intended more to punish an opposer of their ineasnres,
and a supporter of the ltte ever to he lamented Queen
than for the benefit of the public service ; nor caa we
consider that advice upon any grounds to be jut,

without an opportunity having been given for bis
defence, tending as it has to deprive Sir Robert
Wilson of his Commission, for which-he paid aimed&
of 5000/., and after having rendered the most emimet
services to Isis Country for nearly 25 years, during the
most eventful period of our history.
That in order to send forth the opinions of the Eke.
tors of Southwark, of the manliness, humanity, and is.
dependence of Sir Robert Wilson, and their abhorrence
of persecution in every Ahape, it is expedient that I
public subscription be entered into in order to indemnify
him for the pecuniary loss the late measure is calculated
to occasion, and to prove to the world that his comfit&
ants and the people of England do (even in these times)
to protest against arbitrary power, and will support
an injured and high minded individual.
That it is highly expedient to invite a public sieellag
of the Independent Citizens of London, and such Noble►
men and Gentlemen of the county as may feel• disposed
to attend, as soon as possible, for the purpose of further•
ing the objects of this meeting.
That the thanks of the present meeting be respect•
fully offered to the Right Hon. Lord Mayor of the city
of London, for his kindness in granting the permission
to the electors of Southwark to use the Town•balh•ahee
the High Bailiff had refused, officially, to *hoe or
sanction a public meeting.

The following is a copy of Sir Robert Wilson's
letter, declining the Subscription.
