LONDON, TUESDAY, Dec Mean 21, 1819. The enactments of the Bill for the punishment sr-el prevention of Seditious Meetings were last right discussed in the House of Lords, but the M,eisters did trot yield a single point : several ilteratiorts were proposed, but they were uniformly 'ejected. Such was the fate of a motion by the EA of Burstwiosi, that Ireland should be ex cluded from the operation of the measure, but the iteltelowledged tranquillity of that part of the errpire, with the assurance that it has never been enstomary there to hold meetings for political dis t cssichi in the open air, were not sufficient to pre ser%e Ireland from this visitation. Prevention, we are pertly told, is better than punishment, it is vat the characteristic of freedom that the pei;ple sl:ould be deprived of their privileges, only 1.e.. fear that they might by possibility abuse them. 'Pie same consideration applies to the far greater ps , i of this country which has preserved its tran qtyllity, and where no taint of Radical doctrines even been suspected. But argument and re tiviiistrance are now ineffectual, and we must only submit in quietness to the gradual deprivation of oru most valued rights, until in other times and unit, r better Ministers they may be once more esthred to us. The Bill will be read the third time this evening. Several Petitions were presented last night to the !louse of Commons from the most respectable lloAsellers in squint** parts of the kingdom, and ntler persons, against the Bills now in progress in Parliament for riestioy;ng the liberty of the press. Ctiiii.idering the undefined nature of • libel, the derimiciation of • punishment so dreadful and se. , ere as perpetual banishment, is extremely revolt. 1134 to every feeling of justice and humanity. In I;in is it urged that punishment is denounced against wilful offenders only, and that no re. s l ier-table and loyal man has any cause for appre -I.ension;but can a line be drawn to distinguish tl,r respectable and loyal so called, from those Mho may be thought tint to merit these flat tein g epithets The individual who happens to publish what might be afterwards deter mined to be a libel, must be responsible for occurrence, tied no previous respectability, loalty, or integrity, can save him from suffering the consequences of his offence. A publisher in extensive trade must, from the limited powers of ntonre, depend upon the discretion of others. He vaiinot read every work committed to his care, and even it he were, can lie be supposed capable of de tetroining what may chance to be proved a libel, when it is known that the most experienced lawyers.• sad even the judges, frequently differ opon Such subjects. A libel is not, and can• not be strictly &fired ; upon the discretion, therefore, of on individual must the character of every writing eventually drprud, and aith it the prosperity and happiness of every political writer or publisher in the empire. The second reeding of the Libel Bill was post poned until this day. Tie Newspaper Stamp Duty Bill was discussed at great length in the Committee. Several amendments were proposed, and negatived. The ATTORNEY-GENERA I„ by a special clause, exempted price currents, papers for mercantile information, school-books, and other publications of a similar kind, from the operation of this Bill. French Papers of ‘Vedriemlay, Thursday, and Friday, have arrived at our office. On Thursday the little Princess MAniE LO(' se-Ttieiteks D'Awrots, daughter of the I)nke of BERRY, was with great solentuity baptised iii the Palace Chapel. The KING and MADAME the Dochr.ss of Axoou• JAME held the child ut the baptismal font in pre. belleC of the several Members of the Royal Family, the Ministers, Great Officers of Court, and other Personages of distinction. The ceremony was per formed by the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies charged with preparing an Address to the KING, in answer to the Speech from the Throne at the opening of the Session, met on Tuesday and on Wednesday, but the result of their deliheratious was not made public. It was known only that a project of address had been offered by M. BEN •AMIN CONSTANT, sod another by ;11. Box:Ruyan. It is understood that the Minister of Finance pro posed to submit to the Chamber of -Deputies, on Thursday, a project of a law for the definitive set tlement of the accounts of 1818,and the provisional examination of those of 1819. This project will be discussed separate from the budget of 1820. Accounts received in Paris from Madrid intimate that orders had been issued by the Spanish Minis ter of War to the Colonels of the Militia Itegi., menu in Spain, that they should hold their regi. ments in readiness to march, if necessary, upon Madrid ; but some of the Paris Papers throw doubts upon the authenticity of this intelligence. The Spanish Government, for the encouragement of the agriculture of Spain, has removed the duties upon the importation of Spanish corn into the American colonies, and has icupo•ed a new duty of eight piastres and a half a barrel upon all foreign wheat imported into the Island of Cuba. This measure will sensibly affect the United States. The Rimesters seem to increase in Paris, if we are to judge from the multiplicity of complaints that are daily made by wounded females to the - poke of that city. It is very extraordinary, that DO person has been as yet arrested for this diaboli cal crime. The Five per Cents are 69 fr. 55 c. Bank Actions 1,465 fr.

We have here a censorship of the press, as in the States of Germany, but we scarcely perceive it, and it is evident that it is not oppressive by the manner in which the Junctril called 7'he Friends of the People expresses itself.

It is certain that it waits for isistructiuns from the Committee of the Diet appointed for Hod purpose. A Jourual of Gotha speaks of a new ci,smlatiois among: the students, to renounce the use of biaiii4 slid tobacco. Undoubtedly every associatiou which has so laudable au object will be received with pleasure. Yesterday the Duke of YORK came to town from Oatlands, and afterwards had an audience of the PRINCE REGENT at thulton House upon military business. Letters were received in town yeatertlay, which a e understand mention the death of the A retilashop of Dusux. His Grace has been a long time in bud health. The Staff of the Northumberland Militia, his Grace's Artillerymen, and the Coquetdule Ranger~, were reviewed by his Grace the Duke of NORTH UMBERLAND, at Alnwick, on NVednesday last. Alter the review, his Grace treated the ❑ou-com- missioned officers ■nd privates with s dinner ; the commissioned officers dined at the Castle, with the Duke and Duchess. Admiral Lo►d EIMOUTII has returned to Ply mouth, and re-hoisted his flag on board the im pregnable. On Thursday last, RODGER, the Prerident, and 511I.LAR. the Secretary to the Airdrie Radic,,ls, were admitted to hail, and liberated from flumilton tol booth. On Friday morning a messenger was dis patched from Airdrie for a post.chaise,which drove up to the gaol-door about twelve o'clock, the Radi cals being resolved to enter the chaise at that place. Shortly alter, RODGER and his wife (oho is a gen teel-looking young woman), with the Secretary, walked from their lodgings to the gaol, wearing the in.ignia of the order displayed it, the tame matt tier as the Waterloo medal., The insignia are three pieces of ribbaud, red, white, and blue, pen dant on the left breast. On stepping into the car liege, the pri►oners within the gaol, and the crowd collected without, gave the Radicals three hearty cheers when they drove WI. On arriving at Green end, near Airdrie, they were niet by au immense multitude of people, who took the horses front the carriage, and drew it into Airdrie, amidst thunders of applause.

This day departed this life "Freedom of Speech," " Right of Petitioning," and " Liherty of she Pre.is"—the three principal Suns of BRITISH LI BERTY. They were descended from an ancient Saxon fa. miry. of which the origin is lost in the obscurity and darkness of early time.. IVilliam the Con queror obliged them to live in secret and in Silence; hut during the reign of King John, the Barons stood forth their champions, sad, for the lint lime, established their Rights in an agreement called Magna Clorta. From that period there three young Gentlemen passed through a variety of scenes; sometimes they were countenanced, hut generully oppressed, till I(ii3, when King William 111. established them in lila, us the principal supporters of their mother-- Burn's' LIBERTY. Since that perjod (with the exce•ition of what has been very properly denominated the Gagiting Bills, which received the Royal Assent on the 1701 of December, 1793) they have lived a blessiNg to the land—The first, " Freedom of Speech," was the soul of every company—The second, " Bight of Petitioning," had often prevented disagreements bctween the King and people from breaking out into actual hostilities—and the third, " Liberty of the Press," was the terror of all had Ministers; but at last -- ,Vaiiters, by their intrigues rand -- majorities, have put a period to their exist ence, and, therefore, it becomes the duty of their friends to bemoan their loss. Nole—Tbe above notice was prepared and sent to a. to be inserted immediately after the pendia: Rills in Parha_ anent shall have passed; but presuming, as we do, that the Bills will certainly pass, we hope our Currespoudent will excuse its present premature lost two. vague and ambiguous manner in %Lich the Sill was Drawn li t ..
