! THE QUEENS LETTER TO The KING.
SIR,-Altef the unparalleled and un-
provoked persecution which, during a
series OF years, has been carried 90 against
me under the name and authority OF your
msjesty--and which persecution. instead
Of being Modified by time, time has render
ed only more aud more malignant aud IN
relen,ing--it is not without great sscri-
fee of private feeling that now, even in
the present remonstrance, bring myself 10
address this letter TO your majesty. But,
bearing 10 mind that royalty rests on the
basis OF public good that TO this para
mount consideration all others ought to
submit; and aware Of the consequence
that may result from the present uncon-
stitutional. illegal. and hitherto unheard o.
proceedings: with mind thus impressed
| | cannot refrain from laying my grievo,,s
wrongs once more before your majesty,
IN the hope that the justice which your
majesty may, by evil-minded counseiiers,
be still disposed to refuse the claims Of q
dutiful, faithful aud injured wife, you may
be induced TO yield TO considerations con-
nected with the honor aud dignity Of yonr
crown, the stability Of your throne. the
tranquility Of your dominions, the happi
aess and safety Of your just and loyal
people, whose generous hearts revolt at
oppression and cruelty, and especially
when perpetrated by persersion aud a
Imockery Of the laws.
A sense of what is due TO my character
and sex forbid me TO refer miuutely to the
real causes of our domestic separation, or
TO the numerous unmerited insults offered
me previously to that period but, leaving
Flo your majesty to reconcile with the mar
rage vow the act Of driving, by such
means, a wife from beneath your roof,
with an infant 10 her arms. your majesty
will permit me to remind you, that that
act was entirely your own; that the sep
aration so far from being sought for by
the, was sentence pronounced upon me,
without any cause assigned, other than
that of your own incliuatious, which, as
your majesty was pleased to allege, we're
uot nRder your own control.
Not to have felt, with regard 10 my
self, chagrin at this decision Of your
Majesty, would have argued great insen-
siblity 10 the obligations OF deeoram ;
not to have dropped tear in the face Of
| that beloved child, whose future sorrows
we're then but too easy TO foresee, would
have marked me as unworthy of the name
Of mother but. not to have Submitted to
il without repining, would have indicated
consciousness of demerit, or want OF
those feelings which belong to affronted
and iusuited female honor.
The tranquil and comfortable soci-
ely" rendered 10 me by your Majesty
formed, in my mind, but poor CON-
pensation for the grief occasioned by con-
sidering the wound given TO public NOR
ais in the fatal example produced by the
indulgence of your Msjesty's inciiuations ;
more especially when | contemplate me
disappointment Of the nation, who had so
munifcentIy provided for our union, who
had fondIy cherished such pleasing hopes
OF happiness arising from that union, and
who had hailed it with such affectionate
aud rapturous joy.
| But alas even tranquility and COM
1 fort were too much for me to enjoy
| From the very threshold of Jour Males
tvs mansion the mother Of your child was
pursued by spies, conspiratoFs and trail
tors, employed, encouraged, and reward
ed to Law snares for the feet, and to plot
against the reputation and the life Of her
whom your Majesty had recently aud so
soIemnly vowed to honor, to love. and to
cherish.
In withdrawing. from the embraces Of
my parents, in giving my hand TO the son
of George the Third aud the heir-appar-
