ENGLILII INSOLVENT DEETONSI artt.
on the third reading being moved by Mr. liottwza,
he called the attention of the House to the Petition
of prisoners confined for debt in the Isle of Man. In
explanation of the laws of the Isle of Man, he shewed
that a stranger contracting debt there was not liable
to be benefited by the native laws of ir solvency, and
neither the Scottish nor English laws could reach
them. There was no county or parochial allowance,
and the poor debtors were certainly in a most deplo-
table condition; debtors, too, sought refuge among
therm from the persecutions of their creditors on the
Continent, anJ, contracting debts in the island, their
new creditors had not power to secure their property
which was remaining in Britaia or in Ireland. He
would therefore propose as a clause—" That the Bri-
tish laws of insolvency should, from the Ist of May,
1811, be extended to the Isle of Man."
The clause was thea brought up and read.
Mr. STEPHEN objected to the clause, on the
ground of being prejudicial to the English creditor.
It was well tnown that the Isle of Man was a place
of refuge for debtors from this country, and being
discharged under this Act, and continuing to reside
in that Island, they were enabled to draw their property
from this country, and thereby defraud their credi-
tors in both places.
Mr. HORNER, in explanation, said that the Eng-
lish creditor would be in exactly the same situation as
before, and (upon the suggestion of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer) proposed, as an amendment, that
this clause should only extend to persons not natives
of that Island, which, (after a few words in appro-
bation of the measure by Mr. Abercromby), was
agreed to.
The House then went into Committee upon these
several amendments, which were read and agreed to,
the Report received, and the Bill, with the amend-
ments, read a third time and passed.
The Irish Insolvent Debtors' Bill was then com-
mitted, and
Mr. HORNER proposed several new clauses simi-
lar to those he proposed in the before-mentioned Bill,
. which were severally read and agreed to ; the Report
received, and the Bill read a third time and passed.
After some private business was disposed of the
House adjourned until Monday next.

An Anholt Mail arrived last night, and another
this morning. The intelligence from the Baltic on
the subject of the line of policy about to be adopted
by Russia has been extremely contradictory of late,
as the following extracts of letters will skew :
" GOTTENBURGH, JUNE 17.

- -
gg The last letters from Stockholm speak in positive
terms of war between France and Russia. The Rus-
sians are fortifying themielves in Aland, where there
is a force of 10,000 men.

" The storm is gathering, and will, most assuredly,
be dreadful."
Extract of another letter from Gottenburgh, of the
same date :
" Our accounts to•day corroborate what appears
in the newspapers, of a rupture between Russia and
France."
A Gentleman who has arrived from Zealand, as-
sures us, that every thing that has been stated respect-
ing the appearance of Marshal Nay in that Island is
unfounded, notwithstanding what has been so confi-
dently asserted of his personal interview with the Mi-
nister at the Court of Copenhagen.
The following are some exu acts from the Journals
brought by the above mails :
VIENNA, MAY 25.
His Serene Highness the Archduke Palatine is still
at Vienna, and his departure is not mentioned, which
gives the lie to the reports invented by the stockjob-
bers, that the situation of Hungary required his pre.
sence. That kingdom is perfectly tranquil.
HAMBURGH, JUNE 10.
By letters from Copenhagen, of the 4th of June, we
have jefevinatlen. that increase of duties has been
',resent in the duchies

laid on all colonia►
of Sleswic and Holstein, and• all future importation
of such goods is totally prohibited.
ELSINEUR, JUNE 10.
The prices of the necessaries of life are now risen
here enormously ; a fathom of fire-wood costs from
34 to 86 rix-dollars. This increasing price of fuel
makei us dread the approaching -winter.
HILSINBUIaj, JUNE 26.
•
A serious insurrection took place among the pea-
santry in the neighbourhood of Malmoe, on the 17th
and 18th instant, on account of the conscription
from 1200 to 1500 men assembled, armed with
scythes, flails, forks, &c. &c. The military were
called in to disperse them—a dreadful scene ensued ;
40 of the peasants were killed, and 130 wounded,
besides 200 taken prisoners; the others retired to their
homes. Similar acts of insubordination have occurred
in other parts of the kingdom, some of which have
been pardoned, and others visited with death and the
severest punishment the law can inflict. It would
seem as if these deluded men received the conscrip-
tion, not as a measure dictated by motives of national
policy and benefit, but as the essay of a similar mea-
sure originated by a great continental power, and
adopted only from a congeniality of designs and sen-
timents with that power.
SEMLIN, MAY 18.
General Count Kutusow has divided, the Russian
army into four large corps of infantry, and one of
cavalry. The main corps of infantry and cavalry is
