The powers with which the Constitute

C unquestionabie. My appeal, SIR, is made
to vour excellent sense & liberality Of mind

mine, Tor impcliinE me to represent The
unhappy consequences which the present
system must entai. upon our beloved Child.
lis 1T possible, Sir, that anv one can
have attempted to persuade your Royal
h,ghness, that her character Will not BIZ
injured by the perpetual violence afforded
! to her strongest ahections-the studied care
taken TO estrange her from my society, &
even to interrupt all communicated be-

whom, by his Majesty's wisa, ard gracious
arrangement, she passed the wears of he,
infancy and childhood, never can be extin-
giushed, we'll know and the knowledge
OF 1t forms the greatest BILE ssings of nv ex-
istence. But let me implore your Royal
Hlghness to reflect, how inevitably all at
tempts to abate this attach ment, by forcibly
separating us. it thay succeed, must injure
wy Nhhc tUSY ldli, must
destroy her happiness.
" The plan OF excluding nv Daughter
from all intercourse with the world, APP
pears to my humble judgment peculiarly
unfortunate. She who is destined to be
the Sovereign of this great country, Ell Joys
none OF those advantages of society which
are deemed necessary for Importing a
knowledge ofmaniind to persons who have
infinitely less occasion to learn that impor-
tant lesson and it may so happen. BY =
chance which trust is very remote, that she
should be called npon TO exercise the pow
ers of the crown, with an experience of the
world more confined than that of the most
private individual. To the extraordinary
talents with which she is blessed, and
which accompany disposition as singular
y amiabe, frank, and decided, willingly
trust much--but beyond a certain point the
greatest natural endowments cannot strug-

stances and situation. 1t is my earnest
prayer. for her own sake, as we'll as her
country's, that your Royal Highness may be
induced to pause before this point be reach

"Those who have advised you to delay
so long the period of my daughters com

she must make, unles she is to be secluded

Hishness and the rest of tn e Royal Family.
o the same unfortunate counSels, | ascribe
circumstance in every way so distre ssing,
both to my parental and religious feelings
that my daughter has never vet enjoyed
the benefit Of confirmation, although above
a year elder than the age at which all the
other branches of the Royal Family have
partaken OF that solemnity. May earnestly
conJure you, sir, to hear my entreatiSs upon
this serious matter, even if you should listen
10 other advisers on things of less near con

The pain with which / have at lenptli
formed the resolution of addressing myself
to your Royal Highness. is such as | should
in vain attempt to express. If could ade.
quately describe it, you might be enabled.
Sir, to estimate the strength of the motives
which have made me submit to it tbey
are the most powerful feelings of affection
and the deepest impression of duty toward.
your Royal Highuess. my beloved child, x
the country, which l devoutly hore she
may be preserved to govern, and to shew
by new example, the liberal affection of
a free and generous people to yrtuous *
