" London, DZ1y 17th, 1872
Z" IF you should have received my letters,
of December and January last, you will find
that all predicted, with regard to the
prince regent on his investment with the
sovereign authority, has been verified. This
wretch, whose physical powers and moral
principles were debauched Ill early life, has
become lump of almost inanimate depra
witty he is without any mind of his own
what littie animal passion remains within
nan, is OF the lowest characteristics asso-
ciates are w-es, tock-jobbers and bui-
lies and they are old and we'll trained to
iniquity. Had the conduct of this man, thro'
life, been like that of other princes, either
silently or openly shelving q disregard for
the peoples rights, he would be more ex-
cusable; but the total abandonment of all the
unsought for promises and professions of at
| tachment To wing principles, &c. sc. which
he made during the last thirty years, adds
to the corruption of the heart, baseness
of hypocrisy unequalled in the history of
, princes. This man had the impudehce to
| invite his former friends, who we're attach
| ed TO him by his insdiouS professions 10
! Join with him in his apostaCy-but 70 the no.
| nor of Bnglishmen and Irishmen, be II spo-
| ken, not man holding the slightest preten-
! sions to honor accepted it. Obeying the ma
, tural Impulse of the moment, even the We
/ ry worst Of them revoted with horror at
| the monStrous proposition, and he was fore
, ed to recline IN the embraces of kindred
! souls" Men, hackneyed in the basest cor
/ ruption-Perceva Liverpool, Rose, Cas-
! tlereagh, Abbot, and Others, who, 7OhiSt The
| Prince gvOre the SembEa5Icc If UDtuc, hated
and opposed him, have become his bosom
I friends and supporters-and that they might
| manage the affairs OF the nation without ms
interference, they put him in the hands of
| the well known Courtezan, the marchioness
Of Hartford, sinner OF nearly 90 years of
Z age, whose prostitution with the prince is
SO little a matter of secrecy, that, however
( incredible it may appear on your side OF the
! water, it is a positive fact, that the husband
| Of this woman and her son, lord Yarmouth
: q man of infamous ChdraCter,) are IN the
| frequent habit OF ushcring their master tothe
I door OF the chamber OF prostitution-and
| the best of 1t Is, the parties think them
| selves secure from suspicion, BY pretend
/ ing, that their Connection and private CON
| ferenCes are of q religious nature. The
! prince, who is drunk every day by four o.
| clock, and the warehouses Of Hereford, who
! has been a notorious prostitute for the last
| forty years, have become all at once rehgi-
| ONg ard they take their religious cCeTctSfS
| together, but no one can tell who is their
chaplain You, OF course, do not see these
things in the newspapers, because they dare
not print them; but the facts are notori-
| Gus, and talked OF in all societies here
without ceremony or reserve, rs Mr.. r..
can tel you. This, however, IS bat small
part OF the debauchcrics going on here a
mong the royal family. 1t would shock the
American ear to hear one-twentieth.p part of
| them.---You probably know, that some
time ago Mrs Clark wrote a book, for the
suppression Of which she got 20,OOOl This
! book has been read ; it gives pretty little
| history OF the whole of the royal family i'm
which is related a number of anecdotes of
| The intiigues and prostitutions of the aniiabie
| Prlncesses OF the blood, who were the other
| day vO.ed an immense sum of money by
| Parliament. These anecdotes were extract
| ed from the Duke Of York, whilst Mrs.
| Clark was his :" duriiRg," and this artful
woman played her cards so adroilly, as to
! get into her possession written documents,
which iucohtrovertibly prove the facts
