SIR ROBERT WILSON.

Vtateres, Nov. 12.—His Majesty the Emperor Alexander,
by a formal Ukase, has deprived Sir Robert Wilson, on
account of his late conduct, of all the orders and decora-
tions which he had conferred on him for his former
services. it is believed that this example will be followed
by other Courts. Our readers know that Prussia has
taken a similar step.—(Hamburgls papers, 25th Nov )
Nov. 18.—The Court Gazelle contains the following
resolution,like that in the Prussian State Gazette :

" His Imperial Majesty has convinced himself th .t
Robert Wilson, formerly British ►Major General, has render-
od himself totallyunworthyof the Austrian military insignia
fronted him at a former period, for the bravery shown by
on various occasions on the field of battle, by his sub-
sequent active connexions with the agitators and revolu-
tionists in several countries, by the steps and actions
notoriously done in their support, and has therefore been
pleased to declare that the said Robert Wilson has forfeited
those insignia, and has issued his commands to the
Chsncery of the Order to erase his name from the list
of the members."

AMERICAN NEWS.
THE PURCHASE OF THE CASABAS ! ! !
BOSTON, Nov. 5—A question of great magnitude has
been agitated in the Atlantic papers, relative to the free
navigation of the river St. Lawrence, an 4 the transfer
Of the Canadas. It has been proposed to open negotiations
immediately with the British, to obtain this right. and in
case of failure, to purchase the Capadas. Should negocia.
tions be opened, we are inclined to believb they would
terminate favourably, if we urge the principle, successfully
contended for by the British Government is her treaties
with other European Powers, that a nation inhabiting the
bank or banks of a river, above. has the right to ascend or
descend it, from and to the ocean—even through the
territory of other Powers. Several treaties,we believe,have
been made by the British Government, in which this prin-
ciple was expressly recognized, and it would be singular
indeed. lc they should deny to us what they have exacted of
Other I otters, in relation to the navigation of a stream,
which constitutes for such a considerable distance the
boundary line between us. On the subject of the purchase
of the Canada+, we cannot, with the Editors of the
Infelii-
fencer say, we are opposed to it in toto. On a question of
such moment, we are not, at present, prepared to express
an opinion. We have long since felt convinced. however,
that we should at least own the country on the south side
of the St. Lawrence, from the outlet of Lake Ontario to the
ocean.

By letters from Buenos Ayres, dated Aug. 22, and re-
ceived yesterday, we lament to find that the dispute between
the British Commander and the Authorities of the State
bad encreased instead of being settled. Captain Willisb ad
issued the following notice:—
_ _ _

" His lifejesty's ship Brazen, Aug. 22, 1823.
"It is the intention of Captain Willis not to allow any
vessels to pass is or out of the harbour. haring the flag of
Buono. Ayres, until satisfaction ii given bim for the in-
sults offered to the British flag and himself ; but has no
Intention to molest private individuals, or interfere with a
rereiga nag."
