It geueratial popi:lio and toatily habits among them, i t accu stomed them to odullle among the inferior ranks of the state; it soppiied .them with atu hm'icurable exercise and honourable acquirements for the general protec tion ; and if even those ends were not all ensured together, it at least drew them away from those pursuits, which, degrading and unhappy as they were, naturally assailed men of rank and fortune, and in corrupting them, corrupted the most Wu encingand important order of society. (Hear, hear!) his Lordship then proceeded to enumerate the other powers of the Bill. Amongst the rest it pro.. vided for his Majesty's acceptance of the service of single companies, the officers being-entitled to half-pay. These companies to be attached to re. giments of the line, or formed into battalions by themselves. In this case, the preferment Ivould not suffer any obstruction, as the officer com manding the attached company would follow the order of the regiment, and these employed in the battalions of companies would of course not be in a condition to interfere with the regulars. The only objection which seemed to be taken to this measure was, that officers looking to permanent rank would naturally engage all they could 'to volunteer; and thus impair the usual demands of recruiting from the militia. The answer might be, that us it was by no means intended to stop the usual recourso to thirMilitia for the support of the line casualties, officers would have it in their power to volunteer still, as they had done pre viously. He expected the concurrence of the House to a measure which promised to be of the most signal use, and he would not therefore take up their time further upon the subject. The Duke of NORFOLK wished to know what was to be the rout* of promotion hi the case of the attached company. *The officer he knew was to have his rank dated from the day of his joining, but was he to follow on thenceforth as a regular Captain on a footing iu every sense with the rest of the regiment ?

Delitors in the fide of Wan, Lord gIOMOUTH observed, that a Bill of a similar na ture had been presented from the Island and laid before the 1 76 1 7 (1 4wititt a that lerf authorities had been consulted; and that it was, unfortunately, found to contain matter so ex orittierwble, that its objectscould not he complied with under that form ; that it had been sent back with a rrenannenda alio; to the Local Legislature to opicinate it anymore less likely to be excepted against ; that tite Legislatnie broil not sine, prepared such a Bill , and that it would be advisable] to leave the weasurp witlt • MILMA BILL, on the question being put far the second read , in;, Lord BATtronsr observed, that it was scarcely vemsary to remark upon the singular and admit.. able features of the war. Our successes,---the great battle of Vittoria,- r the possession of the Pyrennees,.--the advance into the enemy's terri• tory,--,were alt sufficient grounds for persevering the great cause which we !fad begun, and ex ' citing and invigorating the resources of the coun try. If our successes had been inferior, even in this there would be much reeson for continuing and inereasing our efforts. While so noble a spi rit had been raised in. L'irope, while such high interests were struggling for in the North, it wen slot fitting that a Power of the dignity and rank of England should•not rake a share worthy !herself in the great cause of nations, But let the House look upon passing events, and if they bad not then ground, let them find it in that which had occurred between the time when this Bill was in troduced anil the present moment,---that noble burst of patriotic feeling which had arisen in Hol land, recalling old attachments, returning to an cient loyelty, renewing ancient habits, and friend ships, and objects. It was hardly necessary to say a single word its justification of the principle of increasing the military and disposable means of the country. He wou ld not take up the time of the House any further than in explaining the basis of the measure which be was to propose to them. The mode of increasing the regular force had been frequently a matter of consideratiop with their Lord>hips, autl it appeared that the most valuable .source was to be found connected with the Militia system. The first step had been to ellove wple voltinteeriog into the line : the present - Act bad a farther view, cud it contemplated the service of the volunteer, both as a soldier of tba line, and of the militia. It seas proposed, that in Ovcry regi ment %nem nine hundred men volunteered, three Yield-officers should be allowed to volunteer elr; where 600, two ; and where 300, one ; but in any regiment 'whose number did oot amount to tile loweat ratio, it theet , tbutths of the • whole vulunteereg they were also to liftve one field officer, Where a sufficient number of field officers did pot offer, the right of appointment to devolve to his Ma jesty... These iegimeuts were to be formed into provisional battalions, commanded by Wafers of the line, the officers receiving half-pay. Their L"Ill'hil" would scarcely regret, on knowing the .1 flume of the utilitjte , that those officers were likely to . share in the liberality of the House, great proportion of them were meritorious Gentle. oleo, %vlitew income largely depended Otl their up, eointment in , ' the service, and who in th e p ro . sp,et. of a p e a ce saw before them only a painful diminution of their pompetelee. He could not help thinking; it fortunate that this measure al lowed, if he might he permitted the term, an ex cuse fur insuring to them the reward of their ser vices. There were but few additional circum entices. Oee wag, that militia officers thus serv ing should be equally with others subject to the usual form of the line Courts-Martial In the next place, no ticid officer of a provincial bat talion was to have a higher rank than that of Lieutenant-Colonel . ; for, as it was the intention, that, when acting in the field; those bodies should always be under the command of an officer of the line, it miJit otherwise happen that the militia officer should he senior to tile line officer. An other limitation was, that not more than three fourths of, any regiment should be allowed to rolanteer. —lt might be objected, that there , eoeld he a hardship in prohibiting the ser -0:' men who were willing to conic forward. %et, this answer was, that in every regiment these was a proportion, and that nearly amount ing io th e r,r,lper(in e stilted, of men who, from ( , r 11,7cioc i a, not ht to be exposed to the / a l 7WIIVC win! thought (Nina! t• - ) ii,elo OCCllplition at hom e _ wer e b e tte r Taw: :,,z‘ircie,l tightly to a foreign campaige. tie cot,:, not, h)wever, impress it too tally on the tb.rt It wits liy no means within his ideas Su Heak ddin it the !Ant, of the Militia.

The Duke of NORFOLK only wished to have the matter explained. He was even anxious that it should not be supposed lie had any idea of imped ing the progress of the Bill. Under the present circumstances, it was his wish that it should be expedited as rapidly as possible. It was agreed that it should be read a third time to-morrow, - -The Bill was then committed, and the Hou4e adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Mr. H.

FOREIGN DEBTORS. sir SAMUEL ItOMILLY brought up a Petition from cer tain Foreigners, (Swedes) confined in the King's Bench, praying u that if any alterations wore to take place in the h. eolvent Debtors Bill, the benefits of it might he extended to them. The Honourable Member then proceeded in comment on the Bill as imoracticable in its a:Achim:Ey, and as inju rious from the delay it must occasion, and hoped that at least same teosporary substitute might be provided for it, The Pe tition was then brought up. Mr. LOCKHARTsaid,that it was not his intention totuove for a Repeal of the Act, but only to collect the principal douses in the Insolvent Debtor Acts . , and embody them toge ther' in the present Bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that he believed this• d►►y would not pass over without a specific remedy being brought forward by a Noble Lord in another place. [Here the Speaker interposed, saying it was not regular to Teter to the-supposcd proceedings 9t the other House.] The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then observed, that he might he allowed to say, that he was as:►►red that a n►ea sure affording speedy relief to the persons who were ag grieved by the delay under the present Act, was in prepara tion, and would he passed before the recess. Mr. LocKnater postponed bringing forward his motion on the subject till Monday.

M. we saw arrive in this town a column of French troops, commanded by General LAXIBUDIEU.— The Russians were forced to retire upon Achun and Verden, after having suffered a great loss.— The - greatest order reigns in the town. COPENHAGEN, OCT. 23.—The two following Declarations against Russia and Prussia, appeared on the 22d inst. " The alliance of the Imperial Russian Court with Sweden was concluded last year, at a time when the King could not entertain.the least sus picion of the Danish States being exposed to any danger from the side of Russia, with which Power his Majesty had most conscientiously kept up those amicable connexions which for a long series of years had existed to the benefit of both States.— But, nevertheless, the King at length found him self convinced that his Imperial Majesty had by the said alliance engaged himself, by his assist ance, to put the King of SWIDIN in possession of Norway. " Exclusive of the repeated declarations of the Russian Court, that his Majesty could by no means avoid making the sacrifice of his kingdom, as required of him ; plainl y spewing his Majesty the danger threatening his States by the alliance between Russia and Sweden, the public debates in the English Parliament sufficiently proved, that Russia had even prevailed on the English Go vernment to join the treaty concluded with Swe den at Abo, hi which the subjection of Norway to Sweden was made a fundammtal point. The Russian Court having by this means clearly laid open to view, that it entort.t....l F routicat de signs which were not only contr&ry to the close and amicable connection which the Sovereigns of the Russian Empire had for more than a Century made it a rule to continue, but even had the evi dent intention of tearing a kingdom from his Ma jesty, who therefore had no other resource than of thawing closer the tics of union which his Ma jesty already in the year 1807, had entered into with his Majesty the French Emperor, whereby the undivided possession of his States is guaran teed to his Majesty. " His Majesty, with unbounded confidence, expects, that by the support of his Imperial Majesty, and the powerful assistance of his faithful subjects the security of this Mo narchy will in future remain undiminished. The Emperor of RUSSIA has already recalled his Embassy front the Courts of his Majesty the King, and therewith caused it to be declared, that the diplomatic connection between the two States was broken off on his side. " 'The King replied to this declaration by re. calling his Embassy Irma the Court of St. Peters• burg. His Majesty saw with regret. the friendly connection dissolved which had so long continued between his Majesty's ancestors and the monarchs of the Russian Empire, to the mutual benefit of both States. So far from having given any cause for the States being thus involved in war with the Russian Empire, the King has at all times given proofs of his inclination for the advantage of Russia even by applying the forces of his States for such purpose. In consequence of the alliance existing between the King Anti his Majesty the Emperor of the FRENCH, an aoxiliary corps of troops has joined the French army to assist in keeping the enemies of his States from the borders .of Holstein.— The King t.onJidently relies on the attachment of his troops, and on the v►►lour with which they, in conjunction with the troops of his HIGH ALLY, will cnn►bnt in defence of their native country, and for the preservation of his States, not having b een able, by his paternal solicitude to preserve the pence." OECLA4taiTICIN. a Th e King has always used his utmost en deavours to preserve a good understanding and amicable connection with his Majesty the King of Paves/*, his INtliesty might, therefore, and on gc►od condition, have expected to have received imly proofs of a conduct congenial with his Ma .iesty's own sentiments, on the part of that Prince. NeVti thelesS, has received dill esti intormstichn_ that th e King of PRVSSTA has joined concluded at Abo, anti has insured 0,4 jactl' of Norway to Sweden. As the interests di Danish Monarchy have been insulted and sat ficed by this act, which aims at eudangeriag6 security of the Royal States, his:gajestli diploru found himself moved to thro w up the connexion with the Prussian Government, slig besides has given cause for so doing 10 01 thrown obstacles in the way of the corroP al Bence of the acknowedged Royal Idieistt ° er, Berlin.
