The Journal des Debats gravely examines the
question, how Sir ROBERT WILSON is to be treated
when he is captured by the French—in a celebrated
work on cookery, the directions to dress a carp
begin with the sagacious advice, " first catch your
carp." The Editor of the Journal des Debats
thus reasons the matter :—" What will Sir ROBERT
WILSON be, as to France, if taken ?—A Spaniard?
But supposing he has letters of naturalization, Can
they be recognized ? Sir ROBERT is notoriously
English, being a Member of Parliament?—Can
it be admitted that he is a citizen of the Republic
of the Cortes, and a subject of the monarchy of
GEORGE IV.? The truth is, that Sir ROBERT, taken
in arms against us, in contravention of the laws of
his country, would be neither a Spaniard nor as
Englishman: he would be an unknown adventurer,
without country—violating the laws of nations, with
no other right than that given by force to an armed
man. At sea these people are called pirates,. A
Council of War, according to all military laws,
would do justice to Sir Roarter WILSON. But
we may be assured that French generosity would
not disgrace itself. Sir Rossetti. would probably
become our prisoner. The best army surgeon
would be sent to him if he were wounded, and money
given to him if he needed it, and he would be coo•
veyed to hiscountry, where he might write and speak
as ill of France as he pleased. We do not fear his
arms, we do not read his pamphlets, uor do we tide
lessons from his speeches.
The Journal des Debals of Tuesday contains a trans-
lation of the statement which appeared in The Cas•
rier of Saturday, and subjoins the following. remarlor
