WHERE IS JOHN WILKES ?

(TO THE EDITOR OF TIM SPECT.A.TeR.1 SIR,—Can you, or any of your readers, tell me aught of John Wilkes, who, in 1838, was domiciled in Paris? His house was at Passy, the one which Benjamin Franklin occupied. He wrote with the signature of "0. P. Q." for London newspapers and magazines, often on opposite sides, for the Morning Chronicle and Standard, for Tait and Fraser. He had the run of Paris, and was accustomed to call on David, the sculptor. His father was at the time living in London. What became of him? Is he living, and is there any sketch of him anywhere ?—I am, Sir, &c.,
