Wlin the latter knew it, he directed a letter to be sent - Ito,the Major, (*ring him 1000 dollars compen -11%11011 tor each horse. The letter was superscrib td—' To the robber-chief Schill.' &hill replied to him by another letter as 1 011 °t e Sir, Bro ther, 1 feel the more gtatification in having taken your foor horses, as I u nderstand from your let ter that y9it vet a high value upon them.

L iV 11J 1' be stil3sequeret conclusion or the Act of Accu sation is that to 'which we alluded yesterday as differing from the first copy of that . ilocument find therefore deserving the notice. of our Readers. It inunetliately follows the letter to Lord GREY Such is the literal translation of Wilso►n's di;patch, stripped of reflections which Would have appeared displaced in this recital. • . " Tliis letter. acittionidgeil by Wilson, is donfirmed in its details by' the documents in the process ; and the interroga tories of the accused explain a number of passages in it. It would appear, that is was dii the id or ;Id of Jaaudry that the first proposal of saving Lavalette aVas madeld Bruce ; and Brut states, WI this subject, that a person brought him an anonymous letter, in Which, after extolling the goodness of his, heart, the writer said he was induced, by the Confidence which he inspired, to pisclose to hint a great secret ; that La valc:tte, was still in Paris, adding, that he (Brute) alone cotild save him, and !legging him to explain his intentions on this subject :•that he'.(Bruce) gave no immediate answer, hot promised, to send one to A place which he mentioned, and which honour did not permit him to name : that prevented him from putting any questions as to the name of the person who wrote to him, or the place of Lavalette's retreat, think ing that, in an affair of this sort, indiscretion could not be too much avoided. General Wilson was ignorant, he says, of all these details ; it was I who told him of then: ;it was I also who prevailed upon him to unite his efforts with mine in favour IA Layslette; and if there is any one guilty in this business, it is I. My political opinions might have influenc ed the sentiments which I expressed on the occasion of Mar shal Ney's trial. It wro my conviction that the capitulation of Paris stood in the way of : his trial. As to Lavalette's Affair, I affirm that I was i nfluenced solely by 'the commiser ation with which he had inspired me. There was in his es cape something romantic, and so to speak, miraculous, which strongly seized my imagination, and excited a powerful inte rest in my heart fur him.' " Hutchinson makes the same avowals, and expresses nearly the same sentiments as Bruce. lie protests that he bad not the slightest idea of conspiring against the Fiend) Government; and if he en-operated in Lavalette's flight, it was merely from the wish to save an unfortunate man. " Sir It. Wilson assigns to his conduct a mere elevated ob ject—he wished to efface frowt the Government of his Country the opprobrium attached to the Violation of the capitulation, of Paris; and he protests that it never entered into his views to Make any attempt against the French Government: but he avows his opposition to the principles which at present direct the Government of his country,and to the political Sys. tent of Europe, which is no crime in an Englishman : and he adds, that the constitution of his country, its independence, and its happiness, are of much higher consideration in his eyes than the safety of the french Government, and the repose Of Europe established on the rtiin of England. Cl But if we wish to know the real sentiments of Sir RO- bed Wilson,, we must seek for them in the corretpundenee which he held with some private persons in England—a cor respondence of which the documents proceeding from him self, Or from his brother Sir Edw-srd Wilson; were submitted to his inspection, and acknowledged by him. In all his let ters Wilson professes principles the must opposito to all sc cial order, and to the tranquillity of Europe'. According to him, affairs have taken a wboll y count er.revolutionary coots°, under the sanction of the CO!lrts of Austtia and Russia. The dethronement of the King is irrevocable. lie give's the epi thet of legitimate maniac to a courageous friend who had re fused to listen to hi dangerous inspirations. tie thus closes a letter dated the 24th of December ;--Yon will soon hear of extraordinary events in Germany. • " Tbe third article of this correspondence is a letterlrom Echvard Wilson to R. T. Wilson, which shows the conformity of principles and unity of sentiment 4 which exist between the two brothers, Edward writes to Robert Wilson, that if it is proposed to overturn the existing order of things, the fire most be constantly kept up, and always visible, like a beacon of alain), in France and in foreign parts : that mat ter* become daily more favourable for the recovery of sore- reignty and independence for the French people ; but that it is to be feared that they should cool, and that efforts be ne- Fleeted, which, well employed, world necessarily lead to a general emancipation. " Passing to the means which might weaken the attach ment of the majority to the cause of the Bourbons, and i►,- sisting on the employment i oc means, Edward Wilson recom mends, above all, the insinuation of a persecution, real or, imaginary, against the Protestants--an idea, he says, which spreads like.wild-fire, diffuses itself Übe a contagion among the people in general, and engenders a spirit of mortal ha. tred and contempt for the new dynasty. May this new arm be that of liberty to all nations ! He closes his letter by a piece of advice which leaves no doubt as to the dispositions Of these implacable mollies of our country. If, however, our friends show too much weak ness, it would he better to attempt nothing; fur, unless -the great mass of the people put themselves io motion, no result will be obtained. " The finial) document proceeds from It. T. Wilson. %e there boil the prognostics of this foreigner AS to the revolu tion which is preparing in 'Franey. There will be bloody scenes before the revolution can he consinnimateil, but the point is fixed, nod the impulse given. Revolutionary move ments are also preparing in Prussia. in line, the fifth dotoment is the letter from which is extracted the relation of Lvalette's esetpe.. Wilson does not there dissemble the 'motives which led him to protect that Man. Robert Thomas Wilson. after hiving in his interrogato ries protested against his arrest, against.. the form of French criminal inquiry, aiminst the scizure of his corregpondence, and against what he calls the inquisiti• ial system of interro gations, likiti t however, acknowledged that, 4Ccoriling to the principles of the law of nations, he was subject to the empire of the French laws far the prosecution and repression of an offence committed in France; but he closed the interrogatory with these words i—lt would appear to be forgotten that I am an Englishman, Or that the right of Englishmen is not known. I have given my last answers let me be brought to ttial ; when before this tribunals, I shill know how to defend mysellas I ought, and to defend my rights.

He concluded with giving the health of " Mrs. Siddons." in returning thanks for the-ho nour done to his relative, assured the company, that, from his knowledge of her feelingF, nothing could afford her higher delight than the report which it would be in his power to make to her of the high compliment paid to her that night.
