FOR THE SUN.

FREE TRADE.

Mr. EDiToa.—Understanding that the advo-
cates for the transfer of the 'limber Trade from the
British Colonies in North America contend that
the. measure would be productive of an eXtensive
export of British manutactures to 'Denmark, Nor-
way, and Sweden, I wish to draw the attention
of your Readers to .the folloVving statements in
Dr..ltelle Cyclopedia, under the 'head of " COM.
MESCE

" The Trade to
.Deninatk and Norway (he
says), though of ancient date, is not of may g►eat
extent 3 the miports consist chiefly of Timber and
Corn; and the export. of West India produce, and
other .Foreign n►erchauclize ; Ilae quantity of Bri-
lish goods which those Coriniries take tieing of snu►ll
amount."

Speaking of the trade with Sweden he says,
" it is clinic() on chiefly in ships td that country,
and has not vaned materially in its extent (luting
the last menry years. The iwpoits consist:chiefly
of Iron of a superior quality, Pitch, Tar, Deal
Boards, and Sail Cloth. The exports are print i •
pally Co/ciaat prodtwe
Now, as it is notorious that the Continent
obtains at the resent period supplies of East
India and China produce, by means of Foreign
ships, much cheaper then we can afford them,
(thani(S to tild. Epist India CoMpany, who refuse
to let British shipping share in the trade,) and
supplies -of West India produce from the Spa.

t)iartis and Portuguese, (t bis nits, tp those 10 whom
is attributable the continuance of tie Foreign
Slave Trade); and as hrome-nrantrfactures are more
than'ever encouraged in the Northern Stitt es of
Europe, upon what ground, I %%Mild ask, can it
rationally be expected that our exports to those
countries would he greater than formerly ? And
it there is no good ground for such expectation,
how can any Englishman, having the good of his
cottotty at hrbrt, desire that the Caoida trade
shoold be annihilated, in older that the trade to
the Nut them States of Europe may revive ?

_OF THIS DAY.

[Horning C'kronicle.]
LORD. COCEIRA'A.

Extract of a Letter from Valparaiso, dated 22d Feb. 1820:—.
" I told you in My.former letter of Lord COCHRANE'S en-
trance into Guayaquil; but as that letter may notlhave. ar-
rived, I will recapitulate the heads. Lord C. went there with
the Lautaro, in search of the Puehre frigate. 4t night he
entered tkerintT (done, attacked and took two large merchant
vessel:, one of iiiirty-two guns, 900 tons horthen ; the Whet,
of twenty-six gnus, 600 tons barthen. Such a thing be-
fore was never known. The entrance into Guayaquil rives.,
on account of its didienit navigation, was never attempted,
except in broad day-light, and then with a pilot. The La
prizes have arrived here; they are laden will, timber. The
Lautaro arrived six weeks ago, having a few days before
her arrival left. the Admiral, whose arrival was also hourly
expected. Many days elapsed, and anxiety was at its,heiglit,
when a Spanish brig of war, the Petrillo, came in ; she had
been captured by !inn off Valdivia, whither she had been sent
from Callao with money and stores for the support of that strong
place. Lord Cochrane had sailed-there to reconnoitre; he
looked in, and had just,talsen out his tompions fur the purpose
of making a dash, when the brig hove in sight„which he
chased and captured; she had un beard 26,000 silver dollars,
and stores worth 40,000 more. He wrote to me on the 23d
Jan., saying, the Military Commander on that station had
agreed to co-operate with him, and that in the space of a
few hours he should dispossess the enemy of their hitherto
impregnable hold, and wholly free did Sbuthern Provinces.
He took 250 troops on board the O'Higgins, the Montezuma
schooner of ten guns, and the Intrepid brig ; but in leav-
ing the harbour of Conception the frigate struck on a sand
bank, tore off the whole of her copper, and she made
eight feet water. The Gallant Admiral not however
dismayed, would not suffer himself to be delayed a
single hour; he went on in this state. On, approaching Val-
divia the Intrepid struck upon a rock, and was lost. Not Wit-
hstanding this, Lord Cuchrarse entered the harbour, attacked
the batteries, landed, assailed the forts, himself leadidg the
seen, and with his own band planting the Chilies) standard in
the great square. The place sal-rendered. It was defended by
110 pieces of Cannon; mostly twenty-four pounders. An im-
mense qnantity el ammunition has fallen into his hands ; the
military stores and chests of the Spanish Army of the South,
&c. &c.—This place is by far the strongest hold iu Chili, hal.+
ing a narrow entrance, a spacious bay with ass island its the
centre ; they:: are ten strong forts, defended as Well by nature
as by art. This is perhaps
,one of the greatest feats ever per-
formed. I have a letter from him, stating that be has one blow
snore to strike in Chiloe, a place which, not hoeing capable of
defence, must fall ; he has sailed thither in the Monte-
zuma, with the Dolores transport, a prize he took et Valdivia;
She O'Higgins being too snitch disabled to be proceeded in
with safety; he will be here in a few days. These are most
important matters, as the expeditious preparing here by San
Martin may now leave the country safely in peace,.ai the
whole of Chili will be freed front the Spaniards."

THE FITT CLUB.

The health of the Bishop of Peterberongh was proposed at
the Pitt Club by Mr. Paterson, bni the old glee of The
King and the Church," not having been sung, as customat y,
after the toast (Jibe !-louse of Brunswick, the Chairman rsa s
requested to permit it to he sung after the health of this eati-
uent Prelate had been given, but which he declined. We
neither heard nor saw any dissatisfaction evinced by the com-
pany on this occasion; but on the contrary, we observed the
expression of disappointment to be general, that this old n -
tional and favourite ;;,lee had been ordered not to 4e swig;
not do we conceive there was any thing invidious or censur-
able ott the other ecrierable and distinguished Members of
the Reverend Body, by desiring this loyal glee to be sung af-
ter the health of the Bishop of Petetborongh.
