Sir Robert Wilson's secret history of theRussian campaign of 1812. We made a brief notice of this work, with extracts, l Sebastiani to draw up a counter statement. This book of Wilson's, and the vile abuse of the English press, had great inflt was supposed, upon the rupture of the treaty of Amiens. Wilson, it was said, was deceived by one Roworth, a printer, who ous crimes attributed to General Bonaparte.--It was not in Wilson's nature to examine very strictly anything which tended toin 1803, but as the English sent no army to the continent, Wilson, no doubt much to his discomfort, was compelled to remain rn of Napoleon from Elba, and his defeat at Waterloo, Sir Robert Wilson won the applause of all Europe, by assisting Lavalett. France declared war against the Spanish Cortez in 1823. Wilson immediately repaired to Spain, and entered the service of d the Orders which they had bestowed on him. Such was Wilson. He figured no more in public life that we recollect, but

Resolution of Inquiry. Mr. Wilson, of Harrison, offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the Committee on Federal Relations be instructed to inquire into the expediency of providing for the Border State Conference, as recommended by the report of the majority of that Committee, and a Conference with the authorities of the Confederated States, as recommended by one of the reports; and a commission to each of the non-slaveholding States, to invite the authorities thereof to initiate such proceedings as will be acceptable to the slaveholding States now in the Union, and to the Confederated States. Referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Amendment proposed. Mr. Boyd, of Botetourt, offered the following which was referred to the Committee of the Whole and ord
Sir Robert Wilson's Pesthumons work. We are very well aware that in the opinion of certain writers and critics, who profess to tell us all about the wars of Napoleon everybody is to be believedds were made up to dispossess the Marshal of his authority if he should incredibly persevere. "--Wilson, 183. He then goes on to say that Kutusoff admitted, in a private interview, that he knew her peace or an armistice." Now, we are simple enough to believe Napoleon in preference to Sir Robert Wilson, not withstanding the elaborate dramatic machinery which he has introduced into his narratontholon, page 232. Let us now turn to the closing paragraph of Blackwood, in its notice of Wilson's work: "It is now ascertained beyond all doubt that the frightful losses sustained by thebut Rostopchin dreamed of burning Moscow — not even the Emperor Alexander, or Kutusoff, or Sir Robert Wilson. The 630,000 men that the Magazine talks about never existed. The 250,000 men it talks ab
