Yesterday evinced the determination of the Government to grapple with the Association Bretonne—the result shows that its objects can no longer be questioned. A letter of M. la Flue, alluded to in the papers of this day, proves the fixed resolves of the Associates to persevere—a crisis is, consequently, at hand. A catalogue of the crimes committed in France, under the eye of its celebrated police, would affright a foreigner about to make this country his residence. A detailed statement would be tire some, but a few brief instances may not, perhaps, be uninteresting, or altogether useless. In no country in the world is the value of human life at so low an average as in France. If a gentleman receive a mere construc tive affront, tyrant Custom extorts from him the peril of his own life, and that he place that of the offender in jeopardy, " in the field of honour," however much he may be imbued with orna ments of religion and humanity. If a charcoal-porter, or water carrier, suspect the fidelity of his mistress (an oyster-wuenan for example.) he puts her to death in the most cruel manner with his horrible knife, and then either anticipates the guillotine, by turning his weapon against himself, or, after an imbecile attempt at escape, mounts the scaffold with a " sang frold" disturbed only by an oc casional sneer at the attending Minister of Religion. If a soldier receive a rebuke from his superior, he, very quietly, loads his mus ket, and removes the stain by blowing out his own brains—some times, it is true, taking the life of his unhappy officer " en passant." A losing gamester stops at no crime to supply his wants, unless in the first paroxysm of be incapacitates himself from injuring others, by suicide. passion ry day we read of cases of parricide and fratricide, sufficiently revoking to make the blood curdle in our veins. Robbery is frequently followed by the most horrifying murders; simple homicide" without premeditation" produces no sensation even of disgust. Can any thing be more deplorable than this state of society ? The trials of four individuals for assassination stand fixed for this day, with the results of which I hope to be able to acquaint you by this post. The trial of the adscreant, for the murder of his wretched mistress, called La Piot* (the little me) last week, will net take place until next month. That of the parricide Josephine Bouvier, at Bourg (par contunsace) you have no doubt extracted from the Journals. The most extraordinary feature in it was, the almost miraculous preservation of the body of her victim, which at the end of 7 years, was found so perfect as to enable the surgeons. without trouble, to detect the presence of arsenic in the stomach. —A man of large fortune is in custody here, as you already know, accused of the murder of his first wife, and an attempt to assassi nate his second ; but the latter baying retracted her depositions, and no new evidence having been obtained, be will escape, although not immediately ; for writs of habeas corpus being unknown to the French Constitution, the Crown has a discretionary power to con fine parties charged with offences until every exertion to prove his guilt or innocence shall bate been made. Another man stands charged with similar crimes, by means almost incredible—namely, the murder of his first wife, by convulsions excited by tickling the soles of bee feet, having previously secured her by swathing her body in the manner of a mummy! No marks of violence being observable, the poor woman was deemed to have died a natural death. The attempt on the second wife failed in its murderous in tention, but she is insane. The Coon of Cessation having on Thursday last rejected the appeal of Daumus Lupin, convicted of the murders of the Au bergiste and his wife, in the valley of Montmorency. last January, the sentence ought, according to the spirit of the law, to have been 'executed yesterday (within 24 hours of the rejection of the appeal,) but it is postponed to Wednesday nest, to give time for some fur ther inquiries. No moral doubt can, however. be entertained of the prisoner's guilt; his esecution will accordingly take place. Two ludicrous circumstances show the general prevalence of the idea, that a change of men would bring with it a clump of mea sures. The late Minister of Police forbade the appearance of " les Mks publiques," in the Paiais Royal, on the Boulevards ; and, in short, their obtru4on upon the public eye. He, with the same re gard to decency, banished from the market of St. Germain., to the horse-market. the dog-dealers ' who held their sales there on Sun day mornings. The moment Prince Pulignac assumed the reins of Government, and that the Minister of Police was changed, the cyprians and the dog-stealers returned to their haunts and their traffic; but they were mistaken in their belief that the good old times had returned, and were compelled once more to seek the shade. Having incidentally referred to the practice of duelling, so fre queut in France, it may not be amiss to state the origin of the late affair between MIL de Montmorency and Lstare, -without, however, any intention to connect their names with the system against which I have inveighed. M. Lafam, nephew and heir to the Peerage of the Cardinal of that name, married the sister of his brother °Meet Montmorency (Prince de Robeque) and made (as is reported) but an indifferent husband. • Montmorency interfered, sot during the life of his sir ter, bat immediately upon her decease, which lately took place ; be challenged Ware" a l'outranee " wbh accepting the caul, they and (as you already how) Ltd five shot• nook with Out effect. The sixth from Lafare wounded Montmorency severely in the breast, sod thus ended the affair for the present.—Jdoritirsi HOWL INDIAN TRADE. In accounts mentioning the quentities of British miitiuficture.i exported to our Indian possessions in ten years, these are Mi serable some curious fluctuations. Thus in 1819 there were es ported 14,000 pieces of woollen goods, value ,€200,000; while it, 1828 there ware exported 8,5.30 pieces, the velar being E. 65,918, or little more than a quarter of the amount for two•tbirds as many articles. Of Long Ells, there were in 1819 exported 2S 897 piece•, value £11,578 ; in 1827 the number was 373, value £654 ; and in 1828 794 pieces, value £1,3'2, showing an extraordinary diminution, I'm number in particular. Of Camlets, Stuff., dtc. 1,593 pieces were exported in 1819, value £5,866 ; in 1827 131 pieces, value £313 ; in 1828 IGO pleret, value £2,037. Of Cottons, in 1825, there were exported 21,587 pieces, ♦ile. £12,751 ; in 1827 there were 300 pieces, •alue £260 ; and in 1828 14 packages, rapt; £506 ; showing that such articles of trade Braaiert, !missionary, dm in 1819 amount £12,535 ; in 1827, amount 37,684;' and in 1828, amount £22,338, showing considera ble increase. Carts. Barrows, Ploughs, Ste. were exported in 1819 to the value of £3,725; in 1827 to the amount of £39,441 ; and in 1828 to the value of £22,627 ; also displaying considerable increase. and in articles materiaUy affecting the advancement of society and the improvement of the country. Of Saddlery and Harness 88 cases, value £2,757 were sent in 1619; and 402 cues in 1827, valve £12,544 ; and 144 cases, value £3,877, In 1828. Of Steam &glues and Machinety 49 packages, value £4,717, were ezported in 1819; for 1891 the number was 634, value £30.403; also showing an immense advance in articles cakulated to improve society and the country. fn 1819 there were no packages of " Types and Printing Presses ;" in 1827 the number were eighty-four, value £1,400 ; and in 1828 eighteen, value £338. And in articles not very requisite to the comforts and improv ment of society remarkable diminution appears—Thus, 5,480 pairs of pistols were exported in 1819 ; but in 1828 only 8,580 pairs -30,000 muskets in 1819 ; but in 1828 only 18,000. In 1819 there were 1,596 barrels of gunpowder; in 1828 only 200 barrels. And though 6,540 swords and pikes were wanted for the demand of 1819, not more than 3,104 were required in 1828. HAMBURGH. The Government of the Hanseatic Towns is not, I sus pect, much understood in England. It is generally that of a self elected Aristocracy, but, In small places, every member of it is im mediately connected with, and so Immediately dependent on, the good opinion of his neighbours, that the power of despotism whit he possesses is scarcely ever exercised to the known detriment those about him. The Senate is the primary ruling power in Hamburgb. It con sists of four Burgomasters. four Syndics. four-ant twenty Senators, a prothonotary, archivist, and two secretaries. Three r (who act as Judges both in civil and criminal mat Sir nators,and the Syndics, prothonotary, archivist, c arleb, must necessarily be lawyers; the ocher merchants, eeping re tail shops, nor connected In the second degree o f blood with any other Senator. The pay of a Senator is 4,000 marks per annum. The oldest Burgomaster is the President of the Senate. Wealth, for the most part, is the great object looked to in the quality of a Se nator. There is scarcely an example of a bankruptcy on the part of a Senator, and when any derangement of accounts bat occurred, the Senate has helped the lame member over the stile. The Senate fills up his own vacancies as they occur. The introductory ceremonies by which a Senator is introduced are very curious. He is led by his nearest relation to the Senate Howe, where is accompanied to a chamber, and every thing of metal about him is removed. He is next conducted to the Session by the youngest Senator, and takes the oaths of office kneeling. He is then accompanied to church, and afterwards to the Senate House, and, clad in an ancient robe of black, ornamented with fringe, and wearing an antique ruff, he is admitted to the Senate soon after its sittings commence, and la allowed, from that time forb. to wear the ordinary garb of a Senator. A man cannot refuse the honour of Senatot ship. The title of a Burgomaster is " Your Magnifi cence ;" that of a Senator " High and well-learned Lord." The Senate nominates and receives all Foreign Ministers or Consuls, and exercises, in fact, the sovereign authority. Their sway is, on the whole, mild and benevolent. and seldom gives occasion to com plaints ; yet there is little or no protection against their decrees, and all their discussions and proceedings are secret. The younger Senators keep the gates of the city. Their laws and judicial proceedings require immense improvements. The simplest, safest, and most satisfactory would be a code. and publicity in its administration. The" Lex non scripts" is the law of the State...-susceptible, of tonne, of all the 'modifications which ig norance, caprice, or interest, may venture upon. These do not often, perhaps, interfere—thanks to a better protection than any the laws have provided ; that protection being the terrors of pub lic opinion, which is in aU Western Germany pretty enlightened. In Hamburgh—as in many of the German States—no child is con firmed until reading and writing have been learnt; and, u confir mation is deemed a ceremony of the highest urgency, the veto upon ignorance is the greatest encouragement to instruction. public morals are, on the whole, purer than in England. An exe cution inHamburgh is scarcely ever known—beheading is the mode of death when it is inflicted. The Piators of the Senate are the ordinary administrators of justice. There 11 a species of Common alty (or Burgbership) exercised by all the citizens who have hums of the value of 4,000 rim dollars. They arrange moth of the ec clesia.tical and parish business. A corps of rribunes, consisting of IS members, also exists. whose duty it is to watch over the rights and eludes of the citizens ; but they a e self-elected, and stand. as it were, between the plebians and the patricians. About this thtie twelvemonth a three-hundred-years' jubilee was given to the Tribunes. and, from the great excitement of popular feeling which the anniversary elicited, it would appear as lithe Hamhurgh ers were greatly attached to their institutions, whatever may be their seeming defects. The Burghers are called together whenever the Senators and Tribunes agree that such an assemblage is de sirable. Of the institutions of Hansburgh, that which most excited my attention is a small Society, chosen from the lower orders, with the honourable title of " hienschen-retter," or s' Men-savers." To be elected to this office is, among the people, deemed a high ho nour. Their duty is solely to save the lives of their fellow.men in cases of lire or other alarming perils. The fire regulations are fur the mod part admirable, but the " Mensehen-retter" are bound not to have their attention directed to any oSjeet but the preserva tion of human life. Many remarkable instances are recorded of their heroism and devotion. Two of these lien, clad in black and white dresses, attend every watch-house in the evening, and until day-break, to be ready for the honourable service in which they are engaged. These watch-houses are, I believe, live. The " blenschen-retter" fill up the vacancies In their own body, and, in case of the removal or death of any one of them, the question as to the candidate most deserving this popular honour Is a topic of universal discussion and universal interest among the " plebs." The spirit of universal suffrage is said to operate virtually upon the minds of the real electors; and the body of Men-savers have pre served an undiminished interest in the minds of the people. There is a law that, in case. of fire at night, when the neighbourhood is instantly alarmed by the rattles of the watchmen, and the cry of Feuer, Feuer !" Is beard, every inhabitant shall put a lighted candle out of his lower windows, to assist the operations of the firemen. Fires are very common, but rarely do they spread far. Ilamburgh is bound, lite all the States of the German Confedera tion, to furnish its contingent of troops. They are about 1,500 strong. independently of eight compaoiss of Burgher siers, to which every Burgher and Burghers see is required to Wong be tween the age of IS and 25 years. The Necessity for this appears nut very urgent. Hansbergh, it lam bees seen again and again, can' make no effectual resistance against imam. How should she— even though all her Harshess and lbargbeears were Spartans and Amazons ? Her interests are ail is the gets of poem .and neac.in the arts of war. What nation.—what Suite will be the srst to Ly down the weapons of offence, is I eastoerlagairrfoe astidpation. The (fakers are the strongest body we know of, relatively to their number*. Have they not fated est that arms are not the real omnipotence in the long num? ~i
