selves t bcr eye. Look rmund the world, and to the
coniluet..of Ladies of the most unimpeached charac-
ter,, and say, it they were subjected to .the same se,
yea torn of mind. whether there mit*. not be ad.
clueed instances of gaiety and /mink* iilayfulness,
which might be misinterpretectinto leirity t This was
use part “t the case that hung the heaviest on the
Princess's min.,.
For as to Bidgood's evidence, his saying that he
saw Captain Matiby salute the Princess in the "refiec-
lion of a glass, this was totally destroyed by the oath
of Captain Mariby that there was no glasi in the
room. As to the charge of driving out with a luncheon
io Longregch only with the coachman and helPer—
%chy did not the Commissioners examine the coach-
an and helper? They might have told the destina-
tion of the drives, and the object of them. The
davit of S. Gilpin Mills, annexed, would shew the
insidious pains that were taken to discover something
ppoii Which to found a charge: ' The. truth was, that
upon two occasions of her driving to Belsidere, ac-
CoMpanied by Mrs. ritagerald, Captain Manby was
of the party ;.and they did take some refreshment at
Lord Eardley's ; and it was equally true, that she
• walked with him at Ingress ; that she was on board
the Africaine ; but she never went with him into any
room, or into any house either at Belvidere or else-
where.

At Southend there are more circumstances—aed
she enumerates the points of the evidence. The three
houses, Nos. 7,8, 9—Captain Manby sleeping often
hi the house—sseen next morning at ten o'clock—
putting the candles out—not waiting—water jug,
bason, and towels, &c. the Princess could not recol-
lect accurately. She remembers there was a dispute
among the servants as to the perquisite of candles.
Her's were to belong to her maid—and she told Bid=
good to leave them—but as to the water jugs, bason,
and towels, she could not treat with gravity. What !
have these things in an open passage, where all her
people were passing, to announce to them all that he
was there; and thus to promulgate a secret which
was no less than high treason, and which was td cost
her her life ! The Commissioners could not, surely,
believe any story so gross. Mrs. Sander and Mary
Wilson both justified her from this slander.
Frances Lloyd said she wa, aroused out of bed, to
make breakfast for Captain Islanby, at six o'clock.—
This might here happened ; beause it was twice
agreed that they should go out upon water-parties,
one of which only took place : and she remembers to
have walked down the lawn early on one of the mor
nings fixed for such an excursion ; and might, at
such time, have been seen by F. Lloyd. It will
hardly be credible, that Earl Moira sent for Mr.
Vlil.s the day a:ter Fanny Lloyd's declaration ; but
it will be seen by his and. Mr. Edm,'srdes' deposition,
what pains were taker? to tamper with witnesses.
The next person was Mr. Hood, now Lord Hood,
who married Miss Hammond, one of the Ladies in
the Princess's household. It is perfectly true, she
rode out wits him twice in his whiskey without having
her own servants. This was immediately after the
death of the Duke of Gloucester, and while he lay
• ir.l dried. She went out in the whiskey for air ;-e-but
vished not to be seen with a retinue of servants, while
hs Royal Highness lay unburied.
The next persons imputed to her were Mr. Chester
find Captain Moore. By Mts. Lisle's evidence, it is
said, that Mr. John Chester was invited by her spe-
cial order. Now, instead of thus, he WAS only one of
several invited. She begged of Lady Sheffield that
eves y thing of the name of North; all the Legges, all
the Ciresters, and Mr. Elliott, should be invited. All
about the candle, and being found in the gallery,
would have been explained, if Lady Sheffield bad
been examined. It is most likely that she might have
walked with Mr. John Chester; but what was there
in all this that she ought to be called on to answer ?
As to Captain Moore, Mrs. Lisle had borrowed a
book nom him. Her mother, the Duchess of Bruns-
kick, was fond of the late Dr. Moore's writings, and
the Captain lent them a MS. of his late father, in re-
turn for which she made him a trifling present.
As to the anonymous papers marked A. B. C. she
solemnly denied all knowledge of them. They were
submitted to Mrs. Fitzgerald, together with the seal—
she denied that they were the hand-writing of the
Ptincess, or that the seal was her's 1 and yet this snap
not contained in her examination.
The Princess concludes her defence with some few
euservations on the Report of the Commissioners.
There were great omissions in it. She wai desirous
that it should be opened up again; but she deprecated
secret tribunals. Against talse charges of friends,
turned enemi.a--cf servants, who seemed traitors and
spies, and the foul conspiracy of social and domestic
treas,:n, she could look *to no security for her honour,
but to the principle of justice which actuated the
conduct of his Majesty. For a Princess of Wales
to have been placed in a situation, in which it
eras essential to her honour to request a Gentleman
to swear that he was not locked up in a room with
her alone ; and another, that he did not give her a
lascivious salute, and never slept in her house, is to
have been actually degraded and disgraced! ~ I have
" been, Sire, (said the Princess) placed in this situa-
" dial. Could I forbear to announce a conspiracy
" against my hoteaur and station in the country ? At
" all events, I trust you will restore me to the bless-
ing of your gracious presence, and confirm to me,
by your gracious words, your satisfactory convic-
" teen of my innocence. 44 CAILOLINE.

DEPOSITION OF THOMAS MANGY, ESQ. A CAPTAIN IN
THE ROYAL NAVY.

Having had read to me the following passage from
copy of a deposition of Robert l3igwood, sworn
6ch day of July last, before Lords Spencer and
Grenville, viz.

" I was waiting one day in the anti-rcom, Capt.
" Manby had his hat in his hand, and appeared to be
" going away ; he was a long time with this Prin-
" cess, and as I stood on the steps waiting, I looked
" into the room in which they were, and in the le-
" flection of the looking•glass, I saw them salute
'• each aher—l mean that they kissed each other's
" lips. Captain Manby then went away. I then
" observed the Princess have her handkerchief in her
