In the Honest or COMMONS the Sinking Fund was the only thing which caused any discussion last night. It was talked of with as nand' seriousness and solemnity as if it had really been etpected that it would, some time or other, pay o'T some part of the debt.—There has been * a Sinking Fund of some sort or other almost ever since • the infernal debt began; that is to say, fur about a hun dred years; cover bas one single farthing of the debt been paid off by it; it has been demonstrated over and : over again, that it never can even tend to pay off; but that It must tend to increase the weight of the burthen. ' The debt has increa‘ed from one million to nine bun • , Bred millions; and still the thing goes on. The gold ' limit that has been pecking at the s sires of his cage from the first of January to the thirty-first of December, and . . is just as nrar to getting ont as he wits when he began, is ~.just as sens:hle a creature as these sinking-fund people. • ...The truth is, that the sinking-fund means a parcel of . ' thepeople'e money, taken from them io taxes, to be laid owl in what it called stork, in order to make the stock . ....• • ;North more than it otherwise would be ;-so that, what - ' •sever.the siokintfund as they call it amounts to, it is so ' , wick in the way,of bonus to the Jews and Jobbers; and . . this goes,on, bemuse it is necessary to sustain what is called the funding system; and that funding system is snatalued, bennee it is absolutely necessary to the Bo rough system. The Bortragh gentlemen are greatly puzzled. They' 'weld foie that the Lord would be 'Pleased to take the fondholders to himself, but the Lord ... • will..not be so pliamd.

Tfii; tiOUT. • It ,U;lves. enonzh, that, j.tst at this time, the news papers .I.sui.l have to inform that Mr. CANNING hat. • a fir of the gout. Every night some member or other is wtstiint. to lint a question to him, upon the subject- of ' s or oz . piece ; and he, u e or tunately, is kept away by the g‘al. Ihe Q9akets, who have height wheat on spot - • Laion, are rhing the foorniog papers up under the • trims of their bats, in miter to see if there be anrchartri - i‘ti7 'prosrct of war; but the War or Peace Minister is , htlttrue aitb the goat! I cannot help thinking, that, iutj••ci to the ct;ut welt to be a disqualification •foi regain offices, and for none mom than for this office cf Prue or Vi'ar ; for really a fit of the gout, if it choose to come at an improper time, may prevent Peace as well us War. When 1 entered into his Majesty's service, I took en oath, by which I declared, that I was no chim ney sweeper, no currier, no apprentice, and that I was riirt troubled with FITS. Unquestionably this inclu ded fits of the gout; fits a devilish deal likelier to be mischievous than any other fits, the effects of which have ever noticei/..k perverse fit if this sort kept Sir FRAN CIS BURDETT, the other day, from a Reform Meeting at Abingdon; and 1 remember how a similar fit prevented the worthy Baronet flout voting with Col. Wardle, upon * the most inapor•ant of all his motions;—'Tat the t a w . can make p?ovision to disqualify men, for the Ring's service, on account of their being subject to fits ; I have : shown. Now, I think it will not be denied, that the public, and his*Maje4ty, ought to be is nett guarded in the case of a Secretary of State, as in the care of a com mon foot 'oldie,. What was the oath required of (De fit? Why, because 1 shoold not be is &fit, at the time that I sniilat 14 wanted to fight. This FCGS23 clearly shows that fitsof the gout were included in my oath. Other fits last but a short time; but these fits of the gout last almost any length of time. There is no knowing when they ►till begin or when they will end. n short, when we have a Reform of the Parli.tment. the Blemberx shall all swear that they are not 'in the habit of having fits of the gent! , ionising fif 10,000 Malt s between Omega, and the Bi dime& The valet of Lord Fitzroy Somerset has bee* at Bayonne, waiting for his master; for a week, which make* it supposed that his Lordship has been detained, by some new incident, at Madrid.

MADRID, F. B;l.—"We enjoy perfect trantoillity here, though still a prey to the division of parties. A change in the Ministry is still spoken of ; some are for choosing anew Ministry from the party of Cevallos, Castanos, Palafox ; and others from that of Canga, Stdvat, and Romero Amen's.. It is said that there wilt immediately he formed in Andalusia, Valencia - , Catalo nia, and Galicia; separate Governments, which Shall prOvide for the defence of their respective territories, de tiching themselves from the capital, which is at present only a focus of intrigue and discord. Such atleast is the real plan of the Commhneros and the executinn of it is more than probable, especially in a case of foreign in- vasion. The Expeetador Of the 22.1 affirms that Sir Robert Wilson is to come to the Peninsula to command a Porto gum division, which will act against the French in ca_•e of invasion." In another part of our paper our readers will find an Address from a public-spirited Gentleman, Mr. F. W. Myers, to Lord W. Bentinck, proposing a Stibscrip• tiob for the Foundation and Support of Spa nish Hospitals in the course of the approach ing contest between Fiance and Spain.—Our opinions, so often expressed, on the policy •of the war, and on tl:e lire of civitinet necesnary to he ob served by this country, are unshaken ; hut the sub scription proposed by Mr. Myers i• so laudable in principle, and so unobjectionable with reference to the opinions of all political men, that o e ennfid. utly an•ici pate its complete success. Indeed, we should he sorry to believe ot hens ; for we should be sorry to give the Spa niards any reason to think that we had nothing to nicer them more substantial than the verbiage of Bsceliansliati re. velrv. No Englishman, be Lis opinions on the war what they may, can object to their sub.ctiption ; for, as it will be the acts of individuals, it can have no influence whatever on the question. whet' e the English Ouverniner , t ought or ought not to engage in the war; and those who maint tin the nega tive of that question may contribnte to this snbscription, without the slightest compromise of their opinion. We repeat that we most heartily wish it soccer,. The King is again under the painful influence of the gout, though the attack is much less severe than on the Tate occasion. The unwelcome return of the malady is attributed to the sudden change in the weedier. It was on Friday evening that the gout appeared, not ?bout the ancle, as before, hut in one of hts Majesty's hands.— Brighton, March 9. . Letters of the 27th nit.,receired yesterday frm Genoa, lend no support to the story of a meditated etubadtation of Sardinian troops to assist the French invasion of S l ain. Itayonn• papers, received last night, allege that a tu. mult had broke out at Cadiz, on the arrival of two regi ments of the line, in consequence of the inhabitan , a thinking that the Eing was on the point of Corning, and that they might, on his account, be subject to the hor rors of a blockade. Whatever Wit the came of the ccrm motions, its duration, it appears, was transient. The Cadiz papers, received this morning, says the G:traltor Chronicle of the 19th, which has come to ham', alluding probably to this affair, brings the welcome intelligence of the restoration of traLquillity in that city. It seems th•. mere reading of the Riot Act was sudicieut to disper s e the ►malcontents. Ten Austrian regiments were to commence their march from the Neapolitan territory about tbe ►uiddte of last month. A private letter from Paris, of Saturday last, says— " The Government here is not apparently secure in ev• ry respect of the loyaity of the troops of the lice. They have drafted 10,000 men from the different regiments of the guards, who are to make a part of the 10U,000 dentin to march into Spain." Private letters front Madrid, received yesterday, state that it had been finally determined that the King was to remove to Badajoz, instead of Cornuna, ae had been originally planned by the. Cortes. Ills Majesty, it seems, preened the former to the latter place. He was to be accompanied by Sir W. A'Court. Dentist, Masten S.—Yesterday, the following pia card was hung at a window in Crow-street : "The Mast. r. Key to Popers-,laying open the great ofthe priests —is published here." A great crowd is as assembled round this offensive exhithion, and several persons ex presfed their opiri.on: on its indecency and mischievous tendency. The prlpriemr was recommended to remove his effen.ive placard, which be refosed to do. an I upon his refusal, the Police Deicers displaced it, and the crowd -dispersed. 'flie placard was again exhibited this day, hut was again taken down, after the;moh had proceeded o break the windows.—(Preeam's *fuel-nal.)

On Friday the first division of the Court of Session gave jtuigment in the case of his 'Maj. sty's printets against the book.iellers of Edinburgh, in which the fore iner claimed the privilege of prohibiting the iinportatic and sale in Scotland of lift lea printed be his Majesty's printers and the two Universities of gnelind. The Lord Primate, Lord Hermand, and Lori 13hIguy, were of • opinion that the pursnere, by their patent, poeseesisd t',e right of prohibiting the ine ortation and sale of Mg •3 flout Enelaed, or any other country, in Scotland. Lord Suceatli and ( t vereentirely of a different oinicn, and did not think • that the patent conveyed I to the pursuers the right which they clai med. ''he operaron of the pitent commenced in 1798 ; an I heavy eepenses were soon incurred by the p itentees in forming the requisite apparatus for furnieliing the public with an a !Nina c supply of the p iviteceet books, on the faith of their title to enjoy the accruing emuluniente. This excliolve right, however, was not carried into im mediate effect. It would appear that the King's Printer in Eneand, and the Delegate , of Oxford ant aimbridge (who enjoy with him a c.incrirrent monopoly), hail lung been in the practice of importing their Bible; into Sere land; and by a parity of right, the sale of Scottish W hits was permitted in Enghanil. As long as this reci procity continued, the Scottiali p a tentees had no right to stir their pretensions, especially as their sales in the South were fully equivalent to those of the English printeri in Scotland. This mutual tolerance HIM however, chece• ed in 1604, by the result of a suit in Chancery, which the Universitiesßic had brought against a London Bof seller (hardson), by which an i njunction was gran t' d asainat the sale of all Bibles printed in or imported front Ste:eland. A,:ainet this decision an appeal ens entered in the House of Loris, but the order nos cor.f.rmed. Th's process bore bard on the pursuers. The Englil pater.- tees still continued to imputt their Bibles into Scotland, while they shitt the mareaugelner their neighbours. 'it,* loss experienced by the /alter, naturally determined them to try the weight of the converse right of exclueicen, which they considered to have by their patents. with this Intent, they in June 1521, presented a Bill of Sae religion and Interdict evilest the defenders, craving an embargo on the future sale or importation of all English C blee, without their sanction or authority. After smee procedure in the Outer House, which it is unnecessary to detail, full informations were a; last ordered to the Inner House, that the rights of the partied might be IQ- Imply and deliberately canvassed. The Solicitor lieneral (elope) was heard for two days on behalf of the Scottish patentees, and Mr. Cratssteria replied for the booksellers.

It was answered for the defenders, that the preengat'.v 3 was never vested io the King of Scotland, because the Scriptures were trinsLated in England, and thereby 10- MOW the-copyright of that Crown. That the pursers' eurnasirsioo rave merely an exelnsive right of printir (impriastadi), not of selling Bibles; and that a condo:Ad t o! e rance on the part of the,paientees had so :explalneci their tight, were there any doubts as to the, meaning of. the terms in which it was espresred. .

From his account it would appear that the corn rose at Mark Lane. We yesterday found this to be incorrect. Indeed, the hope which the Quakers entertained of war was gone before 'Monday, and, of course, the price of the corn would cease to rise. BOURBON WAR. It seems decided now on ■ll hands that there is no thing to prevent the French marching. The rumpus in the Chamber dues not appear to have been attended with any consequences. And if consequences t!o not inunt diately follow, in France, they seldom follow at all. — The Morning Chronicle is certainly become imbecile, as far as relates to the subject of this war. It has an arti cle this morning that would have driven Joh mad, if it had been written and published in the time of Job.—Af ter sdl its talk about the English feeling of Mr. Canning; after all its bragging about Mr. Canning having thrown his shield over the Peninsula; after all its boasting of Oh; mighty power of Britain. After all its arguments to prove that if the French went to war, we must ; after all its sarcasms on us for contending that the French would despise our remonstrances : it now has the coned ence to turn round upon us and say, that if the French Government beltent upon the invasion of the Peninsula, the policy of this country presents neutrality to us! it poured forth whole columns of satire on the Courier and New Times for bolding forth the doctrine of strict neu trality. What, then, does it now blame the Ministers for? Why, for nut having held " a bold and manly lan guage to the French." How many scores of times did we tell this paper, that the French would be stop;•ed by nothing but war on our part; and how often did we say ' that we could not go to war wit Lout blcwing up the debt! Twenty times did we put it distinctly to the Chronicle, "do you wish the debt to be blown up ?" And then we said, if you do not wish this, cea'e to clamour for war. It has found out, at last, that there can Le uo war without blowing up the debt; it is not for the blowing up of the debt ; and therefore it is now for peace and mu trality. --...---- Paris papers to the 10th instant have reached us, but without bringing an acru Int, as was expected, of the opening of the Spanish Cortes, or indeed any news that can be depended on from Spain. The only intelligence they rived that country relates to the insurgents, which is coloured according to the medium through which it ha; passed. The Ultra Journals place Bessieres near the ' gates of Madrid, with a force they imagine of 10,000 men ; while the Literal papers represent him as fleeing with little more than 1000 followers, and with little chance of ultimate escape. The ferment caused in Paris by the expulsion of M. Manuel, has not entirely subsided. The Colonels of the 4th and 7th Legions of the National &suds, have each issued an " order of the day" on the subject. The former is the Legion to Which the disobe dient serjeant and men belong. The serjeant only is made responsible in these documents. It was stated, however, by all the journals, at the time, that both the sub-officers a nd the men jointly refused. In the order of the day addressed to the 4th Legion the offence is merely de plored, but the Colonel states that the report made to bite by the officers who gave the order to the serje tat, had been forwarded by him to the Marshal, who commands the National (hind as ChM What the ulterior mea sures may be, is not pointed wit; but it is probably, in tended to ground an inquiry, upon this report. In the mean tirne,thedtlinqueat is a rival, in the popular favour, of M. lklatuel himself, The Pilote and the Cuaseitti eionnel state that " a great number of .
