STOCKHOLM. DECEMBER 21.
.From the usual annual reports relative to the
harvest, it appears that it is only in the provinces of
Upland, Malmochus, Nerike, and A laud, that the
corn harvest has filmed out favourably. In the
northern provinces it has-universally failed.
From the Report of the Board of Custom., it
seems that the net amount of the duties, &c. in 1820
'41,6 416,740 TM dollars less than in 1819. Among
the causes of this decrease are—lst, that on account
etthe increased duty very little eons was imported-

Vaulted to the city of StUckholin, a large quantity

ness of the measures to ptevrnt contraband, only
half as much had beets received for confiscations and

LON DON,

MONDAY, -ANUAILY 7, 1822.

We have received Paris Papers of Thursday last.
A paragraph taken from an Augsburg Paper, dated
the 26th of December, asserts that the Austrian
Legation at Munich had received official communi-
cation that the Russians had declared war against
Turkey. A report to the same effect prevailed
in Hamburgh at the departure of the latest
advimi from that city, and by the repetition
of it on 'Change lust Saturday, in the City,
produced some effect upon our funds. The
truth of the statement must be determined in a
few hours.—The French Ministers have at length
brought forward their legislative measure for the
proposed regulation of the public press. A copy
of the project will be found among the extracts
from these papers. This law, in conformity with
the early promisee of the new Ministers, affects
to reject the previous censorship, but it costs
upon it a look so lingering and so affectionate,
that it is impossible not to feel how gladly the
iklinisters would consign to forgetfulness the hasty
expressions with which, before their elevation to
power, they sought to discredit it. Thus we find
in the fourth article that if, in the interval of the
Session of the Chambers, circumstances should
arise to render the measures now proposed for re-
pression and guarantee iiiinifficient, the Censorship
shall be immediately restored by the power of a
Royal Ordinance, countersigned by three Mi-
nisters. A door so wide for the adiniseion of arbi-
trary power would not be now proposed to be
left open, if those who formed the• system did
not contemplate the probability of their soon
perceiving the expediency of turning it to their
advantage. And yet it might almost be imagined
that the previous provisions of the saute law would
preserve the Government from the necessity of
embracing such a measure; fur they throw a
moral restraint upon the free action of the press as
potent as could he eff,cted by the Censorship
itself. No journal except those which at present
exifo can henceforth appear without the permission
of the Government. For every distinct offence the
authors of the libels, or the proprietors of the jour-
nals, will, of course, be liable to prosecution ; but
should the spirit or teridency of any journal ha re-
garded as dangerous to the institutions of the
country, the [loyal Courts shall hive the power,
after soltlllll coosideratioo, of su,peuiling or sup-
pressing the incorrigible publication. The Cham-
ber of Deputies was violently, and indeed in-
decently agitated by the reading of this pro-
ject, The Members on the left side frequently
,tted the Keeper of the Scala by comment.
:he despotic spirit winch seemed to dictate
measure, and as the proceedings in the Chant-
!sent a delectable specimen of the legisla-
qnper and wisdom of MM. les Deplais,
thought it right to preserve the report.
esidetit found it often impossible to procure
tg for the Minister, and the frequent ring-
his bell, with the addition of his repeated
trances, slaw how deeply the Members of the
her sinned against the orders that are framed
Ante the assembly. If, as it has been said,
present Ministers obtained their seats in the
by flattering the wishes of the left side of
amber, and hoped to maintain their audio-
the same assistance, they must now cease to

ite upon such support. They have shocked the
ices and principles of all the liberaux in the
:lumber, and have beet) made the objects of their
sneciss and more serious censures. The
