FRENCH CRIMINAL LAW. 4, Tim followijg trial, reported in the French pa- per* of December lest, presents a singular picture of the manners of the lower order in Paris: On Friday the members of the council of wsr, .assembled to try Pierre Francois Carrier, fusillier sn tht 4th regiment ol the royal guards, aged 24, .Syirn nrarSt. Qurntm. In the service since ISIS* and having belonged to the royal guard since its formation, this r mng man had always punctually performed his duty. He had the misfcrturie to firm an acquaintance with a girl of the town, nam ed Lise Merlin, and to inspire that prostitute with an attachment, of which the infamy of her course* of life, and the depravity of her character, seemed to have rendered her incapable. Can love inhabit auch hearts' Lise Merlin had long been known to add the crime of theft to that of prostitution. If she some times ceased to appear within the purlieus of de bauchery, it was to inhabit the prisons; which, with a shameless levity sl.e called her country loilgings. On leaving La Force or the Madclo. r.cttes she used to say to her companions «l uni jur.t come to town from my country house.” Carrier was guilty of the criminal weakness of partaking of disgraceful pleasures, which Un paid for with money, of the source of which lie could not be ignorant. She not only defrayed ail file eSpences they incurred together in pun!,c houses, but bi ought him money and provisions on Die day s when his duty prevented him from ctrolhng about with her. On the 23d of Septem ber, when he had b.en relieved from his turn of duly. s» one of tile sentinel* at Ihe Thuitleries. I.ise came to him and invited him to spend the day with her. Carrier did not consent at first, end told her that he must stop m t, :e barrack to ■ ii. hisarms To remove this she gate him 3’j . saying, * tlu re, get on. of your comrade* to : ;;.n ttien: tod c.ttr.r and dine »i*h me” Carri er, ••ovrrvrr, put the money in his pocket, and -c I .could clean the arms himself when he Ti.' cne.J *i hey p: -.’cededtas publieheuse, anti **> ’ spenued '*» soui in *yi"its in * place where rtcri.cr the b.st nor the dearest is sold After .-t. pptr.g at severs! places, they arrived at the bar rier ci Mousscaa, where they dined Their re- S was shgtit. but they Washed it with four lifes nt wine 3’be understanding of Carrier began to •’C troubled; b.e f-eemed to ho irritated been old ijuiiTel, the nature of which could bo • eri* itnper- fertly collected by the words which the witness- e> tad co’lecte 1.

' ojse ol .Mr. J Friar, a farmer, at Studlty, nt frowbiidge, and a short distance from the pt till's, to be taken care of, as being incapaois aking care of himself. All the lender interviews, d appeared, happened in the pi tseuoe ot ihiro pcrsoni; and the extent of the defendant's pro mise was, he was heard to say, "'he was tired biding at Friar's and he would marry her {Mary Sartain.] and he would make * settlement on lr of 4,'jOUi. The plaintiff consented, aim soon _ ier bought the license and the ring. Defends. *ent into Gloucester in the month of October, when be said, his deary Mary should not remain at heme a fortnight longer. Sarah Pearce, the wife of Mr. Pearce, draper, of Trowbridge, be' ing called, gave her evidence with such gratuit ous volubility, asexcited the risabili y of tbe whole court. She begged the judge would let he know when she spoke too fast tor him. Jfis lord siip drily replied, '‘indulge yourselves Mam' Mrs Pearce proceeded—'-I was sent lor by Mr. \mnr (the defendant) to the Sun Inn at Trow oridge, and there in the presence of the plaintiff and her father, he told me to let Mary Sartain have what goods she liked, and that he would pay for them within a month. I accordingly recommend ed her some dresses becoming a lady, w hich 1 ex pected she would soon b* made; and the had eight or ten very handsome dresses. Ribbons and bride favors I sold her in great numbers. I c: assure you Ibtre was no scarcity, and I would have ao|d ten times as o».ch if I cculd for 1 had an unlimited order. At last Mr Green told me not to let any more go wi'.bout further onlerr.- Mary Sartain is a very pretty girl.” The defen. dant, however, when he moved into Gloucester, forgot hia "plighted vows,” and ail about the ten handsome dresses, Mr* Pearce had made; he took up his residence at Berry Lodge, about a quaiter cfamile frnm Ra’heaston, and soon after very cooly married Ann Lawes, his servant. It appear ed on the defence, that her parents’ comfort was the «ne yna rten of the plaintiff s atta. hment; when I am married (she had said) my father and n.o ther will be comfortable. The defendant, how ever, was heard to refuse to marry ihe whole fa. mily. On which plaintiff’s father said ‘ I'll be curs, ed if ever Amor shall have my daughter; tvtrv thing th-t 1 have done, licence and what not, shall be set aside; and if ever Amir enmes to my pre mise* again. I'll kick him to the devil; it shall be *11 over this night.” He said to his daughter— I’ll not go near him (Amor) myself, and if ever the’*! go near him, I’ll he cursed if don’t split thy skull.” Amur is in his 40th year, a weak mind ed man, very silly; plaintiff’s mother washed iiis linen, to whose dwelling house he frequently went, and never returned without being tipsy”, sometimes twice a day. The judge (Best) said— for a plaintiff to ask damages for the happiness she lias lost in not being married to a man whom she never loved, is an insult to common sense; and though the father ha* a right to bring this action ‘or Ids daughter, the being an infant, yet if e refused to give his consent to’he mar.-iag, it point cflr.w it cannot stand. \\ hat damages can yon give a person for the !oss i f a husband, with whom it would be almost a profanation to go >0 the sacred al'ar. It has been stated ( aid ilis lordship) that the defendant is just come from a work-hou-e, and if he does not get into better hands, it is my opinion he will return there again. The jury returned their verdict for the defendant. Mr Serjeant Pell, for plaintiff.—Mr. Gaselee for defendant.

We feel it in America; we hear t in Kurope. flow many persons anxious ly ask, when is this state of things to end? ilow is it to wind up? Europe, not exhausted, but weakened by the tears ol the French revolution, is la boring under grievous embarrassments W ar adds to flte debt, not to the wealth of a nation- Xot only are its soldiers and seamen withdrawn from its productive la bor, but they must be maintained by the productive labor of others. They neither reap nor sow—and they toil ’r.ot for wealth; they add nothing to the stork ol national rithts; hotvivtr much thev may tJd to national glory* or security. But, as they make nothing for themselves, they mu«t live upon others. Government must either tas the people for their support, or it must run in debt—in other worth, tax posterity by anticipation. The last now the resource of all governments.— They fly to credit for infinitely th »greater part of the expenses of their wars. They borrow capital on what terms they can; the very capital which would have contri buted to put active labor into motion, is lavished upon fleets and armies; the nation makes less, while it runs deeper into debt, ft-is paper credit; the facility of making loans, by funding them, that has enabled Europe to carry on her late wars;T»ut this very facility has diverted ber productive labor and capital into other channels, and plunged her deeper into debt. Site has been playing the part of a spendthrift, who burns his candles at both ends; he makes less to live on,while he spends more; he final lj finds his cstaffsare to be hampered ‘ * .*■ ./■• A * • • ... :. . , ' dl while his Capital is 'too much reduced to enable-him by his profits to discharge his debts. France, indeed, contrived to carry on the war on belter terms than most of her enemies. She lived upon them. Ue> troops levied requisitions wherever they marched, her own capital therefore v,*a less reduced, while her debt was not frightfully increased, as was that of her adversaries. The wheel, however, has turned. France, who pieyed upon others," has been preyed on in her turn. Her at lies have demandcd.and are receiving hea vy reimbursements. These site tvas com polled to raise by loans. Unfortunately lor her, the amount was so large, the in stability of her government so great, and its credit so low, that lor every hundred francs she run in debt for, she sometimes received only 60 or 70 francs; thus makin the amount of her funded debt so much larger than it really was. She however tvas the only one who tell Dus addition for tiie commercial world, from w hom she made these loans,did not of course advance so much. But, stiil its loans to the French government have been very considerable: perhaps we may safely rate them at neat ly £110,000,000.’ A large part of those i< ans lias been matlr by English merchant •vho have thus withdrawn Irom the mer tantile world such a portion of capital as liicy have lor a time locked up in those ev i'jeuces of French debts. Here then is new drain Irom the mercantile means ol England; a new cause of tiie pressure upon her markets. But, France is not the out} j nation that has lately had occasion to bor [ row*. Sweden, Prussia, Austria, and it oeiiered Uussia, also have been induced to maka In&tis, partly to meet their othe dr-tti, par by to d fray the expense of their great iniiiuuy establishments. All ■ nans are so much lor the * time taken out of the commercial markets; ptincipaily irom (hat u( England, the nation which h the greatest moated facilities at her coin mand. VViiat then with the waste and expense of the late wars; what w ith ti.e loans cenlly contracted by Fiance and othe states; we have souie'ciuts to the present embarrassments ot Europe. We throw out of view her over dealings in cvitai, lines; particularly the over d ulings of lb British tnanulai turers. it is notoriou that they have fluodeil n a y of the conti nental markets with tour goods; wsiico Irom a variety of causes has been some times a losing business. From Europe let us turn lo America.— Here, we find in almost every quai U I,an un paralleled embarrasmont in tue market. North, South, East and kv e-.t. there have been very heavy fatiuie* in tl mercantile world. Ii WbuUvvoci..y.-. i;av heard of several large houses iu Finho'e phia giving way;oil* "f these, is one of lr, largest East India aealers on this co-it ncut. But it exlends to almost all class..-. The products of our land, the land i.s.ll, all sorts ol property, bank stocks have,fallen in price; and money alone seems to increase in value. This pressure for (ha want ol stru^^le. money is said to be heavily felt in the wes tern country. We are told by a L--x>ngton next paper of the 7th inst, that “industrious ject mechanics are without employment;” tuut “extensive factories in that vicinity,which constitute a capital of at least half a mil lion of dollar*, are idle and unproductive;” of nd ns one of the signs of these melancliot- ly times, we are told, “that the factory built by Air. Sanders, w hich, with the ma chinery, cost upwards of gl30,0u0, togeth er with many other valuable buiidiugr, and Pwards nt one hundred acres of lanu ere sold the first of this motitn, for S21,000, upon a credit. I need not see lor examples in Virginia; and particular! this city. Here a deeper gloom ban over us, than ever was witnessed by toe oldest inun. The late war was sunshine, mpared with these times. The block atle of the Clu gipeake vv. snothinz, iu com parisnn w itn the deep distress which reigns rver us. It is not my business to disgui lie facts. It is ridiculous to t-fle ta se cretof what is known to the whole world We cannot make use of rose water. Toe present season requires plain, manly, un sophisticated truth. And vvliat is tli cause of this state of things? Isay it is principally over denting; it is over dealing, principally brought into the country by over-banking. It is.i melancholly (nay worse, it is a disgraceful) (act, that this country, blessed beyond any that the world ever shone up on, has been brought to this > condition principally by monied institution,: by their multiplication and mismanagement Bunks have sprung up like mushrouns. One state in one moment shot up forty of them; ano ther, thirty; There is no state, which ha9 not been cursed by them, as Egypt was by her locusts. But every new bank added to the embarrassments of the circulating medium in these two ways; if cripple* the old ones by robbing them of a part of their specie, and it threw out mure paper, thus increasing a circulating medium that »a* already too large. But it was the mismanagement, more than multiplication of the banks, which has brought on the pressuie: or rather it was' their multiplication which principally con tributed to mismanagement. Being crea ted, they most go to work; or else they could make littie dividends, and their stock must seil low. But if they could not go to work judiciously, they must do it inju diciously. It is thus that their excessive competition ou the one hand, and ignor ance of the truedheory of banking on the other, have led to a mismanagement of tbeir funds. And how mismanaged? itis (he province of banks only to lend kelps for a short time to real capital; not to cie- ate a fictitious capital by accommodation [vper. Adam Smith-tells us what kind of help he thinks this ought to be. “What a bank can with propiiety advance to a mer chant or undertaker ol any kind, is not ei ther the whole capital wilh which he trades, or even any considerable patt of that capital; bat that plrt of it only, which he Jv* ’*> ‘ *■- wouldointswiseiieobliged tfl"keep by himttposed, other-sources or-re»eo«re mast be unemployed-and in ready- moner-’for an- svyeriugoccasioiial demands.” But instead of this -minimum, ou*- numerous bar.kshavr sometimes stretched their loans to the ut most—their issues have been -anade for every sort of purpose. They h ive created accommodation paper, to enable one man to buy up large realestat*; another to budd bouses and buy furniture;'a third, to purchase whole crops of tobacco and flour, or whole cargoes of foreign goods; a fourth to purchase the fixed capital of large manu factories. They have led us into tem- tation: and it must be ..-unfessed »e hav« easily fallen into it. The uncommon fa cility of obtaining a ficlitious’capital, in pa per, has given birth to- the wildest spirit of speculation. Speculation lias generated banks; and banks have generated a tenfold spirit of speculation. It is well known, for example, that when the farmers' bank of Virginia was first established, ii almost thafrv open its doors, and begged for customers. II it is so here, what must the case have been with the 40 or 50 banks of Pennsylvania? This over dealing was displayed, ac cording to the field on which it fastened it self. The trade in British goods has been vastly overdone; aud so has that to the East Indies; to tiie south,the trade in cot- provided, by a system of internal taxation, ami that too of unprecedented -amount.— VVe do nut,-however, mean to enter into this discos si an, which we willingly leave to fie able pens which are engaged ots both sides ut it. Our object is, (o suggest, that the present- is -not on occasion of sucti emergency, as, within the contemplation of the constitution, to justify the execu tive in requiring an extra suasion of con gress.* The state of public affairs, weare yctof opinion, is r.ot essentially varied since the close of the.last session of congress.— The depreciation in the price of our agri cultural products in Europe had then com menced; the further progte is of it was an ticipated, as the natural and inevitable consequence of a general peace; the de pression in tlic.piice of stocks nad takem effect. It was expected here, if it -was not in Philadelphia, that those who had dealt largely in stocks, aud those engag ed in foreign trade who hail gone beyoi.fi their depth, would sutler, and that all de pendent on them would be more or-lest affected. 'Vet, under all these circuns- stanccs, well understood, congress refus ed, by a vote of almost ten to one, to fgr an earlier than the stated day, for meeting of congress. The facts adduced ton: with us, the speculation in flour, in to-1 by oui correspondent, of the depression of b.iurn. and in Infs. An«l mart- ..c ..... bacco, aud in lots. And mark its effects too upon the moral habits of this nation. A wild, intriguing, chaffering, subtle spirit of speculation, has taken the place too fre-, q-really ol a patient, and honorable indus try. We wanted to take short cuts to for tune. We would not stoop to work hard for pence andshillings.when wesawourad- venturous neighbors accumulate thousands of dollars by a bold or cunning stroke of speculation. Economy too was deserting us as well as itrdustry. We must live high;—drink the costliest wines; dash out in the finest equipages; built deuii-palaces, and furnish them in the most sumptuous manner. Our manners were silently cor- rupting; our republican principles were undermining. Wealth, fashion, aristo- racy in expenditure, wire becoming the orders ol the day. To give lurther scope to speculation, or extravagance, when these banks began to be more reserved in their favours, we began to bend the knee to the ■itlmnty of bank directors, or present out throats to the usurer’s knife. Great God! aimost stait at the picture I have drawn; and i ask myself, is this republican Ameri Is it possible that this is any thin tbe t ut’ “ the price of our products, the failure oi merchants, etc. afford no argument, sure ly, for encrcasiog the present duties eu imports, but rather for reducing them; that being the only legislative measure by which these classes, represented as suffer-ittg, could be benefited— the only measure by which the revival of cotnnteice could he aided. Our cpiuion is that time will al leviate the existing evils; whilst the inter position of government might aggravate, but could nut cure them- As to the man ufacturers, represented as suffering itt gi^ut extremity, tbeir situation, if varied at ail since the adjournment ol cougrees, is varied for the better, by the reductioi of the cost of the raw inatcria's, without a correspondent reduction of the price of foreign fabrics. Admitting, in its fullest extent, the pre sent distress; deeply lamenting it, but considering it inevitable, w e a:e of opinion tlut an extra session in congress, at the present moment, would produce effect* the most pernicious to trade in general, ami distressing to the commercial, and even to the manufacturing classes.
