SIR ROBERT WILSON.
This is, according to the vulgar saying, really too bed.
Here is this gossipping Knight of Marie Theresa (an
Austrian Order) recounting, in a meaner the most es-
tentntions, to his constituents of the Borough. for his
evpnlsion from France; and, whith iertainly surpasses
all our very dreams of the persoils of human arsuranee.
actually telling the people of that town, that they
ought to be proud of having for a member a man thus
expelled! In other words, that he bas brought honour
upon them in this way! Mark that( idght's logic: the re-
sidence in France of an individual abhorring vindictive
vy:ltems of Government, and attached to the rights end
liberties of nations, is incompatible with the safety of the
existing French Government; sorb individual most be
expelled: I !Live been expelled: I ay. therefore, attach-
ed to tile rights and liberties of nation,: `and yon have
done yourselves bottom istielecting rue! To lie sore this
is out of all measure ridiculous. Hettelaall the frivolity
of a Monsieur with all the dulness of a Slermaa Knight.
The question is begged, Sir Hobert: ' You draw conch-
sines from assertions, anti net femoral,. Ton were
expelled, not because yen were attached to the rights
and liberties of nations ; but because you were afilyer 1
that is to say, a gossip trope—Rights and liberties of
nations, indeed ! What hire you evil done for the rights
and liberties of Nations? Was it when yen made one of
a hand of volunteers to fight krt . the Emperor of Dee-
many against the republicans of llfslahee 2. Was it when
you were serving in the Rossisus Army against the pear
ple of Femme ? Was it when ytneetree writing the aw I

—However, the Meg chalet
'peel/40mm et,
this moment, is, this matchless nigh' .ln bidding the
electors of the Borough pride thasuelies in harlot
Omen far one of their Member, a man whom the
French Governmeat has expelled, expressly upon the
ground of his being a foyer..-:—.We really shall not
be surprised to hear Sir iltotiax, at last, bid the "!a-
-.j
dependent Electors" pride themselves open the fact, that
they havechosen a man, who never Nees is England if
he can help it ! It is a pretty crumple that he *sets to
half pay tare's and others!' . As for at he can do it, at
any rate, he makes • residence abroad fashionable.
" Public farmer !" " Possessing a distinguished tor-
" lion of public favors!" Where? Why, in France !
Like an actor or an actress ! Verily, Nice a tent char-
latam—The sensible men of the Borough will answer
and see: e Stay at home, Sir Robert. What is the
French Government to vs ? Stay at home ; and act
0 in a way to convince us, that you merit publirfaroirs
" here, in England."

There is a rumour at present prevalent in Ireland,
which, se trust, pros:e well founded. It is well known,
that the Statue of fits° ll'iht.tasi has been used to be
dressed, at certain periods of ihe year, by the ignorant
and furious Orangenzeo as a mark of triumph over the
Catholics. This always occasioned sceneiof violence and
outrage: and it wail Matter of much surprize that the pre.
sent Lard Lieutenant permitted the statue to be dressed
last July, when much wanton insult was offered to the
Catholics by the ,brutal Orangemen. It Is now
confidently stated, dist the status is forbidden to be
dressed on the approaching .4th-40 November ; and
everybittempt tu.sletato tllp imelpAggan wilt as this
part df • die executive government,lte resisted by force
and punishes as so infraction ef.tbe Laws. Tlds
will be perfectly right, and consistent with the duty
which the LORD LILUTRNANT OMfa to this COORISy. It
is now also stated, that the Marques' Wat.t.sahux did
not interfere with the ceremony, in Jnly last, for the
two following reasons :—first, his rontempt fur the folly
of the thing; sed, next, 'ghee its bad conseqnences
began to chew themselves, ids serious doubts of ita
iffegality.—We are greatly surprised at both of these
reasons, as coming from the maseitline and experienced
mind of the Noble Marquess. They were fitted to the
mind of the late Lord I•ONDONDRRRY, and did not
become anything beyond that. The Ally of any prac.
tire, or any maxliu, does not, necessarily, draw out
the sting of its mischief, and nothing is more palpable,
than that the net of decorating Kixo Wthhtaar's statue,
as it wus always practised, led, inevitehly, to breaches
of tile l'esce. We are glad the noble Marquess has
now found out, chat was plain enough to common
sense before; and we hope, he UM begin his Govern.
mem of Ireland afresh. sad with better success.

Ilia Majesty it is Kii.l intends disposing of his resi-
dence at West Cower, in the Isle of Itright, the house be.
ing too small for the secosumolation of his Diajesty and
the Roysi snite.
