THE LONDON JOURNALS.

D DY Fa TRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS,

September 19.

EMORNING CHRONICLE.]
The Ministerial Papers availed themselves with
avidity of the report of a conspiracy at Saragossa
to establish a Republic, published in the French
Papers. The circumstances which gave rise to
this report are detailed in a letter from Irun of
the 7th instant, and the whole appears to be
nothing more than an intrigue of the Political
Chief to deprive Riego of his situation as
Military Commander of the province of Arra-
gon. Suspicions are indeed said to have been
entertained at Madrid with respect to the con-
duct of Riego, but nothing is stated to show
how far they were justified ; and Riego, in a
published address, appeals boldly to circumstances
not easily reconcilable with unconstitutional
views.—lle complains of " having been deprived,
in the most irregular manner, of the military
command of the province—a measure produced
by_ the most atrocious calumny ;" and he tells his
companions in arms, " You are witnesses of the
constitutional doctrine -which I have sought to
inculcate in your minds, in general parades, in
patriotic Societies, in the Church even, where by
means of your Chaplains I caused the advantages
of our immortal Code to be explained to you."—
What do our Ministerial Writers mean by raising
such an outory on the occasion of every petty
disturbance which takes place in Spain ? Do
they mean that nations languishing under
the most insupportable tyranny, must make
no effort to break their chains, because
after a great convulsion a perfect calm can-
not immediately be produced ? If the distur-
bances in Spain were a hundred fold more se-
rious tltan what they are, the benefits of the Re-
volution would still" be cheaply purchased at the
exlience of them. The wildest anarchy even is
preferable to such a despotism as that of the late
Government of Spain ; for anarchx i o
p unnatural
fifitg
state of things, which cannot be continu-
ance. There is but too much reiso to fear that
the most wicked means are now re orted to for
the purpose of producing in Spain what may serve
to give a handle to the enemies of liberty. We
think-Are can perceive something like the prac-
tices resorted to by the base emigrant faction of
France in the commencement of its Revolution.
Time will soon shew whether thereis any ground
for our suspicion.

[NEW Timus.l
We have been disappointed in our expectation
that Sir Robert Wilson would immediately take
some public notice of the two paragraphs respect-
:ing him in The Morning Chronicle and Courier.
'The world in general will couple those para-
grlptis together ; and will be inclined to think
thit. the One throws a light on the other.—
The fact, that Sir Robert has been remov-
ed from his Majesty's service, is uo longer
doubtful : it appears in the shape of a Me-
morandum in the Gazette ; but, of course,
nothing more is there stated, than that the'
king has been pleased to remove him from the
service ; the reasons which may have induced
the Government to adopt such.a proceeding are
not specified, nor could they he expected to be
so. A few days will probably render them suf-
ficiently obvious. In the mean while, it is some-
what curious to observe the apparent confusion
into which the Chronicle is thrown by a measure
which it evidently did not expect. This cir-
cumstance is very much like the disagreeable
"Surprise of The Times, on finding itself indicted
by Mr. Sharp! By the bye, the entire silence
which that Journal keeps on an occurrence so
interesting to its readers, is hardly fair to: them.
--Those who took part in its exultation over
the supposed defeat of the Constitutional As-
tociation and their Assistant Secretary, will
doubtless sympathise with it in "the rueful dis-
covers, that the exultation was premature.—
But to return to Sir Robert 'Wilson. The
Chronicle evidently conceives that his removal
from the. Army is but a preparatory step to still
more serious- measures.. It says that " designs
of an important nature are obviously in the con-
templation of Ministers." Whether this be
meant as a. fishing paragraph, we know not : and
for our own part we are only disposed to answer
it hypothetically; We say, then, that if from.
" the examinations" which the Chronicle tells
us, " have been lately going on," any thing has
transpired to fix on one or more individuals the
guilt of plotting an opposition to the King's
forcos likely to . lead to bloodshed, m e think
Ministers would betray their duty to the country
if they did not prosecute the offenders with the
utmost rigour of the law.

DionsiNG POST.] -
Sir Robert Wilson had been honoured by the
substantial approbation of his Sovereign ;- and for
this the gallant Officer professed the warmest
gratitude. In Parliament, however, he Was
always foremost when .the King's Ministers were
to. he attacked ; and, in the steadiness of his
..op-
position. to them, we cannot deny that he' pos-
sessed the merit of consistency. Yet, is it to be
&opposed .that Ministers felt any resentment, for
the. Parliamentary Opposition of Sir Robert
Wilson ? Not -they . indeed—very different
causes than those arising out of his conduct in
Parliament have led to his dismissal from the
Army. His behaviour on a recent occasion,
When he appeared in front of a lawless rabble
who• wantonly assailed his brother .soldiers,
would alone have been sufficient to call for
the severest military punishment.
~ It will
hardly be denied that the appearance of
General Officer in such a situation must ,have
tended to encourage the ignorant portion of
the mob in their excesses, and that it was com-
pletely subversive of military discipline..-7-
When the Guards were attacked, as they were
on the 14th of August, by a gang of ruffians, his
should have been the arm to assist them, though
indeed these gallant fellows-had no need of such
assistance. If, however, it has so happened that
the,conduct of Sir Robert Wilson, on the day in
question) was not confined to the overt acts which

Were witnessed by the whole metropolis—if he
took a more deliberate and-calculating part in thq
mischief of that day, and availed himself of his
professional knowledge to plan'the obstruction
which ultimately succeeded in turning off the
Civil Power and the Military, and. defeating the
orders of his Sovereign, few, we- think, would
be found hardy enough to say that he was
either fit or worthy to remain in the service.
We shall touch but slightly on this part of
the subject; and we dismiss it with the ob-
servation, that, in,general, no Officer is deprived
of his commission without a previous inquiry on
the subject matter of complaint. We have no
reason to believe that the ordinary course has
been departed from in this instance ; and we ra-
ther think that the best friends of Sir Robert
Wilson will advise him to be silent on the sub-
ject, unless they have a better defence to make
than that which appeared yesterday in the lead-
ing Print of the Whig Radicals, and which
merely stated that a coffee-house-keeper had
been called before certain Magistrates, and
" told that information had reached his Majes-
ty's Government, that Sir Robert Wilson had
attended
,a private meeting at the coffee-house hi
question, and that at such meeting the obstruc-
tions to her late Majesty's funeral were planned,"
to which the tavern-keeper had replied, that
" Sir Robert Wilson had never been in- his
house," and that the meeting was not a private
but a public one.
