NEW FRENCH SINKING FUND. -..-- A Correspondent of the Constitutionnel suggests a novel scheme for reducint; the bertben of the French national debt, and founding a permanent fond fur the purposes of education. He begins bi saying—" If it were possible to obtain some addition of revenue for the State b a very simple method, and without pro alining complaint fru oo ybedy, surely no man of sense would up. pose it ; and to precut /to adoption we must avail ourselves of pub licity through the journals. It is ii,contestible that the fundkolders are in a state much more advantageous in many respects than the landowners. They have a fair interest for their money, and an in come clear and free from all charges and losses. Thie ought to be so; for the engagements of the State must be kept inviolable; public credit can exist only at this price. The idea of levying any tax on them cannot enter into any person's mind. Yet, if thole be a means of exciting among many of them a desire to render some portion of their income subject to the charges to which all others are liable, it would be cheating.Ouroelves to neglect so useful a re source," He then remarks on the avidity with which political rigtitiare acquired,when thej are attainable by the people; and on the complaints often made by the fuodholders that their property gave them no political rights, to which be thinks they are fully en titled, and refers to their loyalty for the last fifteen years. He proceeds—" Let us come to the plan : Two words are enough : it is only necessary to enact, by one or two articles to be introduced into the budget, something equivalent to this.— Every bolder of an inscription for 100 francs of tenses, at least has the right to give notice to the Minister of Finance that be dishes to render it quasi-real property, it undergoing for that pur pose a reduction of one-tenth, as direct taxation. On the payment, every six months, the reduction of one twentieth shall be acknow ledged by a small stamp on the coupon. The rentes rendered toad real property, cannot be restored to their former state." The writer expects that the opportunity thus afforded to acquire a vote, will be eagerly seised by many who now pay 220 francs or less, in . direct taxes, but have no electorial rights. Many of these would gladly convert an hundred franca of rente into quasi-real property, to become electors. and if they had not the rem re already in their pos session, they would buy it. This would bring the Rente into demand, and spread it through the departments. He has no doubt that 200,000 hones might thus be gained ; and he asks, whether that is a sum to be despised in a country where the Deputies fought for many sittings together to save 12,000 francs, and where a grant of 50.00 n francs for the mutual instruction of thirty-two millions of souls was balled as a victory ? He proposes that the produce of this new tax should be applied to the maintenance of schools for infants, and for adult artisans. This, he thinks, would be an additional ati tnulaet to the fundhoiden of liberal principles to convert their rentes into quasi real property. He justifies the singular phrase be has adopted to designate the new species of rente, and owns he has no hope of seeing his project realised. because " it has the un pardonable sin of increasing the number of electors."

Brazilian Peal del Monte United Alezican Canada There will be found in our first page the note addressed by Mr. Dsw 'Ns to the Greek Government, on the 18th of May last, and the answer returned to it on the 23d by CAPO D'ISTRIAS, in thnname of that Government. " His reply," says the Journal des Debats, " is a model of dignity, propriety, and good sense." We concur with the French Journalist, in this character of the reply as a composition ; and, looking at it as emanating from the Greek body—not from the President of Greece—we think it has been drawn up with equal manliness and moderation. But as regardsCa Po DISTRIAS himself, we feel no con fidence in his measures, and set no value upon his profes sions. He is Russian to the heart's core : Greece must not be left to him. If Mr. DAWKINS had been addressing the Count only, this fact of his being altogether Russian might in some degree account for the strain of impera tive expectation, in which he anticipates the " lively satis faction" which his communication " will" impart to the Provisional Government of Greece. But it was for a British Resident to draw the proper and self-suggesting distinction between the President, addressed in sail per smut and the President at the head of the whole Admi nistrative Council of Greece. Viewing the Note of Mr. DAWKINS in this latter character, we think it a haughty and. dictatorial document, and cannot but regret the tone of peremptory protection in which it is conceived. It exacts from Greece an immediate suspension of hostili ties, or a withdrawal of her troops into the limited terri tory guaranteed to her by the three Powers in November last. This, it ought to be observed, involves the cession back to Turkey of all the most important garrisons, and strong plecei, which Greece has acquired by her latest con quests—Vonixra, Lepanto, Missolonghi, and Anatolico among them. TKo Greek Government answered well, by an appeal to the magnanimity and justice of the augustMe di itois,who—it hopes—" will not abandon them: and that it w OULD BE as abandonment WITHOUT REDEMPTION, to CO attain them to tjuil the defensible positions which thfty .rim, occupy." On this point we will offer only two remarks : first, that the territory of Greece cannot be too much extended, even if we decree away from the Turk much dominion, which Greece has not yet wrested from him : but surely, we shall leave to the self-emancipated his own conquest? The riishts, the freedom that he has won—the soil that he. has liberated—at Nast we shall not rob him of these? On what principle, in whose behalf, could we so despoil him ? No, no : if we cannot re-establish her to that full extent, which is so desirable for Europe as well as due to herself, at least let no pitiful chicanery intermeddie to contract the territory which Greece has isceuelly squired. It• were .profligacy on the part of Engheadiiit the could witness uninterfering—a fortiori be a pirtyliiiting—such a dishoneurable compromise : and _ liii. if =l . ?eP sl e C ) GAT S .714 zs not dishonourable onl3i; but oppoillo all the truest interests of the civilized European kinplems. Secondly,—The sovereignty - Of Greece cannot be too independent. The notion of .making her still. tributary to the barbarian, whose thraldom she has broken down, 'ls a pettifogging shuffle, and evasion of a great duty, to reconcile some honourable compunctions which we can not but entertain when we contemplate Greece, with the perfidious policy and sinister manoeuvres of other cabinets. If Greece is to pay any tribute, it must be merely nominal: her sovereignty—to preserve the balance between the States—must be superior to controul. Besides the intelligence from Mexico, which will be found elsewhere in this sheet, we have to-day other important information regarding the expedition fitting out at the Havannah, for the invasion of the former country. The Skylark sailed from Vera Crux on the 1 20th June, and from the Havannah on the 2d July. By 'this ship papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee House ; and in a Vera Crux print, of the 19th June, we have the following informa tion on this subject :—" By the American brig Behan, which arrived here last night at eleven o'clock, from Cayo Hevelo, positive news has been received that on the 25th, an expedition of 4,000 troops—escorted by two ships of the line, three frigates, and three brigs, will sail for the coast of Yucatan. The Cox ISS Alt Ir Gent- RAL has communicated this information by express' to the Government, and has invited all the opulent of this city, by a circular letter, to contribute to the defence of the Republic, until the Government take measures with subscriptions, which will be repaid out of the first receipts of the Custom House, or will be received in lieu of pay ments of duties."—Together with this news, we have an extract of a private letter, also received at the North and South American Coffee House, dated at the Havannah on the 2d July, setting forth that " the expedition, com prising one line of battle ship, two of sixty guns, two of forty-four guns, and several smaller vessels, with trans ports and six thousand troops, shall sail on the 7th inst. for the coast of Mexico." The first effect of this intelli gence here is the fall of Mexican Stock, which went down this morning. Her Majesty, the Queen of PORTUGAL, came to town on Monday last, when many of the emigrants had the honour of kissing her hand, and she returned to Laleham in the evening. On the birth-day of the Infanta ISABELLA MsniA, this unfortunate Princess met with a cruel disappoint ment. She passed the day at Cintra, because Don MIGUEL declared there should be no fife in her honour. The Infanta returned in the evening, and at the moment of entering her chamber, a negress,who had been her atten dant and confidante, and who has accompanied her many years,ralways displaying the most devoted attention, was I I arrested under the eyes of her Royal Mistress, and treated with a barbarous cruelty bypersons who had been sentby DonM tc vat. She was then dragged to prison in the con vnte for reformed prostitutes. The Marquis d'AsnaNTES is charged to visit this negro woman twice a day, and to interrogate her rigidly as to the conversation of her mis tress. Thus has this unfortunate Princess lost her only remaining friend. Some accounts from America state, that General JACK SON has refused to admit Mr. TORLADES, as the Charge d'Affaires from Doi MIGUEL, in spite of some kind of mediation interposed by the British Minister in favour of Don Ml° uEL's emissary. Jonathan seems at all events not to consider those who put down the liberties of na tions as his best friends. Any disposition on the part of America in favour of the Portuguese patriots may be of the greatest advantage to support Terceira, as provi sions and ammunition may very easily be forwarded from the American ports. The Algemeine Zeitung of the 22d instant, received this day, gives us the decree which we mentioned yester day, for the Convocation of the Greek National Assem bly.—lt is to the following effect : THE PRESIDENT OF (MEWL As the meeting of the fourth National Congress has been de layed ►y various circumstances beyond the time fixed in our pre ceding decree, and the motives which induced us earnestly to require the provinces to choose their Deputies are, at this mo went, as important and urgent as they were in the month of April last year. we decree, with the advice of the Parbellenion Art. 1.

Art. 3. the Government will have its residence during the Ses. slim in that city. • Probably 13th July. O.S. (25th, N.S ) • The following is the circular to the Extraordinary Commissioners mentioned in the above decree : EGINA, MAY 28. "The day fixed for the assembly of the first nations! Congress is past, and the deputies are not yet chosen. We have noticed the reasons of this delay, and have neglected no means in our power to remove them. In the provinces which we have bad the plea sure of visiting, we have constantly endeavoured to impress on the numerous citizens who surrounded is, the motives which induced us to require of them the speedy and regular election of their Deputies. We believed we have proved to them that the tran quillity and security which they now enjoy, are to be attributed solely to the cessation of the disorder of which we were so long the victims; but that the positive establishment of order requires in stitutions , and that these cannot be durable unless they rest on a legal foundation, which it is for a National Congress to lay. When we could not personally acquit ourselves of this duty, we have en deavoured to fulfil it by our official and confidential letters.— Our endeavours have been fruitless in these privinees which have chosen as to represent themt. Others have proceeded to the choice of their deputies; others are still engaged in the elections. We cannot better express our gratitude to those provinces which, placing their confidence in us, have given as their full powers, than by urging them to proceed to the election of their deputies without further delay. We make the same request to them which have already chosen their electors, and to those *hick are sill engaged in the elections." After some further observa tions on the mode of election, the circular proceeds. " We there fore desire you to communicate the present letter to the pro vinces of the department under your administration. To this end you will act in concert with the respective Dentegerantes, that the election of the Deputies may be made as speedily as possible. You will be present at the meeting which you will call for this purpose, and send a delegate to those provinces to which you cannot go in person, to accelerate this object as mach as pm- Bible. You will sign the sets of the adieu and send es a copy of them , leaving the originals in the hands et ' the Deputise. We mud you herewith the Decree hung the dsy for the meeting of the Congress, which will show you of what importance we esteem it that you ezecute. with your wonted activity and seal. the com mission which is given you by the present circular.

A great many provinces elected the President himself to be their representative in the National Congress. - - The Mexican Paper—El Espiritu Publico—to the 16th June, has been received this day ; but with the ex ceptiou•of the appointments of the Ministers Plenipo tentiary, they do not convey any news worth extracting. The following are our selections : MRXICO. Jens 7.

President took the oath be fore the Council of Government, and Aeneas& delivered a speech, animated by that patriodsm and regard for the law which so much distinguish his Excellency. There are so many rumours of changes In the different London papers, and particularly in the Standard, that we think there mast be some Are where there is so much smoke. But what could any new Ministry accomplish, if the House of Commons is to be ma naged by satisfying the representatives or the proprietors of the close and rotten boroughs? Will it be possible to make such a re daction of the taxes, as shall restate to industry its due reward ? When the Duke of Wellington became Prime Minister, and when his penetrating eye was understood to be directed to the abases in every department, great hopes ware excited that some effectual relief to the people was at baud. But bow miserably has all this been disappointed ? We think It cannot fail to occur to any, who may now venture to take the helm, that without a Reform in the House of Commons, it would be impossible fur an angel from Heaven to do the least good ;—with this opinion, it gives us great concern to see any thing like a division of views among tbe Refor mers themselves. In the extract we have taken froth Mr. Cob bett's last Register, he still stands out for Universal Suffrage, An nual Parliaments, and voting by Ballot. But bow can Mr. Cob bett suppose that those who honestly consider universal suffrage to be mimed confusion, (and if he loots back to the writinp of the late Mr. Wyvil upon Reform, he will find this to be no new °pl aice) can ever be brought to adopt principles so unknown to the Constitution ? He tells us indeed that it would therm, the power of the nobility, otherwise the late Duke of Richmond would not have adopted it : but Mr. Cobbett should recollect that the Duke of Richmond might make a mistake as well as himself; and more• over, that he not only abandoned his universal suffrage almost a, soon as he had adopted it, but that he became a most determined enemy to the Reformers to the end of his life. Mr. Cobbett quotes another authority, that of the present Earl of Radnor, and we fully admit that that nobleman is a great and high authority for soy thing be ever said or did. We have always regarded him as one of the most able and honest men in the country ; but we deny that he is any authority for universal auffrage, merely because be once supported a petition from Abingdon for Reform upon the sided basis.—We are ready to do the same ; but we should understand thereby, as we have no doubt was intended by the noble Lord, the widest basis known to she Consiitstliom If Lord Radnor* had been far universal suffrage, he would have said so at once. Whenever be does come forward, and his only fault is that this is a great deal too seldom, he always speaks quite plain enough to be understood, and calls things by their proper names ;—and therefore, until we bear Lord Radnor declare himself for Universal Suffrage, Am end Parliaments, and voting by Ballot, which according to the new political aithanasims creed, he must now do, if be wishes to be saved from being considered as an impostor, we shall believe that Lord Radnor's principles of Reform, are the same as our own, which are those of the Constitution, the whole Constitu tion, and nothing but the Constitution. If Mr. Cobbett's nodose were true that Universal Suffrage would increase the power of the nobility, that alone would be reason enough for us to object to it. Good GOD ! what !--increase the very power that we maintain is too great already, so great as co be master of the Xing and people? We really believe Mr. Cobbett is right, and that in tranquil times, it might increase the power of the nobility ; for, as Mr. Tooke used to say, " Whoever had most half-crowns, woold have most votes ;" but in troublesome times, or iu times of great discontent, It would sweep all before it, and those who are the best to pa down, are not the best to build up. Though we cannot at present quote his words, we know that this was the opinion of the late Mr. Wyvil. We do therefore sincerely hope that Mr. Cobbett will have the good sense to mat his new formed opinions upon this salbjeet.—Edarbwrils Examiner. CITY. TwaLvt o'CLoce.

The well-informed in the City give it as their opinion, that the expedition from the Havannah to Mexico is a desperate attempt on the part of the Spaniards, and will not succeed—particularly the report of their going to land on Yucatan, which is a very unhealthy place. But others assert, that they will only make good a landing, and fortify themselves, waiting further reinforcements from the mother country. But it is supposed that they have a strong party, who will join them the moment they reach the Mexican shores. The Mexican packet which has arrived is the second one, and not due for three weeks to come. The private accounts from the Havannah state that the shopkeepers of the Havannah have solicited the Government to have permission to put off their payments to the merchants, to whom they owe about four or five millions of dollars ; but a counter-petition from the merchants was sent to the Governor not to grant them the request—in consequence of which they were refused, and an investigation of their affairs is to take place.
