CHAMBER OP DEPUTIES, nrc.-1-6;;

Several propositions were made by different
Members, but of such a nature that the Chamber,
voted the order of the day upon them.
M Damentel tie Claiss,' a Counsellor of the
Royal Court of Besancon, solicited, in the way of
petition, the suppression of divorces, as subver.
sive of public-inorak, and even of stability of
a legitimate Government. These, and several
other ,petitions touched upon by the :Reporter,

Some clehlte on the subject took place, which

Last night, Paris Papers of the 17th reached
us. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the preeed.
ing day, a petition was presented, the reception
of which spews how general the desire is to be
extricated " front, the false morals, as well As
false politics of the Revolution--a petition for,
preventing that shameful facility of divorce,
Which is permitted by the new French l• •-S s
aa .
'eral other persons had for their object the applif
cation of the ,fortunes of those, who promoted the
return of BUONAPARTE, to the relief of the State,
distressed' by thc.effects of his second usurpation.
,This relief has hitherto been considered by the
French Government, as tov slight to be worth a-
; hut. we hope they will be•obliged to adopt
the better policy of these honest petitioners, and
to seize the hoards of political felons, not only as
matter of relief to the State, but as consolation
to one part of the community, and of example.to
the other.

We have received Canada and United Stites
Papers. The latter are not of a date so recent as
those previmudy in our possession. The Ameri-
cans arc tunnitniful neither of •Commeteial. nor
Political Advantages. The project for a canal
from Albany to Lake Erie is revived ; •this, when
the war duties are taken, off, would make New
York the centre of nearly the whole trade of
Upper Canada. -They are going to build on
the lines a 'fort to command the navigation
of Lake Champlain, and which will form adepot
for the future invasion of Lower Canada, in the
event of a new war. Another between St. Regis
and Ogclensbnrg, will probably soon follow,. to
command the navigation of St. Lawrence ; so
that between forts and canals, and the inflaencc
which they may be able to acquire in the Canadas,
they will think themselves pretty sure of success
the next trial. The balance of linfinence arising

from extensive communication is entirely o❑ the
side of tLe United States. It is very cash to

Great improvements are in contemplation i n
,LOW dl' Canada, with a view to the facility of
trade with their American neighbours. The open-
ing of new roads to the American lines, is 'among
the most important of the plans lip agitation.—
Some of the opposers of this plan contend, that
ily,6 proposed improvements will have the effect
of diminishing the -prices of agricultural produce
in the Canadas. The advocaLos of the scheme,
on the other band, maintain, that upon an ave-
rage the prices would rather be augmerted, upon
-the principle, that in ordinary times, the price of
such produce is higher in the sea-ports of the
New England States than at Quebec. The con-
sequence of god roads extending to the lines,
Would he to bring the prices nearly to a leiel,
the distance being nearly equal. The prices at
Boston, for instance, would be ,diminished, and
those at Quebec raised. it is only in extraorli-

nary times, such as during embargo and.tvar, that
the Quebec market would be the gainer ; and it
is nut likely that these times will speedily return.

Private Letters of the 18th ult., from New York
confirm the reports front France, of. great emigrd-
tion from thence to America., Upwards of 100
French Officers had al rived different parts of
the United States. Mr. MADISON, they say, does

riot view the fugitives wizh ;oil eye of so much
complacency as he would have done about three

years ago.

The proposal for a new arrangement of 'the-

.eut author of the Tableau de lit Litterature
Franeaise gives of Ins own country, just previously
to the Revolution : " Confused notions of govern-
ment, of legislation, and of, public economy,
caused a fermentation in all minds. There was in
' the nation a vague desire of perfectibility, an in-
toxication •of supposed new light, a lofty disdain
of past tunes; in short, an effervesceuce daily and
hourly increasing. "All classes, all conditions pro-
duced authors and philosophers ; but in default of
thoughts and sentiments, most of them were
merely excited by words ill explaind, and worse

She first became the prey of the bad men who

who led her on from crime to crime by the most
specious professions, -and the most artful delu-.

dent. They do not trust men on the credit of a few
high sounding phrases. Tftey look to the evidence

The.discontented Party in England have a curi-
oils game in hand to phty at this moment : they
have to retain in vie iv their old object of sustaining
France against their native Country, but they,
have also to disparage the Government of France.
This di-fliculty therefore is to keep the Government
separate, and as it were distinct from the natiOn ;
never to identify them ; and always to take care
in abetting our enemies, the Jacobin and &lona-
partist part of the population, ngt to promote the
cause of the Royalists who may be considered as
more friendly to us. Thus the KING ; the DTike
of ANGOULEME ; the DuChess, neither whose sex,
nor misfortunes nor heroism during the late Re-
volution procure for her one atom of respect from
these generous antagonists ;
trvloNstana ; and the
Duke of BEnar come in by turns for their share
of the falsehood and malignancy belonging to the
Faction. We have in former publications ani-
madverted on the onsustaitied aspersions cast on
the three first mentioned of these personages as
bloody and gratuitously wicked persecutors. To-
day, we shall limit our observations ,to the equally
unsupported charges against the last fur ingrati-
tude towards the English. The BounuoN Primes
are nothing tons, and our rental ks upon their con-
duct are too free to be acceptable in Paris, but jus-
tice is a duty which the Press owes to them, at least
as Much as to any other fancily. In pursuing this
subject too, we are not without hopes that the
cause of justice may be combined with the cause

i(ma,

Jaracter, and titiA: Olir remarks may
induce a little more delicacy in the tone of British
speeches and publications, pretending to hold
language consonant to the feelings of the country..
The BounnoNs are greatly indebted to
is it liberal or generous to be always reminding
•
them of their obligation ? Assuredly it is the yeti
reverse ; and we are still more ashamed, when We
hear tlke good offices we have been able to do
them, held up as arguments for encroaching on
their independence, for taking undue liberties with
their station, and for demanding concessions front
their gratitude, which their sense of propriety and
justice refuses to sanction.

Such a liue of conduct would disgrace any
country, and is peculiarly unworthy of Great Bri-

tain.
Vet the feeling which would more. than anY
other, restrain a cultivated n►indl or an enlightened
people from the slightest semblance of dictation
to parties under obligation io either, is not only
much disregarded at the present time, but the
opposite extreme has been inn into, and it formed
the main,ground for passing the Resolutions at the
City Meeting—that the Bourbons. owed us a debt of
gratitude, and therefore we had a right to interfere
in the Internal Government of France. We trust
that so debasing a sentiment will, obtain
.countenance throughout atir country, for it is one
that does us no honour.
The Duke of i=:•:r,rt has been especially condemn-
ed for pre.venting the British Offi,.:ers about Paris
from sporting on his domains. We wish our gallant
Countrymen had given themselves time for a little
reflection they had, for brave men are ever li-
beral, they would not have so trespassed as to in-
vite this check. The very consciousness of hav-
ing been the means of restoring these domains VY
the Duke of BERRI would have prevented them,
from invading them even in search of pastime.
The Royal ra:i.; at Windsor, the grounds of
Hampton Court or Kensington Palace, would.'
have occurred to them, and they would have felt
by anticipation what would have been their opi-•
nion of French Officers, had they restored a Bri-
tish King, and used that as a privilege to intrude

un these Royal seats, and strip them of their pint
and venison.

'But it wag not our intention to have gone into
details on this subiect-r-we now drop it, in the
earnest hope, that some of the hints thrown out:
nr.ty have the' effect of procuring more matur'
consideration. of what is due to our NATIO)44".

CLIAIZACTEI in this respect. •
To 4o good is Dritish—to boast of it is not.---
To presume on favours bestowed, to exact

The value of the Press is inestimable, and «•e
never conteMplate the operations of this all-pow -
fill engine without feeling more than common gra-
tification if we see them directed to works of hu:-
manity. To this general sentiment we sornetimcs
superadd a, still More pleasing emotion, ,when„ ue
are enabled to -trace a portion of the original
pulse, in the cause of our' ;Conntry.and
Fellow-
creatures to our own peculiar exertions. It is in this
doubly agreeable point of view that we resume the
notice of the subject of SAVINGS BANKS, and again
press its beneficent .and merciful consideration on
the minds of the Good and Great. While we take
honest pride in claiming for THE SUN the distinc-
tion of having led the way to the agitation of this
important question, through the so universally

diffused medium of the periodical Press, it would
he unjust and injurious not to record the cordial
co-operation and support which we have received

from our Contemporaries. Among the London
Journals, the Morning Post and Times have lent
their extensive circulation and efficient aid to pro-
mote the establishment of these invaluable Insti-
tutions; and we have observed, with real delight,
that the provincial Papers have not bt;e❑ tardy in

taking or this. henevoleOt deSign. -Frmm several
of these we have copied remarks worthy of at-

teution into THE Swig, and shall continue so to
do till we can congratulate our Readers on having
procured the general adoption of such noble Mo-
ral Charities (where industry is its own teward,
and n►endicity is checked, it ❑ot rooted out, by
prudence) throughout the Empire. The follow-
ing is extracted front the Times of yesterday
" It is to this point We now turn our steadiest

attention ; for tl►e civilized world has been lout?
enough visited with Wars by the prevalence Of
wicked men► .ind wicked principles. England, as
well as every ()tiler nation, needs' opportunity to
look into her private interests, to cu►tivate her

domestic more.ls, to pur,sue• with calmness and de-
liberation the proper works of -peace. One great.
and beneficial measure of this kind we hasten to

notice, Jilt: institution ofSavings panics, than which
we know of no better means to counteract the in-
fluence (If those daily temptations, by which, the
morals of the lower classes of society in this coun-
try are assailed. Such a plan will strike at the
mot of those three giant evils'of the metropolis,
the gin-shop, the pawnoroker's shop, and the lot-
tery-office. The labottring man or the carefid ser-
vant, who feels an honest peide in accumulating his
hard-earned gains, will not rashly be led to risk
them in the delosi ye and unequal g a me of the lottery;
he will not have occasion to pledge'his own or his
employer's property at the pawnbroker's for a mo-
mentary indulgence, and he will acquire habits of
self-command, the- best preservative against the
temptatinns of intoxication. By the Saviizgs Valdes
every man who can save a shilling in the week, is
enabled to deposit it safely, and to receive inte-
rest for whatever sum he deposits, without being
under any necessity of forfeiting for disconti-
nuance. The *Edilibtirgli Society was the first.
regular establishment of this kind. It has been.
conducted with great judgment, attention, and
perseverance, and is going on with increasing
prosperity ; the deposits are constantly increasing,
and the interest allowed on the deposits, which
was at.first 41. per cent. is already 51. A similar
institution has been established at Bath ; and
another has lately been set on foot at 'Southan►p-
ton. To.botli the latter Mr. Rose has afforded
the assistance of his talents and support. It is a
circumstance in which the poorer classes of so-
ciety in England ►ere peculiarly happy, that their
interests are„ constantly and zealously studied by
great numbers of their wealthier neighbours, and
by those who, by superior education and attain-
ments are best calculated to be their advisers and
proteettirs."

* The Ituthren Bank has the honour of precedence.

The French Ministers wonlil have the •world
believv, that the Journals are now free in France
to publish every thing ;. to this end they have sup-
pressed the commission of Censorship, and at-
t., bed to every Journal a responsible Censor ; the
Journals have been ordered to annonneethe sup-
pression of the Committee, but they hilve been
forbidden to say that it has been replacer( by private
Censors.

General LAMMIQUE, who commanded in. La
Vendee against LA ROCI-I J A CQU ELIN has, it is
said, sent aXemorial to the KING, containing the
most curious rercletions relative to DAvousr,;iud
CARNOT, Ministers of War and of the Interior to
BUONAPARTE, daring his last usurpation. DA-
VOUST, he says, sent him instructions to burn
and .destroy every village iu La Vendee ; and
CARN6T supported this system of cruelty and de-
vastation.

A work on the subject of political economy has
lately been published at St. PeterSbnrg, -which
.ably attacks the system of prematurely forcing the
Manufacturing industry of nations by the prohi-
bition of foreign commodities, and inculcates the
benefits resulting from the unrestrained intercourse
of nations. In regard to Russia the author main-
tains, that the most advantageous system for that
empire would he to devote itself to agriculture,
and the raising of the raw materials which are the
produce of. its soil, while it received from other
nations the supply of manufactures necessary to
its wants. He recommends also, that no prefe-
rence should be gi‘...m to Russia shipping, but that
the ships of all nations should he allowed freely to
import their own commodities, and export the,
produce of Russia.

A letter from Dublin, dated Dec. 16, says

tile shortest, the datliest, the worst in the year,
What &wilds can enliven, what light give a ray,
To pitime the thick gloom of St. Tbo:tias the tircy ?

ills the sound of soft numbers, the•roice of the lyre,
The Star's* silver light, and the *Glow-worm's soft fire;
'Ti5 the f17.,11 of the eye, 'tts the heart's sunny glow,
Ti!s the circle of laurel thikt shines on each brow.

Perchance. when the Sun is more lavish of light,
The Star• may he paler, the Glow-worm less bright;
And the Laurel now fresh in .tiitrever-green bowers)
Alay, wither and droop in the midst of the flowers.

Though, gloomy this day, yet it shines not in vain,
This tlay wins the Son to our. rtgions again ;

The hours and the Zephyrs are now on the wing,
To chase the stern Winter, and usher the Spring.

Then strike louder the Lyre, let the light laugh go found,
'NI sorrow and sickness are lost in the sound,
And Friendship, and Hope, upon wings of delight,
. Shall speed the dark houfs of St. Thomas's night.
