There are several thitgs beforethe House of Commons last night, which would deserve attention ; but, the great question of peace or war having received a sort of set tler, we must lay aside such subjects as Earl St. Vincent, Consols, Insolvent Debtors, King's Library, Moberly. Finance, Welsh Judicature, Scotch Courts ; all each matters as these including Prophane Swearing and In come and Expenditure of Ireland ; all such matters be come mere moon-shine when we have the grand subject of all before us.—The thing is settled, then; we are to have the " shield" of peace ; the Quakers pockets are to be squeezed ; the greedy landlords are not to get high prices, and ruin their tenants, while they have in famy to bawl out for national faith; the infamous London news-papers are now to be proved a pretty pack of fools ; the bellowing speeches, the bullying pa ragraphs; the pretty little ;questions and answers ; the damnable.. duplicity of knaves whom 1 will not name, and the thundering speech of Sir Francis Burdett, calling upon us to lay by our own distresses, for the vital interests of mankind; all.these are to the subject, as I said they would be, of everlasting laughter or everlasting censure. In the next Register I shall go into the history ; or, rather, I shall put upon record this series of rogueries and of follies. — I have been guarding, or endeavouring to guard, my readers against them, all the way through, from the ninth of Noveuilier, at the Fanners' Dinner at Reading, up to the present day. Monstrous, indeed, has been the folly and turpitude of the London press ; equally monstrous tbe.folly and turpitude of others; the thing is now in a State to enable me to show, that if I bad been listened to, the public never would have been deceived by this folly and this turpitude ; and on Saturday I will put this, show ing safely upon record in that book which contains the only real and true history of the country for the last twenty years. But, let me now return to the upshot of the story, which upshot was brought out in the House of Commons last ni g ht, b y a QUESTION, put to Mr. Canning (now happily relieved from the gout) by the meliorating Sir James Mackintosh. Ameliorating means softening meant some which has l a soften ing effect; such as a poultice has upon a hard swelling; or such as some infernally nasty stuff that we thick bet ter than an obdurate cough. To ameliorate is a very amiable sort of thing ; and Sir Jam's iaperfectly famous for his performances in this way. I shaq uestio ns " ext Saturday ob serve upon Mr. Broueltam's about thousand sailors, and the like ; but, at present, I have to observe on Sir James Mackintosh's question and Mr. Canning's answer last night.. Sir James began by ex pressing his joy at the course pursued b y Government in their late negot i ations for effecting an object so dear to hu inanity; namely, certain things done by them with regard to the Slave Trade, an account of which Mr. Canning had first laid upon the table. This was a very nice and smooth way of en . ering into the g reat subject ; namely, the question of peace or war. H. said, the questions that he was about to put to Mr. Canning would have been put before, had it not been for the i ndis p osition of Mr. Can ning, Wlth it no man lamented more than he did. He text soiled that the tang silence and forbearancl of him self and friends, with regard to this subject, arose, and not from a Want of sen ibility to the interests at stake, but from a sincere feeling, which made them not wish to obtrude apon °embarrass the Ministers' negociations. lie then went on to express his hope, that those negotia tions hail been conducted upon just and sod prin u Mnciplses; and he concluded b y asking " whether his ajesty' !di " ;titters had still a Lope of preventing, by negociation, the unprovoked aggression of France against Spain?" —This was the question •, and the answer hshoulde re ceived was this : that "be (Mr. Canning) " be deceiving the House, if he did not state, that the hope of amicable adjusten, if not totally extingnished, was so far diminishmed, t as not to allow a • reasonable expectation that hostilities could be avert ;, ed." Mr. Canning added, before he sat down, that " could not avoid that opportunity of declaring that, • however events might be shaped with regard to the " issue of the war between France and Spain, he did not " at present see any specific ground for involving this " c ountry in war!" There ! that is it, reader. You have now got it oat, after ten days of as much attack of tEe tont as man could reasonably nisi) to endure. You heard before about the four thousand sailors; you beard Mr. Brougham's speech on the first day of the Session; wou heard Lord Liverpool call the M Frenc us attack an un justifiable aggression ; you heard r. Hkissi call it tie same at Liverpool ; all this you heard ; and you heard Mr. Canning say, upon the occasion of the four thousand sailors, that, if nec essary, the Ministers the French would a pply to the House f o r more ; you have persevere; you have every reason to believe that they are now entering Spain; and, at the end of a ten days tit of the gout, Mr. Canning, the bearer of the " shield," comes and tells you that he sees no specific ground for this country being involved in the war. " Well!" says you, " but did Sir James Mackintosh make no ob " serration on this answer of Mr. Canning's?" Not a word; not even one ameliorating word. Mr. Canning sail that he had to State that it was the intention of Ministers (unless something occurred in the mean time to prevent it,) to lay before the House the papers rela tive to the negociation, the first convenient day after the recess! And not a word of observation from any one! lo all human probability the French will be at Madrid before these pretty papers will get before the House.--- , The papers seem to move simultaneously with the French armies; the latter are getting ready to enter Spae.in, and the former ar e g ettin g ready to enter the Hons—Here the thing would have gone off witboutanother word, had • ot been for Sir F. Burdett, who crone into the House it appears after Mr. Canning bad given his an swer to pp Sir James blackintosh's question, /MCI had left the House. The subject now before the House was the Mutiny Bill ; sad upon this Sir Francts.took occasion to make a s peech u pon the subject of the answer which Mr. Canning bad to g i ve n; a speech such as an English gentl s eman ° ch otigh ught t mike under oak circumstances; but, this pee so have been made at & mods father pried. Us said. be • felt ioignantit the shower which . bad been given. He wel/ observed, what ought to have been observed over and over again during this Session, that the standing excuse for the present - arge army in time of peace, bad been, the altered state of Europe; and the necessity of keeping up such an army (now mind), in order for us to maintain our due share of weight in the affairs of Eu rope. This is perfectly true. The keeping up of this enormous army has always been justified upon this ground; and then, said Sir Francis, bow scandalous is it, that the Ministers should put the country to the expense of this army for so many years; should still keep this array on foot; and, when the necessity of using the army in order to preserve the independenoe and liberties of a part of Europe, the independence of which is so essential to us ; how scandalous is it that they should keep this army here lingering at ionne, and quietly are that country in vaded by the French ; and, as he might have had, with the avowed object (as expressed in the Speech of Cha tesubriand) of strengthening France against England I In other parts of his speech, the Honourable Baronet very truly characterised the war which France is now about to begin; he charged the Government with advancing the views.of the Holy Alliance; hr asked why the Par-. liament Was not sooner acquainted with the intention of. the Ministers to pursue this dastardly course. He sa that the Parliament had been deluded i nto a ridiculous si id lence and forbearance; and that, had it not been for thisi artifiCe,oll the part of the Ministers. he (Sir Francis) did did not know whether one half of the estimates o hs: uld have been granted, or whether any of means proposed by the Ministers, would have met with the acquiescence of the House. He concluded' by expressing his unqualified contempt of the line of policy which she Minister had pursued.—Now, this was an excellent speech; bat, when Sir Francis was talking of the artifice, should he not have recollected, that the artifice has been carried on by OTHER ACTORS be sides the Ministers? This is a very interesting matter. He (Si Francis) might have b e en "delued;" bt he should hare resd, then, what I kept daily saying u upon the subject, and then he would not have been deluded. No doubt that he was under delusion, when lie made the thundering speech of the 4th of February, and really did a great deal towards aiding the artifice of which he I now complains.—Mr. Canning was gone; bat Mr. Peel' was there to deprecate present discussion of the subject; but he took occasion to observe that he differed from Sir Francis; and thought that the country would hear with satisfaction of the pacific intentions of the Minis- Iters.—Mr. Courenay differed also from the Baronet, end thought that the country did not wish to be plunged into war.—Mr. T. Wilson was for remains ing at peace.--alr. Ricardo had attended the dinner-meeting (I called it dinner fight) out of sympa thy for the cause of the Spaniards, but tie thought that we ought, if possible. to keep oCt of the war. Mr. Den man, who appeared to me to be so decided for war when he was answered by Mr. Sumner, on the very night of the dinner -fight; this gentleman said that, though he should thereby differ from his friend. he would not rush into war, but avoid war. considering how recently we had escaped from that abyss. He added, "if the honour of " the nation rendered it absolutely nnavoi.lable, then " there was no help ; but he hoped we could still avoid "it." Sir John Newport "viewed the conduct of the " French with horror; but still this country ought to " pause, before it rushed into the calamities of " war." This was the tons of the House. — The estimates have been gone pretty nearly through, before the fit of the gout would permit Mr. Canning to come and explain ; and now, the estimates having been so far advanced. while no one knew (ex cept the Ministers) whether there would be war or pace. the gout permits Mr. Canning to come and say, that he s ees no ground for war.-1 now come to the Morning Chronicle's notice of this proceeding. My readers will remember, that, until within these three weeks , . this paper has been bellowing for war; that it and the whole tribe to which it belongs, have been roaring out for employing the mighty power of the British empire, to keep the Frincla from destroying the liberties out, of our friends the Sp aniards ; but it has now found " that we have carried our DEBT to such an amount, " that a war might prove at this time a very hazardous " experiment; and that, situated as this country now " is, (with regard to ,the Debt) nothing but the LAST ENTRENIIIV can j us tify the Ministersin invo lvin g " the country in war." It adds, " our position and our re " sources secure US from aggression; and, however per " fidious the conduct of Fiance with regard to Spain, " mere sympathy will not justify os in becoming a party " to the war." 'There, then! there is the creed of bass ness acknowledged, put forth, proclaimed, and ratified. The sum total of the creed is this, and which I express in my own well known words: " The DEBT says to• " the King of England, THOU SHALT NKVER GO TO WAR AGAIN, AS LONG AS lAM IN EXISTE.NCE." Het ewe see my doctrine fully verified in less than ni ne months after I had laid it dow n in my address to thof Kent Lord Liverpool said in the House of Lords, Mr. kHnow us kisson said at Liverpool , " we would have you to " that it is not true that we are enable to go to war, let " the assertion come from what quarter it will." But now we fi nd, that the onl y possible defence of the Ministers must consist in the amount of the Debt; the weight of the mill-stone, that is dragging down the country into that horrible degradation so well described by Sir Francis Burdett ; bet then, what is the use of Sir Franc i s' s describing that degradation, unless he come forward manfully to remove the irresistible cause. To tall upon the Ministers to go to war with gold payments, and without a reduction of the interest of the Debt and the amount of the Dead Weight, is just as reasonable as it would be to call upon them to lade the water out of the sea. I have all along said to the Morn ing Chronicle when it has be t he Debt ?g" bawlin faThe wary r war, do you approve of blowing " t Scot saw that he would be penned up ; he saw hoW ridi culous lie would look if he called for war, while he op posed equitable adjustment. To oppose eqnitable ad justment lie was resolved. His very nature shud dered at that. A man that can coolly talk of the stock-market a man that can think of 'Change Alley with satisfaction • a man that can talk about national faith with a cool face of brass : such a man would rather thann actuall made over to the Holy Alliance, sec a reduction o f the interest of the Debt. There fore, though he detests the French ; though tie hate the Bourbons ; though he is so anxious about the preserva tion of Spanish liberty ; though he want Greeks and all 'to be free ; though he goes the full length as to all these points, when it comes to the question at last, Atli we touch the Debt, or shall the Holy Alliance enslave the whole world, he shrugs up his shoulders, pokes his upper lip up to his nose and says, the Debt must not be touch ed. 'This was the feeling • and, in fact, this was the laaguage in the House last night ; and thus Is this nation prosodic; pulled down to the earth by that very Debt, which was contracted fur the purpose of crushing the rising liberties of France and America. It is, as 1 always said it would be, now clearly proved, that this Debt, which these same Minis ters and their predecessors contracted ;. it is this same Debt, which Pitt once described as the best ally of France, which is now the rock un which the Ministers will stand and beat all those of their opponents, who have still the folly or the roguery to profess their attachment to national faith.—When the papers come before the House, we shall see what pretty works have been going on ; or, at least, we shall see something about it ; these papers we are totare after the Easter recess ; and in the meanwhile, I will take syeclal care to put upon record all the fasts, ell the Curious facts relating to what Sit "7" —-- - Francis Borden calls the artifice and the delusion prat-I tised upon the Parliament and the country relative to the part that it was expected the Ministers IN o I d take in this tsar• Another set of French papers to the 17th, has arrived since our I set ; but they contain little additional intelli. gence. The Quotidie?ine of Sunday gives the name of the Counsellor of State who has been appointed to attend the Doke of Angouleme during the campaign, in the Ca pacity of the King's Civil Commissar y . it is N. de Mar tignae who is entrusted with that important post. An article from Verona, dated the 2d instant, and given in the Goistitutionxel, after describing the effectual manner in which all the fortified places in Spain have b een re paired, armed, and provisioned, states the force capable of meeting the enemy in the field, to amonnt, besides the 30,00 0 men now taming, to 124,000 Regulars 87,000 Ar-' tive Veteran Militia , and 200,000 Volunteer 'Militia, all under arms, and ready to perish in defence of their coun try: It then adds : "It is evident that Spain cannot ex perience any alarm with respect to the French army,even if it should consist of a much greater number than that prepared to invade her territory."

Consols opened at NW but went down to and then to at which price y steady. • Some business was doing in the earlier the part are of . the vnorning.—We understand that an express has ar rived from Paris; but the price of the French Funds bas not t transpired. g entleman has arrived in town fro m Spain, who passed t h roug h the French army' in the neighbourhood of Bayonne.

SPANISH PAPERS. The Courier, which has been very watchful of the in consistent speculations respecting the dispute between France and Spain, that have appeared in any other print, except its own, now fairly acknowledges the preparations making by our Government, which a short time ago it firmly denied. "We have stated,on several occasions," says this paper last night, " that in the approaching war between France and Spain, this country will, if possible, preserve a firm and sincere neutrality. At the same time, no Minister uould venture, at such a moment, to repose with unsuspecting confidence upon the certainty of being able to maintain a neutral attitude. It is always mch niser to be prepared for a possible contingency, than to u be found unprepared when the con tingency arriyes. We are not, therefore, surprised to learn that a certain degree of activity prevails in our naval sta tions, which, though it does not warrant the supposi tion that an armament is fitting out, indicates a highly prudent vigilance on the part of Government. We un derstand that ten guardships at the different ports have bad their crews ordered to be increased to half the sea going complement of men, merely to bear so many . ex tra men, to have ready at hand fur service if wanted in a hurry. Several large frigates are also preparing for sea, as wen as some sloops." The King . of Spain, by his decreeof the 27th of Febru ary, has decided that the navy shall be increased to twelve' ships of the line, front 60 to SO guns ; 20 frigates, from 30 to 50 guns; 10 corvettes, from 20 to 30 guns ; and 30 brigs, sloop', &c. from 10 to 20 guns. This decree con tains many regulations relative to the number of seamen and marines. For the present orders have been given to put to sea all the vessels fit for service, and to build sere ral frigates and brigs. The Asia, of 64 guns, the Cazildo, of 36, the Achilles, and-Valiant, of 20, are to cruise in the Mediterranean, under the command of Rear-Admiral VACAR A, who will hoist his flag on board the Asia—' This squadron will be reinforced by other vessels. The movement of the French troops on the Frontiers, mentoned in the Bayonne apers, seems to have indi catedi the approach of Count Abisbal in pursuit of the • factious. It is reported, that a vessel has actually left the River , and by this time is clear away on her passage, having on board thirty French Officers, who are proceeding to Spain. This vessel, it is added, was purposely chartered fur their conveyance, awl the whole of their expenses defrayed by a Spanish Agent. Several French Officers bad appeared, as we learn by a private letter, so long as a month ago, in full uniform, on the Prado at Madrid. These, it was understood, had come strongly recom mended by Mina. It was asserted by some that they belonged to the Army of Observation, and by others that they had been implicated in the affair of Berton ; while an opinion also prevailed that they were about me e rect themselves into a Regency iu the name of Napo leon 11. . A private letter received yesterday from Paris stat es, that 17 millions of franc s have, within a short time, been sent from the Treasury to the Army of Spain. It I also mentions tha t 15,000 uniforms have been made In I I Paris for the Army of the Faith. Several barges,had left the Seine with these supplies, as well as 80 heavy waggons, which, when unloaded, it is said, are intended: to form a bridge over the Sidassoa. They, however; do not travel very rapidly, for the first day they only went as far as Montrouge, and on the second they were met inoceeded the neig d a hbourhood of Arcueil, so that they has proceeded one league an half in 3G hours. Yon ' I only may yudge, the letter adds, how lung they will be in reaching Bayonne. It is asserted that the Duc de Guichie, who has quitted Paris with his Royal Highness of Allgollierne, on the Holy Crusade against the Spaniards, as Commander-in- Chief of the Light cavalry of the Royal Guard, is at this very moment in the British Army, and in the receipt of half pay as Captain of the Tenth Hussars. Some astonishment has been expressed that the 'item of Foreign Half Pay was, in the debate on the Army Es timates, passed over without remark. It is affirmed, a large portion of the officers composing the French Guard receive English Half Pay, and every three months, on the 25th and snccessive days, the British Consul's Office is crowded with men who come to have their certificates signed, and whom you see the following day mounting guard at the Thuilleries. These are the men to whom the Government look chiefly up for support, and who are now on their march to destroy liberty in Spain. ELECTION OF TEN NIMCARDINALS.—The following interesting piece of intelligence is extracted from a letter received in Cock on Thursday, dated Rome, February 20, 1823. " Ten Cardinals have been added to the Sacred Co lege in the course of this month; amongst this number isMonseigneur Pedicini,late Secretary of the Propagai da; the greatest caution has been employed in making ibis selection, as the great age of his Holiness, Pope Pius VII., makes it certain that the election of ;moth.: Supreme ?Witt cannot be far distant," Madrid papers received yesterday to the 6th )aslant, contain the following interesting particulars in the La pectador of the 31:— " In the sitting of the Cortes of the 4th, the following motion, made by Sr. Canna , was approved, viz. I re quest that the Cortes will be pleased to recommend to the Government the formal conclusion of the treaty of alliance with the noble and brave Portuguesenstion.' " A proposition of Sr. Moore was read, in which Le . stated, that as the removal of the Cortvs and Government to the city of Seville had been resolved upon, as well as several other measures intended to fasilitate the same, it was expedient to consider what was to be done with the number of prisoners confined in the capital and other places, on charges of conspiracy, and who, should the enemy advance and liberate them, wonld serve to swell his ranks ; he therefore wished the Cortes to take the subject into consideration, and allow it to be submitted to a special Committee, or entrust the same to the Govern . went, in order that they may take the necessary measures for the security of the prisoners. " TOTAL DEPBAT OP BESSIRRES. " AOREDA. MARCH 2.—This day, at six in the morn ing, advices have been received front the advanced co lumn, under the command of General O'Daix, giving in formation that the remnant of the rebels who were in Huete have been destroyed , 1,000 prisoners taken, toge ther with the wife of ROTO (a Catalan Chief under Res- sieres), and a considerable sum of money. novo tled with only 30 of his people. The action took place on the 28th, at Aloionaud. The monev t iken 25,01811 dollars. Ruvo and TENA escaped only by their not be ing at the tune wi b the main holly. Thus have we cone pletely exterminated the whole party that intended to lave surprised the capital." PUBLIC ABUSES. Among the Petitions presented last rilet to the Howe of Commons, was one by Sir IV. 1)e Cresiuy, (omitted in our Parliamentary Report,) from an in p d g ividual whose name he mentioned, but which was inaudible in the nal lery. The lion. Orntleuian said he did net mean to cea sore the conduct of gentlemen in that Muse, hot he could not but observe that the peeltions of individual, were never attended to—they were ordered to livens the table—they then made, by hocus pocus contrivance, a hop into a drawer, a step into a bag, and a jump into an im mense reservoir, and there they might lie to the 'lay of juilginent witliont any further notice being taken of them ; but he hoped the present petition would not be disregarded, as the petitioner had rendered service to the public and the government. The petition was read, and stated, that the petitioner in the latter end of the year 1817, and beginning of ISIS, discovered that tax tollector, named John Oakins, was in the practice of over charging the persons from whom he collected taxes.• and keeping the money. That petitioner, in conse quence. laid nineteen informations of fraud practised by said Oakins, before the Commissioners of the Board of Taxes. That Oakins pleaded guilty to the infarmations; and compounded the penshies foe 10001.; and the pe titioner, as we understood the petition, bad not - received any reward. The pe t i tion concluded by praying, that the petitioner might he examined at the bar of the House. Sir W. 4e Crespigny said, lie understood it had been Al leged against the petitioner, that lie hail attended Reform Meetings; but, although he (Sir W. De Crespigny)ltad n ever attended a Reform Meeting, yet he thought be might go to Reform Meetings and come front them as loyal a man as he went to them; and he certainly could not admit that any man should lie denied justice because he bad attended Reform Meetings. The Honourable Baronet concluded by moving . , " That the Petitiun ''ould lie on the table and be printed."—Ordered.

O(tlul%AL ANRCDOTE OF THZ LAT& EARL .ST. Vsr cvev. great and splendid talents for which the late Elul St. Vincent was distinguished as a naval Com mander, require no additional testimony to render them illustrious. But the noble qualities he evinced in so cial life, were frequently concealed in the privacy he courted, and need only to he known to gain an equal share of admiration and respect. The friendships his was used to cultivate, were as ardent, prompt and active, a the talents he displayed in his seat at the Admiralty Board, s or in the command of his Fleet. As an evidence of this lively feeling, we give the following anecdote, in the form in which we received it, some years since, from the arty in whose behalf ft was called forth.—Betware 40 end became ears ago, Captain Jervis was stationed at glytnouth, and emi a frequent visitor at t h e house of a worthy Quaker, an nent grocer in that town. Some years afterwards, a Q esker Banking-house, of Lombard-street (in which the Captain's acquaintance. Friend Fox, kept an account) stopped pay ment. Captain Jervis had, for some time, retired to'a dis tont kingdom, and bad not kept up a punctual correaptinii ence with his Plymouth Friend. Soon, however, after the failure of the hankinhouse was known, Friend Fox receiv ed a letter from the Captain, expressive of his deep coqcern at the intelligence—apprehensive that his friend might be a sufferer by the event—requesting him immediately to let him know, and assuring him of his ready assistance to the PUS extent of his powers. Mr. Fox, very fortunately, suffered little or no loss on the occasion ; but did not less feet a sense of obligation for such an heroic proof of friendship.— While he related this, however, to the writer of the aoccas iureeote, he added, with concern, (whethe observed might on surprise),that after his noble friend had become an Earl, and was resident, as naval Commander at Plymouth, he never once attempted to renew t he ancient intimacy . • "But," said the worthy and animated old man, that never has dimiuished the grateful feeliug with which I have regarded his uncom mon friendship ; and that feeling," added he, clapping his hand upon his breast) " will I continue to cherish, chile memory holds its seat !" CORN EXCDANHE.—There, is a short Supply of roost kinds of Crain at Market this looming, and Wheat r t. mains dull at Monday's priced. In Barley there is no alteration.
