dean, resolving to confer upon me the freedom of the city.
I regret that I should have been prevented by indisposition
from receiving the honour at the present time, but if the
28th instant would suit the magistrates and town council,
I propose to be in Aberdeen on that day.—l have the honour

PARIS, FRIDAY.

The Moniteur publishes the following :
" Considering Art. 19 of the organic decree of
the 17th Feb., 1852, the following communicated
note has been addressed to the Opinion Nationale :
" The Opinion Nationale, in its number of the
21st inst., published an article which contains the
following paragraph :
" ' I suppose that to-morrow, if in my soul and
conscience, and for the interest of the country, I
should consider it my duty to discuss, not the form
or the principle of the Government, nor the eter-
nal laws of morality and society, but simply an act
of the Minister of the Interior, or even less than
that, a detail of the organisation of the press for
instance, or a simple measure adopted in error
by a sous-chef-de-bureau of that all powerful
aiministration which holds in its hands the life
and death of the journals, I must be either a
hero for my courage, or I must be very sure that
the functionary whose acts I am about to criticise
is himself a hero of justice and abnegation, a Cato,
a Brutus, or an Aristides. If he is only a simple
mortal accessible to the counsels of human weakness,
it is clear that I am nothing but a madman, and
that my journal has lost by my imprudence 50 per
cent. of its value.'

" It is to be regretted that serious writers should
allow themselves to be led away to interpretations
which completely pervert the legislation which they
attack, by setting at nought the respect due to the
law. The Opinion Nationale very well knows that
the journals have a right to discuss the acts of
the Government, and that they make use of
it every day without any risk. It also knows that
the high responsibility of the Minister of the Inte-
rior is directly involved in all decisions connected
with the application of the decree of 17th Fcb.,
1852, and that for the smallest details, as well as
for the whole, his solicitude is everywhere present
as a guaiantee for every interest."
The official journal also publishes the following
article, also relative to the press:—
" Considering Art. 19 of the organic decree of
the 17th Feb., 1852, the following 'communicated'
note has been addressed to the Journal des Villes et

(les Compagnes
" Your journal, in its number of the 20th, ex-
-1): csscs itself us follows with regard to the late acts
of the Government on the law of the press :
We asked for a law, whatever it might be,
because a law is liberty.'
However strange that application may be, the Go-
vernment thinks it right to reply by re-pointing to
the fact that the decree of the 17th Feb., 1852, is
an organic law which had precisely for object to re-
gulate the liberty of the press. The same journal
adds :

"[hat it only requires a momentary want of
thought or an error committed by a subordinate

clerk to, if not compromise, at least disturb, the

existence of a journal.'
"To that allegation made in bad faith it will suffice
to reply that Art. 32 of the ahovenamed decree
states that a journal cannot receive a warning, ex-
cept by a ministerial decision, or be supported in
certain cases determined by the law, except by an
Imperial decree."
The King of the Belgians, accompanied by the
persons of his suite, took an excursion three days
ago across the French frontier, and after having
visited Irun and Fonterabia returned in the even-

ing to Biarritz.
A Paris letter in the Nord says :—" Prince de
de Metternich, if I am well-informed, conveys

to Biarritz propositions which differ from those
addressed by Lord John Russell to the Cabi-
net of Vienna in favour of the principle of non-
intervention in the affairs of Italy. Austria con-
sents to admit that principle, but on condition that
it shall be applied to Piedmont, as well as to every
other foreign State, in case that power should en-
deavour to repel an attempt of the Italian princes
to re-establish their authority. If Piedmont were
to intervene, Austria, it is stated, would exercise
the same right, and her troops would cross the
Mincio. You perceive that this new phase of the
negociations is a delicate one, and may eventually
lead to a resumption of hostilities in Italy. Ido
not yet know what will be the reply of the Em-
peror of the French, but it is not doubtful that if
the Archdukes attack the present government in
Tuscany and Modena, the Piemontese army could
not look quietly on, and' then war would recom-
mence. This is said to be the hope of a certain
party at Vienna. It is true that the policy of
peace triumphs at this moment at that court, but
it is strongly opposed by some persons, and espe-
cially by the generals."
