They refrain, however, from enlarging on this subject; and only respectfully request, that Parents and Teachers will, give that preference which they may feel to be doe, to the sanc tions of a real name : or, at least, that they will examine and compare, before they decide.

As the reign of the Censors is drawing to a close, the Journalists are preparing to take their revenge on the deposed despots. One Editor is going to publish all the rejected Articles, among which are several official documents : another is going to hold up. to public scorn their partiality and injustice ; and a third is going to prove them enemies of the Chirter and the Bourbons ! At every office there is a sackful of the destructive labours of these literary Atropos; and out of such a depot, no doubt, very curious instances of absurdity and contradiction may be drawn. The manner in which they sometimes exercised their power would appear almost incredible. They allowed the annunciation of no Ay book to- appear, of the contents of which they disapproved. They curtailed extracts from foreign Papers, and mutilated stateH meets of foreign intelligence. Even slight paragraphs, which had no reference to politics, were curtailed 01'. their most innocent expressions. One of the Papers, for instance, placed the following sentence under the scissors of the Censor :—"The young Duke de Char-1 tees has resumed his studies at the College of his an cestor Henry IV." and it came out without the words " his ancestor," as if that arbitrary Gentleman was resolved to alter the descent of the young Prince. As it may be of some interest to the English Pub lic to know a little of the characters and history of men who have exercised such powers as those en trusted to the Censors, I shall state a tew facts re karding-the-most notorious of them, extracted prin cipally from a small pamphlet entitled the Biography of the Royal Censors. It is a striking circumstance, though not difficult of explanation, that they are nearly all apostates, or weathercocks—that they have Dearly all been the most abject creatures of Bona parte, and are now the most servile flatterers of the restored dynasty. The Abbe d'Andrezzel, one of them, who is now a great enemy of philosophers and revolutions, is the translator of Mr. Fox's History of I the Stuart:, out of which, during the time of Bona parte, a Censorship different from the present struck out some prominent passages. M. Baudus, another, was at first a warm partisan of the Revolution. He then turned against it, and emigrated : he returned to France under the Consu late, and afterwards became tutor to the son of Murat. —He is now a furious Royalist, and having for his department the surveillance of foreign intelligence, he took care that the Public should know as little as possible about the late Revolutions in Italy and Greece. The muse of M. Briffaut, a third of the Royal Censors, was indefatigable. in eulogising the Government of Bonapatte. He wrote on the marriage of Napoleon, he sung the birth of the King of Rome, and he was on other occasions an equally obsequious flatterer of the late Emperor. He is now a Royal Censor; and wises to apply the scissors wherever he sees the name of his former idol. M. Alisson de Chazet is likewise a girouette, and a writer for the Stage. He also was inspired with sweet strains on the marriage of Napo. leon and the birth of his son, and is said to be a man of merit. Of the Abbe Chcrval, M. d'Aviigny, who is one of the Dramatic Censors, of Messrs. d'Er bigny, the Secretary Hubert, and M. la Chaize, the Censor of the Journals, little is linown„ M. C. Lacretelle, the author of the Liberal History of the Revo/ution, was a Censor under Bonaparte, is a Censor under the Bourbons, and would be a Censor under any dynasty., as long as the Censorship.ivas a profitable profession. The following is an account of the productioni of M. Yiellard, one of the most versatile of the body t In 1810 he sang the return of Astrza ; on the 21st , of January last year, the Tomb of Louis XVI.; in 1810, he made songs in Celebration of the 14th and. 15th of August; in 1816, his muse was put in re quisition to celebrate the marriage of the Dbke de Berri. The biographical sketch of him adds—" He has changed—he changes—and he will change."— Such are the persons to whom the direction of the' mind of France has been entrusted. They have been particularly busy since the change of Ninistry,. as p you will see by the lacuna: in the Papers. In the time of Bonaparte, who despotically ruled the nation by influencing public opinion through the Journals; the tyranny of the Press was greater and more direct, but not so irksome and unreasonable as it has °Plate; been. If he inflicted penalties, he likewise rewarded talents. The Duke of Rovigo had a monthly levetr , for the Journalists, and his manner of treating them ' was sometimes arbitrary, and sometime* ludicrous. A short time before the entry of the Allies into Paris, , at one of these levees, he thus addressed themu— • Messieurs, VOW des paresserex--Saere, si sous ne remoste; pas Cerprit pablique let Cossaes seront a Paris avast six sensasnes. The prophecy was fulfilled; public spirit could never be excited by such Means, and the COssats were in Paris. DISTRESS. A - . SECOND MEETING IN IMMIX Wednesday morning, in conformity with public advertisement, a highly respectable and nemeraus Meeting of the Nobility, Clergy, and other owners and occupiers of land of the Rapes of Lewes and Pa vensey, 'ambled st the Star Inn, Lewes, and ad journed from thence to the County Hsll, tetake into consideration the distressasl state of 4gricaltureo-- The rush on entering was very great; indeed, the Meeting was much more numerous than was ever witnessed in the Rail, excepting Att the occasion of a strongly contested Election. The business of the day commenced by Davta GILIIZAT. Esq. being called to the Chair,. immedi ately after which, EWAN LAW Esq. addressed a question to the Chai rma n, f or t h e purpose of learn ing what signatures appeared' o the advertisement by which the Meeting had been convened. The CHAILWAIt informed Mr. Law that no signa ture was attached. Mr. BLACAWAIt said, that if he had not been anti cipated by Mr. Law, he would have asked the same question. He said hat he was present at a Meeting at which the Lord Lieutenant of the County pre sided, where he bad moved an Amendment How ever it might be his (Mr. Blackman s) misfortune to differ from that Nobleman, he thought it due to his Lordship, whose nobleness of character conferred a lustre upon the rank to which he belonged, that no deviation should be made from the terms of the no tice which was then agreed upon. It was also due to the Gentlemen who bad supported that Amend ment, that be should call for this explanation, as it was his own duty to be present this day, to explain the nature of the Amendment white he had made on the former occasion. Admiral MARKHAM thought it would be improper . .in him not to state what he happened to know of the advertisement in question. When call.d upon by Mr. Eliman. and his friend to attend at a Public Meeting of this description, he had said that he should have no objection to do so, and render what assistance be could. conceiving the distress which now prevailed to be of such a nature as to require some notice to be taken of it. The Meeting must be called by some one; but how it bad been called he really did not know, nor uas he aware of what had passed at the former Meeting. Mr. LAW observed, that he had asked the question from curiosity alone, and that.he should be sorry if it had the effect of breaking up the Meeting. He thought there could be nu impropriety in now pro ceeding to the business of the day. The CHAIRMAN having moved to that effect, Mr. PARTINOTON rose, and said that he had been requested by several Gentlemen to follow up the no• tice by moving a Petition to the House of Commons, stating the distress under which Agriculture laboured. He could have wished that the task had fallen into other:and abler hands—to those who are po - ssessrd of larger landed property. From the task which had been set him, however, he certainly would not shrink. He would recommend that the Petition should be confined to a statement of distress, and a request to Parliament to afford relief. The causes of distress were deep and many ; .some of them had gone by, but the-effect still remained. Mr.Partiligton con cluded by moving the following Petition to Parlia. meat, to be adopted by the Meeting : Tint MUMMY PUTITIOS "C lilt COMM owNERS AND ocetn o taas Of LAND In =WILT AND PIVENSIT ItAT6S, IN THU COUNTY or sos. WROSS PUINUILANZ strascanien, " Sheweth—That your Petitioners have long suffered in their interests in all Agricultural concerns • that this dirtress was a c t forth in their Petition 4uring the las t Session of Parliament to your Honourable House, and appears to have been fully proved before a Committee appointed to take into consideration the state of Agriculture of the United Kingdom; but that although a Report was made by your Committee on this occasion, allow ing the distress of your Petitioners, and admitting their claim to redress, that hitherto no relief had been afforded them, and that , : their distress, instead of having been allevt.,ttd, has since alarm ingly increased, not only in a most ruitiou. degree to themselves as Owners and Occupiers of Land, but also in a fearful manner to the Labouring Classes, many of vaz. have been thereby thrown out of work, and are in a deplorably distressed condition. . 1 Your Petitioners do, therefore, now most humbly pray that your Honourable House will, at the earliest opportunity, take into your consideration the distressed state of your Petitioners, and that of the Agriculture of the Kingdom in general, and adopt such measures for its relief as may tend to rescue it from the pending ruin, and restore this great branch of the resource► of the country to that si..te of vigour which may again make it bvatlicial to the community a: large. " And your Petitioners, &c." _ ' The Earl of CHICIIKSMN, in . rising to second the above motion, said that it might appear that he ' should be one of the last persons to come forward for such a purpose, because it was well known that he did not expect aay good tesult fioru Petitio..s of this sort. He would repeat, that he would not have attended this day, but that it might have seemed to argue on hii part inattention to the Agricultural in. terests. He could not encourage hope, but lie was very willing to second the Petition. Mr. BLACKMAN said he perfectly agreed with the Noble Lord, that no good would result trom the Peti tion; but whether or not any good would toltow The Meeting, 'Would depend on the character which it should astume. The cry constantly was, " A fair 'remunerating price:" and to those who said, " Rents must be reduced," the reply was, " Rents are no thing—let us bury this doCtrine." Is it kassible there can ever be a state of things in which coin at any price is to be paid in any medium that the rents shall be nothing? But it is e:rti!y cxilained. Let us take an acre of good land at Bish..pstone, growing four quarters of wheat per acre, anti I.:30 per load, the produce will be £24. Ltus t akeariod er acre at Bucksted, growing two quarters and a half, the pro duce will be M. Now, as it is always admitted that the expense of cultivating poor land is equal to cultivating rich, after the rent of the poor land is paid, there will be ('9 loft to pay the rent of the rich lawn it was during this state of things th at t h e cr y r6ose, " heists are nothing. " It was natur al ei.cragh r the iiumer'to fall into this, but the only real mode lot doing this was thi reduction of rents, 'rates, tythes, 1. q l 1 Ii! i Tbis day was published, Pour Vols.
