IRON TR! JOURNAL DU DEBATS OF SIONDAT.
PARIS, Arm. 8.
Every one; undoubtedly, remembers that the Keeper
of the Seals published, some weeks since, its the form
of a Report to the King, the Analysis of a general Ac-
count of the Administrati'n of Criminal Justice in
France, during the whole year. In quoting some ex-
tracts from the Report to/ehe King, we telt it our duty
to applaud the useful enterprise of uniting, classing,
and presenting to our minds the whole of the facts
which comoe the juilliciary annals of the kingdom
Now this vest work is entitely befine. our eyes. The
most important considerations are connected with it; the
most curious eplanaLions spring from it. We remark
with horror, that about One hunted and fifty-thousand
Frenchmen have appeared att"e bar of tlrz-Correc.ional
Tribunals, or Courts of Assiz , in the course of one
year ; that t ut of this number, more than 122,000 have
been condemned to different species of punishments;
27,000 to corporal punishments, 5,000 to ignominious
punishments, 1,600 to the &ape and its corruptions,
and 176 to death. Thus, out of 200 inhabitants of
our peaceful and rich territory, more than one will
be subjected to accusation in the course of the year;
one in 240 who will be condemned; one in LOW
who will be imprisoned; one in ten thousand who
will be disgraced beyond the chance of reform; one
in less than 20,000 who will be delive, ed by the law
to the school of every crime, and, of all rffences, one in
166,000 whom the hand of the executioner will efface
from the number of the living. Every department thus
furnishes its contingent of two men tins annually put
to death by society; and as this terrible sacrifice is un-
ceasingly renewed, and as human life is confined to an
average of about thirty years, it results that allowing
for 1825 nil being reckoned among the most san
guinary years, out of 5500 men who are born, one is
born so be sentenced to death by his Peers. This re-
sult makes us tremble. And yet France is that kingdom
of Europe which joins to the softest manners the least
numerous crimes; and, of alleges, ours is certainly that
in which m-n play least with the lives of their fellow.
men. It would be rash to draw, from the calculations of
a single year, inductions as to the causes which may in
different places incite t r crime. We will therefore, at
this time, abstain from all considerations of this na•
Lure ; and for the future even the won k of the
Chancery will only become useful in proportion as
attempts are made to cla s the infractions of the law
according to their known incitements. On most oc-
casions the crime itself proves its origin. ,The le-
gislature will thus know the bad propensities which
are the most developed in tine countries sufimitted
to his governance. He will see that here revenge,
jesloury, fury ; there the thirst of g tin are displayed.—
Oa seeking in the list of crimes and punishments, those
which seem to betray the plans and habits of distress.
we find already that 80,000 prosrcutions nut of 100,000,
are for invasion: of property; such is the .hare of po-
verty. The remainder may be attributed to the pas
sinus; but the passions and distress have a common re-
medy; that is, the instruction which gives knowledge
to mos ality,ssoftens the manners, dissipates bad inclina-!
tions by indtntry, and protects from hunger by its pro-
ductions. Instruction is to the people a new cxi tense,
for it gives it a new conscience and new limbs. What
crime can there be worse than that of the Statesman,
who stifles this second creation, instead of devoting
himself entirely to accomplish and extend it?

Lind KING stated, that he had to present to their
Lordships -a Petition against the Corn Laws—a Petition
very numerously signed, and coming from persons
who had very severely felt the distresses if the times.
It came from the inhabitants of Oldham, in the county
of Lancaster, and perhaps would not be thought by
their Lordships worthy of .much attention. It was the
Petition of the poorer sort, who were not growers, but
only consumers of coin, but was to be presented to all
Assembly nhich was well known to be exceedingly disin•
terested and liberal on this subject. The Petition prayed
fur a repeal of the Coin Laws, and for a metallic cur-
rency. -Their Lordships were aware that Ministers had,
on a certain occasion,- procdred a Resolution to be
passed in another Assembly, to the effect that a It. note
in paper was equal to 11 in seecie, at a time when the
paper had notoriously suffered a very considerable de-
preciation. They had by this means wrought a soft of
transub,rantiation, and this new doctrine of transub-
stantiat on might be added to the 39 Church Ai ticlec,_
as a 40th article to the creed of national faith. A cer-
tain statesman had also found out, that although a man
worth nothing should awake some morning and find a
'guinea in his pocket, it would be of no use to himfbut
such was the gtindiug effect of taxation, that although
a man should go to sleep with a guinea in ks pocket,
he was very likely when he awoke to find nothing there.
Then the Ministers came with their Corn Lvas, think-
ing that by this means they could facil tate the pay-
ment of taxes, and the law was enacted by persons, who.
in this manner, taxed others for their own benefit. What
would they think in France, of the circum‘tarce of one
tilos of persons so far domineering over ocher, as to
make them pay tate: for the peculiar benefit of that
class? Even before the Revolution, •there was nothing
Snore than an attempt to preserve old abuses; but our Mr.
sisters and Legilators, not content with old abuses, had
recashe to those Corn Laws, aid thereby introduced
more abuses. The old Freych Nobles thought and acted
upon the opinion, that the lower ord. r; were Made h•t•
the sole purpose of being worked and taxed for the be-
nefit of their betters ; and the Nobles and Gentry of this
country appeared to think, that the lower orders were
made only to starve for their advantage. But Nobles,
and,- he was apprehensive, Princes also, were father en
indocile race, and had gained but very little, in point of
wisdom or knowledge, from the exam, 1-of the French
Revolution. The only country in Europe where corn was
as dear as it was in this country was the country of King
Ferdinand, and it was to be presumed that he too had his
Corn Laws for the purpose of keeping up price.. Ferdi.
hand was. indeed, a King evesy inch of him, and had
learned nothing from the Fiend) Revolution ; and when
he wanted to m .ke a change in his Ministry. he took
rate to advise on Vie subject with some cunning old
Jesuit, so that the new Government was, in effect, the
same as the old; end thus nothing was gained.—
To be sure, King Ferdinand was said to be rathes a
flimsy kind of Gentleman, and much itneestid about
petticoats and such matters, and, besides, a man of very
royal bearing, as Cardinal Wolsey said of his master.
Moreover, he had a keeper of his conscience, to whose
advice, no doubt, he paid a proper deference. But
wi h respect to these petitioners. they prayed ler se-
trenchment in the Fublic eta enditure, as well as for a
repeal of the Corn Liws.
The Eall of LAUDERDALE objected to the se.
ceiving the Petition, which he said was irregular, hues.
much as the petition and the signatures were written
in different patches. It had been the practice of their
Lordships to reject such petitions, unless the party who
presented Them chose to withdraw them.
Lord KING said that the prayer of the petition was
written un the same piece watt the signatures.
Lord CLIFDEN asked what was to be dos • in ern
a petition should be too long to allow cfthe signatures
being attached to the same piece of paper or poti eimette?
Lord KING understood that a little Far in` would care shade.
feet, and he withdrew the Petition for the time, in 4.r.ler .to pot it
in regular shape.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, if we heard right, that
the Petition had at least afforded the Noble Lord au off "triunity
of making one of his pretty "etches.
Lord KING then presented a Petition from the Weevers of
Perth, praying for a Repeal of the Cora Laws, which was received,
and laid on the table.—Adjourned.
