By a recent statute, the liberty of the press has been
aablished in Portugal, upon liberal principles.
This statute contains 03 articles, and of course elms
races a great variety of details.
The first article declares that every Portuguese, after
'the publication of this law, may print, publish, buy, or
ell in the state of Portugal, any books, or writings,
+idiom private censorship. The second article beCOll5
ithe copyright of original works, or translations to indisi
!ritual autnors; or their heirs, for 10 years, and to literal
cieties for 70 years. The property thus constituted
tin literary procluctinns is protected from the violations of
iiierary iiiraey, by providing that itersons who pirate a
work shall lose all the copies of it„ and if they do not
amount to a thousaud, pay for the deficiency. The
north article provides, that every work printed in the
times of Portugal shall hear due date of the impression,
and the name of the printer. 'chilly milrees is the poi.
natty for a breach of this enactment. The seventh
article imposes on the author or editor, or in case they
are not forthcoming, upon the printer of any work, res-
ponsibility for any abuses of the press which it may ex-
hibit in cases determined by thesubsequent provisions of
the statute. The publisher or bookseller is also resistor
tide for such books, prints, or stamps as they sell though
executed abroad. The second title of the law relates to
the abuses of the liberty of the press, and their corres-
ponding petialties.—These abuses says the Sib article,
may be couttutiti d-1. Against the Roman Catholic
religion. 2. Against the state. 3. Against good morals.
4. Against individuals. The liberty of the press is atiosed
ati the case of religion, when the whole or ally one of
its doctrines are denied ; whets false doctrines are stated
and defended ; or when the name of God and his sabots
is blasphemed. The first case inters a punishment of
one year's imprisonment and a fine of 50 milrees; the
second a punishment of eight months' imprisonment and
fifty indices; the third, four months' iiiirrisonnient and
fifty nulrees ; and the fourth, a penalty or titty milrees
only. The Lberty of the press is abused where the State
is concerned-1. By exciting the people directly to re-
bellion. 2. By provoking them directly to disobey the
laws, or the constituted authorities. 3. By attacking the
form of representative government adopted by the 'lotion.
4. By defaming or insulting the 1131.1011.11 Congress, or
the Chief of the Executive. The first species of sedi-
,ious publication is visited with five years impri-
sonment and a fine of 600 milrees ; die second with three
;ears' imprisonment and a fine of 100 milrees; the third
with one years' imprisonment and a fine of 200 milrees,
tint the fourth with three months' imprisonment. and
100 indices of a fine. Public morals may be outraged
—l. By publications attacking the Christian morality
the universal church, and 2. liy obscene prints or
do. The offence in the first case infers a fine of 50
rilrees ; and in the second of 40, 30, or 20 milrees. The
liberty of the press may he abused against lathe itials,—
ist, by imputing to them crimes which might be made
the subject of criminal proceedings, which is to be
visited by a fine of 100 milrees; 2uly, by imputing to
- vices or defects which may expose theta to public
tired or contempt, which is punished by a fine of 50
milrees; and 3dly, by assaulting them in terms of con-
tempt or ignominy, which may be punished with 60
Besides this protec.ion, individuals attacked by
the abuses of the press, may It.LVC redress by a Cll.ll suit.
The igth article, which follows immediately the pro-
isions just enumerated, is extremely important, and
deserves the same serious consideration tit all who would
'legislate anew on the subject of the press. it is hence-
forth no libel in Portugal to publish offensise truth, for
truth may be pleaded as a complete justification. It Is
needless to mention how opposite this is both to die
spirit and practice of our law, %%here the defendant on
his trial liter libel is never allowed to bring proof in sup-
'rt of fits statements, and where a has been sometimes
innounced as all axiom—" die greater the truth, the
;Treater the libel." The hillowhig are the words of the
'article :—" lie shall be exempt from punishment who
who can prove the crimes imputed, when they ore
against the state, or consist in buses of authority, cow.
mined by a public functionary, and in other cases,
when the fact imputed shall hate been plotted, in au
anterior judgment, there being no iticlinatiosi to offend."
The next title of the statute relates to the court ap-
pointed for the trial of hart. The cognizance of offences
of Una pressis committed to councils of judges of tact,
rvht, ti arc to be created for this purpose in cereal,'
districts pointed out in a table attached to the statute.
In each of these districts there are to be two councils
d judges of tact; one coits:stitig of nine, and the other
,d twelve. •1.0 each OICTe shat be a judge of tight or
law. They are to co..,ist mat Iv of tile same class of
persons, and to h etfhim geneially the saute Intuitions,
as our juries. Tile 1110l1C of lit COII4 the judges Of fact,

cedure in which they figure, are extremely complicated,
and would excite iii their details little 111ter, St allioog
