Wilson act as a ama at humanity, anxious to prevent the Wood of his fallow-citizens from being shed, but that he eositteted himself altogether in a manner every way worthy of the ohstaeter of that army of which he formed so distin guished an ornament.—(Applause.)—And he knew ma &istrates (he wished be could summon them to coma for ward) who could state that they were indebted whim ter the good order which p reva il e d on t h at d ay — w h o ma id decbtu that it wu owing to him that more lives were not lost on that disgraceful day, when two innocent men weemusurdered in the face of their country.—(Cheers.) —lin the obsess@ of any gumi-gremnds for the conduct of minister s , th e y might, however, look to the motives which had really actuated them. The fact, thee, was Rir R. Wilson bad too long been known as a man of in. 'dependent principles, as one who was of *piston that war ought not to he waged for the purpose of satisfying *sr ambition of niers, kit ro insure the happiness and prosperity of the people. He had, besides, stood for- - t turd as the of a woman whom be considered to have been niured, and theipfore be became obnoxious itia a set of min is t ers w h o , tiang . h all posterity, would ' be held degraded and disgraced, In consequence of their conduct en that memorable occasion.—(('heers.)—He begged of the meeting to remark the regular gradation of the military system—to observe the blow but steady march of those proceedings which threatened the coon 4e. y with a milita r y government . S o ldi ers were now +ut up from their fellow-citizens in inland fortresses ; they were excluded from communication with them, and nght that their rights and liberties were distinct from those of the people. Not only was the system directed against all constitutional, bat as far as Ike could judge "-aunt all moral, feeling; for the Chairman of the Mid dlesex Sessions declared, the other day, that one half the culprits tried* *ere soldiers; and ie expressed his astonishment, that those who were supported in idle , ness and profusion should turn against that public by whom they were fostered and protected.—(Applause.)— When the soldiery aced with vigour, they were praised ; when they attacked a defenceless multitude, they were thanked, as in the case of the Manchester massacre; whenever an officer of high rank, and higher character, interfered to allay irritation, to prevent the s!iedkling of human blood, he was dismissed, as Sir Robert Wilson hail been, who was dismissed in a manner the most cruel, because he was supposed to be in the power, and at the mercy of those who inflicted the punishment. Let -them produce to him an instance where even the Inqui sition of Spain had acted in a way so contrary to the dictates of humanity—let them produce to him an in stance in the history of the most despotic Berman Prince in which he had exercised over his slaves the right basely to confiscate their property. And when no in stance of the kind could be produced, was it not mon strous that ands a course should be pursued by the mi nisters of a constitutional King ? It would indeed have been astonishing if they did not recollect, that these very men had employed Oliver. and li4lw4rdtt, Kea Cas tles ; that they bad dismissed Earl ritzwillians, and hail thanked the Manchester 3lagisteates, with as little cause and as little deliberation •as they hail the very reverse of - Sir Robert Wilsou's.—(Cheer log )—He bad before asserted, and be would again assert, that this was a national causerand having so de signaled it, he conceived it would not be amiss to recolles t who the person was through whose breast Ministers attempted to wound the Constitution. Sir Robert Wil son had served his country for 29 year% having pur chased all his commissions except the first. He bad served in the North, in the South, in the East, and in the West; in Europe, in Asia, in Africa • in Portugal, in Spain, in Flanders, in Holland, in It aly, in Russia. To enumerate the places in which he had served, would be to name every part of Europe. He raised the Lusa tanian legion, the origin of that force which filially drove the French beyond the Pyrenees. It was so recog nised by all the Potentates of Prurope; and he had him self seen letters from the Commander-in-Chief in Spain, in which it was admitted that this force, composed of native Poriugnese, bad been the salvation of the Penin sula. From the command of that legion he tars driven by the meanest and basest jealouse.—(.lpplatise )—But he allowed not v of Ilidignation to interfere with what be no be his duty. He transferred his services to another part of the world, where he sup posesi that mean jealousy would not follow him. They found him always in she advanced guard, except in re treat. They found him all_ays distinguished by his hu manity as ivell as lits galikolry—thev lound Lis services so zealous and important, that the Emperor of Russia, thought it no disgrace to invest him wills a military' order in the presence of his army. But amidst the pro fusions of rewards which he bad received, amidst the orders with which he was decorated, amidst the various stars that sparkled on his brew, there was not one that had been conferred . by the hand of Great Britain.—(Ap plause.)—Werelbey not to look for some secret source in which such conduct originated, the more especially when, by the extension of the Order of the Bath, ho pours 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 have told me the real truth:" And though speaking the truth slid not excitetbe disapprobation of one whom they had been in the habit oflealling a barbarian, it was not, it appeared, fit for etiolates% to bear.—(Appliuse.)—lle knew that, Sir Robert Wilson bad told the truth too often, in the senate and lathe camp, to be friendly with the present ministers of this country; and now they had selected him as a victim to be immolated at the shrine of their vengeance. He need not speak of Sir R. Nilson'; con duct. of his noble conduct, in his glorious deliverance of Lavalette.—(Cheering.)--That action, he was con vinced, now gave as much satisfaction to the King of France, as at the time it imparted pleasure to the whole world. It was the gallant action of a soldier, as well as of a lover of justice.—(Applause.)—All these circum itances pointed out Sir Robt. Wilson as a man whom the people ought not to desert. A blow had been struck at him—the hand of power was still uplifted ; but if he ,knew the people of this country well, they would not stiffer one of its bravest and noblest sons, as well as one of 'their most constitutional advocates, to be overwhelm ed by theoppressive Land of power.—(Cheers.)—lle had stated t us 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 oc currences of the day which occasioned the present meet ing. (An individual “ No, they speak for themselves." This interruption occasioned some disapprobation.) On an occasion like the present, it was natural that every person should wish to declare his sentiments; and lie would net object to it, eves though it militated against the regularity of their proceedings. He agreed with the gentleman who had just made the remark, that those proceedings did, indeed, speak for themselves; and he hoped a day would speedily arrive, whim they would un dergo &softies invosigatiosi in Parliaowat. He, and others, wisild *et fail to speahtheir sentiments en the oecasirn; and if they could not obtain justice, of B usch .Le certainly despai44, they would at least leave on re- Pam Swim Prwcz. cord the conduct of ministers, to their eternal disgrace. —(Cheers.)—Thev would now permit those who meant to move and secona the resolutions to address them; and be hoped the meeting would be as remarkable for it, order, as it apparently was for its re spectability.— Omen ng.) Mr. Fatah. rose to propose the Resolutions. The excellent and constitutional address of the Honour able Chairman had rendered his (Mr. Farell's) task a very easy one. lie was obliged in candour to observe, that it was oily two hours since be hid been asked to do himself the honour of seconding the Resolutions. He felt, however, its an old citizen, that this Meeting was worthy of the honour and character of the first city in the world—(Hear, hear.) He felt also, as an elector of Southwark, much interested in what con termed its Representative. He felt much pleasure at finding this cause in such great and honourable heads so those of the house of Bedford, and those gentlemen whom he saw presentan tbisoccasion. They supported the cause of the people, and were worthy of the peo ple's support. He had much pride in recollecting that when their Honourable Chairman, then a very young man, had given promise of such zeal, and in support of the constitution, he (Mr. Farell) bad the honour of co-operating with his father, in promoting and supporting the people's rights. Their worthy Chairman had so exhacs ed the subject, that little was left for bias to say. Much as he respected Sir Robert Wilson, he must say that this was not so much his cause as the cause of the people; or, in other cords, the cause of the Rri:ish army; for where could they ;expect to find honourable and independent officers. where could they !mak fur such high and generous characters as those who performed such feats on t!:e Continent, if it was found that they must beeline t!‘e tools and sycophants on their return home:—(Ap plause.) This would be equivalent to saying to every officer who held a seat in Parliament, .‘ You mast rote with, anal support Ministers, or we will do our utmost to disgra e end destrdy you." The people ought to a lye to this great question, as nothing was of more importance to their rights and liberties, Should it go forth to the sovereigns of Eateye that the m.n whom they hail honoured and rewards:ll,llA been de graded by Goverom oat, and di serted by the people of this conutry ? No; if it did, they would no longer call us Great Britain, but Little. Itri:ain We should no longer he considered as the tnagnani mous descendants of those hermit who obtained Magna Charts, and oho brought about the glorious revolu tion of I ikza.--(if ear , w. old not now en ter more largely into this subject, as their H. no ;ea 1.

Ibe sad results of the proceedings on the 14th of Augnst were owing to some petty advice given to prevent the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of Lan 'on from paying those last honours wh'c't tire conce'ved due to the remains of an injured Q seer. He ed a t say more on this subject, as the Meeting wuuld be ad dressed by the Honourable Gentleman who ought to have moved them, which honour wasconferred on bins as an old citizen.

They bad looked to civilians and to the army. and they found him to be one whom they must adus.r as a distinguished leader, renowned for talent and character and covered with honour', anal whom they knew to possess the principles and the heart of au Boglishman.—(Loud applause.)—..e (Mn.

A public meetiug was held yesterday at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, •• to take iutc con sideration the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers to-, wards Sir Robert Wilson, and the propriety of promoting a subscription, already opened, to indemnify him, and so place that gallant individual above the reach of Minis &dal- malice and vengeance." At one o'clock the Marquess of Taviatock, the lien. H. G. Bennett, M. P. ; J. O. Lantltton. Esq. M. J Mute, „ . F.Aq._k_P.iar .l. l.nshin_ P • ►e :Mr. A. Roberts, M. P.; General Long, Mr: Monek, (Reading), Air. 51artinean, Mr. Pavel!, Mr. Weatherstone, and Mr. Itowcroft, appeared in the spaces allotted to those Gentlemen, wbo 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 extensive, it would still havebeen, crowded; hundreds having retired from the house who had in vain endeavoured to obtain admission to the im mediate scene of action. The meeting was personally as respectable, as it was numerically extensive. Mr. FAVELL.—I beg leave to move that Mr. Lambton be requested to take the chair. The motion was carried by acclamation; and Mr. LAMISTON immediately proceeded to address the assembly. He said he had felt it to be a most sacred and imperious duty to obey the invitation forteertled to him by the Southwirk Conlinhtee, to attend the meeting Which was this day held in the City of London; and he could assure those whom he bail time honour of address ing, that no circumstances of personal inconvenience should ever weigh wills him, when he was called on to lend his aid in supporting the cause of justice, or in upholding the interests of so enlightened a body as the inhabitants of this great metropolis. Before he entered more immediately into the business of the day, he wished to account, in a few words, for the part he had taken in the subscription recently set on foot. lie had taken the course with which they were all acquainted, not from a wish that his name AOO4l 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 Wilsen, he was desirous that the subscription should originate with that' gentleman's constituents. While he was most anxious to stand' forward to state his sentiments and feelings with respect to the atrocious transaction which occa sioned the present meeting, be was sensible that he bad no right to call on the people of England to follow him. He felt that he bad no right to sesame to himself the honour of moving first OD an occasion so important and so interesting. Impelled by these feelings, and by these alone, he acted as be hod dohs; and on this ac count be felt more strongly that it was his duty to attend the meeting this day, in order to explain to his countrymen the motives that had influenced his conduct. —(Applanse.)—He hoped that be should be allowed to say that this was not the cause of an indieidual.—(Ap planse.)—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 we set on foot to overawe the people —if the soldiery were to act blindly and implicitly, et the nod and beck of the Crown—then would he say, lbws was an end, an utter extinction of the liberties of the pw• ple. If no other qualification were necessary for bolding rank in that army, which was once composed, and be hoped was still composed, of gentlemen, but an unlimit ed obedience to the Ministers of the Crown—Volker' were to forego their constitutional feelings—then this was no longer the boasted land of liberty and of law.— (Applause.)--But be trusted that, even amongst the most bigotted and determined Tories, such a doctrine would not be established. He hoped there were amongst them those wbo would not allow their sons to weir the avowed badge of despotism—to wear that livery which, if lb. system were suffered to exist, must be considered as a proof that they were in the service of Insisters ra ther than of their country.--{Applause.)—lle bad been at some pains to discover what the grounds were on , which Ministers bad acted in this transaction. They had given to the public no reason for their coodu4.— ~ (A gentleman exclaimed 4‘ They cannot give a reason.P He (Mr. Lawsbton) was aware, as had been said by ' * his lion. Friend in the centre of the room, that they could not adduce any reason: and he pledged his eke ' raster, knowing as be did every act of Sir R. Wilson,. 'and, be believed, his every thought, no the day wiles, his lestoduct gave such mortal offence to Ministers. that the •retiorte circulated against bins were false and noTowt.leil ,calunsuies.—(('beasts.)—He pledged Isis honour, that on
