persons in France. No ; but whole villages and.
towns, throwing themselves in his way, to. hail him
as their liberator, and to carry him in triumph films I
province to t‘rorinee, even to the very gates of Paris! 1I .
What a contrast ! Treachery and `200,000 foreign
bayonets, in the preceding year, after nn obstinate
resistance, in which every ledh of ground surmise!.
ine the capital had been defended, forced noon the
rimiest a King, echo, far from neknou lodging his
Crown as from the hands of the People, derived it
from divine right, and the sift of the &gent of l ,
Great Britain ! ! • I!
And here have we the secret
.of all this violent
roaring and indecent abuse against France. The
doctrine by which the people is brought in for some.
thing in the question of sovereignty—by which a
Royal Chief is declared to be merely the first ei:Len .
• •
of the Empire, watching over the interests of thOite
that appointed him to that high station, is the gnawing
serpent that that cankers their hearts ; it unsteadies them •
on their throne; it btings theM In an equality with
those on whom they never looked but as the tools of
their passions. Hence their rage and their haeterving'
to war. But let them beware and recollect the first it '
years .4 the French Republic. Their contort has , ,
thrown France wholly into the hands of a Irian who •
knows how much can be done with her; they have
made NAPoLany a new man—they have placed la
morale on hii side. Ilis present system of modern. .
..
tioe they call weakness; his Pithy decree abolishing
a most infamous trade, • so well contrasting the i •
jesuitical Declaration of the Sib of February from .
the Congress on the some subject, they laugh at as
ridiculous ; but let them beware, I repeat, lest the
laughing should soon be on the other side. France,
whatever the Courier, and its copyist the Times may
say, is stronger than eter in a spirit of union and
unanimity for their actual Government ; and I new
much mis'aken, if on the event of
oa coteest. our Al-
lies
do not quit the field shorn of those phosphoric
rays of glory by which alone they have been enabled
to support their antiphilatithropic system of pre. .•
tended pacification. •

A New Jon.—We see by the Daily Papers that n!
a new corps is to be formed, to be attached to the
1 Quarter-Master-General's Department, to act as
pioneers to the army ; and that the Colonelcy is to be
given to General CAPEL, half brother to the Earl of
' Essex, with the title of Chief Pioneer, and the al.
' i lowances of a Major-General on the Staff. We have
' never heard of this officer's military fame, and there.
r
fore are bound to presume that his talents lie another
I way, and that this little sop in the pan, not less than
.
15001. a year during the war, is given to propitiate . .
the favour and support of some of the Nobleßelatives
• of the forthcoming Chief Pioneer.
The Bill now passing through Parliament for the
amendment of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, will have
the beneficial effect of compelling debtors to deliver
[ up their property to be divided among their creditors,
1 instead of being permitted to live in gaol, on the pro.
duce of their estates, and leave their creditors with. ..
out remedy. The following is the outline of the Bill: 1 ''
r The preamble to the new Bill for the Relief of In.
solvent Debtors, states that whereas the imprisonment
I of Debtors bath been found in many cases insufficient ( ..
. to induce them to apply their property towards the
. payment of their debts ; and the discharge of Insolvent • i
'r. Debtors, under the provisions of an Act passed in the
53d year of the-reign of his present Majesty, for the •
Relief of Insolvent Debtors in liagiand, hath beers
.
foiled injurious to credit and to the morals of the
subjects of this realm.—lt therefore enacts that any'
.:,.
creditor whose debtor has been confined in execution,
D may petition to compel such debtor to deliver up his
i property, to be applied in satisfaction of his debts.—
Every debtor on being served with order, shall ow.
k oath deliver a schedule containing a description of his
s creditors, the amount of their debts, and a discovery .
e of his effects. The punishment of debtors refusing te
e comply with the order of Court, and to make di;-
- covery of their effects, is to be imprisonment, 09.1
. their goods and effects to be divided among their e'e-
n ditors. Prisoners not to be intitled to their discharge,

s until they shall have been confined for certain retinal
- of time accorrlittg to the amount of the produce a I.

- may be discharged after examination. No prisoner ~

ri by Act 53. Ceo. 111. Prisoners confined in tl,e
, King's Bench or Fleet Prisons, and remanded, may
is be ordered to be confined in e!ose custody. Prisoners . ii'' r
