from the amirman if or Mr. Pavell was fain
entitled—o" firri a/a pleek." mid he.
The CMISIIIMAN pis it "'pint the imam of
peace, and
Mr. FaVIILL proceeded. After the excellent
and eMostii,utional seldress which they, bed just
heard, it wus plain that mach teat Was aimed him
in commenting on the aotore of the Harsolutions
which he was to hare thy honour to pinpooe. It
was ooly within the last two hours that he was swore
such an honour would have devolved on him.. He
felt that, as an old tinsels, he hid a right to some
where in a meeting every wly worthy of the
drst . city of the empire. He wee moreover
a native of Southwark, surf might oatarally be
supposed to feel um interest in any thing relating to
the Representative of his native place. Another
fording which had nillameged his was. the pride of
elimparating with. band*, ithsratioise and Imookr-
Gentlemeu of such nob and totem as were
• poniemptd by him who thenfilled the chair. He
ensurantlated the meeting on the aid and assistance
derived to their object from the members of the
•litoinie-ef Bedford, and others of those illustilous
political leaders who had. as in other cases; io
warmly taken up this, which he must consider the ,
cause of the people—being the cause of one so folly
entitled to the support of the people, au& whom
the people ought never to neglect. He remembered
with pride baring on many occasions acted with the
father of. the Gentleman then filling the chair io
sopportmf•those rights and liberties, in the defence
of whit% the son was now so honourably engaged.
The Chairman had actively discussed all the great
and leading points of the subject under consideration ;
he inidshewn in eloquent language that highly as Sir
R. Wilson deserved public support for advocating
the cause of the people, he had equally consulted
the honour of the British army. But if the treat-
ment he had suffered were to pass unquestioned
into a precedent, where could the conwry loak for
that high sod honourable elevation of character
which had been displayed in the conduct of the
war ? What Roan of sense and honour would serve
the State in war, and enconuter all the dangers and
difficulties, if he were expected to become a mere
tool and sycophant of -Ministers on his retdru
-home ? Did not such treetnieut say, in language.
not to he misunderstood, to any officer having a
seat in Parliament. end holding a Post dependant
on the will of Ministers, " You most vote with .
me, or we will destroy you if we thri:--(edeert.).
Here was a question, to the importance of which,
if the people were not ,already alive, he was cou-
vinced that the.act of diamirsong Sir Robert Wit-
son woald awaken them to it. It wooldlos seen .
however, that the. people of Engtmid were prepared
to make good the sacrifice which he had comma-
tered from the enmity of bis foes--a asiesillee
which might to have been spared, were it only from
motives, of humanity. It was at the be-t but a,
miserable pittance—half pay. Had he not well
tuned full pay ?...(eheets )—Was it to go forth to
the Allied Sovereigns of Europe that he had
met with 'chic loss from the conduct of Govern-
ment, and that no sense of his public servires
had been sufficient to secure hint requital 1—
" What !" those Sovereigns would say, " is this
Great Britain. of whose magnanimity we have heard
an much? No ! it is Little Britain.—(laughter and
cheers )—These are not the descendants of those
great people who fought for and acquired Magna
Charts and the Bill of Rights, and accomplished
the Revolution of 1688." He hoped yet to see
justice done, and especially in reference to the
transactions of that day, for the exposition of
which in Parliament they had recently received
so secure a pledge from the Chair. His complaint
was. that the character of the soldier was degraded,
as well as the copstitntion being injured, by the
uses to which they were put. They were degraded
into ministers of police; one of the sad symptoms
of the times, which went to thew that if the people.
were not yet alive to it, the comditution was in im-
mediate danger. He attributed the calsmities of
the 14th August to the miserable advice which
bad been sdopted to prevent the Lord Mayor
end Corporation from pitying their last homage
of•faithful respect to the departed Queen. The
Chairman had said enough on the case of the
gallant Member for Southwark. His offence was
• secret to every one, the- gallant oficer who had
been disgraced included. He spoke it with
the feelings of a eoldier: if the public did not
slow step forward and support him with their
respect. life would not be worth enjoying. Let it
be recollected that the cause • involved was that of
the people and the Constitution. and the howler
of the British army was included id the peril. He
trusted that the meeting would he eifeinplary for
temper and good order. • The Resolutions would
be seconded by a Gentleman oho -Ought to have
proposed them. but who had condescendingly de-
ferred to him; being. an old citizen, and iu that
respect only to be considered at fitted for the ho-
nour of moving them ; but when he told them that
the Resolutions would he- seconded by the Hun.
H. G. Bennett—(load cheers)—he felt that he had
said enough on the subject of them. and would
immediately proceed to read them at length, after
which he intended to move the adoption of the first.
He then read the Resolutions, which, with some of
a cursory description subsequently added, were as
follow :

. 1. That the dismissal of Sir Robert Wilma from the army,
. without imusiry, trial, or eves the stateasest of any charge
against kin, is a wanton act of arbitrary power, under the
plea of prerogative, a daring inroad on the principles of the
Coosa duties, and • cruel injustice to a breve, humane, and
meritneiona °Ricer, whore distinguished services to this
country and bee allies, have been repeatedly and solemnly
recognised by every Politer in Europe.
S. That this meeting, as friends of public liberty and the
Constitution of their tawdry, as established at the Itevolu.
ties, willingly embrace this opportuaity of avowing their
abhorrence of soy Administration maiatainieg • lute
standing army in time of peace, and endesvouriag to niake
its Officers Ilse mere creatures of she ?disinter for the time
being.

For that service Sir Robert received kilt fret medal,
which was also the first honour of the kind ever be-
stowed one() English officer. It was Deedless so et,
Over his many arduous and impatient fieYricei, which
connected him with the greater pan of the transact ioos

every country but his own. He bogged pardon—
his own country did honour him-elist the booming
came from the pebplo.-.not from the Minket.
He had been selected by the Electors of South.
wark to represent them in Parliament. The choke
did them honour. Though Cedillas, they had
looked into the army for their selection. There
they found a man of honour. covered with glory--at
soldier of high pripcipie and proud discipline : yet
they knew that he had the feelings of en English-
man as to their iiiterests. He (Alt. Q. Bennett)
had witnessed the conduct of the Gallant Officer
night by night, and, with one eneeption, agreed in
every vote which be had given. He (Sir Roberti
had taken a decided part_ its every question, but
more especially so iathetwhielt. was peculiarly a
public question, the peteryrutisat of else Queen.
He had been cautioned a<, is :danger ; he (Mr.

had 'hewn him that he was Wailing teals of fire
on his own heed ; that he amawskelking a resent-

he took his course boldly ; be awakened that en-
mity, to venture on tie descripaioo of which might *
be dangerous, and to esplain. it was unnecessary.
He did his duty to the (horn during her life ;
he sought to do bet . the last hooones at

instruments of Out day's calamitous transaction.,
