SIR ROBERT WILSON.

Tlie following is the Address of Sir RoBERT Wt LSON
to his Constituents, on quitting England, to give his
aid to the Spanish-cause :

" TO THE ELECTORS Olif THE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK.
" Gentlemen—ln aU the intercourse I have held with you, I
have invariably found you animated, not snerely.by a love of
freedom, but disposed to adopt the most enlarged and enlightened
views of its relations with the general state of tpe world. It
would be an insult, then, to your understanding and your feel-
ings, if I were to express a doubt of the concern you take in the
cause of Spain, not only as the issue may affect the brave people
of that country, but the liberty and Interests of your own.
" The battle, for the right of nations to change or improve
their Governments, is commenced on the Spanish soil.
" Circumstances have authorized me to presume my presence
in that field may be welcome to the defenders of those rights.
I go tben—not to gratify any personal (which, in the actual state
of things, would be an inglorious) ambition—l go, not to mingle
with civil dissensions, in which it would not become any foreigner
to engage, except he could act the part of a pacificator—but I at-
tach myself to the fortunes of Spain in the hour of her pressure
and *peril, prepared to share her toils; and I trust I may prove
as emulous as any oilier defenders to participate in her dangers.
In taking this step, I am making many painful and embar-
rassing domestic sacrifices ; but I trust I am not subjecting myself
to any public censure: I may act in opposition to the temporary
policy adopted by the Government, but I ant sure I do not de-
ceivesuyself when I say, that I shall be the representative of the
feelings and whites of my coustituents and countrymen.
"' Under the uncertainty of the duration of my absence, I
have dot taken any step to restore the trust confided in me, and
I have been influenced to forbear from other considerations
than those of a personal nature. lat one time entertained great
scruples on account of any detriment which might arise to the
local interests of Southwark in the House of Commons from my
absence; but they have been removed by the friendship of Mr.
'Janice, who has offered his services whenever they can be
consideretinseful ; and I feel confident that his zeal and activity
will prove
sto you that I have sufficiently provided for the due
execution of that portion of my Parliamentary trust.
" I do, however, submit• myself entirely to your direction ;
and you have only to communicate your wishes to be obeyed by
one who will ever remember with pride, affection, and gratitude,
' your patriotism, kindness, and confidence.
" With the sincerest regardi believe me, Gentlemen, your
faithful and obedient servant, - R. 'l'. WILSON.
" Regent-street, April 42, 1823."
