At a late audience of the National Institute, the Emperor N•rottos, we are told, conversed very affably with several of its Members. Among the Test, he Teproached M. FONTIIIIILS, President of the Legislative Body, (who first introduced himself to entice by an eulogy on Wasnisoros) for having highly commended, in the public papers, a work by . 14 ' Mott, in which, despotism is praised as the ant form of Gianni/sent. FONTAN was. at the Moment, at a loss for a better excuse, than that the Author was a very reveelabie LINO. " Then praise his exc-lien; charader,' rejoined the Euratom; 4 ' and judge his Work with impsni3lity. Are we to he thrown hack into the Mural century I and *ill you not sula• as to retail) or= the Republic of Letters e" COP the test erd 711 E PRESS. We promised, on Saturday, to take some notice of an article in Tae Courier of Friday, in which it is asserted, that " with respell to the present riego ciatioa, the Newspapers have been very ignorant, while the Stock Exchange has been very knowing ; that the FOXIT es have obtained a very general and extraordinary influence over the Newspapers; and that they have made no inconsiderable progras is reducing the Newspaper Press of London, to the same state of dullness, ignorance, and degradation, with that of France."— Ili: is the suns and sub stance of the charge in The Cour:er, preferred in its usual broad and vulgar manner, in which coarse toss is mistaken fur strength, and confident aner tion is made to supply the place of argument. Now, to estimate the motives in which this calumny upon the Government and the Puhlic Press has been engendered, we must compare The Courier, at the present time, with what it was six months ago, in the hands and under the guidance of the very same condu.tors. During the late Administration, the Empirics of The Courier daily dealt out their doses to their patients, with the following labels : " Government has this day receryed the important intelligence "It has been just communicated to us, Irons irulhori?, :" 'The Privy Council sat this morning, and determined, &c." l'hat vli . PITT, in the pre-eminence of his talents, felt himself every thing, and every one else nothing, in his Admi aistration, we admit. That he did not over-rate himself. or undervalue his retainers, we also readily agree. If, to purchase the puffs of The Coin , r, they were capable of betraying state accrete to the Editor, which are now wirheld from him, the pre sent Government are not to blame for declining to Witham such nauseating drug., noon such terms. But how low must that Print be sunk in its own estimation, when it condescends to make. • public comfession of its ignorance, and the only consolation t s which it aspires, is the fond hope, that others are as miseraole as itself ; when, to gratify a selfish panioa, it cries out. Liu all the other Papers at's eanaily without information, an i " that the Fox- I TIES have reduced the Press of London to the same state el dullness, icnorance, and degradation as that of France.'' The Courier, we grant, is as ig norant of state secret•. as any despot could wren; bat that Print is. of all others, the most tn.& measiste of the Public Press. That it should be deinsed. in a peculiar degree, try Government, ca.,. not surprise those who r -ad its duly rioaldry and anuse of the Fort I ; who look back to its con due at the birth of the present Sfin.stry ; the hopes and fears with which' it was agitated at that im portant crisis ; me day bellying. another day beg ging to be retained in s•r►ice ; and, finally, as if t had actually completed the bargain, announcing, that as any writer of talent appeared upon the li terary stage, he was sure to be bought up by Govern ment ; that it would soon become the duty of The Courier to support those whom it was then abusing.—Tbe Comer, in this instance, however, has proved itself as bad a Prophet, as it is a Poll tician.—lt has not yet felt it its duty to support the Minister; and of the great political measure of the Jay, we mean the Vegociation, it confesses its entire ignorance " But then." adds The Courier, as evidence of the antipathy et the Government to the press in general, " T4e Morwiez Chronicle must be fully sensible of the truth of this observation. To discuss, animadvert, and censure ; to irritate, inflame, and embreil•; these are the objects of the Fox Ira press. in opposition ; but when in power, it aims at the silence, dullness, and tranquillity of Despotism."—lf this be not intended merely as an invitation to change places, and play over time old complimentary duet of the Leading Print of Go vernment. and the Leading Print of Opposition, with which the town was so long nauseated, we do not see the force of the appeal.—lf TA* hlereiag anise,* did formerly discuss, irritate, and int Mlle, and if, as The Courier asserts, it has become "a vapid publication," surely, atl this may htie happened without the interposition of the Foetus, or any wish on their part, to " reduce the Newspaper Press of London to the emit state of dullness, ignorance, and degredatioh, as that of Paris."—lf it irritated and inflamed, to get its friends into power, and if they are now in power. surely, that is a reason why it should alter its tone ; unless to irritate and in flame, without an objet, or an end, be the duty, at all times, of every Newspaper.—The present Government may be so firmly bottomed in public opinion, as not to require the support of the public Press ; and the opposition to it, so feeble, as to be unworthy of notice. No attempt may be made to irritate and inflame the public mind against the C rise tea eAGHS. the Roses, and the Bonanza ; but surely it is hard to vi.it this as a crime upon the Fox ir as. and a proof of their antipathy to the Public Press.—Tbe soldier of Luc us. us, who was desperate when poor, became cautious when rich, without any imputation upon his courage ; and whoa urged to a dangerous enterprise, " Pit ea 14110 vii qui zoom pudidit, To assert, then, that the Foxtres exercise a tyranni cal '.:lfiueoce over the public Press,because the Editor of a particular print may hare grown too rich or too lazy to write, or feels no necessity to discuss public inaasures to the same extent as formerly, is a carious instance of Csttrier logic. It furnisluts also a cu rious instance of Courier consistency. Nut many days ago, The Courser asserted, that Mr. AD•IR, now at Vienoa, was the Author of the 1101 tales in The Morning Chronicle; meaning those articles on which that Paper exercised the privilege „ to dis cuss, animadvert, and censure ; to irritate, itsflanie, and embroil." Now, if this assertion be founded in fa&, and if, when the brains are out, it be natural for the man to die, it is not very consistent in The Courier, to attribute to the tyranny of the Foci-cis, an effect which it had before traced to a natural and adequate cause. It is with reluctance we have introduced, so often, the name of that respeSable Print, The Alorning Chronicle. It is able to speak for itself ; we come forward only in the common cause. We repeat. them that the attack of 7Ge Cerfria, is the effusion of envy, disappointment, and conscious iateriority. We originally announced the commencement of the siegociation i we , have continued to announce the Infant and deperturt of Messengers with aspatches, as they took place; the progress of the argociatiat, and the poiat of difficulty respecting Sicily, which Las recently arisen. If there are people who deny the existence of a negoeiation, and represent the arrival and de parture of Messengers, as the fißions of the Stock Exchange. it is too hard, surely, to consider their want of faith our ignorance. If some men are blind. or shut their eyes, it is too much for them to assert that others do not see, and that all the world is involved in darkness. erwmwscemsweemes. DUELLY, Juror 8.
