LAW PROJECT ON THE PRESS. President—The Order of the Day calls to the tribune the Reporter of the Committee appointed to consider the law project for the repression of 'grimes of the press. M. ChifHet, the Reporter—The law project whi c h your Committee has directed me to report, has for its object the repression of several offences whirl) were not provided against by the laws of the 17th of May, and the 9th of June, 1819. In gene loopy adopting the proposed measures, your CUM. mittee has perceived still too much reserve. Permit me to make same preliminary observations. Here the Reporter entered into very long details. He up pleuded the spirit which dictated article 1, against writers who insult or ridicule either the religion of the State, or auy other religion, the establishment of which is recognized in France. It would be no longer imagined, as io the &Initial of party spirit it had been, that the law of France was atheistical, and that it ought so to be. He expressed the same epprobatioo of article 2, which provides against the impelling of the royal authority ; and of article 4, relative to instigations to hatred and contempt of King's Goverutuent.—f Violent atermers on Me M. de Girardin—This definition has a frightful latitude. M. Chifllet in continuation—Te tranquillise, however, the most onxinus minds, 'oar Committee ptuposts to odd to this article rr the present provi. shin shall not Militate against the right tit disenesitut and the cenoiriug ofimineterial Voice on - the left--00der the good pleated* Of the erecomirMost of censorship and its eircalars. The Repater pirseeeded—The law of the 17tt of May authorized the Journals to give accounts. of the debates of the Chamber of Deputies, provided they were reported correctly and with good faith; but that law enacted no psoishmeot against the opposite offence, namely, the reporting the sittings of the Chamber and the Tribunals unflithfully. - The present project supplies this defect. Not only the Editors who pettish unfaithful accounts may be punished by fine and imprisonment, hut accord. ins to article 7, the Proprietors end Editors of the offending Joan's! may he prohibited front 'giving any further 'accounts of legislative or judicial pro. ceedings. The Committee is of opinion, that a total prohibition would be roo rigorous, and that it will be sultci-iit to interdict the publication for limited period. Voice un the lift--If the suspension should hap. pen during the Session of the Chambers, that will render the journal prodigiously interesting. Oilier - Voices—This is much the same as if, in.. steed of condemning a mai, to death, you merely peohibited him from breathing for 44 hours. The Reporter—The Committee cannot disguise to itself that the'provision of article 9, against per sons who may endeavour to disturb the public peace, by exciting contempt or hatred of citizens against one or several classes of persons, is somewhat vague, and it has therefore rectified in. The Committee is of opisnoo Ore the corporations recognised by the Charter deserve at leust as much respect iu society as individuals. M. de Lamed), and other members on the left. exclaimed, in the midst of much tumuli—The Charter recognizes sin corporations! It will turn out at last that we shall be allowed to speak of nothing snot even of the Missionaries. We shall be told also, tbot they ore corporations recognized by the Charter. The Reporter continued his details, in the midst noise which prevented us from collecting what he Stilted: The president—The Reporter must not be in terruptid. M. Casimir Perrier.—There is much imprudence in the discossion raised by the Reporter. Oilier voices.—" Yes, yes; imprudence !" 'flit ?resident—The Reporter speaks in the name of the Committee. You will have the opportunity of replying to him in the debate in the public sit ting. liiterruptioab like the present cannot be to lerated. The Reporter proceeded to the offences corn mited by the Journals. fie proposed to empower the courts which judge in the last resort to suspend Or suppress a jriUrnal, the editors of which should be guilty of a relapse to seditious provocations. (An explosion of murnsers.) This suppression is not, as has been pretended, confiscation ; for confiscu tion is what is done for the profit of the treasury, and that is what the Charter has thought fit to abo lish. (New interruptions.) Voice from the left.—We cannot heir ; encore ! (A laugh.) The Reporter—The weapon with which a maniac wool.] strike Ms victim is taken from him. Are weapons of malevolence in the possession of a jour. nudist lees formidable, or' are not our neighbour* every day obliged to destroy infected articles? It is proper that the proprietors should make the 'seri fice.--f Laughter and interruption.) A voice on the left—Do you compare the article* of Journals to the yellow fellow ? A yoke on the right—We are afraid of the tri. coloured fever, I distributed. The Reporter.—The suppression of a journal readers measures necessary for preventing its re appearing under another title. Without that pro %islet' the law would be illusory. The Cortsdiittie has not thought it necessary to enter into a cou sideration of this subject ; a law of police which provides against this ease is submitted to you. The reporter now arrived at the most important part of his Stibket, and entered into long details oh the question whether Juries ought to continue to take coguissuce of offences of the press. lie observed, that it could not be forgotten that scandalous im 'rankles had been proclaimed by some verdict.. M.N. Girsrdin, Lintle, &c.—You should rather opr4k of scandalous conviction.. General Foy—What! the Reporter of a Com .. ailtee speaking against the judicial judgmeuts. M. Wile—He is calumniating the Prefects who appoint juries. The Reporter continuing—Where, then, is the guarantee which society want.? M. de Chauvelin and others—ln a jury of which we have only the shadow. The Reporter.—The Committee has instructed me to propose to you to refer to the Royal Courts the cognizance of offences of the press, on references being made to them by the Chamber of Council. What just distrust can you have of Courts whisk judge finally iu appeals relative to your fortune i_ad your honour ? The power proposed to be giver! ti them will augment their political kroportatice, anti elevate them in public opinion. M. de Lameth.—Say, rather, that it will trim them in public opinion.. The Reporter—it must be remembered, that the judgment is to be pronounced in r solemn sitting of both Chambers of the Court, and that the num ber of judgeo present cannot be less th.,n 12. They will, therefore, constitute a sort of Special Jury, and there can be no reason to apprehend that the decisions will be marked by 'nubility. The Mem bers of the Committee are musuitnods in their opi nion. The Reporter concluded by expressing his hope, that the law project and the amendments made by the Committee would he favourably re ceived by a Chamber so eminently religious and royalist. M. de Corcelles--And constitutional. Several voices—This is a true report of the Comte mince of General Security.

The President—According to the rules of the Chamber, there must be 24 hours between the dis tribution of the report and the debate. It is not put sible that the report can be distributed to-morrow. MM. de Coredles, Mechin, Girardio, &c.—Then melte Monday the duy. Voice on the right—That cannot be. Yon for get that Monday is the gist atJanuary. There can be no sitting on that day. M. de Corcelles—Then pot off the debate till next year if you like.—( Laughter./ M. Benjamin Constant—l propose that the discussion be adjourned to Tuesday the Slid. It is impossible that a law which has hems cGropletele modified by the Committee, which changes the whole of our jurisprudence, which destroys the natural order of jurisdictions— and which I maintatn is hostile to the Charter, can he discussed until we have hod time to reed end reflect on the volumilinus report which you have just heard. This le*, is fact. introduces into jurispru dence principles which I shall not now attempt to characterise, but which require a long and profound examination. By acting hastily, the Chamber would do injustice to itself.—(Laughter.)—The proposed law is contrary to every principle hitherto recognised. For my part I declare that I cannot discuss such a report within twenty-four hours. A number of voices.—Do not discuss it How ; this is not the time. Amidst great tnmult the President repeatedly rang the bell, but found it impossible to produce silence, and M. Benjamin Constant, after some farther observations, left the tribune, declaring that discussion was impossible in an assembly which possessed such a majority. The President then put the question on the con sideration of the Report for Tuesday. This will to.gatived, and Saturday was fixed for the debate. There will he a public sitting on Wednesday, for a report from the Committee of Petitions. The following is a private letter dated • ' 6 PARIS, JANUARY 14, Severs O'Clock. " The report on M. de Serre's project of law for the regulation of the press has been presented to day : the discussion commences on Saturday. The reporter was M. Chifflet (Member for Doubt), who is new to this Chamber, but who sat and voted with the majority for the Citambre Intromvsible. He was then the reporter of a commission which proposed to render the clergy proprietors, and strongly support ed the proposition of M. de Bonald to suppress the right of divorce. He was appointed President of the Coaer-hoyele of Besancon by Ultra interest. Such bring the reporter on the project of law for re gulating the press, the nature of the report may be easily conjectured. I cannot at this hour give any de tailed recount of its contents, It was extremely long, occupying the Chamber from half-past three to within • quarter of five. It was drawn up quite in in Ultrannumerond was frequently interrupted by the loud disapprobation of the left sideof the Cham ber. The . principal point of novelty i n it wa s a recommeudatiou to abolish the nisi by jury in all offences of the press, as in M. Peyronnet's project with respect to the journals, and to transfer the de• vision to the Cours-tOyalts, in solemn sitting,. with not less titan twelve judges. This, said the Reporter, was all the guarantee that the free dom of the press could demand. The Cham ber was full. The sitting was very stormy ; the disapprobation of the Liberals vehement, and the adheslas of the Ultras equally clamorous. As soon M ON report was read, no less than fortystwO mtaibers inscribed their names to oppose the project. Among those inscribed in support of it is M. Clausel dr Coussergues, who Made such an unreasonable and absurd attack on M. de Cases, as the murderer of the Duke of Berry: he is ut their held. The galleries were crowded to excess. Per eons had even taken their stand at the door by eight o'clock in the morning, though the sitting did not open till half-pipit one. The discus ions will be very important. France is yet fur from being settled in her liberties, when questions of such im portance as trial by jury are opened for discussion in reports like the present. " The report on M. Peyronnet's Bill for the po lice of the journals, it is sold, will not be delivered till the debates terminate on the project of de Serve. It is somewhat striking that the reporter of this cow - mission, M. de Martignac, •a well us of the other, should belong to the Royal Court. M. tie Wittig nue is Procureur-Gerieral of the Royal Court of Li moges, and spoke lately in favour of M. de Sarre, when his conduct with regard to striking • bar rider off the list was made the subject of complaint to the Chamber. M. de Miniature is considered as a good and steady Ultra. •He was nominated (asp an Ultra Journal) a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour by the King, for his fine end loyal 0111.• duct at Bourdraux on the restoration. and during the hundred days.' There con. of course, be uo doubt of the swine of his report. " Funds at the close of the market were—Five per Cents. 85 f. 90 c. (5 cents. lower than the price in the printed list)." MEMORANDUM.

Changes in the Administration of the country— the removal of one Minister and the accession of another, are circumstances which usually and na turally excite the particular and anxious attention of the public. lu such events the interests of so ciety are deeply involved, and no change, however minute, can occur in the constitution of a Cabi net without producing, though perhaps not sensi bly or immediately, some effect upon the general character of the Administration. We must, how ever, presume, that to the public mind the change recently effected in the Cabinet by the resignation of Lord SIDMOVIII, and the accession of Mr. Peel. to the Home Depa►tment, appears to he on exception to this general rule, for we certainly never witnessed any event of a public nature upon which the country in general has shewn so utter au indif ference. The change does not come upon us now by surprise—the certainty of its occurrence has been for some time offered to the attention of the people, and no marked feeling has been manifested upon the subject. The interest that may have been ex cited by the event is confined within the circles of Lord SIDMOUTH'S and Mr. Pages acquaintance, hot beyond these limits there is no sorrow for the retreat of the one, nor exultation at the appoint ment of the other. • There is always something invidious in an at tempt to estimate the comparative meri►s of any persona, and in the present instance we profess to feel no speculisr interest which might induce us to enter upon the performance of so distasteful an office. But, in feet, Lord SIDWOUTH and Mr. PEEL stand before the public on grounds toe dissi milar to admit with propriety any comparison that might assume an invidious character. The intel lectual qualities, the shades of mind that distinguish a young man and an old man, acknowledge nothing in common. There is experience upon the one side, dud the energy of youth upon the other. The one is just entering into public life with all those bounding hopes of future fame which may well be justified by the rapidity of his advancement and the flattering applause, of his friends; the other has achieved his course, and the effect which he has produced may be collected from the temper and feeling of ihe public mind evinced upon the knowledge of his retreat. Mr. PEEL possesses un doubtedly more vividness of talent than ever Lord SIDMOUTIi in his best days presented ;• but its effect is sometimes miserably marred by a formality and precision of manner which once distinguished his predecessor in office, and were by many mistaken in him for wisdom. These qualities admirably . _ fitted Mr. ADDINGTON 10 fill the Chair of the noose of Commons, in which, indeed, they are in. dispensable. Mr. Penes situation can dispense with them, and his resources, intellectual and ac quired, are of ton high a nature to stand in need of these moral markings, which a strong and inge nuous mind would never assume, and which are often found to betray the defects which they were intended to conceal. In the principles avowed by Lord SIDMOUTH and Mr. PIM as the rate of their political conduct, there is, we believe, but few, if any, shades of difference. This probably is the cause why the public ►hould evince no solicitude upon the change that has been effected in this particular. Upon the subject, however, of Mr. C. W. ‘l'xxu's acres. 'ion to the Cabinet there is some anxiety felt. The public are desirous to know the principles upon which the party with which Mr. WYNN has tisnally acted now unite with the Tories, and whether the union has been accomplished by any sacrifice of opi nions upon either side. The questions of most jai parlance at the present moment are those which relate to the state of our finances, sod to the admissibility of Roman Catholics into the Semite and Council Chamber. Upon these the R u ck• Ingham party have usually expressed liberal srr►- ttments, and one of that party, a man with whom few can compete in point of talents or learning, whose powers of eloquence are as singularly great as his knowledge of mankind, whether acquired from observation or from books, is extensive and pro found, has presented himself to Parliament and the country as the parent of a measure which had for its purpose the relief of his Catholic fellow-sub. jects. Is this great question still to continue what is called an open question ? Will the Cabinet, now fortified by this new accession of strength and vigour, still treat it with indifference, as if it matter_ ed nothing to the empire whether the chance of discussion should establish the claims of so large a portion of the people, or reject them ? Upon this matter, and upon the subject of retrenchment in the expenditure of the State, the public are indeed deeply interested; but nothing can be known with ST '` . 11 - Vb-t.j0.3 \ • a • • • to Jeti~e'ltptq the flubject limit the several ow l "• shun' have an opportunity of expliminq in Paths. meat the motives of their conduct.

The Report of the project td the law for the regulation of the Press was mad e in the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, Th , reporter, M. CHIMET, was frequently inle t ; rupted by strong expressions of disapprobation, in s ! brief but apposite comments upon the most pro minent points. Its principal novelty was a tette, mendmtion to abolish the trial by Jury in .11 i,r. fences of the press, as in the project bf the 6 for the police of the journals, ■nd to trid, the decision to the KING'S Courts in solets s sitting, with not less than twelve Judges.
