EXTRACTS FROM THE FRENCH JOURNALS

Di voac e.—The foll g paragraph is inge-
nious on the law of divorce :
M. de Schonen came to demand the re-establish-
ment of the law of divorce at the Chambers. We
do not fear to say, that never a parallel proposition
was presented to a national chamber. The divorce
demanded in 1789, that of which the Duke of Or-
leans was the bearer, was decreed in 1792, towards
the dismal days of the 2d and 3d of September,
Marriage is a contract between three persons, two
present, one (the child) absent, but represented by
the public power, guarantee of the engagements of
the spouse, for public authority always represents
in the family the person absent, the child before its
birth, the father after his death. The contract
formed by or between three persons cannot be
broken by two to the prejudice of the third, the
most feeble of the society ; and this tbird person
can never consent to a rut lure wholly to his pre-
judice, because that he is always minor in the
family. Marriage is a natural, not a commercial
association. The joint capital is nut equal, since
the man brings the protection of strength, the wo-
man the wants of feebleness. The results in case
of separation are not equal, since the man separates '
possessed of all his authority, and of all that which
the woman brought pureless—youth, beauty, fruit-1
fulness, fortune, she can, in case of dissolution,
take back only her money. Marriage is then na-
turally indissoluble. To establish divorce, is the
will to corrupt morals by the laws. Not only will
it corrupt thus the family by the license permitted
to the desires of man, but it will banish happiness
and peace by the hatred which divorce will not fail
to kindle amongst families. In fact, what resent-
tnents will it not excite among sensible people, just
appreciators of the benefit and the offence ? What
tears, n hat blood will not flow, from the affront of ,
a girl of innocence, sent back without honour and
without name, into the bosom of those parents
which she had formerly quitted, happy and proud
of the beauty of a virgin, and the dignity of a
bride ? And if the French degenerate to the point
of being insensible, they will, without doubt, soon
arrive at that excess of abasement on which a
neighbouring people has fallen, to value by pounds,
shillings, awl pence, the weakness of woman, the I
crime of a seducer, the shame of a husband, and to
adjudge the injury received by the amount of da
lunges —Gazette de France.
Pat Esys AND RELic; too Whenever a great
calamity conies to afflict a nation, when a storm
carries an ay um harvest, or drouth withers it in the
bud, when a murderous epidemical disease spreads
a funeral veil over a dismayed population, the
priests do not fail to thunder, from the height of
their holy tribune, against the incredulity of man,
and ascribe to the impiety of the age, the plagues
which weigh upon us. At their voice we feel sor-
rowful and humiliated, we strike our breasts, and
cry fur mercy, because we have faith, and in our
grief we do not examine whether GOD presides at
a punishment which falls indiscriminately upou in-
nocence and guilt. A great revolution has changed
the face of the kingdom ; an irritated peop:e took
up arms against its oppressor; a throne has fallen,
Intl blood has flowed. Immediately they exclaim,
De.iolation of desolation !" But for this time their
voice only struck the vaults of the•temple. To their
ions lamentations they were answered with songs of
triumph. Priests, where are, then, the impious
whOntGon in his justice wished to chastise ? . . .
Now your time is arrived, stoop you: foreheads
under the sword of Providence, and ask mercy of
W. Thy master said to you, " Your kingdom is
not of this world ;" and from the, altar you walked
down to the arena of political passions. You have
