Between the aoth. of June and zoth of July, no
less than sixty-six persons committed suicides at
Pais, of whom twenty-two were women. Eig h.
teen drowned themselves, eight hanged themselves,
thirty poisoned their elves, and ten shot them-
selves. Among them, the most remarkable Was
Josephine Barre, in the RueSt.Mminique,
fit of jealousy, p.)isoned her lover, and aftcrws"t!!
herself ; but, apprehensive that the poison world
have no effect, she shot herself through the
heart.. •A letter upon the table explained the cause
of this rash aft. She was just turned of seven-
teen, and an only child of a rich wood merchant,
who has been mad ever since. Her mother•died of
convulsions on the day of her daughter's
suicide.
Another suicide, Louis De Fay, aged twenty-one,
fell in love with his own sister ; and his mother hav-
ing discovered his incestuous passion,- he poisoned
them both, and afterwards hanged himself. In a
letter to the Prefect of Police, he demanded to be
buried in the same grave with his. sister, which has
been consented to. She was not quite fifteen.
According to the registers of the Police, the
5 ;
common girls in Paris amount to .44, 0o and
1809 kept mistresses are known to the Police.—
Among these unfortunate persons,
nearly one. third
are divorced women, who, within some few years,
have been married to several husband,i. The former
laws . concerning divorces may therefore truly be
called the laws of legal prostitution,
and they have
done more harm to the morals of the people than
all the horrid examples, vices, and crimes, they have
witnessed since the Revolution. According to our
renewed civil code, it requires at least twelve
months before an. at of divorce can he obtained,
A Memorial has been presented to the French Go.
vernment, in which it has been proposed, that." every
French Citizen, every year, on the day of his mar.
riage, or on the birth of a child, should be obliged,
under a tine of fifty livres, to plant a tree in the
neighbourhood of his residence ; and that every
parent, widow, widower, son, and daughter, on the
day of the decease of their relatives or friends, are
to plant trees on their graves, Or ,not far distant
from their plaees of burial. If this Memorial was
changed into a Law, not only fuel would be cheaper,
but in ten ye'ars we should have timber enough to
build. both Flotillas and a Fleet more powerful and
numerous than that of *England ; and, instead of
importing timber or planks from Russia, Sweden,
and Denmark, we should have sufficient to provide
Spain,' Portugal, and Italy, with this necessary
'article."
The concourse of the BOURBON PRINCES at
Russia,' added to the preparations which the Em.
peror ALEXANDER has for some time been making,
portend some important movements that seem likely
to be produCtive of extraordinary events. The
career of the French Usurper has been marked by
such oppression, injustice, and violations of the
rights and independence of other States, and he has
treated al pacific mediations with so much con.
tempt, that strong measures must be employed to
check, if possible, hie insolence and daring ambition.
His condo& at home too is so despotic, that nothing
but the awe inspired by his Military hordes has
prevented a general Rebellion against his ill-gotten
power. The whole of Europe therefore seems to
be ripe for vengeance on the great Disturber of
• .Mankind ; arid we are not without hope that his
downfall may soon be as conspicuous as his elevation,
and prove a warning to ail upstart Tyrants to the
end of time.
