The-Debate of last night in the House of CAIIIIIIOII,II
ins rather 6f:en interesting nature. It will be re-
collected that Mi...':CREEVEY lately stated, that the

and shown to the world that her Roy al MO" 13'8
conduct was beyond suspicion. Jtdic-t demanded
this, the more so, a, Mr. PeaceyAi, explicitly de-
cla.% i last night in the House of Common*,
that no.
thing was ever known 64 from which it was possibt.
to bringl charge again,t the Princess of WALxs."—
We are aware that this subject is of too delicate a
nature for us to expatiate upon. We cannot, however,
forbear asking the question, Why this Princess hc, been
so cruelly and shamefully treated ? That nothing,
ever appeared to criminate her, notwithstanding the
clOsest investigation by men highly qualified (Or the
discharge of a task so important, is now officially
reiterated by the confidential Minister of the Prince.
Where, then, we repeat the question, are we to look
for the cause of all the vile and abominaule calumny,
with which the name of this unfortunate Princess has
been loaded ? Either Mr. Pincr., • - • - in
