FOR THE SUN. BRITISH OAK. MR. EDITOR,--I in common with my neighbours, much obliged 'to you, for dedicating 'a pant of 'your columns to the communications of your - country readers ; for though they' are not qualified to enter into literary Competition with many of your Correspondents,- yet they are ena bled, from their experience, freqtiently to com municate much useful infohnation Or! interesting 31a-tronal topics. Your attention to 'the Agricul tural and ether great interests of the 'country, 'lllernands our thanks; and .as you probably have in your power to give us some satisfactory'rea sOn, why the litsG'.s Ministers continue to expend such large sums of money, annually in the par - - chase of Timber froni Dalmatia, Sierra Leone, St.c. kc!. when the best English Oak Timber of fifty feet meetings may be purchased at little more than seven pounds'sterling per load, in situ -alions the most convenient for water carriage to the great naval arsenals, I am induced to trouble you with this letter. The system appears to be -the reverse of that Which shotild be pursued, in the - •present state of the private woods in this kingdom. It holds out no encouragement to the Landholders to plant ; and when it is recollected -that the recent Plantations which have been made:in'the Royal Forests will, in half a cen r tury,.. render the public Yards independent•of all • private supply, it surely cannot "be justifiable, especially under the Present depression of- the ,Landed Interest,- to be paying for Foreign Oak aria other Foreign Timber for Ship-building, when there is such a - redundancy of 'fine, full grown Oak in Staffordshire and the adjacent counties, in Sussex and- Ilants, and indeed in all the other Rood districts within the kingdom. •,The delusion which prevailed some time since -has been •satisfactorily dispelled, and the present want of • a market for English Oak confirms the - opinions of Mr. HARVEY, Messrs. DRIVERS, Mr. MARSHALL, Mr. Snooin, and other experienced persons, that there has notbeen for the last 20 years any actual deficiency of Oak Timber fit for naval purposes. • I am led to send you these remarks fr-Om the injury I am sustaining from the want of a market for the Oak Timber on my .estate. Be tween sixty and seventy years ago my ancestors expended considerable sums in extensive Oak Vlantations, in the expectation that they would Le •the, means - of raising fortunes for younger rhildfen ;• but unluckily myself, and many others .sibmilarly circumstanced, cannot now sell our full grown Timber but at very low prices ; and in • this situation must we continue, whilst the -Navy Board are allowed to import Foreign Oak, and so few MerChants' Ships are built. Nor is there a prospect of better time's for us, if we are to believe the Parliamentary Debates and the Reports on a Free Trade ; for if, whilst the re strictive Acts are in force, - so few ships are built &re, we-cannot expect that our condition Will be improved when Foreign Ships are let into a free and full participation in the trade of the' Ern pre. If you doubt what I say respecting the want of a market for our English Oak, I refer you to your other Correspondents in the Oak Districts. I really believe that an eminent liar., who some years since bought a large estate in Shropshire with an immense quantity of Oak upon it, has not been able to sell any con siderable quantity of it ; and that, whatever he may have, sold, it was at a very low price. I am one of the last men in the world to complain of the acts of the Go yernment ; but really they should look to this important subject and afford every relief they can to the Landed Interest. The small quantity of . timb 3r now used in the King's yards negatives any necessity of this preference of foreign timber ; supposing a little more in price is paid for the 1.:11g1,:sh, surely, it is to be justified in the pre sent state of the Kingdom. Another thing should be done by the Govern ment ; they should require the Navy Board to contract for Oak timber, by open- competition ; by public tender ; and not as they ha - ve done for the last quarter of a century. The Ordnance Board always adopt the former *mode, and have invariably received the best woad at a fair average price. These remarks are not invidiously made ; -they proceed from an individual %vho has the misfortune to possess large' plantations of full grown. oak ; for which he cannot obtain an ade- guate price ; and who, consevently is obliged, coupled with other circumstances, to submit to many' privations.

When alienated front reason, I thought, like my an ees-tOrs, that the King. was the legitimat e L or d o f t h e.nat i on; I then With pleasure exposed my life in his defence : but now - that the immortiil Quiroga and Riego have, with their free dom-bearing arms, discovered the imprescriplible titles of the nation,• I have become convinced that the Spanish and the American people equally possess the right - of 'establishing a Government 'consistent with their own opinions, and for their own prosperity. _ My old coniracles in arms !—The Spanish Constitution ex• eludes you, under the pretext of being .

SOLEM QUIS DICERE F-ILSUM• ,lUDEAT LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUdRY 2, 1821. Pails Papers pf Tuesday last have come to Court of Peers and Chamber of De uties were extraordinarily convoked on Mon- day, to - re . ceive communication from his MA JESTY respecting the explosion in the Palace of the Tuileries'on Saturday last. The communi cation to the House of Peers was made by the Duke de itictiEttEu, and that to the Chamber of Deputies by the Keeper of the Seals. • The particulars are the-same as those stated in -our columns yesterday, and the Keeper . of the Seals . . concluded .his communication in the following, • words " Such an attempt committed iii the interior of the Palace of our Kings, and in the midst of faithful servants, by whom his Majesty and the Royal Family are always surrounded, displays a spirit of wickedness and audacity attacking all that is , dear and sacred to France, and expres sive of a wish to perpetuate those disquietudes and alarms, the existence of which was but too evident from the lamentable catastrophe which the short interval of a year has not ,yet erased from our memory. The King, convinced that ail that concerns the safety of his person and that of his Family, as well as the respect due to their Residence, deeply interests the Chambers and the Nation, and desirous of tran quillizing the fears which this event has naturally, excited, has commanded is to lay the whole of the circumstances before you. The most active and energetic means have been, and continue to be adopted to discover the authors of this daring violence ; and with regard to the perturbed spi rit which inspires such criminal attempts, it will be subdued by the certainty that all its efforts will be vain and useless against the unalterable and unsh'aken fidelity of the Nation and the Chambers, and the durable union existing be tween them and the King." The Chamber of Deputies was more nume rously attended than on any preceding day dur. ing the present Ses4ons, and the communication was followed by the most lively demonstrations of loyalty. Addresses from both HOuses were unanimously voted to his MAJESTY, expressive of their devotion and attachment to the Throne, and ordered to be presented by Grand Deputations from each House. On Tuesday his Majesty received Gentlemen in the morning, and Ladies in the evening. Letters of the 12th ult. from Naples, mention that the - PRINCE REGENT has ordered the for mation of a corps of volunteer cavalry in the Abruzzes, to be taken from the National Guard. General PEPE writes word from these provinces :that he expects to succeed in raising eighteen battalions of Militia, which, disciplined like the soldiers of antient Rome, shall be capable of con tending against the most experienced troops. AccOunts of th e 17th u lt. f rom Vi enna , sta t e , that since the arrival of the King of NAPLES at Laybach no doubts are entertained of approach. ; ing hostilities. At the same time that the Ails trian army passes the Po, the fleet at Venice has orders to proceed to sea and protect the military operations of Austria on the coasts of the Adriatic. The 'English General, CHURCH, who, on the sanguinary day of the 17th of July last, com manded the Sicilian troops at Palermo, has been tried by a Court-Martial at Naples, acquitted, and set at liberty. FRENCH FUNDS. Jan. 29.—Fire per Cents Bl f., 40 c. Bank Stuck. Though Mr. H. Sumstu renewed his amend ment last night in the House of Commons, for a reduction of the Income intended for Tier MA JESTY to 30,000/. instead of 50,0001. the Op position advocates for. economy, with their usual inconsistency, gave him no support, notwithstand ing the distressed state of the Country, and that the ' demand on the part of THE QUEEN for expences attending her Defence,are calculated to amount to upwards of 100,000/., 50,000/. of which have already been advanced to her !! ! Surely this utter contempt of their own repeated calls for economy will open the eyes of all their admirers, and shew the nation at large what may be expect ed from Patriots so free in demands of national economy, and so reluctant to promote it. Mr. DENMAN, last night, instead of sneering at Lord LOWTHER for accepting the challenge of Alderman Woon as to BERGAMI'S mode of living in Paris, should have been able to contradict his ordahip's statement. The fact is, that BERGAN did live en Prince during his late visit to Paris, and that Couriers were repeatedly sent to him from this Country, and at a considerable expence. Lord LOWTHER is not likely to hazard any un founded assertion.—As to Mr. WOOD, he should obtain better information before Mr. DENMAN pins his faith on the Alderman's thread-bare sleeve, The line of policy Which Ministers have adopted in relation to the present state of affairs in Europe, is said to be another dangerous point they have yet to weather. The prudence and discretion which have, however, hitherto guided the, measures of the present Cabinet in the conduct of our foreign relations, will, we doubt not, enable them not only to overcome those difficulties which have unavoidably- arisen from the occurrences that have lately taken place in the South of Italy— but, from the harmony and good understanding which Ministers have so uninterruptedly main,' tained between Great ~ B ritain and her Allies, the efforts we feel convinced, they will consider it as their duty to make for the preservation of general tranquillity, cannot, we should hope, fail of being productive of the happiest result. We are as ready as any of our. contemporaries to hail with the utmost satisfaction every wise and vo- iuntary improvement, which may at any time take place in the internal administration of the government of a friendly-State,,..tendhig to con firm the independence, and conducive to the - true interest and happiness of the people. (the spirit of revolution appearing, from experience, to be so very 46 epidemic !") the late events at Naples, as well as in other quarters, must be al loWed l7y dB, excepting such as only delight in anarchy and confusion, to have afforded just grounds, at least of apprehension, to these powers whose possessions were most immediately con tiguous .to the seat o f revo lution : and, a ft er the-long and arduous struggle, during which we have had ourselves; in common with the other nations of Europe, to contend for nothing less than our very existence as akindependent nation, we think few will be- disposed in fairness to con test that it. was too much to expect that 'those Powers should consequently adopt such - mea sures of precaution as they might think tit for their own immediate security ; and none will deny them that right, should it appear that the Revolutionary Party were endeavouring, by means of agents, to .propagate their doctrines . among the neighbouring States.—lt is now well understood - that it was in this view, and for the determination of the extent of the precautionary measures it might be necessary to apply to the -existing'stat e of affairs at Naples, as well as for the consecutive settlement of general principles for , the guidance of their political conduct, in fu ture cases of Revolution, that the Members of the Holy Alliance began and held their conferences at Troppau. It would appear, by a document lately published, and purporting to be a Decla ration from these Sovereigns, that they consi dered themselves as assured of obtaining the assent of the Courts of London and of Paris to the for mation of such a system.—Upon consideration, however, it soon becomes evident, that the con currence of the - British Government, in a, project of this kind, would be totally impracticable, not from any disagreement or difference of opinion on the actual state of affairs, but because it is mani fest that any established system of simultaneous • • , operatton, , in cases of revolutionary changes, froM its nature, 'inevitably lead to,a syste !Untie interference in th e i n t erna l a d m ini s t yat i on of other goVernments, assuming thereby asupre macy as incompatible with exiSthig treaties, as inconsistent with the rights of Independent States, and which might, eventually, cause the most mis chievous consequences. We apprehend likewise that this governmerit could not have, agreed to any similar league of reciprocal in terposition,which it must have been, without a breach of the most essential principles of our COnstitution,—a pal pable error on their part, which would have been a God-send, indeed, to a certain class of persons whom we need not name. The papers and documents re l a ti ve t o t h e a ff a i rs of Naples will probably, however, lie laid ere long before both :Houses of Parliament. And we believe we may without. fear pledge ourselves that his MAJESTY'S Government will not be found to have .made themselves a party to any Set of measures incompatible with the honour and dig.. pity of the SOVEREIGN. We do not indeed expect that they can hasce expressed any thing but dis approbation at the manner and circumstances under which the revolution at Naples appears to have been effected. But, at the same time, that they may not have considered themselves as called upon to interfere therein, on the part of .this ceuntry; we cannot comprehend upon what grounds they could have denied the right of other States, differently circumstanced, from taking every measure of precaution which they them selves might think proper to adopt on the occa sion, reasonable assurances being without doubt to be given on the part of the States in question, that their views were -riot directed to purposes of aggrandisethent, tending to overturn the ge neral arrangements established by the late tree= ties. The three Pdwers of the Alliance could only treat -with the KING of the Two S'lctLiEs, in person, without, in the .alternative, tacitly re cognizing the self- e l ec t e d Authorities' at Naples. —This Monarch is now at Laybach, ioiemnly pledged •to his people, on his departure, to use his endeavours to obtain an acknowledgment of the new constitution ; and the presence of his MAJESTY amongst his Allies cannot but tend in a great measure to conciliate the present order of things at Naples with the permanent tran quillity of the rest of Italy and of Europe. Not withstanding, therefore, the great military pre parations on both sides,—if the Neapolitan Go vernment will act only with common prudence,_NVe still incline to the opinion that hostilities will not take place between the Parties at vari ance—for, in spite of what has at times been alleged to the contrary, - the Allies have 'till now displayed the utmost moderation—and they can not but be aware, that any- adverse course, not justified by the strongest necessity, and bearing upon the face of it indications of a desire of ag grandizement, must inevitably give rise to Coun ter Alliances, to which they would find - it a cliff cult matter to dictate. * ** We are again obliged to omit this day our Ex tracts from the LONDON JOURNALS ; but they con tain nothing of striking novelty on either side.— The Old Times of this day asks, " Who is it that encourages the Treasury .fournals io all their in famous ribaldry and abuse against the QUEEN ?" But it is more reasonable to ask the Old Times who encourages it to assail, with 4 ' infamous ribal dry and abuse," the highest and most , venerable characters in the Kingdom every day ? And we may retort its own words, " would that vile Print disgrace even itself, by that vile course, if it did not think it agreeable to its Employers ?" -" A report has been in circulation for some days at the West End of the Town, that the KING had actually-yielded to the wish's of his People ; and, -with feelings which did him-ho nour as a man, had stated his readiness to restore the QUEEN'S name into the Liturgy.— We presume that Sit ROBERT WILVN allud ed to this report the day before yester day, when he made some observations on. Mr. STUART WORTLEY'S speech, and again when he presented the Sou'thwark petition, as. he then called-upon the House to bear in mind " that the continued exclusion of the. QcEEN's. name from the Liturgy was a Ministerial point of honour, and no longer a point of honour with the Crown." We apprehend, from the tone a repetition of these remarks that Sir. Ro BERT *WILSON 1S in possession of information which guarantees the fact ; and we would call the serious attention of the Country to the state in which the subject in that case stands ;—the question being, whether the King and the people, or the Ministers and their faction, sh4ll prevail ?" —(The Times.) uere, is it within the scope of probability', or even possibility, that such a man •as Sir ROBERT WILSON should be the depository of his MAJ EST Y'S sentiments on this or any occasion The fixed determination of certain individuals to repeal the Restrictive Acts, as .they are called, among which is the. Navigation Act, has at last attracted the attention of. the Landed In terest, who think, that if the propositions of the advocates .for a free trade are. adopted, they will lead to . .consequerices the most fatal to the Agf'i culturists of the country, who must naturally ex pect in their turn to be sacrificed to the foreign grower and-the speculators in grain. Accounts have been received of the capture of Lizna by Lord COCHRANE, after an obstinate re sistance. His fleet is said to have been composed of 20 sail,- four of which were sunk. The Chili squadron, destined -for the attack of Lima, took possession of Pisco, without resistance. Ilse() about 110 miles S. S. E. of Lima. The troops were few in number, and retired ten days after into the interior. The Viceroy of. PERU sent a flag of truce to General SAN MARTIN, requesting an interview, to see if -the differences between the Mother Country and Chili could be arranged. The armistice was agreed on, and a meeting took place, which lasted till the 13th of October, when the Deputies separated. Immediately on the ar rival of those of Chili at Pisco, General SAN • MARTIN broke the armistice, and soon after took a small town. It is added, that Panama and Guayaquil had declared for theludependants.. IP NEWS. . , • • • Pi rrramourti, rsn. I.—Arrived the Importer transport from Gibraltar.
