FARM JULY 10.
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
SITTING or THI 9TH JULY.

The order of the day is for the discussion on
the aosendnsent of M. Cosrtarrel, to the effect
that the last relating to the censorship of journals,
.he postponed for three mouths only after the open-
ing of the Session of 1841-
_ __

The 11REPER of the ss A LS The object of
the arioesolinent is to give the. Government the cen-
sorship of journals which it requires, but to limit
its duration to the expiration of three months from
the opening of the next Session ; this amendment
supposes the adoption of the censorship, at least
for that period. I hare only to meson from
the hypothesis of the amendment. I am not
goinz to put forward again the statements which are
iti favour of the measure for the suspension
of the liberty of the press, but solely to NM-
tuadvert on the importance of the postponement.
At first sight, I admit the delay does not appear to
cerise any serious difficulty ; but, on reflection, it
is seen that it gives rise to eoneislemble difficulties,
both of a material and moral nature. I shall state
both of therm—To judge, at least frosts their
speeches. Honourable Members who propose the
eeilsorship with tbio. limitation, hater undoubtedly
said : Though, during the first three mamba of
the Session, it was possible to make laws stiffi-
mai ly powerful, and of such a nature as to dis-
pense with the censorship, and alibutiali it was not
decided at that time whether it would be possible
that the law of the censorship should !nos or not
after the expiration of those three months, it was
of importance that the Chamber should do what
the Government itself lias done, namely, examine
in succession all the measures, whose adolisiuli
would answer for the censorship in restraining the
licentiousness of the press.. I sin of opinion, then.
that in order to make the Chamber scusible of the
material difficulties which this obligation imposed on
the Government awl 'adopted by the Chamber would
encounter. we must enter lido some details on these
'laws of restraint or of security. If the Climber,
adopting this arnendatrot, be of opinion that the
inert important of all laWs to be brought forward
uthe commencement of the Nett set,oo, this
very kw of reeentisit. objets oirerS such great seen-
.rity, it.shirld recollect that it consists in the first
lilacs in the corrections and additions to be made
to the eiiititig penal law. synch would necessarily
introduce the discu•sion of all the questions includ-

The KEEPER of the SEA These are import-
ant details, and, as it appear, td me, Cannot offend
soy body ; two months will have eta* ved berm* the
Report of the Committees it made, ant: it will turn
be necessary to discuss the Report. Cons;de'r.also,
that our debates, far from bring abridged i'or two
years past, have been considerably prolonged. I
wish you also to reflect, that, in discussing tins
additional articles for oil, regulation. which were
nothing but a confirmation of articles. alresuly in
existence, you have spent a fortnight ; and that, iu
the examitintion of • project of law, which o'y in-
cluded a simple morlifieution of the law of 4nr.,
sou have already employed eight days. Consider,
too, there laws must be mitt to the Chamber of
Veers, that it is psissible one. or more of them muy
Ir.! amended. Debates of such a nature may take
up the time of ins entire Setn.ion. Thus in the only
material point sit view. I say, it would slot he jai.
prudent, but nu prneneahle, to circtimseribe the
Cluinilier its such eiarfow limits. I hare hail the
honour to state, that cottritlrratinits of a moral na-
ture appear to nie to throw obstacles sts the way of
this Poi° of prnreerlinz. (feel, what would the
Chamber 110 though not explicitly ?
You would impose on the Crown the necessity of
presenting such a decisive law, after a delay of
it definite period. however difficult or dis-
turbed may he the situation of affairs, however
clouded the political horizoo may be by foreign
or internal events, at • precise day or moment.
Your Committee thought the freedom and dignity
of the Chamber were not sufficiently remelted by
the Administration, when it placed the Chamber in
such a situation as of necessity to adopt the law of
censorship, bemuse the law of restraint bad not
been brought forward. I think Ministers are justi-
fied on this seeming, by observing that the choice
of i tone at which the law should be presented
decidedly belonged to the Crown. These are the
moral considerations which are united with obstacles
of a material nature in opposition to the proposed
aineedinent. With regard to the present penal
law, it wis• originally 'coefficient. and it is useful ill
order to give the Government time to make better
laws of restraint, as pos,ilile as they may prove effi-
cacious, that you grunt it the latitude which it re-
quires."
Al. de Bunt. would vote in fawner of the amend-
mum, on the ground of the use Alissistess mode of
the censorship when placed in their hands,

AlEsTsma spoke against the amendment,
sod said iw would propose ■ more t ffectual men_
sure. The question of the liberty of the press will
not be really decided until a majority at the Cham-
ber shall here afforded Government the most effec-
tual support. The Opposition might, by sheen%
more devotion to monarchy nod leeitioaney, have
assumed a more rloated *Wino. It has hot pus-
seem(' either the necessary prudence or patriotism.

ought likewise to adopt the amendment ; for what
,smote effectual means could they employ to bring
you over to their opinions, than to make the
solemn discussion of a law of restraint indispen-
sable at the approaching Session ; a discussion
which, according to them, ought to produce
in every body that conviction with which they
are themselves impressed, by establishing, be-
yond all doubt, the necessity of a perpetual censor-
ship. For if the journals have nothing to do with
the Charter, they should be constantly submitted to
the censorship. What can be more ridiculous than
at the end of each Seosion to effect an a 1111 l set pro-
longation 10 ant undettrond manner ? It would be
better, certainly, to finish with the
journals once

in paying a just tribute to Ministers individually, I am
grieved to find the present Adminietration as a body retain-
ing something of the 'infield ministerial spirit. I shell at all
'limn refrain from addressing to them this reproach —You
bale the Royalist.! I will not upbraid, hot complain; I
will brim to their recollection the 'Metter contracted between
all Royalists, the banner under which they have mooched, the
rause fur which they have fought. Should we not be able to
recision with one of our greatest POCts-
‘ We should think it haired to be faintly loved.'
The grounds which the Minister of the Interior has slated,
io my opinion, were more adepted to cause the rijeetian
than the adoption of the project of law. It is not on account
of the motives he has urged, but quite the contrive, !het I
Ville for the adoption of the project of law with the amend.

M. DE VA riDOUYR E. opposed the amendment, which
be considered as sit encroachment upon the royal preens'.
sive. You will not be more moved than I have been by inn
assertion, that tbe Charter leaves Gill power for the esta-
blishment of a censorship of the public j.surnnts ; for the
Keeper of the Seals, who was once • lawyer (smiles and
murmurs), knows very well that whenever e law dispsnes of
say thine is. • general way, when, for iostuace, it grains ibe
privilege of printing and publishing one's opinions trimly.
by that alone such law excepts not any means of peblies-
tient, but autborises every oar. Thee:lower having made no
exception either of the j Is, or of pamphlets, or of
any one species of wining, does not, therrhoe, allow of
a censorship for any one. The Chamber will lint Gel itself
hound even by the opinion delivered by one Hon. President ,st
ISI7. At that lime, and in • discussion 00 a law respecting Ott
ceneorship, he said, that there was no more mire, or more
faithful interpreter of the Charter than time King who gave it.
