We do not fear to say, that never a parallel proposition was presented to a national chamber. The divorce demanded in 1789, that of which the Duke of Or leans was the bearer, was decreed in 1792, towards the dismal days of the 2d and 3d of September, Marriage is a contract between three persons, two present, one (the child) a b sen t, b u t re p resente d by the public power, guarantee of the engagements of the spouse, for public authority always represents in the family the person absent, the child before its birth, the father after his death. The contract formed by or between three persons cannot be broken by two to the prejudice of the third, the most feeble of the society ; and this tbird person can never consent to a rut lure wholly to his pre judice, because that he is always minor in the family. Marriage is a natural, not a commercial association. The joint capital is nut equal, since the man brings the protection of strength, the wo man the wants of feebleness. The results in case of separation are not equal, since the man separates ' possessed of all his authority, and of all that which the woman brought pureless—youth, beauty, fruit-1 fulness, fortune, she can, in case of dissolution, take back only her money. Marriage is then na turally indissoluble. To establish divorce, is the will to corrupt morals by the laws. Not only will it corrupt thus the family by the license permitted to the desires of man, but it will banish happiness and peace by the hatred which divorce will not fail to kindle amongst families. In fact, what resent tnents will it not excite among sensible people, just appreciators of the benefit and the offence ? What tears, n hat blood will not flow, from the affront of , a girl of innocence, sent back without honour and without name, into the bosom of those parents which she had formerly quitted, happy and proud of the beauty of a virgin, and the dignity of a bride ? And if the French degenerate to the point of being insensible, they will, without doubt, soon arrive at that excess of abasement on which a neighbouring people has fallen, to value by pounds, shillings, awl pence, the weakness of woman, the I crime of a seducer, the shame of a husband, and to adjudge the injury received by the amount of da lunges —Gazette de France. Pat Esys AND RELic; too Whenever a great calamity conies to afflict a nation, when a storm carries an ay um harvest, or drouth withers it in the bud, when a murderous epidemical disease spreads a funeral veil over a dismayed population, the priests do not fail to thunder, fro m th e h e i g ht of their holy tribune, against the incredulity of man, and ascribe to the impiety of the age, the plagues which weigh upon us. At their voice we feel sor rowful and humiliated, we strike our breasts, and cry fur mercy, because we have faith, and in our grief we do not examine whether GOD presides at a punishment which falls indiscriminately upou in nocence and guilt. A great revolution has changed the face of the kingdom ; an irritated peop:e took up arms against its oppressor; a throne has fallen, Intl blood has flowed. Immediately they exclaim, De.iolation of desolation !" But for this time their voice only struck the vaults of the•temple. To their ions lamentations they were answered with songs of triumph.

The people only ceased to love you, the moment when you bartered against the goods of the earth, these of Heaven which you had promised to virtue.

In destroying the episcopal palate, the people evi dently wanted to take vengeance on the intolerable pride of the bishops. No, whatever you may say, it was not against religion that we raised our bar ricades. Liberty is not atheism. Liberty, reli gion, equally contribute to the happiness of man : they are the eternal and only basis of the social edifice. It was against superstition, against poli tical and sacerdotal fanaticism, that we armed our selves. Religion we shall have, but Religion in its sublime nakedness, disincumbered of the laws and ridiculous practices, which is your work, and which degrades it. We want it pure, simple, ce lestial, such as it was stamped upon the heart of man by the hand of the Creator—such as the divine authority of the Gospel explains it to us. The reign of prejudice is passed. Time has blown upon the illusion which surrounded your myste rious authority, and reform is henceforth a want : It will be the fruit of your intolerance. It will be attained without farther convulsion. It is for liberty that this new miracle is reserved.—L'Avise de Toulon. EXPEDIENCY OF PERMITTING FOREIGN SUGAR TO BB REFINED IN THIS COUNTRY FOR EXPORTATION. The Vice-President of the Board of Trade has recently given notice in Parliament of the intention of government to renew " the Act 10 Geo. IV. c. 49, for allowing sugar to be taken out of warehouse to be refined." The object is to permit the sugar of Cuba and Brasil to be used by the re. finers in this country at the same duty as that paid en Bri tish plantation sugar, provided the price paid for such fo reign sugar does not exceed the Gazette average price of plantation sugar ; trid upon the stipulation that there shall be exported, receiving the same drawbacks, quantities of re fined and bastard sugar, and treacle, equal to what is esti mated to be produced in the refinery of plantation sugar of the medium quality of the whole importation from the West India Colonies. It is notorious, that at the present moment the slave trade to Cubs and Brazil is carried on to an unexampled extent, unchecked by any sense of moral obligation, and in defiance of the most solemn treaties. As a great principle, there. fore, it is respectfully submitted to Parliament and the Bri tish nation, that if they have regard for consistency, justice, 1 or humanity, they will not sanction any measure which must encourage the slave trade, increase the growth of foreign sugar, and thereby injure the British Coloni e s. ft is Well known that the foreign cultivators complain of , their want of capital to ptosecute their business to the extent *high they desire. Hence their anxiety to open extensive connexions with England, and to ship their produce to the British market. The conveniences of ready sale, the facill. ' ties of credit, the many accommodations which ate given by our merchants, are eagerly coveted by the foreign planters, and it is openly avowed that money weuld be lent to them, and sunk in their plantations and slaves, for the express purpzse of causing their sugar to be con. signed to England. Besides the increase of slaves which this supply of capital would give, there is no doubt thit were a permanent connexion established with England. other causes would operate to increase the gtow.h of foreign sit gar : a better mode of management would by introduced, especially in Brazil; new machinery would be erected more extensive works established ; and, in all probability, many thousand negroes now employed in raising cotton, would be placed on sugar plantations. It is thus clear to demonstra tion that, under such circumstances, the increase in the growth of foreign sugar must proceed with accelerated ra pidity : and can' any thing else than ruin be the final lot of the British Colonies? In the IVest India papers, printed by order of the House of Commons, last session of parliament, it appears that the cost f r raising sugar for con. gingen( expenditure alone in the British Colonies, is per cwt. 181.

According to all reeelved•ptiaciples relative to the cost of production, prices in England should conform to the state of our own colonies. If a deitient aop.occur, would any person deny that prices in Ragland should advance, to in. demnify, in some dem; astr planters; but such advance never can take place,: if we permit foreige sugar to be re fined. We are theft brought into constant collision with the Continent; and, be the emp ever so deficient, the sugar of Jamaica must sell at-the same price as the sugar of Brasil. In the great debate which took place some yaws back, on the angst question, it wail acknowledged by Mr. Ricardo and. Mr. klusklasses, that the surplus was an evil, and that unfestunste that the British planters were collision with the 'lave traders. What denounce an evil, but that it ought sever it is practicable. But no, ex ert have a surplus,—keep up a con_ shave ttoder,—never let the British prosperity—if a deficient crop take •hair misfortune, by throwing in in. and Brazil sugar. what point of view we examine the the rime conclusion,--the British • " -.0.1111 Cabe sod Brazil,—and whoa io coutast, the former meet taken in conjunction with the other points detailed, must, it is conceived, induce pulls mint not to renew the bill for refusing Foreign sugar. The Let Indians are aggvieved as well as the West Ind:ans. By the late Act, the sugar of Cuba and Brazil was placed en a more favourable tooting than East India sugar. The fanner, when sold at prices not exceeding the Gazette aver age price of plantation sugar, was admitted at Plantation duty; end the only disadvantage to which it we subject was, the obligation to capon the estimated product in the refinery of bastard sugar and treacle, which might occasion a lots of Is 6d to 2s per cwt. on the treacle. When the.late bill was origitbdly proposed, it was ex pressly owed that it was introduced Si an experiment. It is surely proper to enquire if that experiment has been sa tisfactory in Ice results, end all members of the House of Commons are entreated, it they entertain doubts on the sub jtct, to give the benefit of that doubt to those 'soliciting examination, and to vote for a committee of enquiry, as the safest, fairest, and most satisfactory mode of arrangement to all parties. it Om pecTderiririseriotten — . your weetnessee ; it wee to seek to .into - t coltish rourselvekwith her.

TIMES.—The papers have already alluded to a confede racy said to be formed among the Irish members in the House of Commons, for the purpose of compelling minis. ten to accomplish certain measures, legislative and executive, with a view to more speedy improvements in the state of Ire land. If this be the fact, it would appear from yesterday's proceedings, elsewhere described, that some importance is attached to the opinions of the confederates on the part of hie Majesty's Government. bit. Stanley is said to have invited the representatives for Ireland to a conference at Lord Althorp's, in Howning.street; where, accordingly, a numerous meeting took place. At this meeting it was announced by Mr. Stanley, that a bill for " the regulation" of the Yeomanry corps throughout Ireland bad been pre pared by His Majesty's Ministers, and the Right Hon. Gentleman explained its provisions to the audience, via. that the individual yeomen were to be disarmed, and their arms deposited in district depots; that the corps, now sepa rate, were to be formed into battalions, and to be under the immediate command of the Lord Lieutenant of the county ; but that, except on sudden and exuaordinary mergers. cies, even the Lord Lieutenant of the county should not have power to embody and call out the Yeomanry v ithout the sanction of the Lord Lieutenant ;of the kingdom. Such being the main provisions of the bill, several Irish members are said to have declared at once their strongest disapproba- tion of the whole project, as tending to fortify and perpe tuate the yeomanry system, instead of conducing to its gradual overthrow and suppression. Unquestionably, if each a thing as a yeoman force be suffered to exist at all in Ireland. it cannot exist without "regulations' very different from those by which it has hitherto been directed. So far as they go, the new arrangements proposed by Mr. Stanley are good. The arms will be taken from those who have never employed them but under excitements which fostered the most dreadful re-isction in the mind of three-fourths of their countrymen, and the factious and petty squires, who have heretofore prompted the vindictive spirit of the yeo manry, will, in spite of their office of local magistrates, be altogether excluded from the sanguinary privilege of calling out their corps of yeomen, to butcher the people as they list. So far. we repeat, is good. But on what principle is it, we should like to know, that one elan, or, what is worse, one sect of the King's subjects, are to be embodied, armed, and thereby stimulated, for the purpose of keeping down another ? Can • peace, in the spirit of peace,' be maintained while one sect is placed at the mercy of another? While the Protestant (for we have heard that the yeomen arc nearly all Protestants)--wbik the Protestant only ie confided in by the state, can the Catholic ever become worthy of political confi. dcnce ? We are aware that times may be critical—we cannot disguise from ourselves the fact, that circumstances miyht occur in Ireland which would render it a valuable object to have every natural filen(' of the throne, of law, and property, and religion, in readiness to buckle on his annout, and to repel and assist in crushing the designs of traitors or incendiaries. But we will not anticipate so monstrous a re volution in the posture of our domestic affairs. In the mesa dine, let justice be done : let that equal respect for all classes of our fellow-subjects, which inspired the framers of the Ca ihulic Bill, be manifested in the policy of their successors to wards the bulk of the phople of Ireland. If wrong be de signed by any, let it not be provoked by the King's Govern ment. So shall England have the suffinAes of mankind, and conscious rectitude. to suppo r t h er .

If the Bishop In London could prevent them from sailing in a eteam-boat, or from walking In a green field, or trom all relasmion (which he would if be c&ld), the improvement would be such as he himself might be the first to lament HERALD.—It is said, and we believe nee altogether without authority, that a party, or rather tidiest, has been formed, consisting of pretended reformers, and what are called moderate Tories, for the pu.p 'PO of defeating the re form bill. The plan of this ferion se :ire informed, is something like the following :_The bill is to he allowed to go into Committee in the Lords, without a division Sche. dules A and It are then to be passed, with a view of natio fyihg the people as to the peers being favonrable to a rub. sandal reform ; and theta the details are to he ridiculed and exposed in debate, af,er the manner of the House ot Com mons, far the purpose of increasing the reaction which the faction imagines has taken place with regard to the measure. After this object has been accomplished, at is thought that the HI may be safely kicked out, with an understanding that a new reform scheme shall be introduced in the neat session of Pa:Bement. Of course we do not pledge our. selves as to the truth of this statement ; but obis we will say, that the opinion is becoming eery prevalent that an unprincipled coalition has been formed amongst certain anti and mock reformers, and we repeat that we do nut think that this opinion is altogether unfounded. The outcry that has been suddenly raised aphid the diva. sion of counties has a very suspicious look. We were amongst the first to disapprove of this nosesure, tut our objections were r.ot factious, and, alley k had passed the House of Commons, we never dream: of push. ing our opposition to such l engt h s as to endanger the success of the hill by excising a re•aetita en the public mind. For our part we have no feats on the subject; we have no apprelieesiou that the bill a-I ba lost is conse quence of a re-action, Or even u. the anathy of the pm ple. As we observed yr.:enter s 1.1 t rew who slink other. wise " try it oa," and tiny will seen ot-eover their mistake. Indeed, it would seem, from the altered tune of err -an jour. natio', that they have already discovered tlitir a k a te. No; if the bill be rejected by the House at Lords, it wid be in spite of the people, not with their accerelance; and we are quite @enticd that, in such case, dig rt be paid. It appears pretty clear that the altu-nßabsers wally believe that there is now little o 7 no excitemette in the coon. try in favour of the bill; but we casi assure hens that they are labouring under a delusion which, for their otrautakee, as well as fur the sake of the tromptitli'y of the nation, we would advise them to get rid art as speedily am pos sible. As to the division of the COllllllOl, we onset say, that our objections to it, hi well as to he et ring of fern leaseholders, ite in some degree. reiniiv.il by the 4.lltra LIDS of the Bill with regard to the town trteliold.r. isetug al lowed or vote tot drum y Members. This change is, is oar opinion, a very popol.ir and a very admirable u.o. ' will go a great way in detesting the aristocta is itsflaeoce, which, under the provisions alluded to, would most as. suredly have been exercised with a tr..ry pernicious. effect. For our pan, we see no reason to suspect the a obesity of Ministers, and, therefore, we say to the mo c k ' e• Du too play into the h an d s o f the cot:omit ono, by liste•iog to factious objections to the details of the Da, which we me ready to allow are in many respects objectionable." After all, however, the great tel of the einccrity ot O. veninient consists in whether they are prepared to at at.• a sufbeiten number of Peers to carry the guts:ion in the House of Lords. If they do not, they will • low, and juraly lose, the confidence of the country, and prove ItlCSUbtllfes traitors, rather than friends, to the cause of reform. POST.—Coefurinahly to convention, the brave Deitch army, of er hating vanquished and dispersed its rebel Bel gian opponents hi all directions, commenced its retrograde movements on Sunday last. It retires front the scenes of its victories covered with glory immortal. Fighting in a just cause, and animated with a due spirit of 10,34 % success in ever) instance crowned its gallant elfurts ; and it retires with the applauding voice of all good subjects, of whatever state, who must feel rejoiced ite the splendid example it affords of the invincibility of geeuke patri tis ti opposed to the utmost efforts of diaaffection and rebellion. Our private accounts inform us, that the conduct of Leo. pold, in having invited a French force to enter Belgium is generally condemned ; and as there is no raised hope of saving that country from becoming a province of France, the idea of his speedy expulsion is already broached, with a view of propitiating Fiance by die choice of the Duke of Nemoun in his stead. The outcry is Brussels is universal ; that once prosperous city being by the late revolutionary events, reduced to the most pitiable state of diatreve in all departments of trade and commerce. From the Paris pa. pen we have extracted a Report of the prosedings of the Chamber of Derutits, which furnishes so admhable picture of revolutionary . legislation. The outrageous spirit of the worst stage of the first sanguinary Revulution, when Jecobitiesni bore sovereign sway in the Banana Conventie promises to be revived in the uncomrollable licentious spirit which now so obviously prevails in France. In a dispute respecting the right of precedency of speaking horn the Tri. bunt., the contest progressively arose to manual effort, in the violence of which even the Prime Minister was immateney in danger of personal violence; and all the endeavour* of the President, aided by the utmost sounding of his bell, tailed of restoring the slightest degree of order. This is a direct manifestation of return to the brutal violence which characterized tke conduct of the most outrageous periods et • the Reign of Terror, and may not unressomibly be considered as a specimen of what may be expected in England, should at be out lot to be subjected to the proposed Revolutionary Parliameot, IM.IIORALITY OF THE "LOWER OHDERS There never was a baser imputation, in point of untruth. then that of attributing the crimes and ellateesees of the " lower orders" to the influence of the new Beetsbouses ; 'O4 the Magistrates and Clergy must know It, too, lince tluti cannot be ignorant. east at the hours when persons are loos! apt to indulge in excess of drinking, the Beer-retnilers ' are Jurbiuden by law le Nil, which is not .the case with licessed publican, and victualler.
