" CALAIS, JULY 12.—We have just received
'from L'Orient news of the arrival in that port of
M„
r.HYDE DE NEUVILLE, our Ambassador to the-
United States of America, accompanied by the
whole of the French Legation. Nothing has yet
transpired respecting this_ unlooked-for return.
Nevertheless, his Excellency is reported to have
uttered the following words We must hope
that this will be arratiged'---which would give
reason to,s-uppose that this is a momentary rupture
between the two'Countries."

The Party Prints • that clamour so much
.for
the names of the witnesses who are to be brought
forward on the Trial of tHE QUEEN do not per-
ceive orikre tvilfully blind to, the probable con-
sequences. The reception which the poor Fo-
reigners met with at Dover ought to be a warning
to them of what would happen if the names
should be known, _and their residence discovered
while in this Country. The Dover Rioters were
no doubt misled and inflamed by those very
prints. We have no doubt that a Journal might
be found in this Metropolis Who on the ar-
rival of those witnesses, would point them
out for assassination, that -their evidence
might nut be heard., We well - know that
there is at least one Journal in the Metro-
polis, which contained a letter advocating, if not.
absolutely menacing, the assassination of Mr.
C INNING, and its subsequent and daily conduct
by ,no means evinces any signs of moral improve-
ment, or penitential forbearance. What good

could be expected from such a quarte ? Now
we are upon this subject, we beg leave to ask
the Morning Chronicle and the Times, why, When
on a late occasion, one of hiS'MAJESTIC'S Minis
, ,
ters looked emphatically, round in.the llouse of
Commons; and declared that it was well known
who supplied money to the Citto-STaft'r CoNz-
SiIitATORS for the purchase of arms, &c., neither
of those Papers, which are now so anxious
to have the names of the proposed foreign wit=
nesses revealed, ever asked Ministers to dis-
cover the guilty Patrons of tboro.
There is surely something very mysterious and
extraordinary in the silence .of those Papers on
such bm occasion, . compared with their present
eager desire of expdsing-zthe foreign witnesses
to the dangers which we have mentioned,
and of which the treatment that some of
them received at Dover - may reasonably ren-
der them all not a little appreensive. These ill-
treated individuals have been held up. to scorn
and ridicule because they were low and poor,
however' honest they may- be, and entitled, by
their; characters, to credit. A strange topic of
abuse from the Advocates for Rabble Rgibrmers
But these enemies to foreign witnesses ought to
know that many witnesses of very respectable
character, who are natives of this Country, are,
we hear, likely to be brought forward on the
inquiry which so deeply involVes the justice and
honour of the Throne and of the Empire..

TIMBER TRABE.—,We have given a large por-
tion of the Parliamentary evidence on this sub-
ject in. our Paper of this day (see the First
Page), because it iS,connected with interests of
the utmost importance to us as a Naval and Com-
mercial People. As we intimated before, we
shall, after the whole of the evidence has been
presented to our-Readers, Male such observations
as so important a-subject demands, just observ-
ing, that the' interests, immediate and relative,
of the Empire, and_ its dependencies, Ought to be
the chief consideration, with our Legislators in
any proposed confirmation or relaxation of exist-
ing Duties and Restrictions.
