[Morning flvald

A great deal is said, and we believe very little.
known, of the actual state of the negociatioo
rive to the Queen. This evening will disclose the
result ; and as the truth is so near, we shall for-
bear repeating the rumours that have been flying
about•since:Saturday. It is scarcely possible that
another postponement should take place, nor is
it expected; even supposing that the negociat ors
felt tuithei d-lay expedient, which is very on.
likely,: the pr.ssure of indispensable
ness would not adutit of it.

It vas currently reported on Saturday, that
Grey iia-d been sent for to town immediately,
sttptiosed to be on the business of the Queen.

[Morning Post.]

We hare this Ihay the happiness of congrarulat.
ing the Public upon the entire suppression of every
unpleasant syniptotn connected with the late con.
,!uct of the now sincerely repent.nt third batta.;.
lion of Foot Guards, who, as we have already
stated,
,have all promised, in the depth of their
sor,ow,,to-aroue.for their past error by their hi,
titre go-Od conthiet and loyalty and aVachment. to
their King. At four o'clock on Saturd.4 morn-
ing the drum beat at the Royal Mews for the. re-
mainder of the battalion, to assemble, in -order to
toliowth-eir companions to Portsmouth and Ply.
mouth. In a few moments they tornta out com-
pletely equ;pped for their rou'c, and if theyJnight
be in,iged tioto their' couotenances, they were
heartily asliamed of the acts of those of- their
comrades, which hailled to the disgrace of their
thus marclied from- the metropolis. They
al-I expressed their conttition for what had passed,,
and. expressed a hope that their future good con-
dtret would prove the sincerity of their repentance,
Soon after tliry wire drawn up in 9.4 ctions, the
Ditke4ot. Wellington toile ioto the Mews on his
charger, accompanied by an Aid-de-Camp. Art
instantaneous expression of • griet burst through
the battalion, and every 'man appeared its it were
to shrink within himself in the presence of this
matchless hero. - His eagle eye, as he shot its
glances through every rank, scented to remind
them of glories not long 'passed—of laurels never
to he faded. Their downcast looks rested on the
medals which hung upon their bosoms. The
atchievements which entitled them to that ho-
nourable distinction became fresh in their recol.-
lection, and as they. compared their conduct on
the ever-m,:morable field of Waterloo with .the
transactions which had, now called them to the
presence of their invincible leader on that field;
and on a day so near to the anniversary of his
glorious victory—their punishment was complete.
His Grace tittered not a worst--his presence wFs
satricieut—the men evidently felt as they ought to
do, •for with tears in their eyes they involuntarily
exclaimed " God bless the King—we love one
good Sovereign." At length the word "to
march" was given, and they took their way in
silent sorrow. Thvy have been replaced by A.
battalion of the first regiment.

It has excited some surprise and much uneasi,
ness, that so few of the Members for the Mark
time Counties and the Outports are on the Select
Committee for Trade. It we are rightly inforrt4:
ed, the present object of their iurptity relates to,
the Timber -Trade, with a view to lower the.du.„
ties on foreign wood ; it is therefore to be regret-
ted
the. Committee does not include the Members'
we allude to, and, that it is not an.open Cum*
mittee. If we recollect correctly; the. Committees
on .the Kist India 'remit-L., the American Inter-.
course,, and several,otl!ter Committees, were opeti
to.the ; and we are co4vinceti, if that course
had then now adopted, it would have:been more sa-
t istactoq to the Neither is the evidence,
we belitve-,.,in.t.ltis case, printed for the use of Lie
(louse, but only for the Committee, as was done
in tire instances we allude to. From what moritcs

ON THE RECENT PETITIoN,i FIR A FREZ TRADE.

(Nit. VI.)

Mn. EDITOT:..--it is plea-sing, doubly pleasing
indeed, to observe that one of the most promi-
nent argnments of the advocates for a Free Trade
is inching away like snow before the Summer's
Sun. That crinnlvil state ot Commerce of which

they complained, and on which t hty have
'ft►un►led their dAngerous and destructive experi-

seeing to be giving way to more wholesome
remedies than the twist rioms Politickl Quacks,
NO) professs to set tip the Consti,ution of the
Empire, " without risk or confinement," as other
Quarks profess. solely by their new Essence of
Lignum

That Commercial men, whose cella-erns RTI
etinfitted to the Baltic and East Country 'Trade,
sh.txdri wish to extend Coat Trade, is perfectly
and they may, perhaps, be excused, even
though .they shut tbe;s. eyes to the consequences
that must result to another class of their fellow
Merchants but the Politician most take a more

exteneed view of the suhjert, as we hive reason
to Lope was done by his Majesty's Ministers, even
when application to that effect was first 111,1de to

them ; and who, we trust, stopped very far short
of any thng like an assurance that the Baltic
Timbrr Duties should be lowered. That a pro-
Lnist should have been given to take the question
into consideration, may naturally be supposed.—
Such an answer to a respectable body of Mer-
chants could not well be avoided ; hut then it
contained no pledge, as the East Country Agents
ire Slated 10 leave asserted most indiscreetly.—lt
might, indeed, be difficult for Ministers to decide

upon such a momentous question, if they were
solely tO hear the opiitions of the two Parties most
4n,itenstMy interest ed--the Baltic 811 d Canada Ship
veers; mist, even if the evidence of the iVestern
IN)rts was thrown into the CA1)4(11,111 scale, Still

/might that evid,nce be considered as proceediog
More from self-interest than from a liberal regard to
the question in a national point of view. But, Sir,
we have now a more powerful support of Colo-
oral Inter (!,itl, even from the first mercantile men
of the Eastern Fors, wLio, nobly.disdaiuing every
01'fi,11 prospect of pin that might accrue to Nem
by shifting half the Tintl,cr Trade from one side
of the Kingdom to the other, have come forward

candidly to express their opinions against any
change in the system as's!' present arranged.
Here, too, 11c. Etlitor, I must observe that

the 'temptation was very strong ; tor the very
rapid increase of the Colonial "'Tuber Trade of
the Port of Live'ponl alone, during the last five
years, is sufficient to excite both Commercial envy
end cupidity lit a very high decree. Between
_the years 1613 4.1(1 1820, that Port alone has in-
creased from 99 ships to 320 ; from 26,000 tons
to 85,000 ; and from 1310. seamen to 4245—a
Commercial prize which null, Lynn, &c. migl►t
well expect to share in, were the channels of the
Timber Trade to be stilted agreeable Lo the new
plan. At the same time I must acknowledge that
the proposed change would not give to the Eastern
Forts that which the Western ones would lose; for,
though the same annual proportion of Timber ton-
rage nlight arrive in Britain, generally speaking,
yet, as 9-10 tbs of the Baltic increase won't' be in
foreign bottoms, the possible increased employ
for British Eastern Shipping would be too small
to operate even as a boon to the Eastern Ports,
But what would be the boon that we should thus
grant to our Political and Commercial Rivals ?

Sir, it it not going too far to assert, becrjuse
it can be borne out by incontrovertible docu-
ments, thst at the present moment our North
American Colonies actually employ nearly, if not
quite, one-half more tonnage and seamen than
the whole of our West Indian Trade ; and this is
what our Rivals wish to share in, and what their
Agents, residing in this Country, are liberal
enough to wish to give that► !
How much this has increased since the peace is
matter of very serious consideration, because it
Shevrs that much of our home improvement, since
the year of deepest distress, must be attributed
to it. In 1816, the whole of the North Ameri-
can Colonial Trade only employed 772 ships,
averaging about 160,000 tons, with something
less than 9000 seamen. In 1817, this increased
j►early one half ; and it was in that year that
Dlinisters most•wisely and patriotically determin-
ed 'not to attempt any increase of Colonial Duties
(luring that Seasi9n, even altheingl► they were of
opinion that the Trade would bear an extension
of Duty equal in amount to the Jtdditional Duty
imposed on Foreign Timber in 1313, adding to
the Revenue ,without any de. erior:ation of existing

interests. But, even if we were to grant the

precise view of the subject to have bten correct,
and that no deterioration would have ensued,
could an amelioration have been hoped for unde►
the pressure of an equalizing Duty ? h it lor one
