The Proprietors of the daily Papers of Paris have joined in presenting to the to• Chambers some ob. servslions on the three Projects of Laos relative t• the Liberty of the Press. They require, among ether matters, that the penalties prescribed against simile language should not emceed in their maximum the minimums of petiblties denounced against defa mation—that they should net be compelled to name two Proprietors for one Paper—and that the emeeet proposed for the security should be reduced.

S.--The Rhenish Papers having reproached the Prussian Government with doing so little in the liquidetion and distribution of the b 4 millions of francs, which Franc. has to pay on ac. snort of the private claims of Prussian subjects, the Stale Gioults has defended cur Government. " The Commission of Arbitratirn sitting herr," says this ar-tfle, " has decided in five mouths above a hon. c!red cases more than that at Paris did in two years. Of 34,153,51"..41 francs, respecting which the mini nalions have been oe foot since November last, .10,590,332 francs are already decided upon. It is true, that the actual payment so the claimants has been in same instance delayed, by unavoidable cir comities:es: for instances, by the necessary comma nications between various persons living at great (balance, from each other, but no complaint has hitherto been made; sod it may be asserted positively that the whole stair will be terminated In the coarse of this year." /Humus, Arm 3.—The inhabitants oaf Norm berg have &kernel an Address to the Chamber of Dimities, complaining of the decline of their mane. factures and trade; in which they state, that in former years, Nuremberg *sported to the amount of above eight millions, bet that now the trade has de clined so much, that the 'sports can hardly be esti. mated at If million ; that many manufactories, which employed 160 workmen, can new scarcely find employment for 60 or SO mss; and that the manufacturers most bob cease to work entirely, Bo hm free importation and exportation is allowed. The Address further ergeests,that his Majesty will use his indigence in the Diet to obtain this freedom of coatherace. LONDON: VllbAlf. APtilL 23, 1819. The moment is fast approschlee whew sonseshiwg like an ectsircisseetent most take plate with regard to the mysterious proceedings between the &NM sod the Government. We do not odd the Notion as a party is the strongmen', Otiose,* its credit sod interest are both concerned, as to the manner in which the e litigious! and highly.iejorioas later corms shall be done away. W. have always asserted oar Readers that nothieg good could possibly arise 'from so corrupt as alliance. The °lied with the most extravagast, but eloquent Minister, in his first overtures to the Batik, was self-gratiicatine end self.pvide. He was bent on • war with Freon., to stop this iodise of hen opinions, sad of sentiments favosrable• to liberty : for be woo an Allstate*. in tho worst sense of the word. This he could not effect without the aid of the Bank, In a me wlikh by tight forfeited their Charter; bat which this same Mr. PITT promised them should be safe, ■nd that they should be rewarded " with large profits :" besides which be urged that the more the Nation expended in the war, the greater would be their per tentage, for all the money would go through their hoods. That was the corrupt proposal, sad this the base temptation. Now, although the causes of the present dilemma end mischief will sever he laid fully open to the Public by the parties, so clearly am so (rely as the ST/TASMAN has esposed t►em, yet the effects cannot be looser concealed. All the private fortenes of the Governor, Directors, sod even Proprietors at large, If throws together into the National Treater', ccald not remunerate the Public for what it has coffered through ibis iniquitous pro ceeding for so many years. Besides, millions sod millions who have died since the fatal 47th of Janu ary, 1797, are wholly out of the teeth of reparation ; set to mention the myriads who have been killed by a war, fed and protracted by the sinister sod wicked intercourse between en amities, Compitny of Mer chants, sod • vengeful and inexperienced young Mi. 'lister. /le is gone to his account, sad they, it is hoped, are coming to their.. A Ministerial Paper, whose title it is disgusting to mention, from its fol. some and nauseating approval of the moot arbitrary and unjust measures of a despised mod incapable Ad ministration ; whose conductor has been a prominent particepr a radars of the widely-spend miseries we bate had, and are going to have more mom to de plore, and which is sometimes obliged to utter a semblance of the troth when falsehood will no longer avail, says, in reference to the Bank Committees— " Nest Monday is the earliest day open which the Committee con make its Report ; bet it is by no means certain it will be ready to d.. so on that day. With respect to the Committee of the Lords, we have reason to believe they have not made so mach pro. press as the Committee 6.f the Commons. We ender stand, they have not yet finished the examination of evidence, and, consequent , cannot loive determined upon any specific tri ummeodation to Parliaantot."— his is, indeed, keeping back the evil day:—but toms it must, sod a dier afro will it linty be in the final settling. The &repent count was opened by a war against the French by Mr. PITS (who, like Lis father, hand the very name of a Frenchman!), end the balance sheet mill terminate with a quarrel between Mr. V ANSITTMIT and the Bank Directors. A divorce most take place, and of necessity a rupture will ac company it. Tile CIIINCLLLOR of the EXCHEQUER will want ell the money that the nation can yield him, as a seperilus •ter mere esisteen, to make his ac count good, for he durst not retrench but with con. sent to mare. If he chants the old air of " Sere a Penny." it will be like the song of the swan, alter ed with his dying breeds. A contemporary Journal, whose Inferential se these topics is to be relied ena, strengthens oar *pi nioe on this head by saying, that the Bank Commit tees of both lions= bad separated before the holi days, on is understanding that the Chanson -•ere to prepare a Report Needed on Resolutions that Co. vernment shoeld in this year pay throe millions, and in the neat Ilse millions of debt dee to the Bank; in which account the tatter should pay in specie, on the lit of Janney nest, et a certain rate (Els. per ounce for standard gold), end t►at this rate should be gradually lowered in the nest two years to the Mint price of 77,. The Chronicle then se)s," Ibis speculation went on ell well enegh till the substance of the intended Report tea tom =imitated to the Bank, who, it is said, on the meet ing of the Committee of the Ilosse of Commons yester• day, gave them to understand that the Directors would ciller the most determined resistance and opposition to any measures founded epee it. Their answer is, and possibly with some reason, to Govern• ment—pay es what you ewe; leave us to the In dependent management of oer own again ; and the time may neither be so far distant, net the diScisities so great to the ►exemption of cash payments, as are taticipeted.

Noi:y India 144../do 23 23 p. lotog Ann. 19 11.14 seisequer Urn. b p. now am may new do is very encertain ; and, in the mean time, the difficulty will create in the public mind much additional want of cnefidence and anxiety.— Mr. VANSITTART will have enoogh on his hands, end the speculators in 'spitted leans may, without great caution, have to repay out of their engagements of this year, seine part of the enormous gains which they have reaped under the administration of the present CUANCELLOK of the Excumtuaa." The man 'eternal then apostrophises naturally h in the following words:—" With a falling Revenue, the necessity of still further restricting t►e paper currency, and greater commercial sad maim factoring distress than has ever been *embraced, the prospect is, Indeed, not very cheering for the ntently." The 'deem of the Palms we are glad to see cr eepy so much of the attention of the French lugisla• tors. If tbe principle of it be inverted in their hearts, it will ►e of little conseqoence whether every contingency which may porsibly occur should be provid►d for or guarded against. Like our Coo stitution, which is me where in be found, never theless is well understood. Would it were as holiest ly practised spot. !!! It gives us, however, per. dealer ;Arrester* ro eb.erve how guardedly the phi losophic pe►t •f the Chamber of Deputies, keep the topic clear of religion. " Church and Stele" has ever been the cry of bigots, or besotted, or IT not of that description, of lintel and cot rapt men, to work their base purposes. What • reformation is here witnessed in a nation such as France was half a century ago. To beer the Kt I.IMR of the Srah. (an of cur as high as our Chu ncellor)stand up in the Spoon. and maintain the necessity of keeping these objects separate from each other, cannot fail to evil, the Beefiest sympa thetic felicitations in the breast of every friend to freedom in whatever part of the world he is pieced. —" Religiose (ha observed) associate peaceably with each other ; and what is the nose of this harmony ? It is from the liberty that they enjoy. Bet the mom►nt you impose limits es there, you destroy this !berty ; you become tyrannical, and you do not attain your aim." Such sentiments remind one.? Dr. Fria:rime's me•im, obi libertos, ibi pettier. On this occasion a man is inrolootarily transported to the scene of such an eloquent debate, •here reason is consecrated in the place of bigotry, and would willingly become • Frenchman to partake in t►e enjoyment of law, so admirably laid down. Caltrntw lIUNDR I 138.-it may be • satisfaction to a number of our Heoders to learn, whet this con venience to Minister and Slernbers of Parliament consists of. The acceptance of the office of Steward- , ship of this place (without honour or profit) vacates a seat in Parliament. It is said that Colonel Turr str., Member for Beverley, was deceived by the offer of this appointment. in order to goalify kiln to all his spat to Sir 11. BRIDGMAX. The notion, there. fore, slat this office is attended with profit is quite err s. Indeed it is immediately resigned, so soon as My accepting Member bus disposed of his seat in Parliament. Chiltern is a ridge of risslky hills, a hick crosses the county of Back., a little south of the centre, reaching from Trim in Ilertfordohire, to Henley, in the county of Oafurri. This district be longs to the Crown, and fo► t(. immemorial has given title to the nominal office of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds. Of this office, as well es the moor of East Hundred, in Berko, it is remarkable, shut although frequrently conferred upon Members of Parliament, it is not productive either of honour or emolument; being pasted at the request of any Member of that !loose, merely to enable him to va cate his seat by the acceptance of a nominal office en der the Crown ; and on this account it has fire. fluently been grouted to three or leer different Mem bers in a week. Extract of a letter dated Port.au.Prince, Feb. 13. —" President BOTTA steadily ponies his plea for effecting • reform in the expenditure of the State, end for introdecing greater order in the different departments of the Administration. The Chambers are assembled, bot hitherto no VOW lAIP has been passed. A large force was pet in motion so the 'ld inst. for the purpose of reducing the rebel Cons. and his associates, who have so long annoyed this neighbourhood by their iosursectioasry mnemonic . The army of Rocca is encamped in the mountains, •nd is not to reborn till the rebels are reduced to submission. It is expected that she campsign will last three or four mouths. The amber of GOBIAte. followers does not exceed 400 men; as soon as he heard that en army was about to march agsiost him, he vet fire to the post he had octepied, sod retired with his adherents into the deepest recesses of the forest. A price has been set cm his head, end on those of his principal Chiefs. lam of opinion that white this affair is ended, and the President feels him self in tranquil possession of the interior, he will turn his thoughts towards the North, and sifted the limits of the Republic in that direction." Vesselssre now on their way from England to Gal. way to receive another portion of Col. Evita's corps, ready to embark at that port for Spanish America, and another vessel will be immediately taken up at Galway for a like pelmet*. It appears by the Port Reims of Belfast, that 1100 persons emigrated from thence last lesson to America; and there are, at this time, 15 vessels ready there fo► the purpose of taking eat passengers for the same destiastion, and the some number at London derry.

This orifice, so ilyservetive to liberty In general, has been perrtis.d often. It is only necessity that one University sh o uld oppose Eniancipistien, awd his views are aossr.red. When that Reformation had extended itself ameng es, this klogdoni was divided into two poeiiiss, alternately having moors' to the King (and the Mi ms-ma acts for him now), required him ofiew times to hold the balance lie, seen skein; Lot to make them both enfeeble each other with their owls hands, he made it to iodine sow towards one ride. then towards this other. As litany VIII. was a slave to his ferioes passions, rock puny f eilered themselves that a blind compliance with tee. ping e will would throw him fully into their Ini—eiits, and they implicitly pet themselves into his hands. Si. miler to the foregoing was it with the 11 hip and foetus. —While the People were in succeeding IMMO divid.d into Whip end Tories, aid as soon as these two lac. lions were made irretoocileable by the artifices of she Court, sad could covnterbalanee the forces of each other, Citauhrs 11. pulled off the mask, dino•hred the Parliament; said the station belie!! with aatonish. went • King, who had received so many in ,i s i e fies. lions from the Lrgill•llie poweri, and had been se often obliged to submit, on a sadden, without deer, without army, without money, and silliest furedgis assistance, become absolute master of hi. kingdom ;. letting his opposers feel Oho terrible eff.cis of hit ven geance, sacrificing the most spirited patriots to his rsge,snd governing his subjects with a tyrannical sway. The 11l effect of leaury is visible in the manner by which several of the Editors of the Loodou Jour nals fill their columns by 00000 ricemenis of arrivals and &instates, which might be very well if confined to places of resort for health, as Bath, heighten, Margate, Ranisple, Ilerrowsate, Chet...ham, &c.; limit to read that Sir ions this, arrived at his bogie in Alount.street ; that Lady that, was gone to her Sills at hivevale ; and that the family of the Etas, alter travelling post • thousand miles on the Conti. tient, were now reposing at their Faroe erne at Poppy•place, is disgusting. When the &Creation of a People is called away on subjects of this trivial na ture, we may look in vain for heroic virtues ; men may be found no doubt who will light well and hazard their lives greatly, knowing that If they vise the battle they shall be paid as the Duke of MAaL110101:011 was, with a pr:ocely (unveil ; bat will they do as much to be recompensed with a wreath of laurel or a croon of oak Imes ?—The veil here spoke's of is growing St. ufit. every day, sines from much eadrarpering to be distiogoishert, ate one at lost distinarithes himself slt) nine.; bat as a rank is takers, and as the eiyeis of the Public still continue le admire, every noise is boot in order to an out of au soiformity felt to be inlyirrahir. This is the reason that every one is so sager after riches, and bows down in the temple of fortune. This is a sew species of slavery —a voluntary slavery The ordinary causes of the lain of any State are luxury and poverty. A multitude of suijects. needy by their new Wein., and visaed to he the in s a n eed o f all, vainly agitate themselves to get off tier howl!. sting poverty, and are at last reduced is, wish for at least to be ludifereht about, their country's de: erection. Al tong as Rome was inhabited by poor citizens. honesty, buticiar, towage, sod lays se•e wlllOlO its well.; hat when sacs it was enriched with one spoils of vsnquished nations, these ancient virtues gave way to a wieltiiado of vices. Poverty, 'till than ho noured, fell into contempt; wealth became the ob ject of every ones desiirs, and a few awbitit•ua mew seized the highest offices and held them in spite of the wishes of s majority of the People ell the Slaw was torn to pines by civil conflicts and by spelling the blood of the hest citizens. Thus perished liberty at Sparta, at Rome, and thus it sill perish among us. W. make the following farther es from the last American Papers : •• • Laptain Bloout, at Norfolk, who left St. Dar. tholomew's on the 411 of February, reports that part of Bacon's squadron, under CommodoreJouc , con. sisting of One twenty gun ship, an eighteen gen brig.
