EXTRACT OP-A LETTER.

HAMBURGH. AUG. 15.7—The Asseml3ly of the
States,of .Pomerania is .opened; and with great ap-
pearance of unanimity, t!)ouh the new order-of
things- is far from being universally; approyed of
there. . -

While ,the Negotiation's for Peace between
France and England are still in 4uspetise, all, accounts
' respefting the tennis to be expe&ed are' eagerly
caught at and discussed: Though it was generally.
believed in Paris that Peace would be prolainfed to-'
day, yet as this perhaps may-not be the case,
,the
following authentic Extradt of a Letter from 'a Coun-
sellor of State in Paris, to, a Friend in Hamburgh,
may possibly be:interesting to you
" You will very shortly hear of the conclusion of
" Peace with England—the terms are these : Sicily. '
" to be given up to King JOSEPH. King FERDI-
" NAND to have the Seven Islands. Malta to remain
" to England. Hanover to be restored. The Cape
" of Good Hope either restored, or at least to be
" made a free port. England to restore all its!other
conquests made in this Wan The English Ma-
" nufaaures to.be admitted as before the War, into
" all the possessions anddependeneies ofthe:Frencii
" Empire, Holland, Italy, &c. The Kingdom of
Poland to be re-established as before the last par 7
" tition; and Prince CONSTANTINE to he the King.
" A Northern Confederation to be formed, on the
" same principles as that of the Rhine, under the
" proteaion-of Prussia."

• " Reports have been very current here, for these
two days past, that a new War between France
and Austria and Prussia is at no great distange : and
indeed, should the arrangements respe6ting Poland,
mentioned in the above outline, be correa;
,the -lat-
ter Powers haVe so many reasons for opposing it,
that nothing but their own imbecility can extort from
them an acquiescence. It is now, however, too late
for them to think of resistance-the period- has pass-
ed in which their united efforts might have had
weight.
." It is . universally ,beliQved here also, that the
French are adnally marching to take possession of
Hanover. continual Couriers are passing between
Berlin and Stralsund: Should England make Peace,
Sweden and Prussia will probably be soon reconciled.
M.- BouRIENNE 'gives to-day a ball and supper' in
honour of NAPOLEON'S birth-day. Many of the
first (Sennan firinilie-s, and even some English, are
incited. The Irench who please may attend, tut
must pay three iouis d'ors per head."

GRIEFSWALD, AUG. 7.—The following is the
Speech with which hiS Majesty this daY opened the
Diet at this place :. ,
". It is with the most agreeable feelings-that I see
you assembled before- my throne, to confirm with
you the band-of that sacred union, founded upon the
.necessities of. my Gelman .Estates, and %Itich pro-
mises peace and content to yours, and to my poste=
rity.. ..Your weltare was the only objed- I had in
view. when I formed the, resolfUtiou of 'giving you
the same Constitution With the rest of My kingdom,
and, by that means, to unite you closer with the re-
mainder of my faithful subeCis. -
". I now declare to you that your welfare 'is the
only objetlif I have in view, and therefore I shall
make no further mention Of those 'events which pre-
ceded a change. so necessary in the Constifution,*as
this might awaken the recollection of those scenes,'
which, at this time, should be carefully consigned to
oblivion.

I think it necessary aISO to. &Clare upon this
solemn occasion, that this change of the Constitution
will by no means separate my faithful snbjeds from
their connexion with the Holy- Itotrian- Empire..
No; far be it from me, at thisjundure, to exhibit,
any such example !
" You are to confirm the' union which conne&s
you and myself so closely, together, after the manner
of your forefathers. --
" Good Sirs, Knights, and Gentlemen, let the
examples of the virtue, honour, lOve, fidelity, and
courage of your predecessors, at all times, continue
to operate upon your'. fellow-citizens, together with
'your estimable veneration for your King and Court=
,try. You will thus most worthily acquit yourselves
of your duties as Knights and Gentlemen.
" You good men of the venerable Priesthood,
your important calling obliges you to the, pra&ice of
every virtue, which is inseparable frbm loyal subjeds
and citizens. I have only •to express the wish, that
your pure zeal, and the indefatigable exertions in
your, vocation, to diffuse the benevolent light of true
Christianity, may dissipate false principles of every
kind, which are sometimes the offspring of, igno-
rance and profaneness.
" Good and laudable Citizens, you pos,sesi riches
and power ; apply them to the public good. May'
integrity, useful institutions, frugal economy, and
Moderate profits, be' the fruit of those advantages
which belong to your rank in life.
" You, good men of the order of the Peasantry, let
the fear of God,•indUstry, a&ivity, and your ancient
good faith, .be at all times the most certain pledges
for that distinguished esteem which belongs to your
rank,. by whOse labaurs all the. rest, are supported.
Equal your Swedish fellow-citizens in that unalter-
able fidelity -:and devotion which they have ever
shewn for their Sovereigns.
" This is that I require of you ; and if you an-
swe,r my expe&ations, you will`fulfil those duties in
the best manner which you , owe to me and yotir
country, as well as the oath which I riots tender yoU
to take, consistently with the laws of'Sweden..
" Of'this Oath, however, it becomes me to give
you the example : and I now pledge my Royal as-
surance before the King-of Kings—and which:oath
shall at this time, be administered to *mein your mo-
ther tongue. •
" To reign happily over, a people who have
tinguished them Selves so worthily in-the fear.'of God,
their fidelity to their King, and unity athong theM-
selves, 1 have onl' to. wish you the grace and bless-
ing of the Almighty; acrd l assure each bud every
one of. ou of my ltoyol !L WOW' and consideration."

, It has been whimsically oberved, that when the
present King of Batavia was christened 'there was
some dutibt as to the name which. should be assign-
ed to him, sbut that the matter was at once decided
by his mother, who remarked that, " as there was
not a lime ix the family, it was riOt to have a
Louis,"

The wheat harvest in most of the Southern and
many of the Midland counties of England is 'finish-
ed ;-,and the same may be. observed, of the southern
aspea-ts of the northern distriCts; The wheat is a
,good average Crop, and the bushel•of it will contain
not only better 'flour than for many years past, tint.
-will produCernoreof it by some pounds, as the wheat
has 'pot come, to such a state 'of maturity for many
,previous seasoiu ; so that Where a'given quantity\ of
land May not have produeed so much wheat this year
as .the last, yet, from the alive reasons, the quaptity
of flour will be the Same. Some.. of the, wheat has
been thrashed for-seed.; it is of a very superior qua-
lity, 'and we expeol, in:the ensuing week, many sam-
ples at market, for the millers' use: Barley and Oats ill
many parts have been cut, and a much better crop is
now expected, owing 'to the JUly rates. The seed
clovers look well and protnising, The gentle shOw-,
ers have fully realised the prospects Of yin abundance
of. hopS ; it is expected they will begin ,pickmg in
about ten days. The late showers have much im-
proved the seed-On the uplands and downy countries;
and the turnips never. planted better ; of potptoese
there will be a large crop, atid much reduced in price.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS.

-SURREY SESSIO;sIS, Auc :5.
EFOitE, THE HON-, MR. SERJEANT ONSLOW, AND THE

BENCH OF JUSTICgS.

Ti Court• commenced the business of discharg-
ing the Insol:ent Debtors confined in the King's
Bencl and Gaol.

John lliaxter, a Watchmaker, was brought up to.be
released. He was opposedrby 11;s -Creditor, who was
in the same trade, on the ground that he had so frau-
dulently condhted himself, that he was not entitled
to take the henef ot. the Ad. It was stated, that ori-
ginally the Mai 0 wed Baxter asniallsurn, under 21
ißaxter.called for payment at a time whea the Plaintiff'
had noticing less than a 501. note. He gave the note
to BAter, who he was going into the city, and
he promised to reu.rn in about an hour. .1-le, never-
came back with die note, but the next day his w=ife'
called upon him, anti told him he had lost the note.
Utz the other hand, Baxter endeavoured to spew. that
his creditor, had rarknowiedged his' having lust the
note himself It was also contended in his behalf,
that the Plaintiff, by arresting him for the note, "had
made it a debt,. and therefore could not alledge a
fraud as,a reason for detaining his debtor. t
The Chairman was of opinion .it was the case of
an ordinary debt;,..alid- Baxter was, accordingly dis-
charged.'

• • .THE_ HUMANE SPOTHECARt..
Serjeant Bowles, not a Seijeant at Law, or by mi-
litary-promotion, but merely entitled to-the naive of
Serjeant by baptism, clainied'lhe benefit of the.A6t.
He:had been- a Tyre Smith, and had kept a public
house.. In the-latter capacity be had failed; and his
Brewer had seized and sold all his effe&S. He was
'confined tbr 171. at the Snit of only one:creditor, and
that creditor was a snrgeon and apothecary. The Doc-
toes obstetric slc ill had keen exercised for thq publican's
wife; •He had assisted her at one birth-and one mis-
carriage, and his bill upon those occasions constituted
his. debt. The man of physic. was extremely,de-
sirons of treating his debtor as many of the Faculty
are fond of treating a patient; namely, keeping him
confined as long as possible. Bowles stated that the
Doctor had declared he hoped he borer would be
able to pay him, that he might eujpy the
.satisfac-
tion of detaining him in gaol all his life.—
It appeared-that in the schedule delivered in by the
debtor, there was a -defeCt; with regard' to the
enumeration Of three small silt*, which BoWles_had

received since his first imprisonment. He satis-
faaorily accounted for, than, and stated how he had
applied the money. The Court ,recommended it to
his creditor not to insist in so clear a case upon the
ainending of the' schedule, as it could be attended

with no advantage, and Would be the means of keep-
ing the pcior man till next Session, a period of two
months. But the Dodor was obduratc : he Insisted
upon stria justice,. and the unfortunate Serjeant
Bowles was rananded,

An Attorney, of Bristol, of the age of fib and' up-
Wards, was employed by a client to colle6t his debts
and administer to hia Wet% : in the ,course of that
process he got possession of b6Ol. with WhithhQde-
camped. He NNI2S advertised; arrested, and since
tried for the ofiencei the around, therefore, of op-
poidn. was, that under the 37th and-38th seetions
of the AR, or both of them, he was not in that
situation which could entitle him to relief under the
ACt.

The CuAir,m-41.11, after the Counsel had finished
their arguments, held that he wastot a proper sub-
ject of relief, and retnanded him. , • • . '

A Lady was opposed -by Mr, Moat's, on the
,ground of a conveyance of her house and furniture,
in Percy-street, Rathbone-place, to her son, a rurser
of a Man of War, and SeCretary to an Admiral, in
value amounting to 5141. to this. was ,t 6 be added
.2931. the Lady hail received on other accounts, and
not put in her schedule. The case was pressed bard
upon her by the Counsel, having no other evidence,
Mr. M nasor defended her, shewing,very plainly
how the assets that came to her hands were fairly
distributed by her ; that Messrs.. Robins, of Covent-
Garden, were the Appraisers„and that the value they
had fixed was what was given for the furniture.
Serjeaut ONaLOW was 'decidedly of opinion she
had not -done any thing that could obstrual her li
beration. She was discharged of course.
other cases wet e too trifling to report.—Ad-,
.lourned at six o'clock.

On Saturday an adjournment of the Quarter Ses-
aions was held at. Guildhall, London, before the ',RE-
CORDER, and the Aldermen SCHOLEY, DONIVILLE,
and HANKEY, tbr the liberation al prisoners-Con-
fined for debt in the several•prisons Within 'the City
of London, in consequence of an iqt'for the Relief
of Insolvent Debtors passed in the last Session of
Parliament. The number 'of prisoners liberated

were;

From Ludgate Prison - -
From Giltspur,street Compter .-
Fsom the Poultry Compter - -
And from the Fleet - -

Amongst the latter was Mr. John asninst
_ whLse claim. Mr. KNAPP said lie was instmeted
to snake: objections in behalf of 'a creditor named
Coilin;. Shortly afterwards, hoWeYer, the Attor-
ney, a Mr. LiomaxsoN, being Called; said, that the
point in opposition to Mr. King's liberation having
been referred to the arbitration of -Mr. GunNEY,and
Mr. KNArp; no further objetion remained to Mr.
hit 's eniargement under the statute, and he' was
accordingly liberated.
Mr. Alinesley Shee came forward ,to ciahn the
benefit of the statute, but hi;; claim was oppc)-ed
by Mr..A.i.LEy, on the ground that 'his debt was
contraaed
,under a fraudulent transaaion., nianoy,
obtaining a sum' of money from a )dung Gentleman
under the pretence of procuring for' him a place
, tinder GoVernment. Mr. Slice's claim was there-
fore refuse 4 under the statute.
!The Court adjourned to Tuesday morning next,
_ at,nioe o'clock.
