Ma. EDITOR—IIe prosperity andcivilization
which credit produces,;are those of slew, not of
reality, and tend neither to the real happiness or
virtue of the community:- too extensive commerce
introduees luxury, and Itivirry enervates society.
credit be left to its natural flow, it Will regat-
....
late its course as justice directs, will find its pro-
per level, and diffuse benefits and civilization and
happineSs ; for if credit be. nece'sjary to socie,y,
and especially is !society in which one
has a stiperainoidance, and another has notaa suf-
ficiency, there Must, be a flow of credit, and this.,
if left to itself, will work out its own channels,
as far as it is useful to the community ;• but if
.raised beyond its natnrarlevel, or pushed beyond
its dub limits by unjust or unnatural laws, it be-
comes the source of mischief, o'f wretchedness,'
and calamity. Therefore, if it he an iajustice
that imprisonment should not 'be a discharge or,
diminution Of the debt, for
.which it is inflicted,
tjte credit that is supported by this injustice is
only injurious instead of beneficial to the Com-
munity ; -while,- even if it were beneficial instead
at injurious, as, it is injoStice, it can never be
justifiable.
But it may be said, that " The Insolvent
Debtor's imprisonment is a just punishment for
the-imprudence which induces hint to 'ton into
debt without the certainty of being able to pay."
I say, that if I contract debt fraudulently I ought
to be criminally prosecuted for it ; if 1 do not so
act, and loss or failure and want attend me, my
misfortune is the natural punishinent of niy im-
prudence, wad is punishment enough It I run
in debt imprudently,' anti do not pay', my extrinsic
property, ill have any, is taken from me, and
the distress than follows is sufficient punishment :
if I have no extrinsic • property, my distress, is
equally my punishment, and is aggravated 4ar my
want of means to pay others or support thyself.
Nut how does what no human prudence categuard
desei ye punishment And cui bano the
infliction of such severity It affordi uo fetri-
butiou to hint who inflicts it. If 1 run in debt,
with whatever prospects and property and pre-
cautions I do so, it is possible that the next ill O-.
ment I may'not be able to pay ; and therefore no
human prudence can guird against the possibi-
lity of a failure of payment. If there be a fault
here, therefore, credit is the cause of it ; and,"
consequently, it is, in fact., the Creditor who
rought really to be the sufferer, as the possible
effect the Debtor cannot possibly guard against
the cause, the Creditor may. " Well (it may be
said), if those who are now prisoners for debt.
shOuld he discharged from those debts toe which
they have been imprisoned, should not those who,
have formerly been prisoners tor debt, and yet.
have been obliged to pay their debts aril of ac-
quired property, have just reason to complain ?"
They. have, I say, just reason to complain ; and
it is not my suffering the same injustice which
they have suffered, will give them less reason to
do so ; my .continuing• to suffer wrong cannot ICS-
semi the wrong which they have.already soffered
unjustly ; nor does. the prior existence of injus-
tice lessen tire present. injustice. And if the in-/
justice that has existed is ever to cease, it wait
have a beginning of cessation ; nor•is injustice
always to exist, because it has existed.till now.
It may be said, " 1f those who are now in
prison for debt should he discharged from their
debts and imprisonment, would not tire haw be
breaking its faith; or implied promise with the
creditors, as it was on she Law's allotting impri-
sonment for debt that the c!-editors conflued their-
Debtors i" 1 say that a bad or unjust•promise it
is better to break than to keep. If I.promise to
assist you in robbing, atia I bound in justice not
to desist from aiding you fir your robberies till
von please Besides, as the Creditors as well as
the Law have been parties to the injastice against
the Debtor, is it not more fair that the promise
of injustice should be broken to the injurer, than
preserved against the injured,? The Creditors had
their choice of taking•the Debtor's person, or his
acquired property, it he had as ; and if he had
not, at continaing hint their Debtor till he might
have; • and therefore, if they seized their Debtor's.
person, and deprived him of his liberty, they were
paid in the eye of reason and of justice. • They
consequently ha've not to complain of being
wronged in not being allowed to extract any
thing farther beyond the property which the
Debtor possesses, and which the • Law commauals
him to relinquish : they have nothiug to complain
of but not being supported '0 continuing injustice,
and aggravating injury. The Creditor disposes Of
his.merchandise,• or his acquired property, on trust
or credit, because lie can 'make no other profit-
able,
or at !cast so profitaltle, use- of it ; and he
should not expect to be tree from the usual risks
of venture fOr_a profitable return; Tile Debtor
does not extort' from or rob _the Creditor of his
property, but the Creditor lets the staff out of his
owl, fraud, and places it in the hand of another
with uncertainty. „The farmer, when be sows his
ground tot a profitable return, runs the risk of
losing the seed put into the geounol, at the waees
paid to his liii)..nrers for preparing the ground Find
sowiog ihe seed; and if he loses bath, .he calico( a

But it: imprisonment be at all to be suffered for
debt, some such apportionment, in order to lessen
the injustice, there should be. What this should
be it is hard to determine, as what my Creditor
takes from me by imprisoning me is of absolute
value, and which - I did not engage to part with,
and what 1 get from him is only of relative value
for no - one will willingly part with whet is of
absolute value to him, or necessary to
.his
,ence, and, therefore, imprisonment depr lees rite
of is value above all values of which debt deprives
my Creditor ; it deprives me of that ,Ibich would
be useful and is justly due to those Creditors who
do not imprison kne.-Lord Chancellor TALBOT
Said, that " three months' imprisonment ought
to be a discharge tor any debt, however large."
lb Lordship looked to the essence of jus►ice,
and to the logitimate'diflerence between natural'.
and acquired property ; not because he thought
any quantity -4 debt was essentially equivalent to
the liberty of three months ;•.but because, as im-
prisonment for debt was allowed; there should he
• some, though 'there "could ?tot be. an adequate
compens-atiou for tbeloss suffered by it, He con-
sidered in infprisonmenf, not only the exclusion
or prevention from acquiring that property which
the-Debtor might, if at liberty, acquire 'for the
benefit of his Creditors, but the trouble and pri-
vations and anxiety, the bodily hardships, and
the mental sufferings, the degradation in the eyes
of the world; a6d the self-abasemeM, the hun►i-
liation, even in his own mind, the loss of comforts
and character and credit, and the loss
,of that
which is an inherent property, a property inde-
pendent of all laws and compacts, and even of so-
ciety_ itself, the loss of liberty—of that wi,hout
-wliich every other blessing is, but counterfeit,

even-plenty is- tasteless, and healib itself vapid,
and without which life is withotit real enjoyment,
or rather without Which life, the true and manly

that to. liberty we have a natural and absolute
right, and that to acquired property there can be

._. . . . ..
absolute right but titrough-libenty, and that to its
there is ofzen but an adveotitiou•, an aCei*lental,
or fietitidus right. lie therefore saw that t!►ere
could be no Teal equivalence between liberty and
accOred p'roperty, whiciiis not altsolutely neccs-

nary to existence; a.nd, consequently, no rest
equality of loss between imprisonment, and
.the'
privation of property -by debt. But be Wished

it s:hottlit be Ile therefoiesaid, that

" three months' imptisonment ought to he a•dis-

then,, three months' imprisonment ought, what
ought three years to he ? And if three
months' imprisonment ought to 'be a dis-

charge for Hoy debt, to whatever amount, or.
h6‘veyer large, what term of in►prisoun►ettt sbooM

And it one Creditor has inflicted die three months'

LONDON JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[Morning Chronicle.]
Extract of a Letter from. Madrid, dated' March 27.
" At: express, travelling AN. id) the greatest
Lase, and di,:patched by General O'Donnel front
Cadiz', Ins atrived here, and the contents of the

dispatches have spread a most visible alarm among
Ministers. A most sensible alteration is rumark-
ed Lozano de Torres and Eguia. A great

b:lstie has been created in the depaitment3 under

their charge; and as they are the chief barome-
ters by which the public judge of affairs', curiosity
has been considerably awakened. As far as it
has been possible to judge from symptoms attend-
ed with unusual mystery and alarm, as well as
from what it has been possible to gather in pri-
vate channels, it is believed that General O'Don-
Del, the Commander in Chief of the grand expe-
.dition, has discovered a plot, prepared by the
disaffected called upon to embark. It is rumoured
that he expresses his distrust of some Officers
sell() have considerable influence among the men,
and that besides murmurs on account of pay. &c.,
there is.a great clashing of feeling and sentiment,
some being Serciics, others Liberates, and some
again Afraneesados, and a fourth class, men who
consider themselves under a state of compulsion.
It is thought he has requested fresh instructions
and powers, whereby much dilemma has been
created, though the Government was well aware
that this new service was not liked, and some
difficulties at tie moment of embarking were even
anticipated ; to remedy which, it had been pro-
posed that the King should go down to Cadiz,
under a hope that his presence would give greater
eclat and overawe the discontynted. This cer-
tainly would be a novelty, for Spanish Monarchs
have seldom quitted the capital, listless on hunt-
ing parties ; but it is whispered the King has a
particular antipathy to visiting Cadiz, a town so
latlly devoted to the Cortes and a new order of
things. The malevolent might besides say he
was himself going to America, as they did of his
father, when he thought of visiting Andalusia.—
Besides-, arrangements are on the lapis for the
Kidg's third marriage. This dissatisfaction among
the troops has been caused by the general dislike
to be sent out to serve in America, which has al-
ways beets considered a kind of banishment, and
the accounts ieceived from Morillo's army have
by no means tended to remove' it. The conduct
of the party on board the Trinidad transport has
also been publicly talked. of at the messes,
,and
approved as tar as it was dared. The Spanish
army never was fond of a Chief who is a rigid
disciplinsariail, and austere in his manners. This
is the case with O'Donnel, who keeps them tight

at work.
The disturbances at Valencia have not yet
terminated. Elio is constantly alarmed by pas-
quinades and anonymous letters. The bloody edicts
he published have excited general discontent.
" The cession of the Floridas is talked of here
as a measure long ago resolved upon by this Go-
vernment, and i's being carried into effect was
supposed to be delayed only by the influence of
another yower, jealous of North America. The
Spanish Government is not now, however, so
punctilious. Little or no gratitude is felt towards
Eogland, whose Government, it is supposed, se-
cretly favours the Insurgents. A considerable
sum will b. obtained out of the grants of land in
the Floridas, made to the King's favou"rites, the
Duke de Alagon and Pogo- Eurostro."

Letters from Petersbnrgh, of the 15th ultimo,
mention that Prince Gustavus of Sweden, son of
King Gustavus IV., bas obtained permission from
the Emperor, his Uncle, to proceed to England,
for the purpose of completing his studies at Ox-
ford.. Report speaks highly of the virtues and
talents of this unfortunate young Prince, who
excites universal interest and sympathy in the
North Of Europe. In these feelings we must
largely share ; for we cannot easily forget the
associations with which the name Of Vasa was
connected, nor the services rendered by two Sove-
reigns of that illusirious House to the cause of
civil and religious liberty. It is said that a great
Potentate, whose' generosity and magnanimity are
proverbial, has settled upon Prince Gustavus an
allowance of 20001. Sterling per annum, during
tl,e residence of the latter in England, and that
on the term!, of his Royal Highness to the Con-
tinent, he is to espouse his cousin, a Princess of
Hesse Cassel, who, if rumour be correct, has
latJy refused a matrimonial alliance with the new
Swedish Dyuatty.--(lbid.)
