ed the Editor of a morning paper to offer 201. in his
name, in aid of a subscription to indemnify Sir R.
Wilson fertile resources of which he has been deprived
by ministerial malice, on account of his independent
principles and humane exertions. We cannot, says
the Editor, better state the object of our reverend cor-
respondent than by transcribing time first words of his
letter :—" As a minister of the gospel and a friend
to the operation of law, instead of military interference
without law, I beg that my name may be immediately
pat down fur twenty pounds (which shall be forth-
coming when a committee of management shall be ap-
pointed) as a subscription for Sir Robert Wilson, for
the purpose of purchasing an annuity, or being die-
posed of in any other beneficial way for this brave and
generous man, whose object, in the conduct for which
he suffers, was to prevent the shedding of blood, and
to honour the memory of an injured and magnani•
mous Queen." The letter concludes by the esprit,-
sion of a wish of the reverend writer that he could
afford 2,0001. instead of 201.
