LONDON,
ilto ND Al; FE BR UARY 4, 1822.

We received yesterday the French Papers et

Thursday, from which we give Extracts in a
preCeding column. In the Chamber of Deputi°s7
on Wednesday, the whole of the Sitting was 0C
copied in considering the 7th and Bth Articles of
the Law for repressing Offences of the Press.--
The 7th Article subjects the Editors of Journals
and periodical Writings, for inaccurate reports
and wilful misrepresentations of the proceedings

n the Legislative Chambers and Courts of La'i•,

to a fine of from 1,000 to 6,000 francs for the
first offence ; and for the second offence, or i"
the event of the report being insulting to both
or either of the Chambers, or to one of tie
_Members of either Chamber, or abusive of th'
Court, the Bench or one of the Magistrates,
Jury Men, or Witnesses, the offenders are, be-
sides paying the fine, to be condemned to an im-
prisonment of from one month t) three year-l•

In the latter case, the Proprietors or Editors
of the condemned .journal or periodical writint
may also be interdicted fi•orn publishing the prn-
ceedings in the Chambers and Courts in feure•
On this article the Committee proposed an
amendment, that the interdict should be either
for a limited time or perpetual, at the discretion
of the Court. M. DAUNOU proposed an amend-
ment, importing that the parties concerned
writing or inserting the obnoxious article' shovl4
be subject collectively to a fine of from 1,000 to
3,000 francs, and individually to imprisom-nents
for periods of from one month to one year. After
a long discussion, marked by the sarnc inteirar
tions and personalities as the former debates on

this law, and productive of little novelty in- nr:
gument, this and several other ami.nciments were
rejected, and the 7th Article, as amended by the
Committee, was adopted.

The Bth Article subjects to imprisonment from
fifteen days to two years, and to a fine of frclo
100 to 4000 francs, 1. Seditious cries pubii:'lt
uttered. 2. 'l'l►e removal or degradation of file
public signs of the Royal Authority, dot.• in
hatred or contempt of that authority. :3. T 1

Police. 4. The exposure in public places, and
the distribution, or offering for sale, of signs or
symbols, designed to propagate the spirit of re-
bellion, or to disturb the public peace. The Com-
mittee proposed to mitigate the penalties suggest-
ed by this article, and to make a separate article
of the first paragraph, subjecting to imprisonment
froth six days to two years, and to a fine of from
16 to 4000 francs seditious cries publicly
uttered. The Committee also proposed to
form the last three paragraphs into another
article with additional words, subjecting the
offenders coming within the meaning of those
Paragraphs to imprisonment from fifteen days to
two years, and to a fine of from 100' to 4,000
francs. This article, as separated and amended
BY the Committee, was unanimously adopted,
and the Chamber afterwards adjourned.
