" A census has been published of the popula-
tion of Paris, which affords a singular exhibition
of the state •of that capital. It eontains 27,371
boast's, 227,252 and 715,595 :inhahi-,
tants. On this cciurp++tation.it appears, that there
are on,ly ahout.three members to each family, and
that 'there are twenty-six inhabitants of each
house.—Such a condition of thitigs exposes a
'jambes- of facts that will not Pass unnoticed by
the statettiett and:, the *moralist ; and it gave rise
to that peculiar'policy adopted by Boonaparte ftir*
the peace of the capital, which, with all his in-
criffexence for the rest bf the'coutitry, he at no
period of his' usurpation abandoned.
" It has been discovered, that among the effects

,of. the
increase in the prelacies of France, and it is fondly

ence:of, the succession Would be secured, by the
birth of a prince. In this expectation the coot t has
been disappointed; and had the offspring of the
Duchess of Berri survived, the interdiction of the
SaliqueT Jaw would have prevented its ascent to
the Throne. This law is more comprehensive'
than is generally supposed, for it has not any ex-
clusive regard to the crown of France, •but it en-
