Sir Robert Peel Chancellor Exchequer
In consequence of the absolute refusal
of the Queen to accede to the very dis.
courteous propositions of Sir Robert Peel
hacked by the Duke of Wellington, rela.
tive to her domestic female household
Viscount Melbourne was solicited by hel
Majesty to resume Office, together with bis
coadjutors, which they accordingly did.
The Queens letter to Sir Robert Pee
was as follows;
Buckingham Palace, DIay 10, 1899
"The Queen, having considered the pro
posa made to her yesterday by Sir Robert
Peel. to remove the ladies of her Bed
chamber, cannot consent to adopt a course
which she conceivcs to be contrary tc
usage, and which is repugnant to her feel
ings."
The whole of the proceedings were ex.
plained to the Commons by Sir. Robert
Peel on the night of the 18th. On the
18th Viscount Melbourne replied. In his
speech he says:
II entirely agree in the principles laid
down by her Majesty. | entirely agree
that it is not expedient to apply the prlnci-
pie in the manner for which it was con.
tended ty the Right Hon. Baronet, for
there was no objection to other parts oil
her Malesty's household. (Hear, hear.
We so entirely concur in the opinion oi
her Majesty, for reasons which | need not
now 60 into, and as it does not appear ne.
cessary on the present occasion to argue
the subject; but we so entirely agree with
her Majesty that it is inexpedient 10 apply
The principle, that the ladies of her Maios.
tvs household should be removed, that al
or any part of them should be removed il
consequence of the changes in the Admin
istration-(Hear, hear, that we have
conc to the determination to support hel
Majesty on the present occasion. (lIear
hear.) know very well, my Lords, thai
in coming 10 this determination, and in ar
irving at this conclusion, we may be ex.
posed to all kinds of insinuations. know
that we shall be exposed to the charges O
having intrigued-of having laid down &
Preconcerted plan; of having beforehand
taken care that this objection should be
made, and Of rendering abortive any at,
lem0t to form another Administrations
My Lords, know very we'll that in situa
lions like mine men are exposed TO insinu
ations and to accusations of this kind.
know, my Lords, they will not be made il
this, as they have not been made in the
other House Of Parlament--( Hear )-bu
then they arc made in quarters of consld
cradle weight and influence, and therefore
cannot allow them to pass either unno
ticcd or uncontradicted."
The Duke of Wellington also spoke a
great lcngth-said he had gone on througI
good and evil report in serving his count,
for so years, but that he could not ALLOW
the calumny to be circulated that be hat
ill-treated her Majesty. 1t appears, how
ever, by his speech, thai he fully concurre
with Peel in wishing to interfere with he
Maiesty's female household. The mischie
TO Peel and Wellington was, that this in
reference was believed to have referenc
to every office in her domestic establish
ment down to the most subordinate pei
sonages of her Mujesty's bed-chambe
&c, which caused a general outcry {
shame! shame!
