BLI.LART. brnly : ;llt up a Report, in the name of the C”itral Commissi,m, which was appointed to exa mine the Law Project on the detentioa of those ac cused of attacks upon the safety of the King and the State : " Grimm:au—l have the honour to subMit to you the opinion of your Commission. 44 Among the Romans, when the spirit of faction threatened the safety of th e State, a simple formula Was pronounced, and iustantly the power of the con suls had no limits. 44 In a country adjoining our own, and which po litical writers have characterized as the classical land of liberty, very often, without even the appearance of internal disturbances, and merely because a foreign war gave occasion to suppose that the enemy would practise secret manceuvres to call domestic traitors and agitators to his assistance, the law is suspended which declares that no individual shall be detained but in virtue of forms merely judiciary. " The social pact of that nation does not al ways admit of this measure. But the great motive of public safety ought to be always on the side of the social pact, to defend its esistence against popular commotions. a , The Legislators of that nation thought, with wis dom, that words are nothing when compared to acts: in order to have liberty they must begin by having civil society, and that madmen only can amuse them selves with discussing vain sophisms to know if they have any right to defend themselves, when their ene mies are plotting. is Our Charter has been more attentive than the public law of the country: which we have men tioned. In itself it has founded its means of defence and of safety. 46 While a Legislature, full of respect for indivi dual l.betty. kis established delicate forms for pro tecting every cititen from arb:trary power, and has confided for a limited time to judicial bodies alone the ri . .;irit of disposing of his person; the 4. : ‘!: Article of t! is grand contract, utvotheless, leaves to the law the indifinite tight of regulating every thing con nected with individual liberty. 66 It will require a law to procure the slightest di minution. Nowhere does our law prohibit the law from extending in this respect, its power and fore. sight, as far as the safety of the State may require. It is in order to conform to these scruples, so legiti- ' mate of the charter, that the law now before you has been drawn up. 44 At present, and during the actual state of le gislation, several administrative functionaries and others, are charged with what is called the Judiciary Police. 66 They have the right, or rather it is their duty to seize and search for those accused of any descrip tion of crime ; solely after a lapse of time not rigo rously determined by the law, and which was given them to enable them to collect all possible evidence as to the act alleged, they are obliged to carry the accused before the tribunals, which shall instantly try them, and instantly condemn or set them at liberty. 46 It is this preliminary delay, and which may be called the delay allowed for finding proofs, which the project of the law extends indefinitely in the case of crimes against the State. 64 The object of this proposition is therefore on the one hand a rapid and anticipated indictment, when the nature of the sedition might be very hurtful to the State, and when 4 traitor might escape for want of time to bring convicting proofs against him. i! On the other hand, there may he a traitor so arlful as to elude successfully a judiciary conviction, when he will be completely caught by an universal and humane conviction. Ought we to set at liberty that dangerous man, who will become more so by the impunity :hewn to his first crimes ? 6 , Men who do not allow themselves-to be abused by mere terms, must acknowledge, that, in certain cir curnsrances,: discretionary power must be given to the Governinnt, und4 the penalty of seeing society dissolved. "6 Do these circumstances exist ? This is the only and the true questiori. Look around 4on, listen, judge for yourselves, and be not afraid of speaking out. The aceorpplices of the gtnity thequelves can alone deny the 'existence . of circumitances.. 66 Nevdr wi:* Rome or any other State in a aims ' tion in which'4 was more legitimate andtiore urgent to prououncithc formula — ' Caved* Conntla i ee quid darinteati caftiat.'—this point is evident, • • nay, it is too much so. 'The CoMmittee has examined the law saint scrupulonsly. It has discovered that the resp‘.,ct fur liberty was sagely combined with the dteemiry precautions required by Prudence: Na iubliortuthority which did not possess the right be;' fore, h invested wid) any new power to seise the accused. •6 The Officer of Police is not called upon; as he is at present, to send the accused before thstribunals fs soon as the time has elapsed for collecting evidence. •6 He is bound to give notice in twenty.four hours to the Prefect of the Department who can repair the injustice, if an injustice has been committed ; and that in far less time than the tribunals themselves could formerly give redress. " This is not all. The officer of Police is also obliged to make known the detention in the sans,: space of twenty-fnur hours to the public Ministry and this association rat the administrative power with the judicial authoriLy, this; association unknown to other nations,"gunrantces to the accti , x,l, who might perhaps be the victim of an error, the generous pro. tection of the Magistrates. 4 , Finally, the Project of the I,:ttv is temporary — the effect will ccase of itself, if it is not r..newed by legislative authority. " Thus the Commission has seen nothing in the Project but a moderate meeting, the !Holt of which is to call upon every citizen to fulfil the obligation imposed upon all, to surrender their individual right to the general interest. " Some opinions have been stated in favour of cer. taro amendments; but the majority of the Commis- Ilion has not thought them important enough to atone for the loss of time in mentioninA them. " A scruple has arisen on the importance of de termining the duration of delay in delivering the accused to the tribunals. It has been insisted that the Minister shall be bound to decide in a month—in failure of which the prisoner shail be set at liberty, but the Commission was of opid.on that such details would be superfluous or illusory. u It must not be forgotten ' t hat the whole law is a momentary sacrifice fur salety of the country, and the preservation of the public :e•ace. if Men will not be wanting to I;roan, hypocriti cally, on the wrong which is done to public liberty, and plunge themselves into met:whys:cal alritt:lctions in cyder to calumniate a measure indispensible in the leyes of every enlightened mind. " What shall we say to these declaimers ? Torn your eyes to them only. You may be assured bet ow ;sand that you will not find among them any true friend to the Charter. We shall find among them, on the contrary, men who have accepted, by rote, and as a matter of course, or seconded with violence, the sanguinary despotism which has so long usurped all the rights of Frenchmen. Is it, therefore, under a Government (which it. would be the most atrocious injustice to reproach with excess in its mea sures) that we ought to manifest opposition ? But the people are not to be deceived 5y those false alarmists. They only remind us of our misfortunes for the purpose of aggravating them. They only speak so loudly of liberty in order to silence her voice ; and it is only to suffocate her if they feign a wish is embrace her. 41 But there is a method of counteracting their plots, and that is by the adoption of the law as it has been presented to you, and which the Cemmission has now the honour to recommend." The Report was ordered to be rinted and distri buted—the debate thereon to take p1a...1 on Monday.
