But having, for a time, succeeded in stopping free discus-
sion'in France, the hero of the coup d'etat seeks to force .
the mesh-eirofiiiityraiaty across the English Channel.
His agent talks of dissemination of "false newo;" •but it
is not false news that offende, but true. •Is the story of
the coup d'elat" false news?" Is the tragedy of the un-
armed Parisians shot down by thousands in the Streets

"false news?" Yet these are the things that have made
the 'free journals of this country couple Louis Napo-
leon's name with those terms that snake him anxious
to expel English writers from France, and these are
things let him remember which have become part of the .
sad story of the fine country he now holds in bondage.
If no other news came from Paris for a century, here is
a catalogue Intl enough of texts for volumes of written
condemnation. Bat does Louis Napoleon think it pos-
sible for him to expel every Englishman from France?
Because until he does so he may rely upon it the Daily
News and the other London daily papers will have in-
telligenco of all that happens there. If our present cor-
respondent were expelled to=morrow we have another
ready cu the instant to fill his post. Let him expel a
second—and a third will epriug up. There are Feench-
mce, too, as well as Englishmen, ready for such emer-
gencies. If the President carries on this system, as each
writer is expelled he wilt find "another and another
will succeed." Faithful to the laws that rule other things
the demand for men ready to carry on the important mis-
sion of the Press will secure a supply. We shall, therefore,
despite police arrangements, be ever able to learn the
truth, about what is being done in the capital of great
and enlightened, bat now enslaved and unhappy France.
So long as this journal is faithful to that cause which it
was founded to promote, and from which it has never
yet swerved, co long will no threats and no fear of
consequences prevent it from speaking what is known
to be the truth. Foreign Governments shall be sub-
jected in its columns to the same free and wholesome
criticism employed in discussing oar home affairs. The
sins of the Elyt€ 3 equally with those of Naples or of
Russia shall be denounced as fearlessly and openly as
they deserve to be, and tyranny and injustice shall still
be called by their true names—tyranny and 'reins:ice—,
and nothirg less. We wish to say nothing that is
false—we will never conceal anything that is true. Ja
England we have the great privilege of enjoyieg that
freedom of the press which Milton claimed, and which
so many have since suffered to secure—a freedom of the
press subject always to the law. That law, if we say
aught illegal or wrong, is ever ready to do justice to
the really injured; that law is open to Louis Napo-
leon as it was open to Napoleon Bonaparte. To it
we owe respect, and by it we aro ready to
abide. But whilst we enjoy this wholesome
liberty of the press, the hero of the coup d'etat may rely
upon this, that though truth may be strangled in Paris,
and may be whispered only in Belgium, it will yet be
told fully and aloud by the press of London. His pc).
lice agent talks of " false news." This is the old sham.
" Fele news" was the plea when Charles 11. put down
the press that had grown up under the commonwealth;
" false news" was the ezcuae under which James 11. of
England, and Charles X, and Louis Philippe of France,
commenced their persecutions of the press. But these
three kings wore all overthrown by the very victim they
selected for their insane wrath—newspapers were retio
mach for them, -ss 'each had leisure to discover in exiie.
And why? Because the press in its integrity has be-
come a necessity of modern civilization—becattse us its
integrity it is a thing the world daily wants and
want-
ing will have. Prevented from freedom of narration
and freedom of criticism its integrity is gene, and it
'becomes a dead, gaunt, hollow sham—like .h
this hour in Paris. And with such a Soullessa.tlong corpse a
of his predecessors—fearful of truth e content. Two

Napoleon knows his fate.--Daily the press. Louis
