To-day we received Paris Papers of Tuesday.- We
have selected such articles as appear interesting. The
Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Monday with
several important subjects, relative to what may not
inaptly be termed the domestic eConomyof France.'
It would appear that any well disposed citizen may,
in the shape of a memorial, make known his ideas to:
tile amelioration of the condition of his country.—
Papers were read on Monday, by M.'S'''. limatne,
the French Botanist, on the management of Forest
Trees, and by M. Islam-, on the impost on Tobacco.
A Petition was presented from an individual, pray-
ing a tepcal of all the Laws admitting of Divorce,
and of the Law fbr the Legitimation of a Child born
300 days after the presumed pregnancy of the mother.
Tire masons assigned for rejecting this Petition, by
the Committee to whom it was referred, are sound
and judicious. M. Newmann, the organ of the
Committee, thus expresses himself r—is There is more
zeal than prudence in the proposal of this Petitioner.
The Laws of Divorce, introduced too hastily among
us, in the midst of great political commotions, long
partook of the impressions inseparable from the era
of its birth and-the latitude which had been given to
them. But a period of greater tranquillity brought on
discussions on the subject and necessary modifiCations
were ititrodnced. The Civil Code, in rejecting doubt,
fia moral causes, since false and simulated consents
were sufficient to prove them, and adopting only the
physical effects resulting from these weighty causes,
when legally justified, has shewn itself more severe
than MONTESQUIEU, who says that, 4, where the law
establishes causes which may break through a mar-
riage, mutual incompatibility is the strongest of all !"
'The respect which is due by the civil jaw to the reli-
gion of the State has been also respected, since the
Married persons who think themselves united by the
precepts of the latter, may withdraw themselves from
an ill assorted union, jay means more appropriate to
'their opinions. As to the secorid object of the Peti.
Cron, the author alias himself ignorant of the laws
Of nature. It has been said that it was better that
'many guilty persons should escape than that one in.
nocent person should suffer : would the Petitioner not
he-saying that,“'it is betterto run the risk-of absolving
from all suspicion several guilty women, thin con-
,
denin a single virtuous wife ?"
M.. M EI:Z afterwaids brought fors ard a proposal.
(or n•lavir--, to raider the cultivation, manufacture,
and plc of Tobacco 'quite free—establishing in lieu
bf the Royal monopoly., at present retained, a-tas
which shall conciliate the interests of agriculture, in.
&sir,' and commerce, with those of the Royal Trait-
MErz, in the fonsso.of his speech, drew
a Most forcible picture. (*.the Oppressive system of
monopolies, and evinced a profound knowledge of
political economy. The ijstem of farming the duties.
of this plant, adopted previous to 1789, the Speaker
reprobated as high!), injudicious, and maintained,
'that from all he could learn the culture of tuoacco
would yield an annual produce of 80 million. of
francs. Under the system of monopoly in the years
1812 and 181.5, the net produce was 30,8U0,000
francs. In 1.40 it amounted to 33 millions. ''het;
proposed measure also involves the entire prohibition
of the importation of manufactured foreign tobacco,
and the free exportation of manufactured tobacco
from France. Unmanufactured foreign tobacco may
still be imported* subject to certain regulations.
The proposal of M. Marz was received with great
approbat;on and ordered to be printed, and afterwards
referred to a Coninattee.
