INSOLVENT DEBTORS.

Audi allcram Parley,.

MR. EIDITOR.-Your Correspondent, MERca.
TOR, has advised that Meetings should be hell
by the Merchants and Traders in every Ward or
Parish of the Metropolis, and that Delegates
should 'be chosen to form a General Meeting, so
t bat the sense of tlie rading Interest be brought
into one focus, and that a Petition be presenttd
to Parliament lot' a continuance of the Insolvent

Act, or its total abandonment, urging as a reasmi
tiiat this. will be the fair way of collecting PUB•

LIC OPINION.

.With deference to your general Readers, I
would humbly suggest that the public opinion will
be more correctly -ascertained in the Legislature.
''The Merchants and Traders are generally inimi-
cal to this Act of Parliament, and in many in-
stances I believe the general cause of cotnplakt
is, that the Act has tended to check that fictitious
credit which was baneful to those who obtained
it, and a fruitful source of advantage to those
who gave it. The law which heretofore autho.
•
rized protracted imprisonment for civil debt, en-
couraged Traders and others to give incautious
credit on account of the facility of causing such.
imprisounient, the effect whereof frequently in-
duced relatives and friends to pay that which on
no ground of equity colild be expected front them.
That facility is now at an end. And if the Mer-
chants and Traders should be induced to petition
for a tep or discontinuance of the Act of Par.
liamet,t for relief of debtors, I should recommend
the unfortunate persons who are the objects of its
provisitins to unite and petition for its conti-
nuance ; or that some other legislative measure,
founded in equity/and benevolence, may
.he the
means of restoring to liherty the hundreds already
confined, and tor the Inture relief of the much.
greater number of those whom the pressure of the
times, and unavoidable embarrassments, may place
in a situation to require such relief. Thus the
two appeals to the Legislature will he more likely
to ascertain the general sentiment, than the par-
tial petition of the Trading Interest alone. " Si
non -sit tibi quod reddas quare ueciperet Creditor
Cubile taunt a te."—SoLoNpN.

If MERCATOR pursues his recommendation, or
if Peiitions are offered front any congregate body
of persons in trade, I shall not be wanting in en.;
deavours to counteract the partiality which seems
to me to arise from intetested motives.

(FROM TEIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.]

Morning Chronicle.)

In consequence of the intervention of the Allied
Sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle, the family of Buo-
naparte at Rome have been invited to choose and
nominate a Physician to attend on the Ex-Em-
peror in St. Helena ; and accordingly they have
appointed M. de Beanregard, the able medical
man who attended on Buonaparte in the Isle of
EPra, and who returned with him to Paris, where
he remained at the particular request of Napoleon,
but with instructions to follow him to North Ame-
rica, as soon as it should be known where he took
up his abode. M. de Beauregard is to go out im-
mediately ; and we have no doubt but that it is a
part of the arrangement, effected by representa-
tions made at Congress, that this Gentleman will
not find Sir Hudson Lowe the Governor on his
arrival.
