which extracts could only have
been taken from the. Council Book. The Noble Lord
hes,: knew whether he had any share in those letters;
but this was certain, that they had been ascribed to a
tenon connected with' his Lordship. Taking the
blame, however, of having read the Minute upon
himself, his motive for reading it was to shew how
the lattor.Cabinet had differed from the former—how
imequivoLdly they had pronounced their opinion
'upon tile innocence of her Royal Highness, and how
they had advised that she might be received by his
Majesty without delay, in a manner becoming her
exatted rank and station. But there was a Minute be-
_ yond that which he had read, and which referred to
a requeit matte by her Royal flightless for an apart-
ment in .omi,e)f the Royal p;alaces in order to enable
her 10) al HiOness to attend ;.he Drawing-room
wiill more convenierjce. The Cabinet had justified
the request, but left the compliance with it to his Ma-
jesty's pleasure, After all those proceedings, and in
the face of those decisions, it was that the deposition
pt Lady Douglas was sent forth into the world
through the medium of the public Papers, and, he
would mention two of those Papers to slim that the,
publication did not interfere with the plans of Admi-
nistration, nor were disagreeable to the residents at
Carlton House. On recollection, he would pass over

Wales, he would select the other—he would fix on

*Ur. its stated in thelteport of the Conftissioltele
that there was no-other Step to be taken except what
thi Law Officers might advise in the form of a pro-
secntisin of Lady Douglas, he had thought it possi-
ble for him to move an Address to the Prince Re-
gent, praying that he might direct his Law-Officers
to prosecute -Lady Douglas for perjury, itccordinjc to
the prayer of the petition of Sir John and Lady Do-
uglas, who were placed in the same situation as the
Princess of Wales, and were either the most guilty
or innocent persons in the world. This had been his
original intention, but he had since been told that a
technical difficulty existed as to this mode of proceed-
ing, notwithstanding the opinion of those great au-
thdrates who had signed the Report, and that, ac-
cording to Law Officers, either a prosecution would
not lie, or if it would, that it would not be possible
to bring conviction home. On that account he would
alter his motion so as to relieve the House and the
Prince Regent from all technical difficulties, and to
bring the matter to an issue. There were certain cir-
cumstances which he now telt it his duty to allude to,
and they were of such a nature that the purest inno-
cence could not afford protection under them.
—ln one of the depositions he had seen a direct
denial of a charge relative to words made use of, and
yet, if the statement in the public papers was entitled
to credit, that person who was called to account for
what he was alleged to have said, bad declared on
ihis lath "that he never uttered the words imputed
to With but treated it as the infamous lie of the day."
A Noble Person was reported to hive shaken his head
significantly, and to have said with a smile, a, that
he could not help thinking there must be remethiag in
the servants' deptisition." "Good Goo! (exclaimed
Mr. Whitbread) what protection can innocence af-
ford, if credulity is so great id one instance, and in-
credulity so obstinate in another Does it not be-

lic character of the person who held the reins of go.'

royalty, wherever it existed, shocked by them
Though his Majesty had received the Princess of
Wales into his favour, and continued his paternal
protection pp 'to the last period of his mental exist-
ence, yet were there persons who would smile and-
shake their heads, and, as he !,ad heard, there were
some in whose esteem the Princess of Wales was
lowered in consequence of the publication of this evi-
dence; which had beeu twice declared unworthy of
eredit, for no other reason, but because it was pub-
lished after her Royal Highness's acquittal. He felt
it his duty, therefore, to arrest the progress of such
injurious impressions ; it was the duty of that House
to rescue the Princess of Wales from this shameful
exposure. And here he would revert to that period
when this unhappy Princess first came, a str.inger, to
these shores :—ln 1795 she had been married amidst
the congratulations of the nation; in 17173 she had
wveg, birth to the Ptincess Charlotte. t a whisper
is breathed against her character or cuojoct at that
period yct, in fifteen months after her arrival, the
public were unhappily informed that a separation had
taken place. True it has, thatLis Roy al Highness
had stated that their tempers did not to-,,ree ; yet there
were circumstances of ..ogravation hich plainly in-
dicated that the Princess was not acceptable. From
that time they knew that this illustrious Lady, against
whom calumny had not yet dared to breathe,this young
and distinguished foreigner—was separated trom her
husband, without a friend, without a prxector, with-
cut the trappings of royalty, without the consolation
of her daughter's society—bereft of every natural
connection—her friends fix removed—au exile in the
and of her adoption; this situated, this unhappy
Lady had, Jo conducted liena,:f for a series of years,
that no disclqsme of the sliofvest imputation had
been made. But he would suppose, that after a lapse
of years, such guilt as was now-charged against the
Princess had been proved, and he would ask what
remedy a husband would have, who was thus cir.
cumstanced, in common life ? Would he not be told
by the Judges that he should have used greater cau-
tion—that a young and amiable foreigner should not
have been left thus exposed to danger—thus unpro.
tected by a husband's care ? But when they consi-
dered a Princess of Wales thus situated—bereft of
society, of amusement, of her child, if to her such a
charge as,this could be brought home, no mitigation
could be pleaded for her offence, but it must be ex-
piated by tier blood. If they looked to the situation
in which the succession to the Throne was placed un-
der
existing circumstances, how did it stand ? Lady
Douglas was again examined as a credible wisness be-
fore
Mr. Conant. Lord Eldon, the Chancellor of
England, he who had been a party to the Report '
Which established the innocence of the Princess—he
it was that now stated Lady Douglas to be a credible
witnesse!--(Hear, Hear.)—Lady Douglas swore that
the Princess was delivered of a male child, and if
this depositioi were true, then the Princess Charlotte
would have no right to the Throne, unless the child
was proved to be the offspring of an adulterous inter-
course. The year 1802 was the period when these acts
of criminality, when the fact, not only of pregnancy,
but the birth of a male child were sworn to have
taken place in the deposition of Lady Douglas.—
That deposition he would not read, he could wish
never to have seen it, and yet, had not certain events
happened, the Book containing that and all the other
affidavits would have been given to the public seven
years ago. This deposition, be it remembered, re.
(erred entirely to circumstances which had occurred
lirce years before, and had not, during the whole
of the; intermediate period, been communicated by.'

names of the persons who foie e 4 was Commission,
were such as could not be mentioned without ho.
nour, and such as must be deerried on all lido; to
be most fully competent to frame a just and a wile
decision. But he must confess, that he had ob
served with some surprise, that while her Royal
Highness was pronounced innocent' Of the main
charge, because 'the evidence on whiCh it was found-
ed was not entitled to credit, the lesser criminality
was considered as established 'upon the testimony of
cole and Didgood. He held LA his hand a pamph.
•

‘.llt, lately published, under itiffe, in wtieh ever*
thing was " assumed, and which purported, most
falsely he'believed, to be published by Royal Au-
thority. This most malicioes poblication thus
ushered into the world, so calculated by the fictitious ,
unction annexed to it to mislead, was advertised in
large letters on the outside of a shop in the City, as
if to prepossess even those who cottld tot purchase
the work, with an impression of the guilt of her
Royal Highness. In the introduction it was ob- ,
served, that the depositions of the Dbliglases were
placed first in order, because those were the- only do-
cuments which contained any matter seriously affect-
ing the Princess. Mote this :wily tribunal of ell
ranks and descriptions of persons, assembled in MI
sorts of places, drunk and sober, was. the Princess of
Wales, the mother of -the Heir Apparent to the
Throne, thus called to receive judgment on her con-
duct. To recur then to the evidence. The deposi-
tion of Frances Lloyd, stated positively• that Dr.
Mills had informed her of the pregnancy of the Prin-
cess of Wales. This is contratlicted. on oath by that
respectable person,_ an oath that might have satisfied
an incredulity less obstinite than Lord Moira's. It
was however inferred, that Frances Lloyd must have
committed an• error, and }trust have intended to
swear that Mr. Edmeads was the Gentleman who
had disclosed to her the important secret. Well
then, Mr. Edmeads is accordingly sent for, .ead with
an equal degree of spirit, he too denies that he bad
ever known or communicated such a circumstange.
He could not help their being a little astonished that
the testimony of Lloyd, thus blasted and destroyed, •
had been made by the Commissioners one of the
grounds of tlitOtAFport. The next witness was one
whose 'eidetic milst necessarily make a very deep
impression, because it was the evidence of a pet son
of rank and a lady of high and unblemished elm-
racter—he meant Mrs. Lisle. She had been placed
l
Gear the person of the Princess from her first arrival,
'and had remained, he begged the House to-recollect,
with her Royal Highness until the year 1812.
(Hear, hear.)—This' in his opinion*, was the best,
because the practical evidence of her zentime.its on
►the conduct of the Princess of Wales. Unfavourable
inferences had, hoarever, been drawn from her depo-
sition, and there was some reason to wonder at the
manner in which it was framed, when compared
with the evidence out of which it had been extracted.
—lt ought to be considered too, what then was the
state of 'Mrs. Lisle's mind, dejected and downcast
by a severe domestic affliction. He hit regret at
being obliged to detain the House so long ; but it
was necessary, he f'und it. indispensable, after what
had taken place, to call upon the Public to suspend
their judgment ; be felt it to be his duty to do all
that in las Rower lay, to arrest the progress of public 1
opinion, With respect to this unfortunate and high-
born Codividnal, unfairly influenced as that opine i.
had been. He would, for this purpose, read i. 1.. a
part of the &Position ; and then compare it with the
evidence, a copy of which had been put that morning
into his hands, delivered by Mrs. Lisle before the
Commissioners, in ISii6. The deposition attributed
a flirting manner to her Royal Highness ;—and Ile
would now spew, from the paper wLich he held in
his hand, how this declaration had been drawn from
that respectable witness. In the examination, the-
Commissioners, and. in pardcular his Noble Friend,
Lord Erskine, pursued a train of interrogation,
which, had he been sitting judicially in any other
Court, he felt convinced that he would not have
sanctioned. The questions were all of a leading na
ture, and, in some instances, such as might naturally
perplex and delude the witnesses. Take, for example
Did not Captaih Manby sit'next to the Princess
'at table ?"—" He did." " Now, Mrs. Lisle, can
you lay, that all the time was pa-sed in the same
'way by her Royal Highness and Caitain Manby ?"
Was this (said Mr. Whitbread), he would put it to
any professional man, a regular, a fair, or indeed
any thing but a ludicrous na:de of examining a wit-
ness ?--(lfear, hear.) ‘e What, then, her Royal
Highness and Captain Manby sat apart ?"---" They
did." 44 What do you suppose they had been talk-
ing about ?"- -(a laugh.)—" I did not listen."—
" Now, Mrs. Lisle, answer rue as a woman of real
son, of honour, and of the world-2 before GOD, was
She conduct of her Royal Highness such as was fit
, for a married woman ?"—To this, Mrs. Lisle, whose
feelings, excruciated. as they had been reoently by
her domestic loss—a loss which such a question must'
have brought back to her recollection, answered is a
collected and becoming manner—" My Lord, my
daughter lived well with her husband." This answer,
was not inserted in the deposition. Lord Ellenbo-
rough then observed, " You had better ask her, 'Any.
married woman ?' " To this Mrs. Lisle made no an.
swer. " Did you not think her very free in converse.
don ?"—" I thought she likedCept.Manby's convey.,
sation better than that of her Ladies." It was not unna-
tural, Mr. Whitbread resumed, that in the situation
of her Royal Highness, a situation of retired royalty,
destitute of the trappings and splendour that belong
to it, she should prefer the society of a person capable
of supplying new topics of conversation, to the ordi-
nary tone and discourse of her female associates.--
Let them look at their own wives, and sisters, and
daughters ; observe their conduct, and that of the
most virtuous of the sex, and say whether they would
feel any thing but hatred and contempt for the man
who could, upon such grounds, affix such imputations
on a woman ?—(Hear, hear !) Next came Mr. Hood.
44 Did not the Princess ride out in a whiskey with
Mr. Hood ?"•••gg She did." "Did Mr. Hood drive ?”
4, He did." 4, Were they attended by a man or a boy
servant ?"--64 I do not recollect." So eiltied this
important part of the evidence, and such W•lb the lat.- I
portant disclosures which it produced. V ith respect
to Mr. Chester she was asked, 4, if he was tot a pretty
young man ?" and the answer to this, a simple affir-
mative being calculated to produce an effect, was
carefully preserved in the deposition. " Have you
any recollection of her Royal Highness getting up at
night and leaving her room for a light ?" 1 have."
The next was a pretty question to be put by two
lawyers,' 44 Why did she get up that night i." 14 1
heard her say, that having been indisposed, and her
light being extinguished, ;he went to a *marl's room
to procure another." The public mind was at the
present moment the only shield of her koyal High.
ness, and ought, he could ask, such a deposition to
haie bees sent abroad, when the evidence on which it
was foundid so clearly explained the whole? After
having run the gauntlet through the circle of Sir S.
Smith, captain Manby, Mr. chesierr and 14r 4g9da

...

Captain Moore. was next introduce& 46 Captes.
Moore was present at dinner ?"-4' Yes." " Where
did they go after dinner ?" •-.4 Down stairs." , " Did
sou leave them there together ?" •.. 4 Yes, twice."
dt For what purpose did you leave them ?"—" 'l'a
fetch a book each time."l—" Were you absent long?"
" the first time about twenty minutes."—" And the
second e. "I do not recollect."—" How long did,'
Captain Moore stay ?" "He went away befove the,
.rest of the company." Here the statement that Cap-
rain Moore was twenty minutes alone with the Prin-
cess, was accounted for in a very natural manner.
Mrs. Lisle went out for a book which she could no;
find in less time, nor had she been enjoined not to re.
turn. Thus had such trash bfea so garbled, as ere.
viously to injure her Royal Highneas in the puhlic
mind.—llear, hear.)—Mr. Lawrence followed, hat
be had read enough ; what he had read was free*
,notes,. which he believed, or had been assured, were
authentic, and he asked if they did not take the whole
sting out of the deposition ?—(Hear, hear.) —The
'latter questions,. indeed, if they conveyed any insi-
nuation at all, seemed to cast a reflection on the esti.
hatable and venerable character of Mrs. Lisle herself.
But what then was the case as it had been made outs
and now stood against her Royal Highness? Frances.
Lloyd was proved to be perjured. Mrs. Lisle's testi,
many amounted to nothing; and all that remained;
as as the evidence of Cole and Bidgo ad ; and he wished
that both those witnesses had undergone the examioa-
tion of an Ikon. and Learned Gentleman opposite,
who was peculiarly qualified fee such an office (Mr.
Garrow). He had, now a few observations to make
upon the general aspect of the question. Eleven years.
had the Princess of Wales now been suffering under
this persecution ; for either it was persecution, or jus-
tice had not. been done.—(Hear, hear.)—During Liao
whole of this protracted and afflicting period, her
situation could ticat be better described than in the
words of one of the paragraphs, in the letter wtittea
by Mr. Perceval ; a situation of friends turned ene-
mies—of servants, who seemed traitor; and spies—of
a foul conspiracy of social and domestic treason, and
in which she could look to no security but to that
principle of j
ustice which c-nstaittly actuated his Ma-
jesty. We tad now seen a combinatien of rank, ta-
lent, and character—a combination of all the &sr:au-
thorities, horn the Seate, the Church, and the Law,'
again examining her conduct, and pronouncing an
opinion, while she was still left without a defender,
or any other support, than that native spirit, which
conscious innocence could alone inspire. Much ha 4
been said of the responsibility that attached to the
advisees of her Royal Highness. He would nets
isleink from his share, although he pretended not to
i Know to whom was to be attributed the publication
!of that. Letter, addressed to tl.e Prince, which had
led to all the recent disclosures. With respect to
the paragraph, which the Noble Lord had carted
a canting one, is was to be observed, that the hin-
cess had made previous representations to her Ma. •
jesty on the subject of the delay in the C-nfirme,
'ion of her daughter. No restraint had existed neon
the intercourse between her koyal Highness and
Princess Charlotte until the year 181 t,, when the
' Ring proposed some little alteration, adapted to the,
change in the system of her education. It was last
autumn when the Lord Chaucellor signified to the
Princess of Wales thit further restrictions were about
to be imposed. His Lordship was said to hwe re,
gretted that her Royal Highness had not now her
tomer advisers. He himself, however, who had
been one of those advisers, Was converted into the
stern messenger of rejected requests and arbitrary.
mandates. The letter to which he had alluded was
returned three times unopened, and nut till then pub-
hilted. That publicity had, as he conceived, been
productive of good, because it had brought the sia
oration of her Royal Highness to a crisis. It was it
letter which he should not, had he been the autlmr;
be ashamed to acknowledge, although lie was willing
to avow, that the threatening leiter sent by the ad-
ivice of the late Mr. Peroeval to the King, was Qffe
which he could have never sanctioned. The Noble
L2rd had affected to treat the whole as a matter ot
private arrangement ; but his Royal Htbn%ss had
now responsible advisers, and the question WAS ot the
highest public moment. What followed the publi-
cation of this letter ? Then came the meetings of
the Privy Council, at which the Speiker himself was
present. The letter appzare,l on the 12th cf February
'and on the 1:ltli Mr. Conant examined Lady Dou-
glas. Viras there any clime then in publishing the
letter, even if the Princess had authorised it—was
'that in itself High Treason —was the Princess of
Wales to be beheaded to.:eanie her letter had appear-
ed in a public newsparer ? He understood that pri-
vate examinations were still proceeding—the Noble
Lord disclaimed all knowledge ofelseni—but if such
were the case, he did not see how the Noble Lord
could justify himself in remaining longer in office. If
he could not discover, as he confessed he had not
.been able to discover, legal critninality, the inter-
course ought not to be interrupted. It should be un-
restricted, or interdicted altogether. If the restraint
were only to last till, as the Noble Lord had said,
Princess Charlotte should return to town, why not
expostulate wiiligthe Princess of Araks upt,u her im-
patience, and ppint out the time when it would be
tally gratified. It would not have been difficult, he
believed, to have persuaded her, if the advisers of
the Prince Regent had been so disposed, to submit
to any measure which, while it corresponded with the
dignity of her station, did not outrage the feelings of
nature. He had been extremely delighted with the
result of the late debate, because it seemed to promise
A final termination of those unhappy ditticenees.--
( Nothing, in his opinion, was wanting then but a
mutual disposition io conciliate, to bring about 'hi.
desi: able accomplishment. 11e had then drawn up
the sketch of 4 letter, which lie had submitted to the
consideration of her Royal Highness, as fit to be ad-
dressed to the Pi ince R.:gent, and he hoped he should
