It was the least that cenld be done & mitigate their nSerings by a few hoars ef honest and denting amusement .

      Citizen Caussidiere ' s account of the propagandist expedition to Belgium throws new tight on an affair vhichhas been so much canyassed , bat hitherto so little understood . Ledra Roilia his had the entire blame of that expedition laid to his account , bnt it * onld appear that the blame is dne to the' moderate ' majority of the Provisional Government .

As they were leaving the Hotel de Tille , Hercwr and Posse met Colenel Bsy , the governor of the HoUI and Posse asked him if he eodd notprovide him with muskets . Citixen Key seemed by no me . ni asto . nlshedat tns request , but simply replied that he bad already dUtrfbutrf aU thaweapon . at M . disposal , art that oonstqaratly he ooold not at present give him as * The Sienr Foste nsde similar sUtemeuts to myself , addingshathe bad hadaa InterviewwiftM . BssUde ^ andhadobtainedhUconsent , He showed me the letter of craait he had received from M . Buchtt , and renewed Uanqpart for a special train . He had to meet the

      Belgians that very evening at the railway station , where he had appointed to jela them , and he disked absolutely to start thatTeryday , I toW Wm to return fa two noun , and had all Us movements watched . I wished to consult the Minister of the Interior , but he was at cflundl , and I could not obtain anything from him . At the appointed haw Fosse returned ence more to request permission to leave . I scarcely knew how to act , so I took Fosss along with me to the Minister of the Interior . After waiting an honr , M . Ledra RoUVs secretary informed me tBtt too members of the goTern . ment were to attend a popular representation at < ne 2 J ** e Ko ^ omX , and that I should probably find the MlnUter of the Interior there .

      I was now at last obliged , for fear of countermanding erfers beyond my juriidiction , to graat the permission required . Herder whom I had instructed to keep an eye oa the railway- « tatio » , eame and infermea me that the iepsrtnn beU had nag , uj that the etetlon was crawded with Belgians . A train had been prepared for fee two detachments . I say two , beeause the fifteen hundred Belgians who left were divided amongst themselves , those cemmauded by Blervacq accusing Posse swd his party of kaiiug sold themselves to the Prinee of Orange ; these , on the other hanl , declared that Biervaeq ana bis companions supported the bad canso . A Tioltnt aiipute arose , and it wu with' diffionlty that a fight was pre « at « d ; they thieatened" to set fire to the stationandealled outfor sepsratetrains . Citizen Her .

      der . ta the presence of tteprlndpal director of the rail , way , addressed a few energetic words to them , and whether from their fear or their good sense , these men so loud in their demands but a few moments before , agreed to leave in tha same train . A seoond detach . tteat left oa the foUowIagr day . Th 8 details of that adventurous exptditien are wt | l known . The Belgians procured arms on their way as soon as they had left file behind them . The muskets in their peatesston bad beea almost all captured by them , and were des . bned to arm the National Guards of the frontier . On the evening of the 28 th of Haroa , a column about 1 , 100 stroig , took the direoaon of Menin , pnrpodna : to enter Belgium by Conrbecqae ; bat whether from unforeseen difasulUe * , treasoo , or fatality ,

      they retraced their steps lathe direction of Mousoron , a passage well defended by the royalUt troops . In open daylight they entered and searohtd the oustom . hause , which waa deserted ; and they had the audadty to enter the Belgian territory , when a regiment of infantry , of light uragoons , -and artillery , suddenly appeared and oppased them . A brfik fire waa kept op on both aide * for mere tnsa an hoar , although ( ha brave workmen , Uolatea , were eompellid to separate and fight as sharp , shooters , to avoid the ravages of the grape shot . They regained the French territory , leaving about a dczen of the enemy dead , and about as many of their own party on the field , with about five . and . twtnty wounded on both sides . They had in fact fallen loto a regular snare . Pesse accases B ervaeq . O'SbIUoii * and

However this m » y Be , ¦ the remnant of this melandsoly expedition returned to faris in a mnch more pitiable plight than they lift it . They were lodged for a few days in the ' Caserne des Gres , ' where rations were allowed them . Thus ended thisaffrfir , the responsibility of which still hangs over other heads then those of the real instigators .

      Here we concede our extracts from the first volume .-. . ¦ ¦ ... .. ¦¦ . -. The second volume sketches the history of the Revolution from the 16 : fa of April , to the 29 th of August . ; , . . '¦' ¦ ' The commencement of the plots of the re-actbnists , and the counter-efforts of the democratic clubs , excited considerable agitation early in April . This state of things led ' te an interview between

This excitement of the piblio mind was a can * tianal source dfiahxlety to the men of the Hotel de VUie . .. . - ,. ; ¦ I , with others , beheld with' sorrow this complicated and dangerous state of things .

      I bad a conversation on tae ' susject with M . Lamar-( ine , who came to see me ; Hetxpresied to me his f « ar » of tn « 'iatentioni of the people . I told him they would alwais be fonnd miiuanlfflqus , prorided the pro * mbeaef PeVraarywero ^ kept ; and that , with the assist anoe of myfrlendf , I hoped to prevent them from resorting to false ' and precipitate mcasurss .

      There are few practical men who have made a serious stdc ' y of the social questions sow msoted concerning the working classes . , The majority of new political and soeial problems are often d ^ Kuued . by the . wotkmea , with a power of reasoning which' would sit times bring bur statesmen to a stand-still .

      We shall conclude our extracts for this week with the following account of the popular manifesta tion on

      , THE miXEKIH or HIT , The demonstration , which numbered one hundred and fifty thoaBand dHseni , on arriving at the Pont de la Concorde , tdttxA Use paaaege , whloU wa » kept by a de tachmtnt of the National Gatrd . Th « enthutlasm which this immense column received all along Its pis . sage , —a burning inn , the abstinence from , fooa since eight in the morning , the electric prlnolple which clrcn . lates ia all great masses the , patriotic shouts , —all tended to Increase the ' general excitement , when , about two o ' clock , the advanoed ranks presented themselves at the gates of the palace of the Assembl y . They had not , however , any premaaitaud plan ef action . There were mow than one hundred different institutes in the procession , each with its own banner and own leaden ,

      who would aot according to their own view of the osie , and according to . circumstances ; they were howevir , so far agreed that they wished to impart a democratic impnlie to the Chamber ,, which had already betrayed its reactionary tendencies . At fiwti not more thaa one hundred men entered the courtyard , to present thn petition , bat the nuoetouB eorpofatlohi , collected together at the othir extremity of the column , endeavoured to force their way to the Chamber , or at least to approach ' it as near as possible . ThU earned a presiure of the living mass , which gradually swelled onwards to the principal entrance . The only way to hare stopped this living sea of human beings would have been to have prevented them from crossing the bridge , by plaolng a sufficient force there . The ep » C 9 before the Ho « e of

      Assembly would then have remained dear , the few guards on duty at the entrance kept their footing as long as possible ; bat the progressive oruth became so graat that the iron railings gave way , and the ooutt-yard was Immediately inundated by the crowd . Another olrcum . stance admitted five [ hundred at one rush . One of the soldiers oa duty in the court-yard having by accident let his musket fall , it went off , This incident SRUJed a scene of indescribable uproar , aad cries were uttered , 1 They are assassinating our brethren ! ' which cry was transferred from mouth to mouth , from phalanx to phalanx , aifar as the Place de la Cjncorde . ¦ The whole crowd now precipitated . Itself towards the . doors of tbe pslstfe , and many of them were literally guffdoated . It was soon known that the shot fired was the remit ef

      THE RATIONAL MODE OF PER . MANEJiTLY AND PEACEABLY ADJUSTING THE PRESENT DISORDERED STATE OP EUROPE . ., ( Concludedfrom our last . ) Law 4 . " All children from their birth shall be under the especial care of the township in wUchth ' ey are born ; but the parents shall have free access to them at all times . " ' !

      KBA 80 N 8 FOR THIS UW . : There are many important causes to render this law necessary . ' 1 st . The affections of parents for their own children are too strong for their judgments ever to do justice to themselyes , their children , or the public / in thei education of ; their own children , even , private . famjftes possessed the machinery , which they ' never'do , to well manufacture character from birtii : ¦! " ' 2 nd . Children in small numbers can never be placed within $ e proper niachinjery , to well form their physical , mental , moral , aiid practical characters , and make them full formed men and women . ;¦• • ¦ ; ' ; .

      ara . Thetowriehi p , as the general parental authority over all , has a much wider and deeper interest in . the formation of the character of each child , than its immediate physical parents ; for the well-being , peace , and happiness of the township , and its ' federative townships ; extending to the widest circle , depend upon the character formed for each member of each township . . 4 th . A superior rational character can never be formed by one or two , prafew being trained in a confined place and in private .

      To form a superior and useful character in man or woman , suitable ' machinery must be devised ; and every age will require / at stated intervals , a change of ^ his machinery , to suit the growth of the physical and mental powers , as well as the propensities and other qualities ofhumanity . Although the children will not be trained and educated by their parents , as in the present state of society , Which unfits them for members of a pure democracy , yet . the parents will have free access to them at all timesand

      , will see them trained and educated tbbecbme , in disposition , habits , manners , temper ,. and judgment , so superior to that which any famil y formation of character could give ; that there would ariseafeelinsrand consideration between the parents and children very superior to the frequently silly ' affection and desire for inju ^ rious partial privileges , on both sidesi' which are now so common throughout all classes . The present family training well prepares the children to l ; ake advantagejjf all put of their immediate family circle . But there is no fear

      so unfounded , as the writer experienced during ; thirty years' practice upon a large ¦ scale , as that this new and superior formation of character will weaken the best affections between parents and children . And certain it is , that a pure democratic character can never be given b y farhily-trainiDg . Law J 5 .. « All , the 1 children in ' the township shall be trained and educated together , as the children of the : same family ¦ ' and shall be early taught to comprehend the laws of God , and thus learn to know themselves—decidedly the most important of all knowledge .

      . ' REASONS'POR THIS LAW ; : To form superior men and women , they must be trained from tjieir birth alike , without partialities of any kind , and without the desire of being better treated than any others of the same age , or to have anything which all the others have not . . \ ; . " . !; , 'Att the children ^ of thei township being trained aiid educated together , proper machinery for tbe formation of character may be created upon the scale beet ' adapted to Eecure -the qualities of mind and body most beneficial for the individuals , for the townships ^ aiid for the circle of townshi ps ; to their widest extent .

      ' . ; But that whipli 'will bp ' sbbn discovered to be the most essential element iti the formation of character , is to enable children at an early age to "kno , w therhselves , " and to comprehend what ^ human nature isJ ; When they shall be taught to understand the causes of their fprmation , of their feelings , of . their opinions , aiid of their conduct , they will then " know themselves , " and what humanity is , through a knowledge of the unchanging , ' laws of God . By children being enabled to ascertain this kaowledge for themselves , through an accurate

      investigation of the facts on ' which the know , ledge is based , their minds will be made rational , ^ hich no minds ' have ever yet been ; the necessary consequences of which" will be , that all anger , ill-will , envy , jealousy , and eTery repulsive feeling between themselves , and for the human race ; will die a natural death ; and instead of these evils to man , a' new spirit of knowledge , sound judgment , charity , and kindness , will be made to pervade 1 & « mind and direct the conduct of every one . The laws of man have created every kindof repulsive and irrational feeling from man to man : the laws

      of God will change these for feelings the most attractive and rational , The laws of mair create crime , and then punish it ; in the individual , whose character they have previously formed to commit the ' crime . Thelaws of Gbdpr eyeht crime , and render individual punishment unnecessary , and individual reward urijust . The laws of Godearly'iHstilled into the mind i and tuHy : « Qder 8 tood will inake'the individual a rational being ; aad then , without trouble or expense to society , he will always feel , think , and act rationally ; and thus all the cumbrous machinery and expensive paraphernalias now most

      ineffectually applied to prevent crime' by punishment ; will be superseded . ' Every punishment of an individual b y society is a direct < Mme against , the laws of God ; and if there were any justice in punishment , the ¦ society , rather than the individual , ought to suffer ; for society has the power to form the character of the individual , but the individual has not the means to form the qualities of society . Law 6 . " Every individual shall be encouraged to express his feelings and conviction ? , as by the laws of God he is compelled to have them , and thus to speak the truth only on all occasions .

      ff amo = ^ S are the ever demoralising laws of man . There are equally certain aad fixed causes which can alone ever produce truth , and good and kiad conduct in all . Until the genuine language of truth shall become alone the language of mankind , it will be moat irrational to expect an open , henest character to be formed , or any real knowledge of humanity attained , while exhibited under the veil of falsehood , in all men and women , as they are now formed by and placed in society .. - .: The world , created by the laws of men , has ever been and now is a compound of falsehood : and

      consequent deception ; and is governed , in consequence , alone by force and fraud ; the strong ever deceiving , or forcibly oppressing the weak . This state of gross irrationality must continue until the authorities ' which influence the destinies of nations can be convinced of the miseries generated by falsehood and de-. ception ; and of the happiness which will arise to all from the , language of truth ; and the conduct of open , straightforward honesty . , Law" 1 . "Both sexes shall have equal education , rights , privileges , and personal liberty ; . their marriages will arise from the general sympathies of their nature , uninfluenced by any artificial distinctions . "

      REASONS FOR THIS LAW . The entirely new practical arrangement of society , created by the exchange of men ' for God ' s laws on the one hand , and by the illimi . table progress of science , increasing so enormouslythe power , of producing wealth with ease and pleasure , on the other , will render an entire change also necessary in the condition of women , and at oace make it the . pej-mai nent interest of both sexes ,, that a just and full equality should be now prepared , that the happiness of both may be largely increased , and be continually progressive . In the new constitution , based on the laws of God , this change is provided for under new arrangements , devised to remove the causes of differences in

      marriage , which , under the existing system , are innumerable ; scarcely any will remainnone , indeed , that can destroy confidence and friendship between the parties , should it be beyond their power to retain their feelings of love . . Under the ignorant laws of men , no arrangements have" been made by any lawgiver in any ; code extant to unite the sexes without producing more crime and misery than virtue and happiness ; nor can any arrangements be made Under those laws which so unite them

      At this day the hidden vice and misery , falsel hood and deception , created solely by the errors proceeding from men ' s laws , are most appalling ; and if the sufferings thereb y produced , especially to the finest formed in body and mind of the female sex , were not thus hidden , and were made public , they could not be longer permitted if it were known that they are necessary results of false and most injurious legislation , emanating from the grossly mistaken first principles on which the present system of Bociety over the world is alone based and supported .

      In apure democracy , there will be ho motive to sexual crime , and soon sexual disease will fee eradicated from society . Marriages will be formed , as the laws of God unequivocally direct , at a proper period of life , under such arrangements as will be themostlikely to . prevent ill-assorted unions and to insure . thegreatest permanency of the first natural affections between the parties . As a constitution of pure democracy will insure to all equal education , occupation , and condition through life , according : to age and capacity , the field of choice for the parties will be greatly enlarged , and the real character of

      every one in the townships will be accuratel y known from birth , through every stage of life , and as tlie language of the townships will be alone the language of truth , there will be no deception before marriages ^ to destroy mutual confidence , as so generally occurs under the present ; system , after marriage . The law of wod is , that humanity is compelled to like or love that which is agreeable or lovely to the peculiar combination of qualities given by God to each individual at birth , and as cultivated by society , and to dislike or loathe those qualities which are made to be disagreeable or hateful to the instincts or natural feelings of the same individual .

      Any Arrangements of ignorant men which contravene this universal arid unchanging law of God , are sure to produce physical and mental . disease , crime , and misery , . to a fearful extent . And , . whatever ignorance may say to the contrary , thelaws of men have , in every country , in all ages * opposed this lawof nature which changes not ; and , by such irrational opposition to the laws of God , have . created and forced upon ( the human race . more disap . peintment to natural innocent . good . feelings , loathsome

      more afflicting diseases , more uiipatural crimes , more murders , more disordered imaginations , and , more insanity , ¦ than the human mind is capable of fully ., apprehending or supposing to be possible ,, so . cautiousl y are these dreadful evils , veiled ,: from public disclosure . The remed y for t ^ ese diseases of body and mind , is , to abandon the . laws of men on this subject , to stay their endless practical ; evils-evils often producing * to the female sex especially , more agonising mental suffering than their nature can endure ; so that they are compelled to terminate them by suicide .

      Who can estimate , who can compress within the limits of the ,: most comprehensive powers of his imagination , the extent of the excruciating suffering experienced at . this moment , from these ignorant sexual Jaws of man . attempting to contravene the laws of God ? Those who , through . their knowledge of the anatomy of thehuman frame and their professional duties , are necessarily made acquainted with a-small part only , of these 6 cpurge 3 of deceived humanity , could . a tale unfold—were they but placed under circumstances , that would permit them to disclose their secret

      , knowled ge—that would appal the stoutest hearts , and make them wonder that humanity has so long endured the irrationality of appearing to be blind to . this great insanity , now prevalent throughput the world , but carried to all manner of excesses in . large towns ,, and especially in _ . the : most , populous cities . Let the inexperienced inquire of the police authorities in London , and other large cities , and of those who have charge of lunatic asylums : and , if

      not deterred from speaking out , these persons can well paint the desolation madeof the finest feelings , faculties , and powers of humanity , by the yet . juntaught authorities .. iof the ! world blindly forcing the most unjust andwuel laws of men to govern human destinies , instead of the all-wise , good , and most merciful laws of God or nature ; thus making men to be less rational , and less capable of wisely directing their natural instincts than all other , animals * , who obey no priesthood , but the laws of theifc Creator , ¦• ¦ ; . . ••¦• : ' : , RobeutOwbNi London , December 1848 .
