FOR THE SUN. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' ACT. tide now in existence. Petitions are daily pouring in from all parts of the Kingdom against the renewal of the Insolvent Act, and they develope, without doubt, enormities of the grossest nature which have been committed under its protection, to answer the purpose's of unprincipled persons ; but are there no honest men who have found shelter under its provisions from the violence of. rapacious Creditors, acid whose families have been saved from ruin and star vation by its influence ; are there none of these, I say, to come forward and present co.mter-pe titions !---Has a measure which cost so many great and wise men the labour of weeks, nay, mt:! - .iis together, produced not one single effect which was intended ? Or, rather, is it not be- Cause those who have been relieved in their ne cessities are either unable to appreciate the bene fits miliCh they have received, or unwilling to ac knowledge their former situation, and thus sit down in quiet, while their benefactor is likely to be undeservedly overwhelmed ? Much more acute is the sense of injury than the sense of grati tmle. I admit, Sir, to the fullest extent, the justice o the complaints against the Act, for I am aware that most of the frauds enumerated in them are actually practised, and that a door has been opt•ocd, through which bad and good have rustled, almost wiz hoot di&criminat ; bat I require, at the sante time, admissions, on the other band, that all these charges amount to nothing more than abuses of the Act—that no remedy has ever been atternpted to be applied to them, and that therefore they cannot be pronounced incurable : we have, too, all these abuses before our eves, and surely Providence is not so partial to evil as to deprive the mind of man of sufficient strength to counteract it when it becomes palpably visible. It is a principle universally and humanely re cognized by our laws, that private or individual gain Must always be sacrificed at the shrine of Liberty, and with this principle before them, I II mild recommend those persons who are now the most ardent in their petitions against the, re newal of the Insolvent Act to take into their view an honest hut unfortunate man, who, by his re peated struggles with sickness, or other calami ties, has been compelled to contract a debt of ten (Jr twenty pounds with an avaricious and un merciful creditor, and being unable to satisfy his debt immediltely is cast into a prison without the least previous warning or explanation, there to spend his days nnpitied and unnoticed, a loss to society and a misery to himself ; let them con sider that such are not single instances, but daily occurrences ; and let them then turn their eyes to the Insolvent Acts, revised, amended, and correct ed, and say, whether it, does not behove every man to use his utmost exertions to stem the tor- rent of nrejwlice against a measure so vitally im portant to the causes of liberty, honesty, and humanity. INDOCTUS. ROYAL CoNDescaNstoN.---We are assured tha t a few nights ..go the PRINCE REGENT, in a merry mood, drterm;nrd to slip in the kitchen of the P.teilion. A scarlet cloth was thrown over the paremtnt, a splendid repast was provided, and good-himioured Prince sat down, with a se lect party of his friends, and spent a joyous hour. The whole of the servants, particularly the le tn>,lc part, were of course delighted with this mark of Royal condescension.—(Brighton He rald.) !' RD R or MR. TAYLOR THE SU RGEON.—A lett er kv4s received by Mr. FIELDING, of the Queen-stpare Office, on Saturd.iy, stating that an inditSiljouS MAD who lives near Somers -town, %la , : the murderer of Mr. Liylor, at Elornqvy, in 11))er last, and that proofs would be found in his h-hse. An examination in consequence took blur e, hnt the information was found to be itilamou•ly false, and a reward has been offered di.,,,,very of the writer of the letter, 1A Licit ik " Thomas James," MR. EDITOR .--The unrestrained and impartial discussion which you have so liberally allowed to the Insolvent Act, has, as might be expected, in• diced numerous Correspondents to contribute their aid for the general benefit, by whose cam- mtinications many .and serious grievance., arising nu the present operation of the Act, have been illustrated, which before were utterly unknown to the Public, and which certainly never could have ben contemplated by the original framers of the law. The knowledge of these grievances by son►c, and the actual experience of them by others, have created a prejudice against the Act, which no thing but a thorough conviction of some real ad vantages being likely to result from its operation On efface ; and it is, therefore, the object of this letter to awaken the reflection of all rational men, and prevent their minds from being biassed against a measure which directly and indirectly affects the true interests of society more than any other Sta- LONDON JOURNA LS; FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. (British Press.] I.lr e continue restraine►l, by order of the House of Commons, from publishing the proceedings in the case of Messrs. Giady an►d Quin. IVe under grand, bon ever, thfli an admission has beet► made by one at the parties, since the last examination, wish may probably remove this restraint sooner than we expected. [Morning Herald.] It is said, that the Countess of Aylesbury and Lady Anne Maria Bruce will shortly visit Paris, and that the nuptial ceremony between Count Mandeville and the above young Lady will take place at the residence of the British Ambassador. Plfirning Post.] In pursuance of an agreement entered into be tween the Government of this country and that of Spain, a person, we understand, is to proceed immediately in a frigate, with an order,!; to Vera Cruz, for the purpose of transmitting to England a quantity of specie collected at that port, which it will be recollected the Spanish Governor, in consequence of ,instruerions from Madrid, ..voold not allow to be shipped on board the Sybille frigate. [New Tinzes.] The latest accounts from Italy say, " The Prin cess of %Vales is still at Pesaro, where she sup ports theTheatre wish particular liberality. Young, Austin, ‘ehota she has brou g ht up from his child hood, is called Prince by his attendants." We undetstand that neither of the Royal Du chesses, whose pregnancy we intimated some weeks since, tvi!l undergo an accouchernent in this Country. This 'arrangement has been adopted, we hear, upon the principle that none of their off spring can be contemplated in the :ight of Heir Ap parent to the Throne; and, therefore, it is deemed quite unnecessary for their delivery to be perfected here. We believe that the Duchess of Clarence is likely to be the first of the new Royal Duchesses who will arrive in this Country with " a hopeful Heir to Britain's honoured Throne !"—(/bid.) [The Timei.] It is reported that some Officers of the Navy have been struck off the list for having accepted the command of some ships employed by the In surgents in South America, in violation of the Prince Regent's Proclamation, tot bidding such proceedings. By a law recently passed in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which is to take effect after Sep tember, Swedish ships, importing any other than the produce of Sweden, will, with their cargoes, be subject to seizure and confiscation. This law is in retaliation of severe restrictions in Sw e d en against the Dutch flag, and may be Justifiable ; but the wisdom of such a measure is very doubt ful—it is contrary to the views and policy of the Dutch Government in its best times.—(nid) DUTCH MAIL. A Dutch Mail arrived last night with Papers to Wednesday last, and Hambiirgh Journals to the 6th instant. The following are extracts 1 , -- " CONSTANTINOPLR, FEB. B.—The Emperor of Russia has written a very friendly autograph letter to the Sultan, recommending to the Porte the amicable arrangement of the still disputed points arising from the treaty of Bucharest. it is hoped, with the more reason, that this unusual step will have a favourable influence on the negociations of Baron Stroganoff, as the two Emperors both desire the maintenance of peace, and a part of the late differences is really adjusted. " The celebrated traveller, known by the name of Ali Bey, who was on a pilgrimage to Mecca with the Caravan, died not far from Damascus. The I'acha, by virtue of his title to inherit the effects of all pilgrims who die on the road, has taken possession of all his property, including the valuable instruments and manuscripts. " FRANKFORT, MARCH 4.—lt has been stated that the Committee for the Arrangement of the Territorial Affairs had separated without coming to any decisive conclusion. - This, however, is a I mistake. " STOCKHOLM, FEE. 23.—Winter, crowned cvith snow, has been joyfully welcomed in the mining countries as an oh friend. The roads are now covered with hundreds of vehicles conveying ore and coals. " SAXONY, FEB. 24.—The marriage of Prince Frederick Augustus, eldest son of Prince Maxi milian, With the Ai clidocliess Caroline of Austria, is now finally decided upon.

A substitute for walking has been aireaJy seen in this Country. It has, however, been entirely surpassed. by an Italian, who has made a sort of Pegasus of the hobby horse, if we may believe the Foreign Papers, one of which says:—" A Mi. BRIANZA, at Milan, has invented a new travelling machine, which is said to be far superior to that Baron DRAIS', and with which the traveller may go back warris or form at (Is. In the front of this vehicle, the. Milan Papers say, there is a winged horse, by the wiu6s of whicli the carriage is put in motion." 0 PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. PUrILIC BALANCES IN THE BANK.
