To Sir R. Wilson, M. P.

No. 2.—ANSWER.
Si it,—The letter of your Royal Highness, dated the 15th of
September, was delivered into my hands this morning by his
Excellency Sir Charles Stuart. After the interview I had with
Sir Herbert Taylor, tour Royal Highness's Secretary, on the
morning of die 21st of August, in which I shoed my personal
desire to meet and challenge inquiry into the calumnies and mis-
representations notoriously circulated, together with the motives
of my ffirbearance, until officially called upon, from giving in
my syttentent of the conduct I felt it my duty to pursue on the
11 t Mt. when :tut-11011'g the funeral procession of her late Ma-
jvsty, 1 could not hat be greatly ustonisluxl to find the news•
paper statements of my dismissal from the service, without any
inquiry or previous communicadon of alleged charges thus
officially confirmed. But I still appal with confidence to his
Majesty's scusc of justice, that he will grant my application tier
the institution of some military court, before which I may have
an opportunity to vindicate myself, and prove the falsehood of
those accusations, whatever they may be. which have disposed
his Majesty to remove me from an army in which I litae served
twenty-nine years, and in which I have purchased czery com-
mission, with the exception of the junior one. I await at Paris
your Royal highness's answer; but shall be ready to appear
beffire coy court of inquiry, ur court-martial, at the earliest
notice.
I have the honour to be,
Yore* Royal Highness's obedient servant,
Paris, Sept. 20, Intl. ROBERT WILSON.

18, Regent Strret, Pall 3101, Oct. 9, 1821.
GENTLrMEN,-1 feel it to he my duty to lay before you the
copy of a letter which 1 athlressed to his Royal lligline,s the
Duke of York, immediately on my arrival in England, with
copy of his Itoya Highness's answer.
I am, gentlemen, your very obliged servant,
To the Electots of Southwark. It. WILSON.

Rcgott Street, Oct. 8. 1821.
SIR,—I have had the honour of receiving your Royal High.
ness's answer to my letter of the teeth ult., in which after cont.
plaining that I had been rest ioved from the army without a htatring,
and without even a statement of any charge against me, I res-
pectfully demanded an investigatioa of my conduct either by a
sour of e,,quiry or court martial. Ilis Majesty's ministers have
advised their Soveteign to refuse this request, and thus I find
myself, after so many years of service, subjected to the severest
punishment which can be inflicted upon a British officer, without
being told of what I am accusal.
To defend myself against charges which, if they exist at all
in a tangible shape, arc studiously concealed from me, is evidently
impossible. I can neither conjecture their illative nor by whom
they are preferred, uor on whose s atements, misrepresentations,
sir fancies they may rest ; whilst this concealment gives a sanction
to every latitude of surmise which folly or malice may indulge.
It is true I hate seen in the papers, and heard by tumours in
society, a variety of things imputed to me, and suggested as the
grounds of my dismissal; hut I declare upon my honour, that
every one of these allegations is utterly flax, and that in every
instance where mention of mune- has enabled me to trace those
statements to their supposed sources, their falseliotsl has either
been at once exposed and acknowledged, or they have been dis-
avowed by the pa.ti,s said to have noule them.
Those who have proceecle-I to punish nie without either trial
or hearing, or accusation, render it impossible to give a more
precise contorliction, until they shall be pleased to inform sue
what I have done, or what has been whispered against me.
But I once mote earnestly beseech your Royal Highness to
institute, in whatever way shall lie deemed the must startling,
a ii;,•orous investi:,ation otevery part of my conduct.
Your Royal Ilighne.is is well aware, that before toy dismissal
I was, beyond all doubt, subjext to martial law ;and if it be now
said I ant nu longer in this ptedicanient, I desire to wave all
objections to the jurisdiction of a military tribunal, in order that
no oltstuvle may be inter) had to the inquiry widen 1 covet. It is
with unfeigned reluctance that I again presume to remind your
Royal Highness of tho-e services which you were finaterly
pleased to acknowledge ; but the swinge situation in which I ant
nos, a untuxuuntabiy placed, compels nit to rifer your Itoyul
Highness to your lettet of the 24111 o January. 1815, and the
doeuinents to which it relates, its further support of my claims to
justice on the present occasion, I have the honour to be,
Your Royal Highness's most obedient servant,
It. WILSON.

horse Guards, Oct. 8, 1821.
i have to ocknowkdge tha rec;:ipt of your letter of yes-
terday, urging again an investigation into your conduct, to, winch
I can unly rei ly, that havrig laid your for.ner application betine
his Alajt:.ty, and communicated to you his Majesty's sentiments
upon it, I do nut consider wytelf warranted to take any further
step. I am, Sir, yours,

Sir Robert Wilson.

A few clays since n man, named Dcbrais, was
accused belbre the Court of Assize at Paris, of hav-
ing uttered the cry of Vine Empereur ! —The Jury,
with wonderful sapience, discovered that the cry
was uttered :After their once adored Emperor was
dead, and Dcbrais was discharged. It is said the
Paris Cockneys now indulge themselves in exclaim-
ing. De gade de curer—Lung live the Emperor !
The Police fret at this, but cannot interfere.—
Wllibt. the Emperor was alive it was a crime•—now
it is a juke.
