The principle of the Royal Literary Fund is to administer as-
sistance to authors of genius and learning who may be reduced to
distress by unavoidal)le calamities, or deprived by enfeebled facul-
ties or declining life of the power of literary exertion., This as-
sistance is renewed as often as the Committee consider necessary,
and it is extended at the death of the author to his widow and
children. During the last sixty years the Committee have de-
voted to the relief of the unfortunate scholar the sum of 37,8651. ;
and 2,320 grants have been bestowed upon upwards of 1,200 ap-
plicants.
Donations and subscriptions in aid of the benevolent purposes of
the Institution will be thankfully received and acknowledged by
the Treasurer, John Griffin, Esq., 21, Bedford-place ; Sir Henry
Ellis, British Museum ; and William Tooke, Esq., 12, Russell-
square ; and at the chambers of the Corporation, 75, Great

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
They all comment on the manner in which the Int
perialists have shown the " white feather" in the
affair between the Pouvoir and the Assembly, and on
the sneaking manner in which GARNIER DE CASSAG-
NAC shirked the responsibility of the article which he
had written, and left the unfortunate printer, LAMAR*
TINIERE, in the lurch.
At the meeting of the Assembly on Thursday, Id.
Lamartiniere, the editor of the Pouvoir, appeared
at the bar, accompanied by M. Chaix d'Estange,
his counsel. _
When they were seated, M. Dupin proceeded to in•
terrogate M. Lamartiniere, who, after giving in his
name, age, profession, and residence, said that ho was
not the writer of the article, but that, as editor, ho as-
sumed its responsibility.
The President then, turning to M. Chaix d'Estange,
cautioned him to be moderate in his defence, and, alter
ordering him to rise, told him to put on his cap, " that
is," added he, " according to our tt adition, speak freely."
M. Chaix d'Estange stated that he heel not had time to
inquire into precedents, to consult the laws, or to examine
the incriminated article, in order to prepare a defence
worthy, not of the cause, but of that solemn Assembly.
He was placed in a peculiar position—he had no adver-
sary to combat; he had an accused to defend; but had no
accuser before him who might fix the ground of the com-
bat. Under the existing institutions, the journalist, in at-
tacking the Assembly, had used a legitimate right.
The great Portalis formerly said that no attack could
reach the National Assembly. He should not examine
whether he was right or wrong, but he would contend
that the law invoked to institute proceedings against
his client was no longer the law of the' land,
and that all the offences and crimes committed by
the press, were amenable to the jury. The two
articles, 15th and 16th, of the law of 1822 had been
long abolished, and it was now admitted in prin-
ciple that no accused can he deprived of his natural
judges, and that no great body of the State could set in
judgment in its own cause. Ever since the establish-
ment of the Constitutional Government the press bad
enjoyed the right of denouncing and blaming the ex-
cess of a tyrannical majority, and to examine the con-
duct and acts of public men, whatever might be their
rank and station under the monarchy, that liberty
was unlimited. A grave journal, which he should
not name (the National), giving an account of the
sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, on the 29th Ja-
nuary, 1848, said : "It is with disgust we
take up our pen to publish a summary of that dis-
gusting and ignoble sitting. We are in a hurry to shake
off the filtby,ciust we brougtitout of the hall. We regret to
have assisted at,it, and cannot find expressions to describe
the contempt inspired to us by such a pitiful discussion."
This article appeared in the last days of the monarchy,
when it was assailed on all sides. It might have expe-
rienced a desire to defend itself, and everybody would
have excused it. It disdained, nevertheless, to prosecute
the writer. Now M. Chaix d'Estange claimed
for his client, under the Republic, the right of
telling the truth, which political writers possessed
under the monarchy. The truth that was told the kings
of the earth must also be told those who succeed them.
Is is the tate of all great powers to be attacked. The
Constituent and Legislative Assemblies had not been
spared. He might cite many articles tar more virulent
than the article published by the Pouvoir, and why pro-
secute the latter and leave the others unpunished? Why,
for instance, did the Assembly not prosecute one, in
which the agony of the Assembly was described iu such
insulting terms fur its dignity? The writer invited its
readers to have pity on it, declaring that the iniquitous
leas it daily voted would hasten the catastrophe, and
prepare the advent of the Socialist party.
Chaix d'Estange here read the article in question,
headed ":Affaiblissement Graduel de l' A ssemblee Nationale.
which criticises the conduct of the Assembly on the
Bill relating to the press, and inquires whether it is
not rather an obstacle to business than a forwarder of it :
it declares that it is time that the country should have
some repose, and asks if it is to bo believed that the
nation can any longer keep up such a hot-bed of civil
discord? The article terminated as follows :—" Cer-
tainly, it is a public fact that there is much more
order and calm in the country than in the Assem-
bly, and that if agitation, struggler, and ambitions are
artfully kept anywhere, it is in the Legislative Sanctuary.
What province, what town is there where persons at-
tack each other, threaten each other with such fury as
at the I'alais Bourbon? There is not one; and, it there
was one, it would be placed for much less in a state of
siege. The experience of the last 60 years is there to
show us that the flame always took its origin in the
Legislative Assemblies. France demands repose, and
woe henceforward to any Assemblies that should slight
that necessity, and should keep up the fire in place of
extinguishing it. It was thought that the Constituent
Assembly had, in falling, reached the lowest point of
discredit to which a deliberative body could fall, but
the present Assembly seems likely to pass that point.
Everythiag seems to announce its approaching end, for
its acts are all so many resignations." The Hon. Gen-
tleman protested, with his hand on his conscience, as a
man of honour, and addressing impartial judges, that
there was not the least comparison to be drawn between
the violence of the attacks directed against the Monarchy,
and those which were discovered in that article. The
writer had said that there was more order and calm in the
country than in the Assembly, and that France now under-
went a grand and decisive trial? Who can deny it? Who
can deny that an alarming uneasiness pervaded the whole
country, owing to the instability of the Government,
which is to-day the radical vice and the essential condi-
tion of the new institutions? When, instead of an un-
changeable power, the country finds a changeable and
ephemeral authority, whose existence was limited to four
years, was it not natural that it should be plunged in
anguish at the fate that awaited it, and at tee comtne-
Lions that menaced it at so proximate a period? Was
it not natural that it should watch the proceed-
ings of the Legislature with a jealous and unquiet
eye? He was animated with the deepest respect for the
Assembly, but he would entreat it to refer to the cir-
cumstances in which the article appeared. It was at a
moment when it was discussing the law on the press.
That law woe]] be productive of salutary and bene-
ficial effects, but it created hitherto unknown obstacles
to the liberty of the press, which should naturally ex-
cite the susceptibility of a journalist. Was it equit-
able, was it becoming, on the Fart of the Assembly,
to constitute itself the judge (if and punish au
humble soldier of the press ? If his client was au
anarchist, if his journal advocated subversive doctrines,
he would conceive its decision. But the Pouvoir was a
journal devoted to order, and anxious that the Govern-
ment should be stable, strong, and resreated. It de-
sired the grandeur and prosperity of the country, and re-
commended that the Government he armed with the
strength necessary to save society, which could only be
obtained by the close union among the two great powers
of the State. _ _ _

When M. Chaix d'Estange had concluded, M. Dupin
asked-M. Lamartiniere if be had anything to add for his
defence. The latter having replied in the negative, the
President told him and his two advocates that they
might withdraw. They bowed and retired.
M. Dupin then repeated to the House that M. La-
martiniere was charged-Ist, with an offence against the
Assembly; and, 2d, with an attack against the rights
and author ity which it derived from the constitution. Ho
suggested that it should proceed to vote F. eparately on each,
and directed that two urns be placed on the tribune, and
that each Member on presenting himself to vote should
be provided with a white and black ball. M. He,keren,
one of the secretaries, then took hie station at the tri-
bune, and recd out the names of the Members, who voted
as they were called.
M. de Tracy. on hearing his name, said that he con-
sidered himself invested with legislative, and not with
judiciary powers, and refused to vote. M. Larabit made
a similar declaration. Most of the Metnbers of the
Mountain took no part in the ballot.
The result of the ballot gave—e.
For the condemnation ... 273 •
For the acquittal ... ... 154
Majority for the condemation... --119
M. Lamartiniere was accordingly declared to be con-
victed of an offence against the Assembly.
The President then announced that the Assembly
should now proceed to another ballot on the second.
charge.
MM. Emmanuel Arago and Bac begged leave to offer
some observations. The President asked them if they
had taken part in the ballot? On their negative reply,
M. Dupin ordered them to sit down.
M. Lacaea next rose and said that he had a scruple to
submit to the Assembly. When his Honourable Col-
-1 ague, M. Baze, denounced the article, he conceived that
it contained two distinct offences. The Assembly
now exercised an exceptional jurisdiction iu preetnee
of the so absolute text of the 83d article of the
Constitution. He admitted its competence to decide on
the offence, but the accusation of an attack against the
rights and authority of the Assembly was a common
offence, amenable exclusively to the jury, and he accord-
ingly asked that the Assembly should declare itself in-
competent.
The Assembly being consulted, pronounced itself in-
, competent.
The accused and his counsel were then brought in,
when the President informed them of the decision of
the Assembly. He added that, in virtue of the law of
the 17th of May, 1819, the offence of which M. La-
marticiere had been convicted was punishable by from
one month to three years' imprisonment, and from
100 f. to 5,000 f. fine. He asked M. Chaim d'Estange if
he had any observations to offer on the application of
the penalty.
M. Chaix d'Estange replied that the Assembly had
heard his developments, and that he had nothing to
add. He should merely invoke the benefit of the 63d
article of the Penal Code, which empowered the jury
to bring in a verdict with extenuating circumstances. Ile
trusted in the justice of the Assembler, which was sove-
reign in that respcc?
M. Chaix d'Estange and client having again with-
drawn, M. Crouseilhes moved that the house should
resolve into a Secret Commit:ee.
AL Jules Fevre combated the motion, hut five Mem-
bers having demanded the Secret Committee, it was
i voted by a considerable majority. The public gelleries
