Gentleman from Patuxent, Jane 24, informs, It a British party, a Serjeant of Marines and *liven seamen, was surprised near Benedict, by a a►atl party of troops. Five of the seamen were 'liken, and two escaped; but the Serjeant fought desperately ;—attacked by three horsemen, he killed ase, badly wounded the other two, and escaped over a fence ; but was pursued and overtaken in a , marsh, where the Briton fell, after receiving se►eral „Aronnds, the last of which nearly severed his head 4rom Ms body. Commodore Chioncey's squadron, at the latest - dates, was said to be waiting for seamen, who are on their way from the eastern ports. The importance of a free press, as a guarantee fol the liberties of a nation, cannot be too highly esti snated: Wllit a fair and rational portion of this freedom, no people can be enslaved—without it, stone can long remain free. The new Constituted Authorities of France have commenced their public tarter, by discussing the plan of a law on this pri- Weaary and momentous subject. The projet of this tow oar, in the early part of last month, sent by the ' King to the Chamber of Deputies, the leading ob ject of which was to impose a previous Ceesorehip ispost all those works of a size that were calculated for general reading. Among these Were included • pamphlets and journals—the maximum of size being flied at thirty sheets.—The Chamber . of Deputies referred the mid to their Central Committee, which has, through its organ, M. RAY. Neekno, delivered in its Report, whicb contains A. stroll ettipmendation of the rejection of the Prq*. Tfie Chamber were to take this Report of • their Committee into consideration last Friday, the result -of which we are waiting for with anxiety. This is the first time the Xing has come in contact with his Chamber of Deputies, and the final decision will better ensile us to judge of the views and strength of the contending parties, than any other occurrence that has taken piaci in France, since the restoration • •, et , the BounisoNS, will go a great way toueter mine whether Frisks late relapse into the old state of disgusting despotism, in retain such a portion of liberty, as shall io some degree reward her for the sufferings she has endured, and the calamities that have convulsed her through the long and stormy period of the most tremendous revolution with which the world is acquainted. The debate in the Chem highest degree embers on each the Secretary's in the discus.

That is to say, that they are, from some cause, physical or morel, or both, Incapable of estimating the value of rational liberty, and unworthy of its enjoyment— that the national misfortunes of France have pro. dosed no alteration in her they have neither changed her temper nor improved her •nderstanding, and at the very moment she is allowed, in all other respects, to be one of the most civilized nations on earth, she is said to have remained stationary in political wisdom, and utterly disqualified to make any advance from that point of hopeless stupidity. Had the writer only recol. ed A lected the test, on which his remarks were in tended as a comment, he would have found a com , Vete refutation of this silly and common-place de stlaroation. He would have seen, not only that ti,AllsottaßD, but that a majority of the Central ,Committee, however " lively and ardent," were 'ldeally acquainted with the great advantages to be derive.! from a free Press, to vote for the re jection of the King's prqjet---it circumstance which proves, at least, that there are some Frenchmenwho still kilo* how to prize liberty, and to struggle for its at tainment. The same journal, too, thinks that the vir tue* of the sovereign of France are tolerable securities egailut an abuse of power under any system At' rule. Ttriels far, very far indeed, from being our opinion. be to that nation who has no better securities for the enjoyment of property.; liberty, and life, .than the sirtues of a . king ! Could they have made such a King as their own HENRY IV. immortal, the lrepct. might have advanced such an argument with same better grace. But while the character of their 1 successors must always he a matter of uncertain sontingeney, and while indeed their owl; views, mo tives., and feelings, are constantly changing, the best and wisest of Kings can afford no stable and lasting Security for the preservation of Civil and Religions Liberty. Where the law governs alike king and pepple, apt nation is free—where the king's will is, iris, call'ilte government by what name you still, the peopte ere shires.
