FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITO any of your readers can give
information on the following subject, it will he
highly gratifying to an Inquirer who wishes to
know more of the Olden Times, and be news to
many inhabitants of London :
Ilow many years is it since Divine Service, or,
as it was then called, early prayers (at five or six
o'clock in the morning) has been discontinued in
the Chapel or Cut under St. Paul's ?
About 25 or 30 years back, the service was
performed only once a year ; many persons, no
doubt, are alive, who remember the.above ; the
leading desk covered with embroidered red vel-
vet, or cloth, but in great decay, was visible at
that period. The Chapel was dedicated to St.
Faith. Your obedient servant,

WESLEYAN MISSIONS.—The Annual Meeting
of the Queen-street Branch Missionary Society
--was held in the Great Queen-street Chapel' ou
Monday evening, JOSEPH BUTTRWORTHi 'Esq.
M.P. in the Chair. By. the Report made at the
meeting of Missions, conducted by the Parens
Society, it appeared that the Society have
extensive Missions in the West Indies among
the Negroes, in Ceylon and Continental India,
in West and South Africa, New South Wales,
Van Dieman's Land, and other parts of the world.
It was stated that the Society employs in this
work one hundred and ,fifty Missionaries, intlq-
pendent of Catechists .and other subordinato
agents ; and that the number of persons con-
nected with them in religious society on the
above Missions, is upwards of 28,000, who,
for the most part, have been converted from Pa-
L;anism. The number of , children taught the
principles of Christianity and useful knowledge
in the schools connected with those Missions,
and superintended by the Missionaries,A was
stated to be in the island of Ceylon .5,000.; in
the West ,Indies, 4,227; and in the island of
Newfoundland, 987. The contributions to.-She
Parent Society were last year upwards of 42.6"0/.
being upwards of 2,0001. more than hatibeen
raised for these benevolent purposes iil any 4. for-
mer year ; but still leaving the general' treasury
considerably in advance owing to the extent-of
the Society's operations.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, JAN. 19.

PROJECT OF LAW ON THE POt.ICE OF THE PRESS.

NI. de Martignac appeared in the tribune.—
Tbe Committee which you directed to examine
the law on the periodical Press has appointed me
to lay before you its report. Before examining
the law, it will not be improper to take a.
view of periodical writings considered in their
relations to the general interest. I-do not pre-
tend to .dispute the advantages which may
be expeilenced in France by the publication
of politiCal journals. In a country in which
all citizens take a part in public affairs, and
in which liberty prevails, it is proper that
the acts of the government, important events,
and all useful truths, should be comrnunicat-
vd to all persons. This daily review of the ac-
tions of authority, this constant summons of power
before public opinion, has a real advantage which
I readily recognize. It must not be concluded,
however, that in a Government such as ours, the
existence of public journals is necessary for pre-
serving the rights of citizens. Where the right
of petition is secured—where the tribune is free
and public—where the state -of the judicial
po.ver assures the administration of justice—
where every individual may print his opinions,
the journals cannot be considered as necessary
orgarts. They are useful auxiliaries, convenient
mediums for publication, and have become, either
from the nature of our Government, or the force
of habit, a kind of want which ought to be
satisfied.

Having thus stated the advantages, it is proper
to consider the dangers,of public journals. They
are generally undertaken as speculations of in-
dustry which have profit for their object : and
-under this point of view the interest of these en-
terprises is necessarily in opposition to the ge-
neral interest.—(A slight movement.)—The ge-
neral interest is connected with public order,
external peace, submission to the laws, and
the union of the people. The interest of jour-
nals, on the contrary, is in agitation, in perma-
nent disquietude, expectation, and curiosity
the monotonous order of peace is mortal to them.
When the passions shall be calmed, when long-
exiled concord shall re-unite men, then the en-
terprises of journals will be deprived of the
means of existence. I am ready to acknowledge,
that there are writers equally honourable and
able, whose pens are guided by conscience, and
-who have no other object but the public good;
but how many others are actuated by different
motives. It is easy and agreeable to speak to
the passions ; then journalists are sure to be read.
it must be frankly confessed, because it is a
truth which we neither need nor wish to dissem-
ble, that the proposed law still restrains the un-
coqtrouled publication of journals, and does not
entirely free the periodical press. Are regulations
of this kind contrary to the Charter ? We are
&I sensible that our institutions ought to be
founded on it. That Charter is as dear to us as
the hand by which it was given ; we confound in
this affection the benefit and the benefactor ;
and our respect for the Charter can only be com-
pared to our love for the King.—(Marks of ap-
probation on the right.)—lf, then, the Charter had
placed the free publication of journals above the
law, we should have regretted to find this germ
of dissolution in a work of wisdom ; but we
sho•ild have refrained from committing a direct
attack on the basis of the edifice which our vows
tend to preserve. This prohibition, however, is
not in the Charter. The right of printing his
opinion is secured to every Frenchman by the
law. That right is not affected by this project ;
it relates only to journals and periodical writ-
and it would be doing violence to the
Charter to extend to journals, without restric-
Oons, the right consecrated by article 8.
We shall be told to look at England, and follow
her example; but the answer is easy. Let years of
revolutions and misfortunes be effaced ; let re-
, collections and hatreds be extinguished ; let us
wait mail we have institutions consolidated by
time, until we acquire an opposition stern but not
hstile, and with which the existence of the mo-
narchy may not be daily compromised.—(A vio-
lent explosion of murmurs. MM. A. St. Aignan,
Lafitte, de St. Aulaire, &c., spoke amidst the
tumult.)

10. B. Constant—This is an insult to the Chamber. The op-
position: neither endangers the Charter nor the Monarchy.
J. C. Poricr —You attack the opposition. Explain your
phraFt,. we do not understand it.
u 3 Martignac—There is no question about the Chamber.
It to the nation.

Ni. Pcrier—Let the Reporter recommence ;we fear we
hi:ve misunderstood him.

M. de Martignac proceeded.—lt may then be
said that our political Constitution is as strong as
that of Enland, and that our press shall, like
the English, be.free. The Reporter then pointed
out the inefficiency of the law of 1419, and the
facility with which it was eluded. It was wished
to regulate liberty, but it was found that only
licentiousness had been organized. In vain did
able and prudent writers point to reason and
truth as beacons and guides. Torches shed
more light than the flambeaus, and the fury of
parties prefers the flame which burns to that
which enlightens.—(Marks of approbation on
therig,ht and centre).— You recollect, Gentlemen,
the hatreds which have been revived, and the
vengeances which have been excited. The con-
flagration was begun, and it required the blood
of a French Prince to extinguish it.—(A violent
explosion on the right. Several voices—a They
knew well how to' take advantage of that disas-
ter.l—Alarmed • at the sight of that blood, the
Government asked your assistance. You granted
it, and the COnsorship' apposed to the torrent a
dike which it could not overthrow. I do not
justify the abuse which the Government made
of the Censorship.— (Laughter.)—Since that

epoch, however, France has - made immense'
progress towards internal calm and the ter-
mination of our dissensions.—( Violent mur-
murs on the left.) The law proposed has no
retroactive effect. Having stated sonic amend-
ments in the first and second articles, the Re-
porter proceeded to the third, which states that
in case the spirit and general tendency of a peri-
odical writing or journal should be injurious to
public peace, to the respect due to the religion
of the State, and other religions recognized in
France, or to the King's authority, &c., the
ltoyal Courts, within the jurisdiction of which
such journal is published, may suspend it or
suppress it. This article deserves to be con-
sidered with attention. In France there is too
much ability in those who write, and too much
intelligence and aptitude to comprehend in those
who real for any law to provide against al!
dangerouf and criminal attacks. What mischief
may not be produced by dexterous allegories, by
perfidious comparisons, and by stories in which
nothing need be changed but the names of the
actors, and the plan of the scenes. These words
" spirit and general tendency," it will be said,
are very vague : but it is vagueness which con-
stitutes all the force and all the necessity of
the law. (A. number of voices on the left,
4C Wonderful ! There is no dissembling here.")
However, to render the matter as clear as pos-
sible to those who may have to apply the
law, your Committee proposes to suppress the
words " general tendency," which add nothing
to the word " spirit ;" and which even seem to
weaken it.—(Laughter.)—The Committee also
thinks it proper that the spirit of a journal should
be judged, not by a single paper, but from a se-
ries of papers. It therefore proposes to add to
the word " spirit" these words, " resulting from
a succession of articles."—(More laughter.)—
The reporter then insisted on the advantage of
intrusting the execution of the law to the Royal
Courts. Some persons, however, in examining-I
this article, had conceived that it contained a
violation of the most respectable rights. The
odious word " confiscation" had been pronounced,
and some appeared to consider the suppression
of a journal as an attack on the rights of
property. There was, •however, no confisca-
tion. The generous philanthrophy of our King
had erased that odious privilege from our codes,
and it has nothing in common with the suppression
of a journal recognized to be dangerous to the
public safety. The fourth article provides, that if
during the adjournment of the Chambers, impor-
tant circumstances should render the established
measures momentarily insufficient, the laws of
the 31st March, 18'21, may be restored to vigour
by a Royal Ordinance, countersigned by three
Ministers. The Committee has thought proper
to preserve this article. The King is empowered
by the Charter to issue ordinances necessary for
the safety of the State. 'Convinced of the insuf-
ficiency of the best combined measures of re-
pression, at moments of crisis, your Committee
proposes the adoption of the measure proposed
by the Government. But as a security that it
shall only be exercised temporarily and condi-
tionally, the Committee propose to add, that the
ordinance which establishes the preventive laws
shall be discussed in a Council of Ministers.—
(Long laughter on the left.)—Such, Gentlemen,
is the opinion of your Committee. It has fore-
seen the difficulties to be encountered, but hav-
ing no interest to consult but that of religion, the
Monarchy, and true liberty', it has but one hope
to form--that of their preservation.—(Cries of
bravo on the right.)

Several Deputies ran ,to the tribune, in order to have their
names inscribed tor speaking on the project.
The following names were taken down to speak for it :
MM. de Courtarvel, de Frenily, Duhamel, Josse-Beauvoir,
Syrieys, Cornet-Dincourt, Buzire, Pavy, de Marcellus, Don-
nadieu, Clauzel, de Cayrol, Kergorlay (Mainche), 011ivier
(Drome), Lafond, de Cardonnel, de Puymaurin, de Bonald.
Against it, MM. Ganilh, de Basseterreche, Humblot-Conte,
Labbey de Pompieres, Laisne de Villeveque, le General Gran-
jean, l3arrieux, Bignon, de Saint-Aignan (Auguste), de Chau-
velin, de Thiard (le Comte), Cassaignolles, de Girardin, Brun

The President—The Chamber orders the report to be printed
and distributed. A day must be fixed for the discussion.
M. de Saint Aulaire—l mean to speak on the question for
printing.
The President.—l cannot allow that. The printing is a
matter of course. _ _

111. de Girardin—You do not know what may be proposed.
M. de Saint Aulaire—l propose to refer to the regulations.
Voice on the left—Take the opinion of the Chamber. That
is your duty.
President—The duty which the President has to perform is
imperative. The regulation only allows the Chamber the
power of ordering or not ordering the printing of law projectS.
With respect to the reports of committee, it Is expressly stated
that they shall always be printed and distributed, at least 24
hours before the debate.

M. de Saint Aulaire passed through the group of orators
who were getting their names inscribed, and ascending the Tri.
m bu said, c‘ It is on an appeal to the regulation that I am
about to speak. The regulation declares by a formal provision,
that nothing shall be said at this Tribune insulting either to the
whole or part of the Chamber."—(Violent murmurs on the
right.) _

Several voices—Where have you discovered an insult ?
M. de Saint Aulaire—l am within the meaning of the regu-
lation, when 1 propose that before the Report be printed,
some expressions offensive to part of this Chamber shall be
erased.—(Tumult.),- I do not intend to discuss the Report.—
The Reporter has allowed a phrase susceptible of an offensive
application to escape him. It becomes our duty that we should
reject it. The phrase was, " you will acquire an opposition ri-
gorous, but not hostile,who will not daily put to hazard the ex-
istence of the Monarchy."
Voice on the right—What can ()find you in that phrase ?
N. de Saint Aulaire—ln the legal, in the legislative sense,
when the word *ppm Pion is used in the Chamber, it necessa-
rily applies to all the members who do not vote with the majo-
rity.—(Negative murmurs)—l require the erasure of this pas-
sage. The word " opposition" certainly refers to these who do
not habitually vote with the Ministry, and the Reporter found
himself obliged to state that he did not mean to speak of the
Chamber, but of the nation.
Voice on the left—And that was still worse. •
M. de Saint Aulaire wished to continue, but was interrupted
by increasing murmurs.'
A Member on the left appealed to the President to silence
the Members who were causing the interruption. He ob-
served, that the President alone had the right of interrupting a
Member.

The President—lt is true that no one ought to interrupt ;
but the Member who makes this observation reminds me that
the speaker has entirely deviated from the regulation, for it
allows no discussion on a report on the day on which it is pre-
sented.

M. de Lametli—What ! do you not permit the grounds of
an opinion to be stated ?
Lalitte—The President abuses his power.
Other voices—This is shocking! It is always the same system.
M. de Saint Aulaire, after persisting in his proposition, de-
scended from the tribune amidst a great noise.
The President—The regulations do not allow the discussion
of the report on the day when it is presented.—(Cries from the
left side—i< We 4.1,0 not wish to discuss. Our object is to rectify
errors, and to blot out injurious expressions.")
Murmurs now burst forth from both sides of the Chamber,
which smothered the voice of the President, and even the sound
cf his bell. After a pause, the PreSident announced that the

order of the day was the discussion cif the project relative to the
repression of the offences of the pres:3;,aiicl that M. Corcelles
had the precedence.
M. Corcelles accordingly ascended the tribune, amidst the
profound silence of the tribunes, which were tilled with spec-
tators; but the interior of the Chamber: was not so attentive.
The President entreated the members to take their places, and
to keep silence. Several members called out for a previous vote
on the printing of the report just presented. The President
said, he should not consult the Chamber on a point which was
perfectly clear ; it was a standing order that the report should
be printed, and this required no discussion.
M. Lafitte, and several other members of the left side, pro-
tested against this manner of proceeding.
The President insisted that they must be very ignorant who
supposed that tire language of the report could 1. altered with-
out exciting discussion. He then repeated that M. Corcelles
was to begin. . .

The Members on the left side called out that he was not to
begin.; and demanded a vote on the printing of the repel t.
The President repeated, that the order of day was the dis-
cussion of the project on the offences of the press.

M. B. Constant observed, that this was 'to insult the Cham-
ber. Other voices called out to M. Coreelles, " Wait ; do not
begin yet." The greatest agitation was evident in all parts of
the Chamber; and some called out to M. Nartignac to mount
the tribune.

The President—M. Corcelles alone has a right to speak.
M. Foy—l ask to speak against the President.
The President—A few days ago I allowed a member to speak
against the President, and the Chamber very explicitly express-
ea its opinion on this point. I now hold fast to the text of the
standing order. It is for M. Corcelles to speak.

After a violent explosion on both sides of the
house, which lasted for some time, M. Corcelles
was at length allowed to proceed. He began by
stating that a faction opposed to the real wishes
of the people would overturn the established
laws, and endeavour to make new ones—no
matter how severe—in order to cement a power
sometimes ridiculous, but more frequently atro-
cious.—(Murmurs on the right.)—Woe to the
people who should suffer this humiliating chain.
Reason, justice, and public opinion would by
such men be soon trampled under foot. It was
the misfortune of France that the cause of power
was placed in hostile array against the public
cause. Hence this deluge of Draconian laws,
which were now, blow after blow, to overwhelm
this wretched country. Yet, but a few days ago
these very men, when out of power, pretended a
sincere hatred of oppression : they pet on the
appearance of public spirit ; but under this mask
they were concealing the sword which was to
give the last blow to the rights of France. Now
the mask is 'raised, they know ❑ot how to be
quick enough in overturning the little remnants
of our liberties. We (meaning the left side)
have done all in our power to save our country
from this last abasement. We shall do all that
remains for us to do—we shall remain firm in the
day of peril, as we were on former occasions
when our liberties were equally tndangered.—
(Laughter on the right; and on the left, cries of
" Bravo" and " Laugh now at your ease.")—
M. Corcelles then went on to discuss the report,
and after a long and detailed reprobation of the
new project, he concluded as follows :—" I
know not how the Chamber will act, but what-
ever may 'be its decision, it has doubtless taken
care to calculate the quantity of public resist-
ance. The resisting mass in our country is im-
mense ; let it once be yoked to this car of re-
pression, its course can never be stopped ; and
you, soon undeceived, will find too late that you
are defeated. Ministers much stronger and no
less rash than our present, ones, have been forced
to give way ere now. Terror is the active prin-
ciple of this system : so it has been twice before,
and twice in vain. On the first occasion, when
the people were exhausted by an impious war;
on the second, when foreign armies endeavoured
to keep down a people, who could only be ex-
hausted by their own repeated victories. This
game will do no longer. One terror, ala Met-
ternich, is enough.—(Bravos on the left.)—The
people and the army will never again be brought
to submit to such juggling.
M. Duplessis Grenedan thought that severe
measures were now more than ever necessary,
when the most horrible libels were scattered
over Paris, insulting, in the most barbarous man-
ner, the memory of Louis XVI., and mocking
the grief and eternal regret of all good French-
men. After a short invocation to that departed
Monarch, he added, that he thought the law was
not sufficiently severe. He next contended that
the Catholic religion was not the religion of the
State, because it was so called by the Chamber,
but from the nature of things.—(Here great mur-
murs on the left interrupted the Speaker, as he
proceeded to express a wish that a more marked
distinction should be drawn between the punish-
ments inflicted on those who insulted the Catholic
religion, which was the only true one, and on
those who insulted other religions.)—He then
argued at considerable length on the necessity of
maintaining the dignity of the higher classes of
the State.—(ln this part of his discourse, the
voice of the Speaker, naturally weak, was fre-
quently smothered by the private conversations
in different parts of the Chamber. The presi-
dent, in vain, called upon the Chamber to be
attentive ; the Ushers vainly endeavoured to
procure silence; the Speaker went on without
being listened to; and the right side was much
less attentive than the left.)—After concluding
in favour of the project, M. Duplessis Grenedan
descended from the tribune.

M. Etienne then ascended the tribune, and
spoke at great length against the project. After
an animated exordittin, in which he severely de-
nounced the factious sect who wished to interpret
the Charter, as they interpreted the Gospel, by
travestying the one and the other, he asked what
was the meaning of the doctrine sti eagerly main-
tained at a late sitting, that " all power was
not derived from the charter ? " What after-
thought was here concealed ? What design was
here contemplated ? Such a doctrine, so loudly
cheered, so earnestly insisted on, could not be
considered as mere barren language, which tlied
at the foot of the tribune when it was uttered.—
If, then, the declaration was not mere empty
sound, it was of fatal import. Let those who
made it explain themselves without reserve.—
When it was argued that the power which
granted the Charter was superior to the Charter,
was it meant to' be insinuated that this power
could destroy the Charter ? If so, then nothing
was secure; nothing was certain : anarchy was
at hand. You will say that this is not your
meaning. To what purpose, then, your mani-
festo ? What sort of power is that of which the
exercise is either impossible or illegal ? The
Charter is equally binding for the power which
gave it, and for the people who receive it : it is

the. link which attaches the Throne to the nation ;
neither one nor the other can break it, without a
violent separation equally destructive to both.--
(" Bravo," from the left.)—lte conjured the
Chamber to be vigilant': the constant enemies of
the Charter, from time to time, changed their
mode of attack : they first began by undermin-
ing the principles on which the inviolability of
the Charter depended : the.y then with open force
assail it with subversive laws ; and endeavour to
make the Chamber, whose very existence sprung
from the Charter, the accomplice of its own de-
struction. He concluded by asking—What was
the main object of the Charter ?—the sanction-
ing of the principles of a Representative Go-
vernment—of the intervention of the social com-
munity in the business of the State. How was
this intervention exercised ? By the publicity
which at once enlightened and defended it. To
destroy that publicity was, then, to destroy the
Representative Government —to destroy the
Charter.—(Applause on the left.)
The Sitting, at a quarter past five, was ad-
journed till Tuesday.

STOCKHOLM, DEC. 12.—Our official accounts
from St. Petersburgh bring us the news that the
English Ambassador had received, by a courier,
a dispatch from Lord Strangford, which contains
the justification of his official conduct ht. the qua-
lity of mediator between Russia and the Porte.
The British Ambassador at St. Petersburgh im-

and it is affirmed that his Imperial Majesty has
received it with interest and satisfaction, leaving
it to the future to realise the hopes which arise
from it.

PETErtsuunatt, DEC. 25.—The Nobility, the
Ministers, the Members of the Council of State,
the Civil and Military Authorities, the Diplo-

pay their respects to his Majesty the Emperor,
on occasion of his birth-day. Te Deum was per-
formed in the Cathedral Church of Cosau, and
the other churches of the capital, and the city
was illuminated in the evening.
Hostilities having broken out between the Bu-

VERNMENT OF INDEPENDENT LIMA.

PATRIOTIC SQUADRON.

The GENERAL-IN.CIIIEF has received the following com-
munications respecting the intrepid action of a part of the boats
belonging to the patriotic squadron, on the 24th of July, in the
bay of Callao :

" Most Excellent Senor,—l have the honour to inform you,
that having observed an opening in the chain and perch which
surrounded the enemy's vessels, I ordered Capt. Crosbie, with
the small boats of the squadron, to capture as many of the
enemy's craft as he could bring off, and anchor in safety, without
the risk of running aground on the bank to the east of the bay.
" I have the satisfaction of enclosing Captain Crosbie's dis.
patch detailing the enterprise ; and of adding to what he states
respecting the good conduct of the officers, my approbation,
not only of them, but also of the manner in which the said
Captain executed that service.

" I'regret that I could not gratify the desire of Captains
Esmonde and Simpson by allowing them to accompany this
expedition ; it being necessary to employ the brigantines they
command on another service.

GOD preserve your Excellency many years.

DESPATCH FROM CAPTAIN CROSBIE.

" O'Higgins frigate, Callao Bay, July 25.

" I have the honour to inform your Excellency, that in pur.
suance of your orders I proceeded at night with a part of the
boats of the squadron, the list of which is enclosed, to Callao
roads. Ilaving turned the chain and perch, the enemy began
a continued fire of musketry, supported by the guns of the
castles.

" In consequence of the great and judiciously directed efforts
of those under my command, we have succeeded in bringing
off, without any loss on our part, three ships and several
launches and other small craft, and in burning two of the
enemy's vessels.
" Capt. Wilkinson, who volunteered his services, accom-
panied me, and gave proofs of great valour and firmness. Per-
mit me, also, to express my approbation of the good conduct
of the officers and men whom your Excellency placed under
my command. _ _ _

The heavy fire of the enemy obliged two neutral ships to'
cut their cables and make sail. I have the honour to be, &c.
