JET. 35.] AND THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE. 173 



" If you have the least desire to see it, I have a 

 copy, and shall enclose it ; but it is rather long, for it 

 recapitulates all her grievances in relation to her 

 daughter, and also those of her daughter. 



" Such was the avidity, after the abuse of him in 

 Hunt's trial t'other day, that besides about 10,000 

 of the c Examiner ' containing it (which were not to 

 be had at any price an hour after it was published), a 

 cheap edition of the trial was instantly printed, un- 

 known to Hunt, and placarded on the walls before he 

 could even announce that a correct one was coming out. 



" The repeal of the Orders in Council is working its 

 way in America, and you may rely on peace coming 

 about there, either in spite of Maddison and his party 

 or by their being turned out. Yours ever, 



" H. BROUGHAM." 



Lord Grey in his answer took no notice of this offer, 

 and of course the MS. notes were not sent. All there- 

 fore remained in the hands of Whitbread and myself. 



The letter having gone to the Prince, while we were 

 waiting for the answer or other result I wrote to Lord 

 Grey as follows, respecting the two Princesses and my 

 relations with them : 



TO EARL GREY. 



"TEMPLE, Wednesday, February 3, 1813.

 your stay in the north being protracted so long ; other- 

 wise I should have written before, though but to say I 

 had no news worth communicating, except respecting 

 the Princess and her daughter and on that topic I 

 have so much to say that I must wait till we meet.
