T;:c late war haring terminated sooner than its ad- opeates either desired or expected, an important change has faked place, in the circulation of News-' papers, and . the MinisterioLlournals are noz o k in .re ded to a rei with their competitors in regard to early intelligence.

We can at pre lenvonly give the substance of this interesting dis- iagiioo':~ . CHAMUER, OP pgrutins, Ay*. 6. The tittit•g 41118,411011efl at one o'clock, when • - - M. FLwair haring ascended the tribune, caul t. monad the discetairin on. the Liberty of the Prep, • by a speech of cotisiderable eloquence, in which he contended, tliat die liberty of individuals ought to be subordinate to the general interests, and observed, diet it is often neceesary to St e crifioe one part to s Insure the liberty of the whole. Hence it is the. principle of all conpervatory laws, for the preserve-. 0 1 Hen of public order, to lay down measures for the ! i revention of iufringement on the rights and interests of the community. Re observed it was nay to re fine the objection made to the intervention of the ~ laws to restrain the undue exercise of the liberty of the press, which it is preyed can put in danger the reputation of individuals, and the safety of Govern: tont, and employed many other arguments to show the necesaity of coercing the press. ~. The speech which excited the greaesetiliterest and —etterition was that of Dwitor.ab, W spoke at great length, to the following effect ..The liberty of the press, and civil liberty in general, are inseparable. To destroy one is to destroy the other. It is a general wish, it is n constitutiooel right. Men may abose this liberty, and• become ponishaible for it : but you have no right to deprive' them of the privilege of expressing their opinions,. This privilege ought to be held sacred. —Foy from protecting licentiousness, there is no thing more likely to prevent it then the Freedom csf the Press, in which all orders of society are inte rested. Ile would not assimilate the actual Ministers of Government with the satellites of the late tyranny, bet he would impress upon them,that when the liber ty of the subject, tbe•Liberty of the Press, was once lost, all other points, important to the welfare of so arty must share the same fate, for with this they were necessarily and intimately blended. After a speech of great eloquence and animation, 111. Donsolard concluded by rejecting the project of .tise law.. The Sitting was then concluded. miiiim.E.N.,l .
