The Treasury Journal% assert that she friend, of Sir ROBERT WILSON are 1 ' elamfotring" for a sub scription fur that Gentleman. Two or three large sums have been anirouneed in some of the news ;ropers as the proffered gift of anonymous cor resoondeuta, anxious to compensate that gallant Officer for the pecuniary loss which lie has ens tattied in his di 4444 *mod from the service, and it will be seen in a paragraph in another part of our Paper, that a 'nesting of the elector% of Southwark will be held on Friday next in that borough, to take the subject of his dismissal generally into consideration. Theoe are ull the ateps yet taken in this case by the friends of Sir ROBERT WILSON, but we cannot perceive in them any thing like clamour. That term will much better apply to the conduct of the writers a ho make this charge, for we cannot forget the loudness and ediemence with which they agi tated the public for a subscription for the life guards, which has been slier flung back with con tempt in their face. The present tooment is very un f svourable for mnkirg any exertion its the cause of that gallant and meritorious Officer. Ma parlia mentary and other linlitical friends are dispersed over the kitigelom anal the Continent, at too great a distance to admit of collecting their arose as to the course tit to be pUralat'd 011 his behalf, and to second it with Ihrir personal ii.flitetier and exertions. Could all this iotluenre he brought to bear on any polio suggested for his relief, it would produce a voice deep and loud indeed, brit it would not be clamour. It would be a voice such as Englishmen never fail to raise on behalf of the oporessed ; a voice not confined to the 'Flom Ilall of the borough of Southwaik, but a voice beau! through every part of the comitry, tool re-echoed from reel* city slid vil lage it contains. in this tthoerraitioi: it is tint meant to question the right assnmrd and exercised by Mi nisters in this particular ease, but we may be allow ed to say that sanonont as may become summa irs juria, and the dismissal of Sir R. W I LS 0 N without the assigtiment of any cffence or the institution of soy inquiry, and consequently without affording him any opportunity of saying one woad in his defence, is a 110,41 . 1VC injury, that it is an act that does not accord with the principles of the British Comfit's. tion, or hist all in unison with the feelings of a free people. Under the circumstances which we have stated any effort yet made by the friends of that gallant Officer mast be necessarily imperfect, per haps premature; but had nothing been done, the very same persons who complain of " clamour" would not have failed to misrepresent the silence and inactivity of his friends, and triumphantly exclaim that the public took no interest in his fate. It will be seen in our Dover letter that no fewer than five vessels with pasaeogers sailed on Saturday from Dover, four of which were destined for Calais and one proceeded to Ostend.

The Oriental Spectator gives some extracts bum thr notes of Baron Strogonoiff to the Sublime Po►te, dated the t and 9Gth July, regrrtimg that it cannot give the whole, which, it says. is• master piece of 'moderation and pulley. The Ambassador observer— " T h at' Russia, depending on the justice of her demands, and certain that ill her Allies are convinced of the posity of tier intentions, has, while she took upon herself the defence of ge nersl iiitermts, not alleged the particular rights which mvy be considered os the eroond of all its proceedings totturils the Turkish Government. He allege* the Treaty of kaniardgi, which gave liutwia the protection of the Greek Christians in all the owes of the Porte, sod the Treaty of Bucharest, which the ivaminpiiiiiis of the Reis Effendi iu the conference of the 25 , 11 April would _render vain and of nu effect, and deprive the inhabitants of Aluldatis and Wallachia of all prospect of seeing on roil of their misforiams. " Nelson lirsiers with rasp-et to the Porte what she always has desired. While she fr nakly points out to the Government the changer to which isesposes itself, site will at the moue' time stew it the way to its pre. serration, sod if it obstinately petition in not follow. log that way, Romig will warn it before hand what attitude it well compel it to assume. " If, as the Emperor willingly believes, the mea sures under which religion stud humanity io Turkey grouts, have been taken contrary to the wishes, of the Sublime Porte, his Majesty requites that his nightie., shall prove that he is not without power to alter a system, which, as it now is, will tto longer permit the Clitistian Government to treat with the Mks, or .in. live open „any othe► tense with them) that, in a state of war. • 6 Thst ilir Greek (lovelies that have been de. strayed or plundered be immediately restored to a cotalitiois whop ed to their +acted dentin:on) ; that his 11%1111er. restore to the Christian worship its just rights, fall . ..oiling it the same protection as befrre, guaranteeing its inviolability for the future, and do ing every thing to console Europe for the death of the Patriarch of Constantinople, and for thr wok. notions which succeeded liis death ; that a wise unit just 110E:teler be made between the air drits of the trouble+ and those who have taken past in them, and those who.e innovence should prn'ect them fsom the severity of the Divan; that to this end a pro spect of tranquillity and peace be opened to the Creeks who have remained faithful, or who shall submit within a ceit sin time; and that whatever the state if things may be, means shall be adopted to divtirignish the innocent from the guilty. "'ho the last moment the. Emperor will tepel from his mind every representation contrary to the pr e veihng; but if the Turkish Government, con trary to expeirtatima, should manifest that it is in consequent c of a Won voluntarily adopted that those teteasitsea are taken, resprcling which the undersigned 1145 already dictated the opinion of his august Master, nothing will then remain to the Emperor than to declare anew to the Sublime Porte that it places itself in a state of open hostility with the whole Christian world; that it legalizes the re sistance of the Greeks, who would then combat solely to save themselves ferias inevitable destruc tion; and that consideriog the nature of this con test, Russia will consider itself as aridly bound to afford them an asylum, because they are persecuted ; protection, because she has a right to do ►o; and assistance in union with all Christendom, because she cannot leave . her fellow-believers a prey to blind lanaticisni. " In making these declarations to the Sublime Porte, his Majesty, the Emperor, consider, that be has fulfilled all his obligations towards it. He has proved, that, as a faithful observer of treaties, he silo ere's ,. desires their maintenance, since he has pointed out to it the n►eans that may save it, and even 'hewn a wish to contribute to its preservation. " lie proves it even this day, by pointing out the only means by which the Sublime Porte can avert its entire overthrow. " The undersigned is commanded to give the Sublime Porte the space of eight days to answer to the present communication. " In case the Turkish Government listens to all the wishes able linoerial Majesty, and fulfil all his hopes by acceding au these proposals, the under signed is commissioned to agree with the Sublime Porte upon another period of time, during which it shall have an opportunity of proving to Europe, by the testimony of facts, that it not only accepts these proposals, which must show on its part a re tuns to more moderate principles, and which are here above stated ; but also that it exerts itself to carry them into effect, and that it not only does t desire the evil, but also that it is aide and willing to prevent it.
