The obvious hints continually thrown out upon this delicate subject, induced us a few weela ago to lay before the Public a full statement of the rumours afloat, a comment upon their pretensions to authenticity, and some hypothetical arguments upon.a matter so deeply interesting to the British People. We were induced to pursue this course from a conviction that.the plain story, such as it was told, could do no mischief, but, on the contrary, prevent the mischief which Clark inuendos and confident conjectures were eminently calculated to produce. Since that period, linwever, the' assumption of the fact that a Divorce was really intended has super. seded the earlier form of a supposition that such measure might be in . . tea that the press is not fre!!, that It is is the hands, of the MitiistCrs, that it was the Ministers who dissitlred the Chtsn ber, andwli6 Control the.Journais.

The work of M. De Chateanbri l ana contains tWo clurpters, in which he discusses the liberty of the press. "This liberty," he observes, " has its . dangers. Who is ignorant of this It is there fore a liberty which, can only _exist by having ins pendent over it a s i trong law, which may prevent prevarication by ruin, calumny by infamy, !edi tions writings by imprisoninent, and some times by death.
