Character, Life, And Times Of His Late Royal. Highness , By The Public Press.
As a specimen of the general expression of his constitutional sentiments , we extract the following from the public papers , delivered by his Royal Highness in September , 1836 , in reply to an address presented to him on the recovery of his sight , by the Mayor and Commonality of the Borough of Denbigh , who were introduced to him at Kinmel Park , the seat of his friend the Lord Dinorben : —
" Mr . Mayor , Aldermen , and Counsellors of the Borough of Denbigh , " I thank you for your sincere congratulations upon that restoration to sight , which , under the blessing of Divine Providence , has been granted to me . "I feel this attention the more-strongly , as you have taken the earliest opportunity afforded you , by my revisiting my noble friend
Lord Dinorben , to reiterate to me the assurance of your loyalty to our most gracious Sovereign , as likewise of your attachment to the other members of the House of Brunswick , among whose number I have the honor to reckon myself . " Taught , as I bave ever been , to respect those principles which placed my family upon the throne of these realmsand equally aware of
, the importance of the compact which united us and the people with the constitution of this country , I have hailed the recent changes , and reforms , which have taken place in yours , and other ancient boroughs , as a regeneration of public rights , which had been inadvertently long lost sight of , or had been partially obliterated from your charters , by the lapse of time , and other incidental circumstances .
" If such alterations and improvements be cautiously , gradually , and honestly made , they cannot fail to produce the happiest effects ; since the benefits derived therefrom must tend to promote a better feeling between all classes of the community , by establishing a closer union of interests . " Thus the rights of each individual member will be more clearly
defined ; and by being better understood , they will be the more cheerfully respected , the more watchfully guarded , and the more zealously defended . " Under this impression , and convinced that I am maintaining and promoting the best interests of my country , which are founded on the grand and generous principles of civil and religious liberty , I shall ever
make it my study , as I consider it my duty , to support and forward all such measures and improvements , as are suggested by the daily advancing intellect , ancl increasing prosperity of the country ; bearing always in mind that great desideratum and security of our liberties , an equal distribution of justice amongst all his Majesty ' s loyal subjects my fellow-countrymen . "
