'Ebrroa,.—Being a constant Ut Atter of Your vahi3ble p3per—THß Suw-L-I hive seen sonic pertinent remarks on the Insolvent Debtors' Act---but really, Sir, I feel so sore from the gall int; effects of that Act, that I am out of all pa tience with the bare mention of it ; should it be renewed in aril shape, I hope those Members who are he!ter acqiutin!ed with the cOrnmercial interests of the country than the landed interest ran be, will he allowed to take a more active part in it, than they did in the: Act of which we have now so much reason to complain. The Lind Owners are not aware of the impositions practised upon us ; but as though the Creditor was a cruel hard oppressor, and the Debtor a harm less inoffensiv e soot, they have extended tuth in-, dulgencies to the latter as has proved in their nature and consequence ruinous to society. H w grosSly they '%ere mistaken; and I trust the past experience, though at an enormous expcnce to the fair traders, will teach them better. The Land Owners know but very !ilk of the difficul ties Tradesmen have to combat ; the Landlord can seize on the premises for his tent ; nor can he suffer by bankrupts—he is sure of his. twenty shil lings in the pound ; nor is he likely to suffer by bad notes. Not so the Tradesman. But to come to the text. Previous to the Insolvent' Act, Debtor in the country owed tie thirty-one pounds ; he sent round 'to his Creditors to cOmpOund, and from the statement made to t»e consented to take five shillings in the pound for my debt. Very soon after, the Act to which I allude took . place ; he availed himself of it, and I hare never received one farthing. When be returned home he sent me word that the business now was'his son's, and sent the some of the goods I had served him with, for which be had never paid, for me to get them Fnished, nor dared I to retain them, the law won't allow it ; though I have no doubt they were as much the father's property then as they were before he went into Horsemonger-lane prison. I am sorty to say I have many cases of that sort to complaio of, of which I will not trouble you. My firm opinion is, that the Act to Which lallncle‘ has tended very much to relax industry ; and not only given designing villains very favourable op portonities to effect their purposes, but it has tempted honest men co become rogues ; and have no doubt I should have been paid some debts which were owing to me, had , not the tosolVer.t . Act prevented it ; and there are now a considerable 'mother of persons who would be very much obliged to me to arrest them—their debts are of some years standing, hot they arecareless and imper tinent ; and some,kno wing toy hand-writing, refuse taking in my letters—they are returned, and I have paid the postage. To throw good money after bad, will afford no redress of grievances ; we must therefore suffer ourselves and fathilies tamely to be robbed, and that by the sanction of law, protecting men in idleness, extravagance, profli gacy, villainy.

The Earl of UXBRIDGE and the Seventh Hussars have received the public thanks of a meeting held at St Helen', for their services in that neighbour hood, during the late disturbances by the Col liers.—(Manchester Paper.)

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUM THE TReIGEDY OF THE " £ lie—an odious, damned lie— Upon my soul, a lie—a 'wicked .§IIAKSPEARg. SIR,—My lours are at this moment too much, and I am proud to say, too well occupied, to he devoted to such unworthy subjects as The Italian and its Author: but . to confute the malicious propagations, emanating only from a corrupt heart and little mind, I think it necessary to state, through the medium of your Paper, that no such conversation . ever passed between Mr. BunKE and myself as the Public Prints have specified ; and that Miss KELLY (whose talents I look on with enthusia , tie admiration), never was, to my knowledge, allotted any cha racter in the Play. Mr. PETER Moour., one of the Drury Lane Committee, excited, with some ability, my persoiml compas sion for Mr. BURKE , its consequence of which, I undertook to act in his Play; and had it - been produced, •I should have done my utmost to have fulfilled my duty to that Public, whose name I teach my child to bless—to whose protection my gratitude alone is due=-and over whose unprejudiced MiMI malevolence can never. have an influence. On reading the Tragedy of" Derangefl Intellect" (for that was the name it was known by in the Green Room) to my professional brethren, the only feelings . it excited were un-: controulable laughter, and pity,for the author. From this cri terion I took the liberty of suggesting to the Management the impropriety of producing a Play, which must have been at tended with considerable expellee, when there was not in it one gleam of hope:for its success. There is certainly some pretty poetry in the character which was to have been sustained by Miss CuRITI; and after that, I will say, in good act terms, Mr. BURKE'S Tragedy is the worst of the bad. In this opinion I am joined by the whole of the Dramatic Corps that were to have been concerned in it; and particularly by the present Acting Manager,whose judgment as an artist, and conduct as a man, form an impregnable bulwark in my defence. The publication of Deranged Intellect is all the answer neces sary for the author's attack upon say judgment; and for his inventive fabrications, I publicly tell him that he has not uttered one word of truth in the whole of his'apersions ; and I thus leave him to his contemplations, with disgust for his falsehood, and pity for his folly. • I have the honour to he, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, EDMUND KEAN. [We omit the Postscript of Mr. KcAN's Letter, hecauise it might endang.er a breach of the peace.] No. 12, Clarges-iireet, March 17. 1S i 9. The Author of the Tragedy and Mr. KEAN are at. issue respecting the statement which the former has given as to the opinions of the Actors who were to appear in it, and as to those stated by the latter. For their own credit, therefore, it may be deemed necessary for them to come forward and declare what they actually said on the subject. Th , Author says in his Preface, that " at a meeting the Per- formers were desired to state any objections that might occur to them ; they pointed out a few ; unimportant and frivolous indeed, even to redicule ! Such as they were, however, I at tended to them; and in one instance, perhaps, the Tragedy derived benefit. They lied no hesitation, they said, in de claring it as their unanimous opinion that it was ' a beau tiful Poem hut it was difficult for any one to calculate upon success in the present capricious state of public opinion." Indeed the public taste see'as to be in such a pitiable state, corrupted by senseless Melo Dramas, and wild fern' cious compositions styled Tragedies, that no man of real ge nius and judgment can be expected at this period to hazard his reputation on the S'taze. THR FRANKLIN MANUSCRIPTS.—It has been' observed with treat truth, • that by the publication of the Third Volume of the MEM ,, IRS, compris ing the posthumous and other writings of this ce-j brined man, his Grandson lihs 'completely re deemed his pledge to the Public, and faithfully discharged hit unit as the Conservator of Dr. FRANKLIN . 3 Literary Remains.— This third or concluding volume is divided into four parts; the papers which relate immediately to the public character of Dr. Franklin are brought together in the first writ : under the second are alisposed a number of es , a's of a uire.varie gated description, connected with general policy, econirny and commerce ' subjects in the discussion of which . the fedi citons genius of this great man shone with- such distinguished lustre as to render his practical remarks, inquiries, and teL casual hints on local topics valuable, for the direct tendency which they bad, in common with his more elaborate writings, to promote the welfare of society. The third part is entirely mi , eellaneoos, being composed of papers on religious , and moral subjects, interspersed with a variety of sententious remarks, or aphorisms, calculated to make a fixed impression on the mind, nod by their simplicity of operation to ame liorate the condition of mankind in the removal and correc tion of ;ells, which evidently obstruct the progress of human impiovement.

Plartiing In an important cue which occurred yesterday,' the Vice Chancellor laid it down that a foreign. Monarch, Governinent, Or Corporation has no po litical or independent character here, but in the Courts 'of 1.431 V are the same as private indiViduals, and can sue and be sued as such. The property of a foteigh Monarch, Government, or Col pration, stands likewise in the same relation. The only privileged charaCters in England are the Ambas sador, Envoy, and Suite. But should any person of the Suite engage in business, it causes a for feiture of the diplomatic privilege. Such is the law of the land. A Consul-General is no pri vileged character, and much less Deputy, Agents, &c. SHIP NEWS.

Cadiz Gazelles to the 24th nit. and others from Madrid to .th 4th instai.t, have reached town.— The former contain an account of a very desperate engagement between . a Spanish ship, called the Jupiter, with a very valuable cargo of specie, &c, from Havanna!' , and an Insurgent schooner priva•• teer, within 2 leagues of the port of Cadiz. The ch . : curnstances of the action were given by Capt. MAR.. QuEz,of the Jupiter, in a deposition, on oath, before the Intendant of Marines at Cadiz, on the 2lst nit; It appears from this statement, that the Jupiter, on the 19th of the same month, came up with the Insurgent privateer, and as the former carried the Spanish colours, an attack was immediately made by the latter, which frequently attempted to make a boarding on the Spanish ship, without, however, succerding in his purpose. After keep ing,_ up a brisk fire on either aide within pistol , sit t, the slaughter in consequence was very great. Thu crew of the Jupiter, finding that the schooner was much' longer, tLree or four tames requested Capt. MARQUEZ to haul down the Spanish and hoist Eng lish colours: this, however, was refused by him wi h great spirit, exhorting the people on board to do their best endeevoe;s. The privateer was i n the end obliged to sheer oti, as her mainmast was carried away. The loss of the Jupite.r was six killed and seven wounded ; that of ,the schooner wasnnt known, but it must have been very great, as her.deck was seen crowded with dead. 'and dying. The Jupiter was one of a fleet which sailed from Ha vannah., c a rder convoy of the Nrt• bine frigate, which reachc:l Cadiz some Weeks previous, but had bt , en separated from the rest of the vessels in bad weather.
