SAXONS !
The Prussians have seized up
on your territory. 1 step for
ward for its deliverance. J hey
have forcibly broke the ties
which united your troops, and
attached them to your at my.
You have to sited your blood ior
interests which are not only alien
hut hostile to you. My armies
were on the point of leaving Ger
many, when your territory was
violated ; they shall return to
Prance as soon as Prussia ac
knowledges your independence,
and renounces the designs which
she formed against yon.
Saxons ! Your Prince had, un
til this moment, declined to fo;m
alliances which ate so repugnant
to Ins duties ; it he has since con
sented to them, it has only been
f t c ibly occasioned by the inva
sion of the Prussians.
I was deaf to the repeated pro
vocations which Prussia gave to
my people , I was deal to them
as long as she confined Iter arma

victories of Prussia will lay ever
lasting letters on you. To-mor

Have they not already demand

for a long time past endeavoured
to force your Prince to acknow

Your independence, your con

DELICATE
From the Royal Cornwall Gazette.
Though the London prints
| still continue silent on the snb
i ject of the ‘ Delicate Inquiry,’ k
to our astonishment offer not (Hie
word in support cf the cause of
an it jure cl Princess, the freedom
of the pres* is not entirely over
aw'd by die fear of rpenkirg
truth on this <1 elicate and impor
tant affair. A pamphlet h*s last
week made its appearance, un
der the title of “ An admonitory
Tetter loins Boy a l Highness the
Prince of Wales.” ‘1 he anecdotes
which it brings to light ate tun Sc
important, but being asserted by
an anonymous author, they are
not stamped with that value and
authority that could lie wished.
Some singular disclosures, how
ever, a re.made, sufficient to di
rect the public eye to the quaiter
from which the report fust ori
ginated; its chief excellence,
therefore, will be found in the ad
vice and remarks it offers to the
prince, which are certainly dic
tated bv the pen of a sensible,
dispassionate, and well-informed
writer. Should they ever meet
his Royal Highness’ perusal,
the)’ must, we think, tear the ban
dage from bis eyes, and shew
him with what a train of syco
phant ar.d parasites be is sur
toundccl. Os the innocence of
the princess we believe none en
tertain a doubt; that there must
have been some very strong alle
gations produced, ere such an
enquiry was instituted, everyone
believes;—And now that she
stands acquitted, nay more, that
she was falsely accused, why
not proclaim her innocence in
terms as loud as her accusation
has been:—bltall we tell the rea
sons? and we are happy to find
that this author confirms us in
them. There is a parly whose
rank precludes the possibility of
legal prosecution, and whose
name ts held too sacred for pub
lic animadversion,” a doctrine
certainly till now unknown in the
British constitution, .ihe con-
elusion of thispamplet is so much
in unison with our own feelings,
anx we believe those of the coun
try at large, that we cannot resist
the opportunity of quoting the
following animated apostrophe,
addressed 10 his lloyal fiigli
ness.
‘‘Oh! think in these eventful
times, what perils await the mo
narch who rules not in his peo
ple’s hearts, what horrors his
country has cause to dread from
internal disorder and conflicting
[tatties; then will you shudder at
the paths which lead to such dis
astrous consequences, and, ifone
spark of patriotic virtue glimmer
in your breast, avoid their courses
forever.
*■* Let your first step be to de
mand an exposition of ali the facts
relating to the delicate enquiry
on which i have before dwelt,
insist on the guilty being punish
ed, to the world; pay no re
gard to personages, and though
yout dearest ft tends be implicat
ed, sacrifice them to public dutv;
thus shall you silence the tongues
of your own accusers, and com
pel them to acknowledge you
have acted as becomes the digni
ty of a Prince, and the feelings
ot a man.
“ Alas! I can advance no stron
ger arguments to urge your Rov.
al Highness to act tnus, no peV
suasions more truly calculated to
make an impression on a feeling
heart, than those contained in a
letter you recently received from
your illustrious, much injured
Princess.*’
* 4 Unhappy stranger! like a
tender exoiic, transplanted from

tection in this genial country

absolutely necessary to discharge
from vour service all those oe
pendent wretches who have in
any wry countenanced or abetted
the in-fa-roou-s conspiracy against
the purity of an illustrious consort,
to whom \ou shofild hencefor

which is due to her virtues as an
individual, and her rank a? Prin

and whose moral and religious
principles the nation regards with

The Morning Chronicle savs,
“ We are happy to announce that
the much wished for report, has
b( en at length delive v ed to the
much injured, illustrious lady,
whose situation has excited the
interest and engaged the sympa
thy of every honest bosom in the
British empire. We understand
she report hears date the 14th
Julv, though it was delivered to
the illusttious lady only on : the
11th of August. It contains a
general and absolute acquittal
from every thing criminal; but
it is said, at the same time, to
notice some tiifling levities.—
The whole of the proceedings
have been grounded upon the de
position of a certain gentleman
and his lady, and of some menial
servants who formerly belonged
to Carleton-Kouse. The evi
dence, or at least the material
part ol if, is adjoined to the re
port, and the whole is expected
to be given to the public.” We
have only farther to notice a cir
cumstance in the manner of deli
vering the report to the Princess,
which though but a point of eti
quette, will yet he regarded as
not unwot thy of remark.
The report, we are informed,
was conveyed to the Prince by’
one of the Lord ChancJlor’3
footmen. It will probably turn
out that his Lotdship in person
presented it to the Prince, t
Brighton on the following day.
The public will,weare sure,think
with us, that this distinction was
not respectful, nay more, that it
was not decent* The lord Chan
cellor himself ought, in proprie
ty, to have waited on the Prin
cess, and in doing so, he certain
ly would not have derogated from
his dignity.
* Some little time past this a
rniable Princess wrote two let
ters, one to the K g, and ano
ther to her august husband; in both
she entreated, nav demanded,
that the proceedings of the Com
missioners should he published; 1
and in the latter she ingenuously
told his Royal Highness that al
though she believed him inno
cent, nothing would so strongly
confirm her in that opinion as his
exerting his influence to have
her wishes on this head complied
with.
