CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
S/TTI Toe 4ra JULY.
,I\l. FAARE 90se to• `make tio.! motion of which
he had eivenThOtice. The liberty of the preSs, he
said, presented an important qnestion; which has
been agitated in various countries, and which has
always been decided-differently, according to titire
and places. It was a question on which France
had at all times adopted only such measures as
were dictated by circumstances ; but sic had never
- been called upon to discuss it in a true point of
view till now, under the „Prince who happily
verns us. It was he who proclaimed the liberty
of ;he presS, on the very day of his glotious entry
into his capital. It was he, who, in the. Bth
article of the charter, has said.—" Frenchmen
have a right to publish and print their opinions,-
hile conforming to the laws which must repress
the abuse of this liberty." •
The question was, would it not be better to pre-
\ vent the evil, than to punish it after-eommission ?
Ile acknowledged that it would be desirable to
abolish the censorial power, that natnral enemy
of freedom of thought and writing ; but dint was
not possible,—it was only' neceAsary to set limits
to the authority of, .the censors,: such was the
only way of reconciling.the• rights of authors with
the interests of the state, of religion, and of mo-
rals. The censorship, with proper, monitications,
might be used, as physicians sometimes employ
- poisons in the composition of their medicines.—
I le must also strongly contend that printers should
lie made responsible. Thus- only a -mound -could
be raised against a torrent of worthless publica-
tions horn so many pamphleteers.
He concluded with moving, that for the more
ample discussion of the subject, it should be sent
to a Committee, who may examine the subject in
all its bearings.
I.'Fame's Motion was unanimously taken into
consideration, and sent to the- bureaux.
- M. Dti-Aot,Atin moved, that a humble Address
be presented to the King, requesting that his Mi-
nisters may forthwith place, under the eyes of the
Chamber a picture of the state of the Kingdom,
under all those views which interest the*Govern-
Went and the general prosperity.
This motion was taken into consideration by
. the Chamber, and will be discussed in the bureaux.
The printing of the speech was negatived by a
small majority. /

Two English Papers of the 30th of June, state
that, " according to letters from Palermo of the
27th of May, Murat means to surrender the king-
. dom of Naples-to its ancient Master, King Ferdi-
nand." The latest Italian Journals_, which gave
Neapolitan intelligence to Bth of June, prove that*
the,report is entirely unfiounded.
• The Moniteur contains a long Order of the Day,
issued from the Ministry of 'War, -for the purpose
of prescribing regulations respecting the prisoners
of war 'returning to France, and more particular-
ly with a view to repress, by severe measures, any
clamours amongst them in favour of Buonaparte.
Under this Order also, no Officer is to be admitted
into the re-formed Regiments, whoseprinciples are
in opposition to tile universal opinion, and who
shall not give some pledge of that noble and ar-
dent devotion which .every true.Froich ;oldies has
always professed for his King.

objects of the mission of Cardinal Gonsalvi to the
Prince Regent is -as to treat on the atfairs of the
Catholics of Ireland.
WARSAW, JUNE 11.—The General of Division
Dombrowski arrived here on the 7th. The prin-
cipal -object of his mission is to send into all the
. departments of the Grand Duchy Officers for en-
listing the Polish soldiers found there. In. his
Proclamation on this subject, we remark the fol-
lowing passage
" The magnanimous Emperor Alexander has left their arms
to the remainder of our army, and has permitted me to return
-with them to our country. Not satisfied with this, he has
even recognised the necessity of increasing the national
force, and has ordered that all the Poles engaged in the late
-.war, and even those made prisoners, shall participate in this'
benefit."
The Emperor Alexander has ordered the resto-
ration of their sequestrated estates to General
Niesolowski, Prince Michael Radzivit, and six
other Lithuanians, who were in the prisons of
i'ranee.
