LONDON,
MONDAY, DECEMBgH 29; 1817.

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Thursday last, Thursday being Chtistmas-dayt

the offices. ot..t.h.c.Jottroals were closed, and there
was no pablicarion on }Friday.

We give from them, in 'our first page; an ale.
!tract of the. proceedings of the Chamber of De
puties on Wednesday, which finishes the disco'
iou on the Projet respecting the Press. M
Amendment was agreed to, rendering the depos►i
of a work so far a publication as to give a riOli
of civil action to a party calumniated in it. TO
of course takes greatly from the effect of tile
former Amendment, by which a W.t.y k was not i°
be considered as published, unless either whoa
or in part circulated.
Another Amendment was also agreed upon, t°
the purport that the Projet should•not take a t,VOI
nom the effect of the former laws concerning
songs, pamphlets, fiptres, or images, contrail
to good morals.

Attempts I.vere made by MM. Boni and DF,
BouLAYE to introduce Articles pledging the 60'
vernment to present a Projet for the application <4
the Trial by Jury to offeneeg of the Press,-1101
they failed, being got rid of by the previods
question.

• The Chamber then proccedcd to a scrutiny 0°
the whole Projet, when the numbers appeare;V
Fur it 122—LAgainst it 111—leaving 3 in sjorif y "f
oily 11. During the whole of the stro4gle, the
parties in the Chamber appear to have been nearlf
equally balanced, except upon the question re'
specting the introduction of Trial by Jury, urPll
which no division was, attempted. So mach,
however, has been said in the Chamber, ;toil
with considerable ability, and which has goo`
forth to the world in favor of the application of
Trial by Jury to offences of the P; ess, t'lat ti .c
question is, as it were, before the people d
France, and if they at all desire it, their wisbef
must ultimately influence their Representatives iy
the Chamber.. •

The Coor Royale of Dona's, has declared itself
competeo *the affair of MAUBaEUIL, and tll
trial is fixed for the 2(1 of March.

• Since writing the above, the Gazette de Frano
of Thursday, which did -not arrive last night, lios
come to. band. It contains the following article
froM Algiers, giving more correctly the portico'
lays of the last insurrection there :

. •
"' ALGIERS, Nov. 24.—The privateers of tb's
Regency have brought in siucc the 28th of S
tember only one French ship and three Spaniarf"'
The cargo of one of the latter hai been declared
good prize, the others have been set at liberty,
" The scarcity h felt here more and more eyed
day. Wheat is distribnted in small quantitie"
and oil in bottles.

It has been for some time remarked, that the
projects of the Dey were very extensive, and tl3°,
he was successively developing them. They NO)
