Whit can we think of that policy which, instead of endeavouring to establish a throne of love and power in the grateful hearts of en applauding, an enlightened,and a happy people, studies only to fetter and barbarise a nation? The projectors and advocates of this measure for • coercing the press in France have not proved its ne cessity et the present moment more than at any other periodor that the new-established monarchy is in any 'danger from the licentiousness of public writers. Are we to infer from this, that there are such mea sures in contemplation as require the previous coer cion of the press to insure their success? that in or der to lay popular freedom completely prostrate at the feet of despotic power, it is necessary to bind its guardian in pearl' chains ? It is not given to man to read the book of futurity ; but if we may judge of Ore future by the past, fears may well be entertained fur the consequences of any measure that lays an on ; due restriction on the exercise of men's judgments and opinions, which can only be known by publica i time.

He observed, that though the subject had been well discussed, still it was necessary for Mm to examine it again, for'the purpose of conciliating all minds. It is feared that the project will arrest the progress of knowledge, but consult our history from the time of Francis the First. The intention of Government is to cause literature to be respected, by permitting only writers of esteemed talents to exer cise Its profession. Censorship is for those libellists who are enemies to the peace of families and the order of society. As, however, the Ist article of the project has given rise to objections, the King has charged me to reduce to 20 the number of sheets composing works free from previous censorship. The; Minister was astonished that so lively an interest was taken in behalf of pamphlets and journals. It weuln be more for their advantage, should they be independent. Could they [fear them, having it in their power to pay them better than the public ? However the King grants some amendments. The first has been mentioned. The second frees from cen sorship the opinions of the Members of this House.
