the gout last almost any length of time. There is no

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-

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.—

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

Slain.
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 disperse

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.)

CI t• Half.
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 claimed.
''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 patentees 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 injunction was grant' 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. The argonsent of the Ll-
mer want to est iblish the preiogative of his .Majesty, ue
King Sent'ani, to the exclesive right of printing and
distributing among his people the Sam ed Scriptures, In
order to secure correctness and purity of test; that this
right had been co imituricated to its delegates fora Iliwt-
ed pertud, under the obligation of tarnishing the pub!..o
witu a competent supply of these relighsas work., et a
reasonable prime, of suitable elegaece and neatnese,
•with'in accurate text ; and that the patent greeted to t':•
pursuers, while it secured there great purposes,
prohibited the sale et importation of all much weres
within Scotland.
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
to!erance 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. .
Lords iltesiesur and BaLleneT, With the NV:-
DENT, spoke as above stated, in Carew of the puraaer's
plea ; Lord SUCCOTH and Gimala for sksA of the deren-
dere.
The COURT then pronounced :lodgment —interdicting
the sate•anil is of Bible,* or the other staedama
bet the Cbnrch printed in England without the saaction
the Scotch patentees.
