A ri 'or Coventry (Mr:Ellice), who Was then at Paris, to return together ; it was then Thursday, ,rid they left it 011 Saturday morning. At that :Inn they knew nothing but the fact of the decease 31 the Queen. At Boulogne they met a French -outlet% end there, fur the first lime, learned that tier late Majesty had directed her remains to be , eu t to B run swick. Sunday, the 14th, he, for the first time, learned !het the funeral was to take lace the Is' hof August. He ,immediately wrote :o Dr. Lushington tbat he would attend the funeral, ,ad that he placed himself at the disposition of the Conductors of it. At the same lime he wrote letter to his son, who was Equerry to her Ma •esty, to ascerain Where the executors woold be he evening of the next don and to learn the ar ea fixed on. On the evening o f the 13 th ?Alm lie arrived, and oo getting out of the carriage was Armed that he would find the executors at Bran lenbargh House. He crossed to Alderman Wood's house; the Honourable Alderman said that he would take him in his carnage to Brandeirborgh House, and the Honourable Member for Coventry accompanied them, and he begged of him to cost firm this fact. In conversation with Alderman Wood, he told him that it was his (Sir R. Wilson's) intention to anew, the funeral in one of the mourning coac hes w hich would be provided by the executors, but was told that be (Alderman Wood) would not be allowed logo; on which he said, that he would not expose himself to the insult of • refusal. They waited till past five o'clock, and Done of the exe :utors came. He held no communication there with any person but her Majesty's servants, who were busily engaged iu preparing for the funeral. He attended oo meeting at Hammersmith elastics tisely.—(Rear.)—The Hon. Member then descnb ed his return to the Queen's house in South Auct. In..street—his having found there two of the exe cutors (Dr. Lushington and Mr. Wilde) engaged in a correspondence with Lord Liverpool, their doubts whether the funeral would take place next day, and refining him for intelligence on the subject that night to Mr. Hume, at the Freemasons' Tavern —his going _there and staying but about five mi nutes, as Mr. Hume had not come. He then stated, that he repaired to Brookes's, where he found the Honourable Member for %Vinehelsea (Mr. Brougham), who informed him that Dr. Lushington end Mr. Wilde were coming there to frame another letter to Lord Liverpool, and that it was past eleven o'clock when he left them, ignorant themselves whether the funeral would take-place next day. He went to Alderman . Wood's house next morning, and mounted a little, fat, hand some chesitut horse belonging to him, and not a tall, dark. thin horse, and rode to Brandenburgh Howse. He overtook the Alderman, and the hoer was so early that they did not meet twenty persons on the road. and had no intimation what. ever of the likelihood of • disturbance. Again, he had no communication whatever with any person but the Queen's family. It was impossible; far there ware police officers stationed at the place who pre vented from entering, with a good deal of violence. the persons who imagined they had • right to enter. He then detailed the circumstances of the protest sgaiust the removal of her Majesty's persoo ; the statement to Sir G. Nayler of his wish to ride by the aide of the mew, ; the reply of the latter that it was not decorous, and his then posting himself behind the List mourning coach. A shower of rain cause on, sod • halt of above half an hour billow. ed. The people came hack, and told him sad the gentlemen about him that the people had placed barriers across the road, and that the soldiers were committing great havoc among the people. He told three who mid so to hold their tongue, that they were doing mischief. He then situ to the Member for Aberdeen, that they could ride forward, and see what was doing; upon which they did so, preventing others from accompa ruing them who were desirous of it. They then weut on together to the head of the procession, and took a station near the blues, where he fell into 'conversation with the Commanding Officer, whose face was familiar to hum. but whose name lie did not then know, but had since learnt that it was Lieut.-Colonel Bouverie. He asked that offi cer whether the procession would puss through the City to which he replied, that he did not know; he was only there as commanding the guard of ho roar, and must be guided by his instruction'. The aim added, that the people were doing very won in taking sway the home from • baggage waggon that was in hunt, which had hewn sent for- Ward for the use of the soldiers from Windsor. He we that it was wrong, suit, acesinpauied by the Hon. Member (Mr. Ilume), he went up and ad dtewed the people, representing to them the im propriety of what they were doing; eheteupoo they consented to allow the horses to be put to the wag yon, which was immediately allowed to pass on. lie then returned to his former station nt the pro- , cession, which then advanced until he came to a place where there was • dead wall; and there some per ton seeing him quite wet, asked him to take some lefreshinent, which lie declined. The ;alteration KArmiceri towards Piccadilly, and when it had reached Hyde Park-corner, • gentleman tau horse tack rode op to them, and mud It wits agreed that it should go through the City. 'fist per son assured them he hail received Sir Robert Baker's authority to make that communice. two. To their surprise, after the ninursting , clies Ir ' him at the time, the bon. Member IV,. fume), he believed, advised him riot to go forward, but he answered, that as he might be of soma assistimee in restoring peace, he thought himself bound in duty to go and use his endeavours for that purpose. When be reached the gee the leaders of the ne s t mourning crotch stood in the gateway, so that he was obliged to get some of the by-strudel's to raise up the bars, that he might pass through. On getting through the gate he saw the hearse sur rounded by the blue., end he saw the life guards broken and in confusion, presenting suds an ap pearance as he had never seen except on occirs.ons when cavalry had been repulsed or received some check. Whatever might hare been the original provocation, the people were then so far peaceable that there was no longer any necessity for firing, and its continuation could have no tendency to preserve, but on the contrary to prolong the breach of the peace. He rode up and *eked whether they had received soy orders to lire, and who had given them ; the men said no one had given them any orders, but they had been ill-treated—(Hear, hear, hear, and load murmurs from the Opposition Benches.)--He thee entreated theta for God's sake to desist. He rode up to another party at a 'little -distance from the former, who also said they had received no orders to Bre, but that they had been pelted with stones, and nobody could endure it—(Hear, hear, hear;)-.he then esti to them " All that is now over, for Gnd's sake keep quiet." A wrote, whom he at she--time took for a Marshal's man, theta said they were only firing blank cartridge iu order to frighten the people. Presently afterwards a shot was fired froin behind him, which parsed so near to him that he thought it had cut his face, and IMF' up his hand to feel whether it had bled. 011 100! ing round he saw some of the soldiers deliberately reloading their pistols, and in order to revive in them • proper feeling, he addressed them, telling • them it was quite disgraceful to continue tieing ia that manner; he reminded them that the people were unarmed; he urged them to remember that they were soldiers of Waterloo, and conjured them not to disgrace their gallant conduct on that memo rable occasion, to remember they had there stood the firing of cannon shot, and not now to be afraid of a few atones.—(Cheers.)—He then went up to a person, who he was informed was a Magistrate, awl remonstrated with him rather warmly fur not being in his place to prevent what had occurred, to which that person made answer, that wherever there bad been any impedimenta, there he had been for the purpose of removing them, and that was the proper place fur • him as a Magistrate. A further remark was made , by the Magistrate. which fully justified the view• which he (Sir It. W.) had taken of the who's pro ceedings.—(Cries of "Name name !")—He Isad no wish to assume the character of an accuses. At that moment he sew an officer whom he did not know, but whom he believed to be the commanding officer, to whom he represented what he had ob . served, and the impropriety of the firing. The officer said he had given the tarn no orders to fire. He then proceeded with him towards the Magistrate, whom he presented to the Commanding Officer. and advised the latter to appoint a dragoon is at tend Item for the purpose of conveying his instruc tions. He said he would remain by him. He wished to add. that when ird spoke to the soldiers they received his rebuke with a very good spirit, *tying. " Let us put up our pistols, and form." The people continuing to exhibit signs of anger and irritation, he again spoke to the Commend ing Officer, telling him, that. as long as he remained there with his party after what had taken place, it was quite impossible that the tumult should cease, send recommending him to with. draw his men. Orders were given by the Officer for that purpose, and a movement, by which he in tended to pass by the rear of the hearse through the people into the Park, brought his men upon •. heap of loose stones. In order to prevent any un pleasant con•equences which he feared that move ment might give rise to, lie recommended the officer to advance his troops along the road, and take the first turning, which would carry hint quite clear of any part of the crowd. He raid he would adopt that recommendatiou. When the troops were mov- ing he saw a solder struck with • stone, who dis played exceeding good temper ; that was the only soldier whom he law struck, and the throwing of stones within his observation was very partial in deed. A short tune afterwards he sew an officer of the same regiment as the former arrive with a party of six tarn, end give some orders to the officer commanding the blues. After he had given the ordeiv, the people were beginning to gather round, and he (Sir Robert ill'ilson) said to the officer, " Perhaps you are not aware of what has passed; there has been some did urbance, and a firing has taken place from it party of your regiment On the people, which hes much ineensed them, and to prevent any farther breach of the peace, you had better retirees the other parry hiss done." He said that he h■d nothing ro do there, having delivered his orders, and he would therefore go away. The harness of the hearse, which had got entangled, basing been put to rights, the procession moved forward. At that time he saw Sir Robert Baker, with whom he communicated on what had passed, °barrig to him that it was fortunate the blues were rio popular, as there would now be no more interruption. He then fell bark into the place he had before occupied in the procession, and never again advanced our quitted his station until they arrived at Mimi, where he took dinner in company with an Honourable Member near him. He was particular in mentioning that circumstance, because some person, so whom he would not apply the term of gentleman, for hi• conduct hail proved him wholly undeserving of the appellation, had made a communication that he had dined with him at • psi stealer place, mud alter dinner had given a vulgir and treasonable toast.—(Hear, hear, hear.). — He knew not whether it wee intended to blame him for any thing that hail hccurred on the road from Ilford to Harwich, in all which he had taken so part further than as a private mourner, following in the train, and attending the re monl of the body from the hearse into the church, and buck from the church into the he•►se whenever that operation took place. Upon his return to town. reports of every kind were afloat, ahrl • friend said 10 Lim, " Sou are to lie hanged, drawn, and ((auricled, hereto.... as it is said, you are the person who placed the obstructions in the way of the procession of the Quern'• fune ral." This was generally reported about wen, aud ...-11......-JalYn woo mentioned to bins by Ebony peroont. ritzy of reports were flyng shoot, such as that he *in to be publicly censured. that he writ to he turned out of the army, slid other things of the same description. Feeling somettong of au obit. Kenton on his part to present his conduct from bring left. for want of explanation, liable to coo. tinned misrepresentations, he had some intention or submitting a statement of the circumstances with which he was connected to his constituents; but upon consulting with his Honourable Colleague on that subject, he was advised that in his opinion it would not be advi.able to make such a statetnent, which, es there were two Coroners' Junes sitting on so inquiry into the causes of the death of the two unfortunate individuals who had been killed, would have the air of voluoteering his testimony is the cave, and give him an appearance of destroug to become a party in the-affair. Being desirous to return to Paris. but soziou• not to withdraw him self while any doubt should seed to hang over his conduct, or while a disposition might remain to reader it the subject of inquiry, he went out the 27th August to the Office of the Commander-in ' Chief, where he hid sn interview with Sir Herbert Taylor, to whom he communicated his wish to leave town fur Paris, the motile of the rumours -that were in circulation, nod iii. apprehension that it- I Mai& be in contemplation to make his conduct s subject of inquiry. and stifled, that if he reeeivetl: no counnunicatiou from him on the subject wiling A va. a given time, he should take it granted that no intention of that kind existed. The Honourable Member here read a copy of this minute made by Sir H. Taylor of whet passed at that interview. Not receiving any cominoitication from Sir H. Taylor from the 270, August to the Sth Septem. ber, lie went to Paris. Oo the 19th of Septem. ber he received a note from Sir Charles Stuart, his Majesty's Ambassador at Paris, requesting he would call on him, as he had a communication to deliver from his Majesty's Ministers. hi con. sequence of the receipt of that note, he waited on Sir C. Stuart the nest morunig; but before he eve him, he west tato a public coffer-room, where. in • French paper, lie saw an extract from the English Cornier, announcing his diamissel from the army in precisely the same terms its those of the of f icial letter in which it was tioitfieil to him. Sir Charles Stuart, on his introduction, delivered to him • sealed letter from his Royal Highness the Commander-in- Chief, of the content, of which he assured him that he was wholly ignorant. The letter ran thus : " Sir, I have it in command from his Majesty to idiom you, that his Majesty hes no further twee mon for your services." Thus in two lines and a half did he find himself degraded from his rank in the army. plundered of the capital invested in the purchase of his commission,. his profes sional expectations annihilated, and a stain and stigma affixed to his character. Upon the let ter of his Royal Highness he should tort make • single remark, as Itecousidered it only as an official "tommunicrtion, which the regular forms of the ser vice required should he made through him, and he should ever feel grateful for very many acts sIC kindness which he had received from his Royal Highness. After receiving that letter, he wrote NI his Royal Highness. alluding to the interview he had had with Sir H, Taylor, mod requesting that his conduct might be sulartitted to a court-mar tial. On the 44th September he found it necessary write • letter to M-jor Oakes, in consequence of a statement which appeared in the newspapers, pur porting to give an account of what lied parted be tween them on the day of the funeral, which was Much at variance with the truth, calling on him to contradict that statement. On the 2Sth Sept. he re. ceived a letter from hie Royal Highness the Com. mender in Chief in answer to his, stating, that " His Majesty did not judge it proper to comply with the request contained in it." He arrived in England on the 7ih October, and being still desirous, if possible, of obtaining justice from his Royal Highness, or the military /authorities of the country, he thought it hie duty to make another communication to his Royal, Highness. He made it on the Bth of Octo ber, referring to his former letter, solemnly deny ing the truth of all the reports which had been cir culated. stating that he had taken every possible measure within his reach to procure a refutation of them, and that he was reedy for that purpose to submit himself to the jurisdiction of • military tri huntil. He did that because lie knew it to be legal, ;aid that there were precedents for such a proceed ing.—(llear, hear.)—He would mention one, which was that of Lord George Sat:krill', who had been dismissed, but consented afterwards and was tried by a coon-inertial, the opinion of the Judges hav ing been given in favour of the legality of such trial. There were also many other cores of a simi lar nature. In answer to that last communication, he received another letter from his Royal Highness, iii the following terms :—" Havitio laid your termer communication helore his Majesty, cud communi cated to you his Majesty'. tenon:lents on it, I donut feel warranted ill takiligauy farther steps in the affair." Thos lie foetid it had been determined that he should he finally dianiapeed from the service, end that the first sentence was without appeal. He did not, however, yet despair of obtaining justice ; and he made application to Lord Sidmooth, then one of hie Majesty'. Priocipel Secretaries of State, stating that be had been given to understand that an iu formation on oath had been given that he had at tended a secret meeting at Hammersmith the day before the funeral, at which the plan of obstructing it was concerted, and requesting to be furnished with a copy of the said Information, that lie might be enabled toprosecute the party for perjury. The answer which the Noble Lord made was, that he did not conceive that he was the proper channel for such a curninunicatioti. In consequence of that answer lie mode application on the subject to Sir R. Biruie;•and was informed by him th.t at the first ineethig of the Magistrates that infor mation was et mice proved to be unfounded.— (Loud cheers:)-Ati the course of his inquiries, however ' lie learned that an ioformation had been sworn, owing that be was seen at Kensington on the trey of the Num! . with a pot of porter in his hand, encouraging the people to continue their iniprdimesits in the way of the funeral.
