The dismissal of Sir Robert Baker has been very properly followed by that of Sir Robert Wilson, whose removal from the A tiny has been announced in the Gazelle. Their guilt was equal—.their clime similar, and their punishment, as nearly as may be, coeval. The pleasure of his Majesty k announced as hav ing removed Sir Robert Wilson—the king, when assenting to an Act of Parliament, declares, " Le Hai le vent"—" The Kin it,"—when refusing his assent, "Le Rui s'en avisera,"—" The King mill th;nk if it ;" and for the credit of his Majesty and the Government, we wish that the latter had bean his royal answer to the proposal of his Mi nisters to dismiss unheard, untried, and unconvicted, in our opinion, a most mei:unions officer --vrliant in the field, prudent in counsel— whom Ole head and front of the offence is, that h 2 censured aline of conduct that has been subsequently pronounced " Wilful Murtler" by a July of Englishmen. Can it be the wish of Government to render contempti ble the institution of a July, by placing its own acts in opposition to such a decision ? Be this as it may, we are cons ;need that the united efforts of Mr. Cobbett, and ell the radical writers together, could nuc do so much towards rendo iug contemptible the measures of adm istration as these two ill-judged, petty, exhibitions of mean revenge for acts of huma nity—the dismissal of Sir Robert Baker and Sir Robert Wilson.

At two o'clock the Earls of Hatrowby, Westmorland, and Sisftesbory took the seats as his Majesty's Courrissioners for further prorohoing Parliament. The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod was sent to re'uire the attendanee of the t'otr-nons.—S;•ovly after words Mr. RicYman, and some of the officer; of the 'louse, came to the bar.

The following relation is given by the partizans of Ministers, in justification of the dismissal of the above officer : H On the day of the Queen's funeral, at the time the procession was approaching Cumberland-gate, and after the filing by the military at the people had commenced, Sir Robert Wilson rude up to Captain Oakes, then on duty near Cumberland-gate, and remonstrated with him on the conduct of the soldiers under his command, which he said was disgraceful to the regiment, and injurious to the character of the service.' Captain Oakes replied, ' Sir Robert Wilson, I know you perfectly well, but I shall enter into no discussion with you on this point at presets . I shall do my duty, and my men will do theirs.'— Nothing further passed on that occasion. On the follow:ng day Captain Oakes submitted the occur rence to the other eflicers of the regiment, in order ss to obtain their opinion on the course which it bscame as a man of honour, to pursue on the subject. —He was wiling to regard the affair as one of a personal nature, solely affecting himself, and only required their sanction to take immediately the pro per measures to obtain reparation. The other officers of the regiment, however, refused to avow a trans action which they considered to imply a general reflection on the regiment to be adjusted on the tel of a private difference, and would not consent that Capt. Oakes should take the affair upon himself in the manner proposed. A statement of what oc curred at Cumberland-gate between Sir It and Capt. Oakes was in consequence (bawls up, and transmitted to the Duke of York. His Ituy,d Highness, on receiving it, caused a private inquiry into the correctness of the facts to be instituted, and liming found them established to his satisfici,el, he refetecsi the whole affair to the King, who in consequence caused his royal pleasure to be declared, that Si - Robert Wilson should be dismissed the service." We see nothing to justify so harsh a measure it the above were not —we fearlessly, however, assert that the folloaiog i s a far truer statement of what really oecut " The 11th of Augast was indeed a day fertile in t'pica of snmes'"lg MIN ''tan regret ; since on account of the same anvlety for rse preservation of htrnan 1"e, croled forth from two honest liesi.s by it.: outrag e oes proceedings. the country has Sr. co aeti the double loss of a benevolent mag;strate, and a i; ., lant raid 160 1 cr.

Many Gentlemen among the Grand Jul/ must k sow that ti•is was irregular The Judges upon the Circuit were bound to deliver the gaols of evety prisoner; and a Learned Judge lately presiding in another county, had found it his duty to discharge a number who had been similarly committed. If the prosecutors did not attend before the Court closed, the present six ptisuners would be i; berated.
