PARIS, Nov. 28.

Yesterday evinced the determination of the Government
to grapple with the Association Bretonne—the result shows that
its objects can no longer be questioned. A letter of M. la Flue,
alluded to in the papers of this day, proves the fixed resolves of the
Associates to persevere—a crisis is, consequently, at hand.
A catalogue of the crimes committed in France, under the eye
of its celebrated police, would affright a foreigner about to make
this country his residence. A detailed statement would be tire-
some, but a few brief instances may not, perhaps, be uninteresting,
or altogether useless.
In no country in the world is the value of human life at so low
an average as in France. If a gentleman receive a mere construc-
tive affront, tyrant Custom extorts from him the peril of his own
life, and that he place that of the offender in jeopardy, " in the
field of honour," however much he may be imbued with orna-
ments of religion and humanity. If a charcoal-porter, or water-
carrier, suspect the fidelity of his mistress (an oyster-wuenan for
example.) he puts her to death in the most cruel manner with his
horrible knife, and then either anticipates the guillotine, by turning
his weapon against himself, or, after an imbecile attempt at escape,
mounts the scaffold with a " sang frold" disturbed only by an oc-
casional sneer at the attending Minister of Religion. If a soldier
receive a rebuke from his superior, he, very quietly, loads his mus-
ket, and removes the stain by blowing out his own brains—some-
times, it is true, taking the life of his unhappy officer " en passant."
A losing gamester stops at no crime to supply his wants, unless in
the first paroxysm of be incapacitates himself from injuring
others, by suicide. passion
ry day we read of cases of parricide and
fratricide, sufficiently revoking to make the blood curdle in our
veins. Robbery is frequently followed by the most horrifying
murders; simple homicide" without premeditation" produces no
sensation even of disgust. Can any thing be more deplorable than
this state of society ?
The trials of four individuals for assassination stand fixed for
this day, with the results of which I hope to be able to acquaint
you by this post. The trial of the adscreant, for the murder of his
wretched mistress, called La Piot* (the little me) last week, will
net take place until next month. That of the parricide Josephine
Bouvier, at Bourg (par contunsace) you have no doubt extracted
from the Journals. The most extraordinary feature in it was, the
almost miraculous preservation of the body of her victim, which at
the end of 7 years, was found so perfect as to enable the surgeons.
without trouble, to detect the presence of arsenic in the stomach.
—A man of large fortune is in custody here, as you already know,
accused of the murder of his first wife, and an attempt to assassi-
nate his second ; but the latter baying retracted her depositions,
and no new evidence having been obtained, be will escape, although
not immediately ; for writs of habeas corpus being unknown to the
French Constitution, the Crown has a discretionary power to con-
fine parties charged with offences until every exertion to prove his
guilt or innocence shall bate been made. Another man stands
charged with similar crimes, by means almost incredible—namely,
the murder of his first wife, by convulsions excited by tickling the
soles of bee feet, having previously secured her by swathing her
body in the manner of a mummy! No marks of violence being
observable, the poor woman was deemed to have died a natural
death. The attempt on the second wife failed in its murderous in-
tention, but she is insane.
The Coon of Cessation having on Thursday last rejected the
appeal of Daumus Lupin, convicted of the murders of the Au-
bergiste and his wife, in the valley of Montmorency. last January,
the sentence ought, according to the spirit of the law, to have been
'executed yesterday (within 24 hours of the rejection of the appeal,)
but it is postponed to Wednesday nest, to give time for some fur-
ther inquiries. No moral doubt can, however. be entertained of
the prisoner's guilt; his esecution will accordingly take place.
Two ludicrous circumstances show the general prevalence of the
idea, that a change of men would bring with it a clump of mea-
sures. The late Minister of Police forbade the appearance of " les
Mks publiques," in the Paiais Royal, on the Boulevards ; and, in
short, their obtru4on upon the public eye. He, with the same re-
gard to decency, banished from the market of St. Germain., to the
horse-market. the dog-dealers' who held their sales there on Sun-
day mornings. The moment Prince Pulignac assumed the reins of
Government, and that the Minister of Police was changed, the
cyprians and the dog-stealers returned to their haunts and their
traffic; but they were mistaken in their belief that the good old
times had returned, and were compelled once more to seek the
shade.
Having incidentally referred to the practice of duelling, so fre-
queut in France, it may not be amiss to state the origin of the
late affair between MIL de Montmorency and Lstare, -without,
however, any intention to connect their names with the system
against which I have inveighed.
M. Lafam, nephew and heir to the Peerage of the Cardinal of
that name, married the sister of his brother °Meet Montmorency
(Prince de Robeque) and made (as is reported) but an indifferent
husband. • Montmorency interfered, sot during the life of his sir
ter, bat immediately upon her decease, which lately took place ; be
challenged Ware" a l'outranee " wbh accepting the caul, they
and (as you already how) Ltd five shot• nook with Out effect.
The sixth from Lafare wounded Montmorency severely in the
breast, sod thus ended the affair for the present.—Jdoritirsi HOWL
