THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS, S'eplernber 20. . , [THE: Trirtr.s.l 'Si. A.OBERT, WILSON. [Great mystery is affected by the Ministerial Press respecting the real causes of the dismission of this gallant officer from the British service. We'cannot say on our direct knowledge how far the annexed solution of it is entitled to credit, but we receive the narrative from a respectable Cor respondent, who announces it as the accredited explanation in the military and ministerial cir cles] : " On the day of the Queen's -funeral, at the time the procession was approaching Cumberland gate, and after the firing by the military at the people had commenced, Sir Robert Wilson rode up to Captain Oakes, then on duty near Cumber land-gate, and, remonstrated with. him on the coltduct of the soldiers under under his corn maud, which he said ' was disgraceful to the regiment, and injurious to the character of the service.' Captain Oakes replied, ' Sir Robert I know you perfectly well, but I shall cister into no discussion with you on this point at present. I . shall do my duty, and my Men will do theirs.' Nothing further passed on that occa sion. 'On the following day Captain 4:)akes ,sub mitted the occurrence to the other officers of the -iegiment, in order to obtain their opinion on the course which it became him, as a man ,of honour, to pursue on the subject. He was -willing to regard the affair as one of a per sonal nature, solely affecting himself, and only required their sanction to take immediately the proper measures to obtain reparation. The other Officers of the regiment, however, rtfused to allow a transaction which they considered to im ply a general reflection on the regiment to be adjusted on the terms of a private difference, and would not consent that Captain Oakes should take the affair upon himself in the manner pro posed. A statement of what occurred at Cum- Perland-gate between Sir R. Wilson and Capt. Oakes was in consequence drawn up, and trans mitted to the Duke of York. His Royal High ness, qn receiving it, caused a private inquiry into the correctness of the facts to be instituted, and having found them established to his satis faction, he referred the whole affair to the King, Vilio in consequence caused his Royal pleasure to he declared, that Sir Robert Wilson should be dismissed the service." After having said " we cannot say on our own direct knoWledge how far the annexed (above) solution is entitled to credit," though avowedly received from. 46 a respectable Correspondent," The Tunes presents its own narrative, with its own comments and reflexions, as follows: " W e shall now proceed to give another state went, the particulars of which we have received from Gentlemen who were near Sir R. Wilson at the time, and who had, when they communi cated to us the intelligence, no more idea that Sir Robert Wilson would have been so punished _for his humanity, than we had on Tuesday, when Ave saw the Gazette, that there was the most distant connection between the - gallant General's address to Captain Oakes - and the subject of the olLcipl notification. It was only yesterday that we had certain ground for ascribiti, this brave man's punishment to a cause, prima facie, SO !Vl natural. The 14th of August was indeed a day fertile in topics of something more than regret ; sifice on account of the same anxiety for the preservation of human life, called forth from two honest hearts by its outrageous proceedings, the country has incurred the double loss of a benevolent Magistrate, and a gallant and skilful Soldier. Sir Robert Wilson was riding at the moment alluded to in our printed- statement with the other gentleman who-attended to pay the last tribute of respect to her late Majesty. When he heard the pistol shots, he expressed a desire to go up to the spot, and at least ascertain the cause of them. His friends would have detained him, from consider ing that his presence at such 'a scene might, like many other innocent and well-meant acts, be liable to malicious ,construction. This, Sir R. Wilson declared to be unworthy his regard, so 'long as there was a chance of saving one life, or dissuading the military from the smallest exer cise of violence. He therefore accosted the commanding officer, simply asking him whe ther it was by his orders that the soldiers fired. The officer replied " No." Sir Robert then begged him " for God's sake to interfere and prevent the effusion of blood." The 'firing did, as our informants have assured "us, - cease al niost immediately, and by the interposition of the officers. We are therefore 'bound to say that, -with the materials for deciding which are as yet before us, this brave and animated officer has, in -our opinion, been harshly and illiberally treated. We know too weil the force of the prerogative, to question that the King has power,if he pleases, to take away an officer's commission. The prac tice of late (very late) years has been such as to remind us that the power exists-4nd -that there •tre those who seem averse to its ever becoming . obsolete. We admit also that to chastise the re fractory Opposition Voter, in the person of a Major-General, may be with some certain classes of Ministers a temptation too powerful to be withstood ; but, let the culprit be ever •so ob noxious; is it. not necessarily a wise proceeding, " With barefaced power to sweep bun from my sight, _ " And bid my will avouch it ?" It is not wise, because it is not just. No pre rogative of an English King is of such a trans cendant and arbitrary nature, as to " be avouched" by mere will„ All discretion is-given him to be discreetly exercised. The advice under 'which he acts is liable to be questioned ; the motives of his advisers to be - scrutinized ; acts of midis* put-ed prerogative - may be condemned for indis putable folly, malignity, or unworthiness, in the feelings whence they flow." [NEW Tißits.] The Old Times, at last, confesses that " to great surprise," it has "discoveted it is under in. dictm&it for a Libel en the veep person whom i on Saturday last accused of cowardice for not in. dieting the "Leading Journal." ft has taken a' few days to deliberate on its surprise, and it cer tainly does acknowteclge it-in a very subdued tone indeed !—Let any one look at the atrocious article of - last Saturday, and compare it with that of yesterday. A more profligate abuse of the power of the Press was never exhibited than in the former : nor a more ridiculous at- tempt to sneak out of overbearing insolence than in the latter. In the first instance, all the low, Billingsgate vulgarity of Mr. Waithman was re peated,-and chuckled over, and commented upon, if possible, more offensively by the Editor; the injured individual, it was presumed, lay at the mercy .of the Tyrant of the Press, and it was determined to crush him into the earth with the memorable "-reams of wet paper." Now the scene is changed. The Editor " neither claims the merit nor the demerit" of his friend Waithman's scandalous tongue—it is not -he that gives currency, and add% venom to the original slander—strange that any man should think of indicting him ! stranger still that any Grand Jury should find the bill.—He is a mere channel through which to convey the news of the day—and " by this test he is willing to be tried."—Miserable sub terfuge ! Paltry, pitiful equivocation ! and to come from the very Journal which had not merely challenged attack, but had made its sup posed exemption from prosecution the ground of a new and more odious insult 1 . Certainly the offender will not be tried by the test which he now supplicates. He will not be regarded as one whom a - painful public duty compels to re cord language a thousand times more disgraceful to the man who uttered it than to him who is its object. We ourselves are too frequently placed in:that unpleasant predicament when we have to record the harangues of Mr. Waithinan, who seldom speaks in public but to slander his betters in rank, in worth, and in talents. But it is one thing to the unwilling historian, and another to the confederate in calumny. The public_ can not have forgotten the unmanly advantage that the Director of The Times took of the com mercial difficulties in which Mr. Sharp, like .a thousand other honourable men in this great me tropolis, had been casually involved ; they can not have forgotten the disgust which was. univer sally felt at so base an attack from such a quar ter—for surely if the writer in question had had the slightest regard to the feelings' of his own family, he would not have ventured to allude to a commercial failure as a subject of reproach.— We, for our part, shall be more considerate ; we shall not touch upon incidents, which, in stinging to the quick the upstart vanity of an insolent individual, must inevitably give pain to his un offending connexions. It is, however, a part of our duty to notice the abuses of the Press, and a more gross and offensive one than that perpe trated in The Times of last Saturday, it certainly never fell to our lot to encounter. [MORNING Pon.] The Radicals and their Whig Allies pretend to be highly delighted with the manner in which the subscription for the relief and remuneration of the Life Guards wounded on the daY of the Queen's funeral, has terminated. As usual they express what they do not feel. They may, in deed, rejoice that a just and salutary object has been dereated,for to defeat such objects has been the constant study of their lives ; but they can feel no delight at a termination which raises still higher the character of those soldiers whom they have joined the populace in defaming. They who have hitherto done every thing in their power to create a breach between the military and the people, cannot see with pleasure the mi litary act in a manner so delicate, so manly, and so honourable, as must conciliate the respect and admiration of even the lowest -alnQngst the mob. All that tends to produce harmony must prove unwelcome to those who have shewn that tumult and disorder were the elements of their hap-_ piness. We, make therefore no unfair assertion when we say that we do not believe the sincerity of the delight expressed by the combined organs of the Whigs and Radicals. In their own view of the question they have no cause for rejoicing; and that which, when it reaches their lips, is triumph, would, if seen at. the .moment of its birth, in their hearts, assume no other character than that of defeat. [MORNING HERALD.] - The question respecting Turkey and Ruisia no longer excites the same curiosityperhaps from having kept men's minds so long on - the stretch without any final satisfaction. It would appear, indeed, that the march of the negocia- Lions has slackened. Prince Metternich is about to submit to his Sovereign a DeClaration, to be pbblished in the name of Austria, respecting' the Greeks,, and, if we may trust the specula tors upon politics in Paris, England is labour ing to 'persuade that Power into 'a Convention re specting the Turkish - gmpire, calculated to restrain the projects of the Emperor Alexander. It is also stated that England is drawing still closer the bonds of amity with Spain, in order to wield the greatest possible weight of authority and power against the Autocrat of the North. The probability 'is,-as we have already stated from the 'Foreign Journals, that another Congress will take place, and that until then the pending .dif ferenceS witl 'linger on undecided. The state of Europe is certainly such as to call for a Con gress, now that Congresses, for the last half dozen years, are so easily got. His Majesty's visit has, we have no doubt, a reference to iti and, if we ate correctly informed, he will pass more ofhis time at Vienna than at Hanover. It is there, We hear, that the Sovereigns will meet each other, and not at Frankfort. In the mean time, this protraction of the negociations will prove favourable to the Greeks. Whilst the question of war or peace remains unsettled,_and the Russians continue in - force on the frontiers of Bessarabia, -the Turks must oppose a propor tionate force in the same quarter, and thus a di version is operated in favour of the Greeks. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The scheme of retrenchment, adopte4 . by Mi nisters, has begun precisely where, in justice and mercy, it should have ceased to opefate, They haye, indeed, begun at the. wrong end, but then that end - was the furthest removed froin'them selves,, and in the true policy of _Frederick of Prussia, they have lain any ' 4 ' thing but tha table . cloth as far from home as. possible. The' Petty Cle-rks ant./ Subordinate Officers of Government are _destined, first, to feet the measures of re trenchment. Long practised in etonomising-their narrow- Means, it is probably argued, that they are better qualified and adapted to-endure pri vations than those accustomed to riot in the in diligence of every luxury. Were the object of Ministers to render the, very, name of Re-. trenchment odious, a more happy expedient than that we have alluded to could not have been devised ; the consequences of which are as abortive as the principle is unjust.— The underlings of office, when thrown out of employment, have no resource but in crimes or the parish, and of necessity become either -curses or burthens to their country ; and what,-at best, is the saving effected at this price ? Does it amount to one of those salaries, in the enjoyment of which Ministers and their servants have grown old and wealthy ? No; but the a tree is.not to be lopped at the top, quoth Ministers, let us begin at the bottom where the leaves are rare and ragged ; do not think to profane with the rude pruning knife our luxurious produce, we are above its reach. Respect the foliage that has. cast a shade like that of the Upas tree over the surrounding country, that like it desolates all within its fanci;;;f. shelter. The poor resource less clerk is thus to be thrown an- outcast on so ciety. They, 1;11e beggars' children, are to be pinched to cry for food ; in order that their well fed masters may live and thrive in comfort. — The moan of distress wrung from them will; it is thought, be convincing evidence of the inflexible stern severity of Ministers in the work of Retrenchment ; a grand instance and example to the world of unbending Roman virtue, unattended with the inconvenience of Ro man self-devotion. To call the measures to which we have alluded retrenchment, is an insult to the necessities of the public; it is only iu effect laying that burthen on the community that is taken off the Government. Nothing but the strictest economy, it is admitted by all parties, can save the country. Let then Retrenchment lop something from the superfluities that abound in 'Downing:street, and the Treasury Chambers. We do not apprehend any danger of Lords Li verpool, Sidmouth, or Londonderry coming on the parish ; ❑or -indeed of any of the many Noble Members of the Council of Regency. • .It etas it proverb of Frederick's, applied to his custom of carrying the war into the enemy's country. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 18. The vicinity of these towns has exhibited a gay scene of bustle for the last two days, to witness our Regatta, which has ended with giv ing satisfaction to an immense concourse of spec tators, and the parties - more immediately con cerned. The scene on the first day (Monday) - was heightened beyond all description by the arrival of the Royal squadron from St. Helen's, where they anchored the preceding night. In the very height of this sailing match, the KING'S own yacht, the Roy Al George, stood into bar boqr, encompassed bynet:e numerous yachts and sailing craft_ of every description—her appear ance was grand, and gave a high colouring to the busy scene. The Royal yacht came into the harbour in order to have a few internal altera tions made.- Orders have been received to refit the Royal squadron with every possible dispatch. The -Kula is expected again to embark from this port, The highest panegyrics are passed on his MAJESTY'S conduct during _the heavy - gales of wind which the Royal squadron encountered. At first his MAJESTY felt those consegnences generalry attendant upon a rough voyage—he soon re-appeared on deck, looking much better for his short illness. He landed in the highest spirits, graciously thanking all the squadron for their attention, and duty towards him._ All the nautical men who- witnessed the conduct of the Royal: George pronounce her to be the best sea-boat that ever swam. The escort squadron - received considerable damage from the, press of sail they were obliged,to carry to keep up with her. --~-- Extract of another Private Letter, same date. With the exception of the Grecian, which met with some disaster, and put back to Dunleary, the whole of the KING'S flotilla is arrived at Portsmouth. The Royal George went imme diately into harbour to refit, and the Royal Sovereign and Prince Regent (yachts), with the Liffey and Active (frigates), the Cameleon and Lee (sloops of 'war), composing the escort, brought up at Spithead: The Prince. Regent has sailed for Deptford., and the rest of the fleet remain at their moorings in readiness to attend his MAJESTY to the Continent.—Circumstances seem to confirm the rumour of the KING'S return to this place, 'in- order to embark for the Con tinent. The Royal George yacht is refitting with all expedition, and is expected to be ready for sea again on Saturday next ; and his MA JESTY, it is stated, will be .positively here about. the middle of the ensuing week. The. Prince Regent sailed this forenoon for Deptford, to be dismantled ; but the Royal Sovereign, with the whole of his MAJESTY'S convoy, still re main at Spithead. From the advanced state of the season, his MAJESTY will land, it is sup posed, on the contiguous coast of France, within. i the pier, in all probability, at Calais. Remain' likewise at Spithead, the Agnes and Gannet sloops, and, the Glasgow frigate, at Cowes. The annual Regatta, of which the first day's exhibi-. tion took place yesterday, was renewed to-day, under the. most favourable •auspices. The sports were a repetition of boat-races. The first course was a match between sailing wherries of a par ticular size; second, sailing.vessels of a certain tonnage ; the third, vessels of a larger class ; and the last, a rowing match by five wherries, each carrying a pair of oars and a coxswain. The different races were admirably contested, and did not terminate till nearly sunset. The plat form, the ramparts, and South Sea Beach, were covered with spectators.

Furzman, the officer, and other persons, were called:to-prove the fact of the prisoner being at large, and Mr. LAW having addressed the Jury, : Mr. Justice RICHARDSON observed, that the mere question here was one of law', and should the Jury find : the prisoner guilty, he would reserve the point for . the consideration of the judges. . The Jury having consulted for some time, found that the present was the same charge as the prisoner had before been ac quitted- of. - Mr.:II.I.n.DING,: aged 55, stood capitally indicted for stealing six sheep value 101. the property of Thomas Billings, dn the sth of July last, from a field at Mill-hill, Middlesex. . The prosecutor stated, that' on the Monday following'the rob- hery, he found the sheep in Smithfield, in die custody of a boy named Abrahams. Abrahams swore, that on the 7th Of July he saw the sheep in the possession of the Prisoner, and on the Monday 'fel, : lowing was sent by a Mr. ,Cox, a droi'er, for.thsm at Hackney. Tilley, a drover, swore that he purchased six sheep'of the prisoner on the 7th of Jnly,and that the prisoner drove them to Hackney for him. Witness gave IL Os. a head for•thern, Which he considered a fair price. • . Thomai Sternage also proved the prisoner to hare had the sheep his possession. • T. Austin, a constable, went with another officer to the resi dence of the prisoner . at Winchmore-hill, where they, after some difficulty, forced open the door. On going up stoirs the wife of the prisoner seemed to. he alone, but the other officer noticing a person .walking about in the kitchen, dressed as a woman, 'kept his attention directed to the object, and on seeing the person so dressed attempt to go out of the house, followed; and took the prisoner into custody in consequence of observing that the sup posed female wore man's shoes ; and on taking the handkerchief frOna his face, the prisoner Was immediately detected, and' of course taken to the police office. The prisoner put in a written defence, in, which he stated that he purchaSed the sheep of a man named Thoinas, and on his way sold theM for 11. 7s. 6d. each, and exposed the rest publicly fcr sale at Smithfield. ' He strongly protested his innocence, and accounted for plating on female attire by saying:that he was fearful of being arrested for debt. A man named Stowe Swore that he saw the prisoner purchase nine sheep in the London-road, on this side. Enfield. ,1 A considerable number of witnesses were called as to charae ter, but none of .them could positively say how the prisoner got his livelihood. They all thought him to have an bide pendence. . Mr. Justice Iticuaillissoil summed up, and the. Jury found. him—Guilty. • The prisoner was again tried ,on another Indictment for a si milar offence 'and. acquitted. FORGERY' OF PRUSSIAN DOLLAR NOTES.. • , - 111ANAiSEIrfaAAC GOULDSON 7 otnerwise GOLDSVEIN, was put to the bar on an indictment, charging -him: with having feloniously forged and counterfeited divers Prussian notes, pur porting to be Treasury notes, for the payment- of one dollar each, of one of the Ministers and Officers employed in the service of Frederick 'William 111. King of Prussia., 'with in tent to defraud! him, the said Minister, Baron Altenstein.— We stated yesterday . that there were no Tess than twenty counts in the indictment, in each of which the charge was laid, dif ferently. Mr. LAW opened the case for the prosecution. • Mr. BOLLAND addressed the Jury, and stated the facts of the case as afterwards sworn to by the witnesses. The pie sent prosecution was instituted under the 43d of, the late King, which 'subjected the prisoner, in the event of being foutuf guilty, to transportation for 14 years. In the month of of the Present. year, two persons, named Lobb and . Simeon, ap peared at Berlin, and issued a quantity of the fictitious paper. Being detected, the King of Prussia, having found they were manufactured in England, and in order to put, a step to the deterioration of the currency, SimeOn was sent to England in company with another person, the Inspector • br the Pollee of Berlin, for the purpose of bringing the Manufacturers to: justice, and Voy, the officer, was einployed. In the course -of hiaoh- SerVations the Learned Counsel took occasion to clear the Cha ' rider of Mr. New Man, the 'gentleman who ePoraved and printed.the notes,. from all suspicion of havirw . participated in the fraud, he being merely employed to make a copy of the plates, for which lie was paid '3Ol. and the regular sum for printing thew_ off. Vim. Newman is an engraver, and resides at 2/, Whitegate street, in the City of London ; knows the prisoner ; had a coin:. munication with him in March or the beginning of April; had known him twenty years; had never done btishicss for him before. _ _ _ _ Mr. ANDREWS submitted to the Court, whether this witness stood in such a situation as to aIIOW of his testimony being received ? Mr. Justice lticna.nansosi decided that there was Iss:.l. l e:" . _ • tion to receiving the evidence. Re-examined by Mr. LAW.—The prisoner, on coming to'his shop, said he had a little engeaving for hiin to do, and li/calked the specimen. The copy now produced was one of them. ' On being asked what it was, the prisoner 'it was a Prussian ticket of admission. The only word witness twirl make out on the specimen was the word " Current," and on the .Witnese being about to say,'" for what ?" the prisoner replied, " Gad bless my soul, do you think I am gong= to give you any thing wrong . You know me very well." Witness then entered into. the en gagement to do the plate: The number Wail notsrestricted, the prisoner saying he would have 30,000 if they could be done in the' ime mentioned by hint, but which Witness did not recollect. He then undertook to do 10,000-ir the tirne,.teliich would cost about 301. This included the plates. The prisoner was to pro-, vide his own paper. The paper was included in the estimate, which was about M. a 1000. The order was executed, and 10,000 copies were .struck -off. The order was completed in about a fortnight or three weeks, and theprisoner superintended . the cutting of tfiem, and took them away at various times.— There were.three plates, but the note only required two plates. After the copper-plate engraving was struck off, there was a line of letter-press inserted at the bottom in red ink. The wit ness identified the plates now produced; one was the first plate,, and there were about 7 or 8000 struck from it. The second plate was the front of the notes, and stood the working of the number throughout. The third was the new plate. The line of letter-press was set up by one of the witness's men by the direction of the prisoner. Witness, in the month of August, received a fresh order for 5000 more, which the pthimer said was a " shipping order." The last number was struck off from what remained in the possession of the witness, and same fresh paper furnigied by the prisoner. When l"oy, the'oflicer, came into the shop, 'a number of copies were lying about to dzy,. open to public view. While the work was in progress, the prisoner Called at least 30 times on the witness. A paper now produced was an impression struck off the plates by direction of the pri soner. The, different impressions in the indictment were'struck from the plates produced.- CrOss-examined by Mr. .ANDlit ws.—Called. the prisoner by the name of Goldston. Did not say the tickTts were admissions to a Theatre. The prisoner did not say he wanted a proof for approbation. He took away several at different times. Wit ness thought he did take them away.for aPprobation. Has known the prisoner 20 years. Engraved his shop bills for him. The types are English type.

William Richard Newmank—ls the son of the last witness ; knows the prisoner very well. Ile corroborated the testimony of the last witness, as to the prisoner interfering and cutting the 'edges of the. notes, and suggesting alterations. David Brown, 'a copper-plate printer, employed by Mr. Newman, remembered seeing the • prisoner frequently at his master's house, frequently while the order was going on ; • had seen the priionertrimming the 'note While the order was -going on. Tirnoeity Nolan, an Engraver employed by Mr. Neiman, remembered seeing the prisoner on his master's premises. Mr. Sniitherthan, foreman td Messrs. and Co.'of Maid stone, paper makers, produced the moulds from which thoptiper was made., ' Foy, the officer, proved taking a quantity of' paper from the, premises of Mr. Newman, which he produced. Mr. Newman identified the paper as that furnished:by the prisoner. Mr. Smitherman re-examined—Commenced in February to . make up the paper, arid sent up 1000 ; afterwards rect:isreit an order to alter it, and the prisoner came in company With alio; ther person, and selected some paper as to substance, and some, as to colour, and also directed the water mark to be'made more perfect. The witness identified the paper produced. lie exe cuted about 26,000 sheets, each being for double notes; heard the prisoner Say that 'some person (a planter) abroad wished to use them in lieu Of money. Cross-examined by Mr: ADOLPHUS—The person in COlll-• pany with the prisoner spoke tohini, but witness did not know, what language it was ; they conversed together in a -foreign language; had never seen the person in question si nce they came on that day to the mill, which lie thinks .was the 20th or '2lst of March.
