PICTURE OP nix EX'S OP DARNMa PARIS. ?Apt+, se ►T. Q. 1806. It appears eitraorlinary, that no - either in .. one, . France or in any other country, has undertaken to exhibit, in a complete picture, the result 31 the French litevoliuioa. That part of the piCture, fur which it will be necessary to wait forty or fi!!) , years, will not prevent the execution of the other. which may, without danger, afford our conterrpo. varies .vholesome instruatc,n and amusement. • Our beloved Paris has recently improved, in an extrawdinary degree. in twin:it morality, without, however, losing the smallest portion of its intcrnal 1101 depravity. With testae& to elma marriages, the lawyers and ' .. - • divorce-mongers find scarcely any employment; for ~ . . the jostices of the peace treat a husband or a wife. . •::en they first bring their complaints before them, too much in the style of moral censors; and besides this, they d'ter the parties, by drawing a terrible pidure of the eXpence., chicane, and lung delay, of law proceedings. Ihe complainants take the mat. ter once more jam consideration; and, rather than make the scandal still more public, agree to an apparent reconciliation, that they may condud themselves the more shamelessly in private. A sim ple wife, who is informed by same malicious gossip of the dancing hall where her husband spends the Sunday evening with an acquaintance, as it is termed, and, in the first imFulse of her passion, Marries to the spot, and overwhelms the loving . pair with her scolding and complaints—such a wo man is greatly to blame : out of resped to public decency, she should have kept the matter private ; she should have reeolieded, that her Lind lord and master takes only one &Imlay M the whole month for himself, and that he passes the three others in her company ; at any rate. she should not have IT made any n We about seat a tr:fie. When the wo men gots to the Magistrate, he does not tzll her that she is wrong with regard to the principal point, but he finds fault with t!:e form ; he siys, that in .'. such cases, people ought not to cut off their nose to be revenged of their face; that is, confirm their shame by witnesses. The confessor will exhort her to reconciliation, at least for.ihe sale of her children, that they may not be made acquainted with their father's faults. Hence it is extremely easy to con ceive, why a jealous husband, at Paris, has almost every body against hits ; and why, out of resped to good murals, he ought to give himself very little concern about those of his wife. The most import ant defy is not to refrein front sin, but to conceal it. • In the relations between parents and children, a sim•lar system prevails. The law renders it ex tremely difficult. and almost impossible, to marry contest,- to the will of petters. The law, however, has not prohibited the procreation of children ; and it is quite sufficient, if it be not obvious to the public eye, whether the young progeny are legitimate or illegitimate, and if they do not come into the world ►efore the face of their parents. There is no viola tion of morals, as long as the children have not polluted the patismal habitation. Thus, in spite of the difficulty of marrying without the coo seat of parents, it is the more easy to form an illegitimate canneftion ; and a regular house. keeping betweea persons, the eldest of whom is frequently not eighteen, is the more corn row These connedions deprive the parents of not the smallest portion of their former resped ; the children are not aging against their consent, as long as that consent has neither been deminded nor re - With • such establitlir fused. _ many parents, , an ment is a dsis:rable objet ; it relieves them from the bur den of a dowry ; the two young people maintain themselves ; say. they have perhaps been sent away at the of 13 or 14, from their fathers' hous:s. in order to procure their own subsicence. The grand nr4her then speaks publicly, and withont rescrve, not indeed of her grand-children, bot she calls them children of her sor, who is nit married : the la•Ser. whose daughter lives in th:s Lind of illegal union, calls her companion, not her hlshand, but :ter man. Sila a .'.male obtains abess:ction without any diA salty, and she 111- nnthir:; to reproach heisell with an account of the children ; priest; bark - zed all die off'pritig of Christians; it is :sot every body that can pay the marriage -fees, but few are to poor ascot to be able to scrape together those of a christening. The magnitude of the city, the multitudes in every quarter, and even in every house, prevent what would, strictly speaking, constitute the immoral side of the bus i ness in Mai: that is, nobody takes any notice et the affair ; and, when a child comas jaw the world, every one supposes that it has a father, and he who fetched Ole midwife p isses among the neighbours not only for the person who ailually begot the child, but likewise for as good a husband as the best of them. In, the more licentious pleasures, of every descrip tion, there is no occasion to pay attention to any thing but to keep up appearances. A handsome woman, who dresses better than her circumstances would admit, and on that account justly incurs sus picion, is not an object of censure, as Ion: as she manages her matters with decorum. Nay, what is still more remarkable, a pretty woman, of the middling class, who is neither rich nor advan tageously married, has not even the right to condo& herself virtuously. If she complain of the hard ness of the times, she is called a simpleton, nr a stupid creature. who does not know how to observe exterior de;orum ; she is repr-gclleJ with the mean ness of her dress, and i; told to her (ace, that in an age in which men kn sur how to do i.aszice to tl.e sex, a woman must he a doss: right toot, or a haughty prude, not to prnfit by ciumrrstancez. T' us, a lady who has a natural propens;ty to ;I..sip-emit, may gratify it with the utmo;t decency ; she is the more amiable, the more she possesses the talent of passing certain limits with case ; she has sl much the more understanding and wit, the more delicate are the traces in which her deriatiins are discovered ; th;t is, the more capable she is of living in a hijs style, and in that portion of the higher class c.f s•- citty, which values itself not on purity, but on r e_ finetnaent of manners. With respeet to a husband he is oat considered a lewd man, unless he ahso !lately neglect his wife. On the sontrary, if he un- derstand the secret of preserving his domestic bonear, at the same time that he is wallowing in every species of debaucher!, his repti:Atian does not suffer. The language of morally like wise comes to his assistance, and he is m Ist repeft fully entitled a man of the world. If a rude woggle should indulge in any animadvers:ons upon him, it is silenced with this answer: '' Arid what ti-n, it the man has many cot:mations e" any one has a propensity to gluttony, he soh:n.6l; t o th e j 0u ., 24 1 At Gamow& ; he lays the last number of t: cn t.is wviting table, and, ia this manner, passes for aman of genius. with al! the Seas: eprati Lf whom he is vi.ited ; though, in feet, he is gathingt,more than a ;el 'Sprit rtirgiwri. or, in ether words, one of the •e debauchers who make their belly tneW god. The topers have likewise joined the new corps of rver. naolf. The word gewinandsie is a kind of hon 'm anic standard to which people swear alirgience, in order to erjoy the prr.teaion of a resp.!fed corps, and to be enabled to cheat, in a fashionable manner, that antiquated virtue--Temparam:e. In the toilette it is still less dirlcult to n 2.4.: ex ternal appearance pats for the demonstration of in ternal truih. When A lad) goes abroad, she is care fully muffled tip to the very chin; as she passes through the whole street of her quarter, she will mike no al•eration in her dress; nay, even at the Theatre, where she meets her usual acquaintances, she will, at most, reran% e the pin which fastened her shawl close round her neck, a hand's breadth le.wer. Rut, in the hall of the ANlLfis CosOrpr, where she is less observed, or in a pleasure-garden, where she ventures to dine with a friend; or in the garden of Frescati, the light muslin is soon execrated as an in. tolerable burden, and that beauty, which, in r.sodern times, has won the prize from a regular face, is submitted to the judgment of connoisseurs v:ho no longer estimate a wriman by her celestial features, but by her charming terrestrial subtance. In general, the fitness of a dress is judged not from its decency, but from the finenee; of the staff; and, of two fe males, ooe of whom ettfers her clothes to bang na turally, while the other draws ber woven w:vi, as ale of the Anzients terms it, quite tight behind her, with her hand, and appears, at a distance, like a soul desirous of escaping from its earthly tabernacle, the first is considered as aleorr.:nably sluttish and C Aft , less.
