SIR ROBERT WILSON.

The French Ministerial paper has the
following speculation upon the treatment
of Sir Robert Wilson, should he fall into
the hands Of the French 8
"I'he English Journal, the Courier,
lasks what we shall do with Sir Robert
Wilson, in case he should fall into our
hands, and whether we would treat him as
an English subject or Revolutionary SOL
|'iier: This is question which really al
fords matter of curious speculation. Eng
land is at peace with France, and she has,
moreover, in the last Session nf Parlla-
ment, passed bill which prohibits any OF
her subjects from entering into the service
of the Belligerent Powers. Thus, Sir
Robert being taken with arms in his hands
could not be claimed by the British Gov
ernment or if he returned to his own
country, he would become liable to the
penalties consequent on the violation oil al
act of parliament, unless acts OF par
liament are to be considered as laws which
merely threaten, but are destitute of ap
plication and force. Now, the parliament
of England never promulgates vain laws
nor does it sllter its DEGREES to be laughed
at. Sir Robert then being taken prisoner
lin what character is he to be considered
'by France? As SpauiarP But allowing
. that he has letters of neutrality, can sucf
, letters be recognized by US: Sir Robert u
notoriously an Englishman, and mrmbe
of parliament besides. Can we admit tha
'he is a citizen of the Republic of the Cor
\ tes, and subject of the Monarchy o
| George w?
: "The truth is, that Sir Robert Wilson
ttaken in arms against us, is neither Span
lard nor Englishman; he is an nnknow
.adventurer, unacknowledged, withou
= country, one who violates the the rights q
:, nations, and who has no other authorlt
for what he does than that which fore
$ gives to the man who has armed himsel
h for the purpose Of assassination. AT SCI
tFhose gentry are called pirates. A cour
i J|martial, according to all the laws OF wa
would be entitled to execute justice upo
Sir Robert.
J. "But he need not fear; the generosit
of France will not belle itself This is. !
all probability, what we should do with 81

n We would send him the best surgeon in tn

D. ford him pecuniary assistance, It he wer

e conveyed with all gentleness to his coui
try, where he might have the pleasure

GREECE.

The Liverpool Mercury says, the ac-
'ounts from Greece are of mixed, but
pom the whole of favourable nature.
6n the one hand it is stated that Seraskier
dahomet Paca had entered Livadia with
is army, and was advancing towards Co
knth; and on the other, that accounts had
cen received confirmatory of the defeat
{ the division of the army of the Pacha OF
bcutari. near Agrapha. 1t is also stated,
That in the late fire at Constantlnople, the
magazines near the arsenal were destroy
kd, and that continual apprehensions were
Entertained of fresh excesses from the IA
hatical mussulmen, who were enraged al
he disastrous course Of public events.
Intelligence had been received at st
Petersburg in August, from Odessa, which
tates that the Porte had made PROPOSE
ions CT peace to the Greeks; he has of
|3ered to give them the same rights as Mol
&lavla and Wallachia but the Greek gov
&rnment have not returned an answer.
\ Letters from ConstantlnOple OF late

"A Konstantinople. The Janissaries and thu
people demanded the removal of some o
fAhc ministers and chiefs. The Dvan hat

FRAUDS IN PACKING GCOTTON.-The mer.

following, as few instances are given.

outside appearance, but containing i'll the centre
1900 lbs of clotted cotton, bearing the appearance
of having been intentionally wet before packing.
One from Pensacola, several bales of which had

from Alabama, containing sticks and quantity

One from North Carolina, bales of a Sill
