A Public Meeting was held yesterday, at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgateltreet, " to take into consideration the.conduct of his Majesty's Ministers towards Sir ROBERT WILSON, and the propriety of promoting a Subscription, already opened, to in demnify him, and to place that gallant individual above the reach of Ministerial malice and vengeance." At one o'clock the Marquis of TAVISTOCK, the Hon. H. G. BENNETT, M. P. J. G. La NtsroN, Esq. M. P. J. RUNIC, Esq. M. P. Dr. LUSHINUTON, M. P. the , lion. W. POWLETT, M.P. E. ELLICE, Esq• M.P. Mr. FAVELL, Mr. WEATHERSTONE, and Mr. ROWCROFT, appeared in the space allotted to tho-e Gentlemen who meant to take an active part in the proceedings of the day. At this time the body of the room was crowded to excess. Had it been three times as ex tensive, it would still have been crowded ; hundreds having retired from the house who had in vain en deavoured to obtain admission to the immediate scene of action. The Meeting was pet sonally as re spectable, as it was numerically extensive. It was moved by Mr. FAVELL, that Mr. Lambton should be requested - to take the Chair. The - motion was carried by acclamation ; and Mr. LAUBTON immediately proceeded to address the assembly. He said he had felt it to be a most sacred and imperious duty to obey the invitation which had been forwarded to him by the Southwark Committee, to attend the Meeting which was this day held in the city of Lortion; and he could assure those whom he had the honour of addressing, that no circumstances of personal inconvenience should ever weigh with him, when he was called on to lend his aid in supporting the cause of justice, .or in up holding the interests of so enlightened a body as the inhabitants of this great metropolis. Before he en tered more immediately into the business of the day, he wished to account, in a few words, fur the part he had taker. • the Subscription which had been re• cently set . toot. He had taken the course with which ti:_y v..ete all acquainted, not from a wish that his name should not be known to the People of England in a plain and open way ; but because he was a near and intimate friend of Sir Robert Wilson, • he was desirous that the Subscription should origi- I nate with that Gentleman's constituents. While he was most anxious io stand forward to state his senti ments and feelings with respect to the atrocious transaction which occasioned the present Meeting, he was sensible that he had no right to call on the People of England to follow him. He felt that he had no right to assume to himself the honour of moving first on an occasion so interesting and so im portant. Impelled by these feelings, and by these alone, he. acted as he had done; and en this account he felt still more strongly that it was his duty to at tend the Meeting this day, in order to explain to his countrymen the motives that had influenced his con• duct—(App/ause).--He hoped that he should be allowed to say that this was not the cause of an indi vidoal—(Applause).—No: It was not the cause of Sir Robert Wilson, it was an important national cause—(Applause).—For if this precedent were not resisted—if it were allowed that a soldiery should be set on foot to overawe the People—if the• soldiery were to act blindly and implicitly, at the nod and belt of the Crown—then would he say, there was an end, and utter extinction of the liberties of-the Peo ple—(Applause).—lf no other qualification were ne cessary for holding rank in that army, which was once composed, and he hoped was still composed of Gentlemen, but an unlimited obedience to the Mini sters of the Crown—if Officers were to forego their constitutional feelings—then this was no longer the boasted land of liberty and of law—(Applause).— But he trusted that, even amongst the most blind supporters of Government—even amongst the most bigotted and determined Tories, such a doctrine would not be established. He hoped there were amongst them those who would not allow their sons to wear the avowed badge of despotism, to wear that livery which, if the system were suffered to exist, must be considered as a proof that they were in the service of Ministers, rather than of their country — (Applause) —He had been at some pains to discover what the grounds were on which Ministers had acted in this transaction. They had given to the Public no reason for their conduct.—(A Gentkman exclaimed, "They cannot give a reason.")—He (Mr. Lambton) was aware, as had been said by his Honourable Friend in the centre of the room, that they could not adduce any reason; and he pledged his character, knowing as he did every act of Sir Robert Wilson, and, he believed, his every thought, on the day when his conduct gave such mortal offence to Mini sters, that the reports circulated against him were false and unfounded calumnies--(Cheers).--He pledged his honour, that on the eventful day to which he alluded, not only did Sir Robert Wilson act as a man of humanity, anxious to prevent the blood of his fellow-citizens from being shed, but that he conducted himself altogether in a manner every way worthy of the character of that army of which he formed so distinguished an ornament— (Applause).—And he knew Magistrates (he wished he could summon them to come forward) who could state that they were indebted to him for the good order which prevailed on that day—who could declare that it was owing to him that more lives were not lost on that disgraceful day, when two innocent men were murdered in the face of their country—(Cheers).— In the absence of any good grounds for the conduct of Ministers, they might, however, look to the motives which had really actuated them. The fact then was, that Sir R. Wilson had too long been known as a man of independent principles, as one who was of opinion that war ought not to be waged for the pur pose of satisfying the ambition of rulers, but to insole the happiness and prosperity of the People. He had, besides, stood forward as the protector of a woman whom he considered to have been injured, and there fore he became obnoxious to a set of Ministers who, through all posterity, would be held degraded and disgraced, in consequence of their conduct on that memorable occasion —(Cheers). —He begged of the Meeting to remark the regular gradation of the mili tary system—to observe the slow but steady march of those proceedings which threatened the country with a military government. Soldiers were now shut up from their fellow-citizens in inland fortresses ; they were excluded from communication with them, and taught that their rights and liberties were dis tinct from those of the People.. Not only was the system directed against all Constitutional, but, as far as he could judge, against all moral feeling ; for 'the Chairman of the Middlesex Sessions declared, the other day, that one half the culprits tried were sol diers ; and he expressed his astonishment that those who were supported in idleness and profusion, should turn against the Public, by whom they were fostered and protected ( Applause).—W hen the soldiery acted with vigour they were praised ; when they at tacked a defenceless multitude they were thanked, as in the case of the Manchester massacre; but, when ever an Officer of high rank, and higher character, interfered to allay irritation, to prevent the shedding of human blood, he was dismissed, as Sir Robert Wilson had been, who was dismissed in a manner the most cruel, because he was supposed to be in the power, and at the n:ercy of those who inflicted the punishment—(Applause).—Let them produce to him an instance where even the Inquisition of Spain had acted in a way so contrary to the dictates of huma nity—let them produce to him an instance in the history of the most despotic German Prince, in which he had exercised over his slaves the right basely to confiscate their property. And when no instance of the kind could be produced, was it not monstrous that such a course should be pursued by the Minis ters of a Constitutional King? It would indeed have been astonishing if they did not recollect that these very men had employed Oliver, and Edwards, and Castles ; that they had dismissed Earl Fitzwilliam, and had thanked the Manchester Magistrates, with as little cause and as little deliberation as they had manife.aed on the present occasion, for conduct the very reverse of Sir Robert Wilson's—(Loud cheers). He had before asserted, and he would again assert, that this was a-national cause ; and, having so deig : noted it, he conceived it would not be amiss to recoI lect who the person was through whose breast Minis ters attempted to wound the Con titution. Sir R. Wilson had served his country for twenty-nine years, having purchased all his Commissions except the first. • He had served in the North, in the South, in the East, and in the %Vest ; in Europe, in Asia, in Africa ; in Portugal, in Spain, in Flanders, in Holland, in Italy, in Ru_sia. To enumerate the places in which he had served, would be to name every part of Europe. He raised the forsitanian legion, the origin of that force ss hich finally drove the French beyond the Pyrennees. It was so recognized by all the Potentates of Europe; and he had himself seen letters from the Commander in-Chief in Spain, in which it was admitted that this force, composed of native Portuguese. had been the salvation of the Peninsula. Prom the command of that legion he was driven by the meanest and basest jealousy. But he allowed not any feeling of indignation to in terfere with what he conceived to be his duty. lie transfen•ed his services to another part of the world, where he supposed that mean jealousy would not fol low him. They found him always in the advance guard, except in retreat. They found him always dis tinguishedly his humanity as well as his gallantry— they found his services so zealous and so important, that the Emperor of Ifirssia thought it ro disgrace to invest him with a Military Order in the presence of his army. But amidst the prolasion of rewards which he had received, amidst the Orders with which he was decorated, amidst the various stars that sparkled on his breast, there was not one that had been con ferred by the hand of Great Britain !—(Applause.)_ Were they not to look for sonic secret source in which such conduct originated, the more especially when, by the extension of the Order of the Bath, ho nouns and rewards were showered on all sides ? It was explained by the words which the Emperor of Russia used at Frankfort, when he said, " You hive told me the real truth !" And though speaking the truth did not excite the disapprobation of one v. horn they had been in the habit of calling a barbarian, it WUS not, it appeared, fit for Ministers to hear—(.4p plause).—He knew that Sir Robert %Vilson had told the truth too often, in the Senate and in the camp, to be friendly with the present Ministers of this coun try; and now they had selected him as a victim to be immolated at the shrine of their vengeance. He need not speak of Sir Robert Wilson's conduct, of his noble conduct, in his glorious nieliverance of La valette—(Cheering).--Tliat action, he was convinced, now gave as much sa . .i,ltction to the King Of Fa - ance, as at the time it imparted pleasure to the whole world. It was the gallant action of a soldier, as well as of a love of justicer. (App!ause).—All these circumstances pointed out Sir Robert Wilson as a man whom the people ought not to desert. A blow had been struck at him—the hand of poser wa' sili uplifted; but if he knew the reople . of this coun:ri well, they would not suffer one of i.s bravest and noblest sons, as well as one of their most constitutional advocates, to be overwhelmed by the oppressive hand of power ! (Cheers).—He had stated thus much, previously to his calling on some Gentleman to move a series of Resolutions. It was not necessary to enter more at large into the disgraceful occurrences of the day which occasioned the present Meeting.—(An indivi dual, " No, they speak for themselves." This inter ruption occasioned some disapplobation.)—On an oc casion like the present, it was natural that every per son should wish to declare his sentiments; and'he would not object to it, even though it militated against the reg ularity of th e i r p rocee di ngs. H e agreed with the Gentleman who had just mare the remark, that those proceedings did, indeed, speak for themselves; and he hoped a day would speedily arrive, when they would undergo a solemn investi gation in Parliament. Ile, - and otheis, would not fail to speak their sentiments oh the occasion ; and if - they could not obtain justice, of which he certainly despaired, they would at least leave on record the conduct of Ministers, to their eternal ' disgrace— (Cheers).—They would now permit those who meant to move and second the Resolutions to address them; and he hoped the Meeting would be as remarkable for its order, as it appmently was for its respecta bility—(Lond Cheering). • Mr. FA VELL rose to propose the Resolutions: The excellent and cmotitutional address of their Honour able Chairman had rendered his (Mr. Favelri) task a very easy one. He was obliged in candour to ob serve, that it was only two hotlrs since he had been asked to do himself the honour t•f seconding the Re solutions. Ile felt, however, as an old citizen, that this Meeting was worthy of tlie honour and character of the first city in the world—(!Lear). He felt also, as an elec tor of Southwark, much interested in what concerned its Representative. He felt much pleasure at finding this cause in such great and honourable hands as those of the House of Bedford, and those Gentlemen whom he saw present on that occasion. They sup• ported the cause of the People, turd were worthy the People's support. lie had much pride in recollect ing that when their Honourable Chairman, then a very young man, had given promise of mach fervent zeal in support of the Constitution, lie (Mr. Favell) had the honour of cooperating with his father in promoting and supporting the }eople's rights. Their worthy Chairman had so eihatisted the subject, that little was left for him to say. Much as he respected Sir Robert Wilson - , he man s ay, tlmrt this was not so much his cause as the cause of ow People; or in other words, the cause of the if. itish Army—f)r where could they expect to find hotartrable and independent I Officers, where could they look for such high and generous characters as those who performed such feats on dr! Continent, if it was found that they i must become tools 'and sycophants on their retina home?—(Applause.)—Thi s w ould be equivalent to saying to every Officer who held a seat in Parlia- I lieta, " You must vote with and support Ministers, or we will do our_utrno•t to disg i - tce and destroy your —The People ought to he alive to this great question, as nothing was of more importance to their rights and liberties.
