The Trophies of Waterloo were thismorning de-
posited in the Chapel, Whitehall, with grand eel e-
ninny. .'gout ten o'clock, between three and font-
thousand troops were under arms in the Park, and
his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief,
with a' splentlid suite, present at this noble
Lary and national spectacle. The line being fotitt-
ed, the two Eagles taken on the ever-memorable
Battle of the 18th of June, and tbeColdurs 'which
fell into the hands of the; Conquerors ,on that
glorious day, were borne along in triumph by
two Serjeants
,and a suitable guard, the music
playing, and drums beating. Thus were the tro-
phies paraded beforf, our victorious soldiers, and
on arriving oppOsite their Standards, the Gallic
Eagles were lowered to the British Lion. Three
cheers marked this pond and gratifying' event—
cheers in which the surrounding multitude joined
their gallant defemirs.

The troops were subsequently formed in march-
ing order, and proceeded to Whitehall, where tbe.
Emblems of BOoNAPARTE'S last and greatest De- ,
feat were hung tip amid the other warlike honours
which adorn the sacred place. Divine Service was
• pet:formed.; the Soldiers returned ; arsd a public
ceremony concluded, whirls was as impressive and'
heart-cheering. as ever enlivened the Metropolis
of Ohl England. At ()tie o'clock the gun* were
fired in honour of the 4,)OEUN, whose Birth-day is
'kept on this date. The Royal tradestuentar? pre-
• liming fur. illumination, awl the whole population
in the crowded streets seetwarthaated but with

a great and gloridoci epoch in the lai*tory of their
native land.

We are still without Foreign ,Papers, though
the weather has mode;ated : of: course we 'have
nothing to, ru'd to the vexatious record of

lowing erratum. We regret to say, that the Offi-
cer named Wit-son is Sir ItoiseLTLsoN; who
has so much distinguished himself in the course of
•his military career. We were unwilling to
believe that an o fficer at so much merit and
eXperietice could hive so seriously compromised
himself; and theft being sonic' (thi word Sr.

Yesterday we were favoured with Neis
papers to the 26th ult. and Washington palters to
the 23. d of the. same„ month. The most material -.
of their, -.contents is a copy of the. Commercial
Convention agreed upon between the GOi'ernment*
of the Siaits and Great*Britai,f, wilkh
was signed at London on, the 3sl of July last,•arid
ratified at Washington' by the American
DENT on the 224 of December. The subStinee
of this Convention is short, and its principles,,
exceedingly simple. It consists of tour articles,
of .which the first is a general stipulation for free-
dom of commercial intercourse, the second re-
latel to an equalisation of &Hies, the, third ad-
mits the Americans to the ' East India trade,
and 'the fourth provides for the appointment
of Consuls. The second article is the most
material. It provides that no higher or other
ditties shall he imposed on importing or ex-
porting British 'and American produce and ma-
, nufactures,'into or from each country reciprOcally,
than on the export or import Of any other fo-
leigit like nature; that the do-
ties on shipping between the. two countries-, and

whether the 311;1 s be Briish or American, and
,tb it the same principle shall he applied to draw-
backs on re.exportation and to bounties, as to
duties. with the proviso, &it where the re-ex-
portation is to a third country, the respective
Governments shall be at liberty to augment or
diminish the drawback. It is also specified that the
intercourse between America and the West Indies
is not to be affected by the present Convention., 1
The admission of American shipping to the East,.
India trade is limited to such principal ports and
places as wher foreigners are allowed to trade to,.
and is also confined to the direct trade with Arne-
American ships were to have been allowed
to touch ,rt St. Helena, among other plow;
but in consequence of our having rather ridicu-
lously converted that island into a state prison, it
was found necessary to except it from the operation
of the Convention. A diplomatic note to that
effect was therefore presented by Mr. BAKBIP•
