TO THE EDITOR OP THE STAR.
10, Bridge-street, October 9, 1821.
SIR—Having received a letter from Mrs. Ssaags,
the soi disante Princess of Cumberland, I send you a
copy, together with one of my own, requesting their
insertion on public grounds. J. w. PARKINS.
45, King-street, Soho, October 8, 1821.
Das Sm—As the friend of the late Duke of Kent, and the
low of justice, I upon you to contradict a report that is in
the world, that I have borrowed large sums of money from
younelf, and that every friendship has existed between us but
d a sozeed, honourable, and dignified nature. Conspiracy upon
conspiracy has been operating, but the independency of your
dispo.ition and the sentiments that you have always evinced
against oppression, lead me to hope that you will, by a letter to
the Public, do jostice to myself, as Cousin to the late lamented
Duke of Kent, and as Princess of Cumberland, obliged to you
for many
kind attentions shewn my late beloved Cousin and my-
self. To your discrimination this will be sufficient, and you
have my permission to say how ill I have been treated. Confi-
dent that nothing but truth and justice will guide your pen in
the affairs of myself or individuals in general.
I am, Sir, your faithful,
To J. W. Parkins, Esq. ALIVE
_ 10, Bridge-street, October 9, 1821.

Msosn—i have this instant received your's of yesterday's date,
from 45, Ring-street, Soho, " calling upon me, as the friend of
his Royal Highness the late Duke of Kent, and as a lover
of justice, to contradict the reports that are in the world, that
yin hale borrowed large sums of money from me, and that
...tr, friendship has existed between us but that of a sacred, ha-
41,1!fierl nature." I can most readily and conscien-
tit mly answer the foregoing questions, viz. that I have not lent
ru say Briley ; and, in the latter instance, any friendship and
ravdderation towards you, originated entirely in the belief of
your being an unfortunate descendant of the Royal Family of this
kingdom, and in proof of which you have shewn me many
slims documents, and as a further persuasion that you were so,
'De late much-respected Duke of Kent in his corresp.irdence
suds lee up to a day or two before his death, as also by docu-
ment, written with a trembling hand, as you state, the hour
before his tlerb, seemed to have gone to eternity under that
Wet; and, in sonic letters from Sitimouth, which I have, in the
Duke's hand-writing, he acknowledges you as his cousin. This
much I .pink prtri.er to publish, as a reason why I have noticed
yes iu my private and public character.
you are perfectly right as to " the botrendency of my dispo-
,Hon and sentiments which I have always evinced against op-
pression;" and I can only say, that I am extremely sorry that
yeti are not the only one, by many hundreds, who have com-
plained to me of conspiracy and it-treatment, which I only lack
puss e,and not inclination, t o redress!
You are also perfectly right when you say, that you are " con-
&lent that nothing but truth and jurice will guide me in the
affairs of yourself or individuals in general." Hoping this will
be a satisfactory voucher to your cr.; ditors and acquaintance,
I remain, Madam, your's most sincerely,
(Signed) J. W. l' tRKINS.

To Mrs. 0. Serres, soi tksanala Princess of Cumberland.

The Public Papers have lately noticed, in various
ways, the pretensions of a Lady who claims the title
and rank of Princess of Cumberland. The following
Bill has been everywhere posted up :
" Olive, Princess of Cumberland, informs the English nation,
that an execution has been levied upon her body for debt, and
that the late King had bequeathed to her the sum of X 15,000,
which has been proved according to law, and application niade
to Lord Sidmouth for the. payment of the same without effect ;
*velure, not having received on: guinea from the Government,
an any of the said large sum so bequeathed to her by his late most
gradous Majesty (her Royal Uncle) George the Third, the Prin-
tasis under the painful necessity of soliciting the honourable and
generous protection of the English nation. " OLIVE.
