CORRSSPONDSNCR RETWIIIIN SIR ROBERT WILSON AND:
IRS COMNIANDIR-IN-CHILf.
18, Regent-street, Pall-mall, Oct. 9, 1921. •
Overltstaw—l feel It to be my duty to lay before yool
the copy of a letter which I addressed to his Royal
Highness the Duke of York immediately on my arrival
in England, with a copy of his Royal Highness's au-
swer.--4 am, Gentlemen, your very obliged servant,
To the Electors of Southwark. R. WILSON.
Regent-street, Oct. 8, 1921.
Stn—l have bad the honour of receiving your Royal
Highness's answer to my letter of the 20th oft. in whieb,
after complaining that 1 bad been removed from the
army without a hearing, and without even the statement
of any charge against me, I respectfully demanded ao
investigation of my conduct, either by a Court of In-
quiry or Court Martial.
His Majesty's Ministers have advised their Sovereign
to refuse this request, and thus I find myself, after so
many years of service, subjected to the severest punish-
ment which can be inflicted upon a British Officer, *kb-
out being told of what I am accused.
To defend myself against charges, which, if they eist
at all in a tangible shape are studiously concealed from
me, is evidently impossible. I can neither conjecture
their motive, nor by whom they are preferred, nor on
whose statements, misrepresentations, or fancies they
may rest, whilst this concealment gives a sanction to
every latitude of surmise in which malice or folly may
indulge.
It is true I have seen in the Papers, apd heard hy ru-
mours in society, a variety of things imputed to me and
suggested as the grounds of my dismissal, but I declare,
upon my honour, that every one of these allegations is
utterly false, and that in every instance where the men-
tion of names bas enabled me to trace those statements
to their supposed sources, their falsehood has either
been at once exposed sod acknowledged, or they have
been disavowed by the parties said to have made them.
Those who have proceeded to punish me without either
trial or bearing, or accusation, render it impossible to
give a more precise contradiction, until they shall be
pleased to inform me what 1 have done, or what Ws
been whispered against me.
But I once more earnestly beseech your Royal High-
ness to institute, in whatever way shall be demist the
most searching, a rigorous investigation of every part
of my condutt.
Your Royal Highness is well aware. that below my
slissosissal, I was, • kalsisioct.tikesekkial
law r and if it be now said, .14u* spleager is this
predicament I desire to wave objections to tbe juris-
diction of a Military Tribunal, in order that no obstacle
may be interposed to the inquiry which I court.
It is with unfeigned reluctance that I again presume
to remind your Royal Highness of those services which
you were formerly pleased to acknowledge; but the
strange situation in which I am now so unaccountably
laced, compels me to refer your Royal Highness to your
letter of the 24th of Jan. 1815, and the documents to
which it relates, in further support of my claims to jus-
tice on the present occasion.
I have the honour to be your Royal Highness's most
obedient servant, R. WILSON.
Horse Guards, Oct. 9,1821.
Sta—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
of yesterday, urging again an investigation into your
conduct ; to which I can only reply, that having laid
your former application before his Majesty, and commu-
nicated to you his Majesty's sentiment, upon it, I do not
consider myself warranted in taking any further step.
I am, Sir, your's,
FAIDSRICK, Commander-in-Chief.
Sir Robert Wilson.

Tn. Pux MEDICAL:A gentleman, who was in
' the habit of taking pills for his amusement, was coati•
Dually changing them ; on which a friend remarked,
that he resembled the capital of Turkey, as he was

This medical Conundrum, bad as it is, is sot quite
so bad as another of which it reminds as. At the time
the Manchester cavalry were in Liverpool, a gentle-
man, who is a most inveterate punster, was touch an-
noyed, at a very late boar one night, by the mewiug
of cats on the top of the house; and, being unable
to sleep, he amused himself by making a string of co-
nundrums, which, if published, might make good the
words of one of our satyrists.
" Sleepless hiseself, to give his readers sleep."
Take one of the list as a sample:—Why yobs owed
eats like the Pbterloo heroes ? Auswer--becanse they

Mr. C. Kenibk, it is said. is likely to make a thea-
trical trip to America, if be should sok settle his dif-
fermis with the Covent Barden managers.
