IC GOAT Dqiutt Clerk of the Peace. FRAPICE. Abstract of the Report of the Special Commission of the Chamber of Peers, on the Pi oject of Law re. specting Divorce : The Law of the Bth of May, 1816, abolished Di vorce, but it only consecrated, n we May so speak, the principle of the abolition. The secondary dispo sitions necessary for developing itr consequences were still wanting, and it is the object. of the new Law Which is now proposed, to supply them.—Tho first article enacts that , c Every pursuer of Divr•rce, attic / within three months of the publication of the preset law, shall not, in terms of the law of the Bth of May, 1816, follow up his suit, by obtaining a decree , f separation of persons, a mina d Moro, or who shall not intimate to the other party that he wishes to execute as a decree of separation, the d'e6tutive de cree which had authorised the pronunciation, of this. divorce, shall be held as having desisted from his sn't or abandoned all advantage from the decree. He shall only then be permitted to pursue for a separa tion of persons, nn bringing a new action. reserving to him always the benefit of his former grounds of action. The Commission consider this a very wise regula tion and liable to no eiception. The second article is as follows :—" Parties whose divorce has been pronounced, and who are not as engaged in another marriage, may be re-united. From all other marriages they are interdicted until the decease of one of them." A considerable difficulty has been experienced with respect to this article. It is deemed extremely pro. per in the first instance, that divorced persons should be invited to re-unite themselves, and the cause of a legislative regulation for that purpose being neces sary is, that the power of re-union had been formally done away by the Civil Code. The law of divorce, although pernicious in its effects, had yet its rules and its principles. It was not wished to make a joke of divorce, and an interdict was therefore passed against persons once divorced ever re-marrying. Oa aboreling divorce, that iitterdictEn had of course no longer any Application ; and, on the con trary, the reunion was called far by all those consi derations which had dictated the law of abolition.... The difficulty then, with respect to this article; applies only to the second part of it, which enacts, that, " From all other marriage they are interdicted until' the decease of one of them." Numerous obkicsions against this provision have been stated, and urged with much earnestness; but a majority of the Com mission agree in thinking that it is imperiously Balled for, by the existing state of the laws, by morality, and by religion. For, first, the law proposed cannct be contrary to that of the Bth of May, 1816, which abolished divorce, and along with it, of course, every thing, which can be pleaded as a result of it. The law of abolition left whatever was already - done, and which it could not binder, to subsist; but it prevented all that it could prevent. It is true, that one of two divorced persons may have already re.married ; but is it any reason that because there has been one misfortune a second should be permitted ? The institution of di vorce having been judged abusive, it is right to dimi. nish the abuse as mach as possible.---kilt, Morality forbids marriage with a second wife before the decease of the first. Our first studies tell us that.the relation of husband and wile is indissoluble. Confuse& viri ees mann, individual* vita consurindinem corathurie, hewn patility of character—violence of conduce-21'e nut reasons sufficient for annulling se sacred a Ompact." —Perseverance is virtue; fidelity a duty. &fly, Religion speaks with a still more cOMfetaGd 'in voice. When the law of divorce was estabfiLvd, there was no State religion ; marriage svgs regulatal as a purely civil institution. But now Cathetic religion is declared and recognized by the C. - •:sirtar as the religion of the State ; and can the State be in contradiction to its religion ? Such cer tainly would be the case were one of two divorced per.. ons permitted a.) re-marry because the other hadoshile thealkw of divorce existed, taken that advantage. It marriage, like other compacts, were an act purely civil, the plea would have some weight; when a civil contract is broken by one 'silty, it is equally so for the other. But marriage, toe lit st of contracts, is not an act simply civil ; it holds a mote algest place in society—it is consecrated by public decency and by religion. Destroy as yon will the civil act, if public decency and religion reclaim it, there are sufficient reasons for preventing the party not re-married front entering into any new bonds. The Articles 3,4, and 5, regulate the formalities to be observed when two divorced parties with to be re-united. Article 6 relates to the recognition of children who may have been born of divorces' parents, notwithstanding the divorce. The Commission propose here the insertion of a new Article, in these terms:--" Persons divorced, who have re-united themselves anteriorly to the pre. Sent law, shall be excepted from the formalities pre. icribed by Articli 3 and 4. It shall be Etlificient that they declare thew re-union to the Civil Officer, who will receive the declaration, and make mention of it in the public registry of marriages, conformably to 'As . . isle 5 and 7 of the present law." The other Articles of the law are rept!sr:ed without any observation. • • lists day was pub shed, in foolscap aro, a new Edition, Wes. ward by Engravings, price Ts. boards, of riCHE PLEASURES of HOPE, with other Poem;.
