Rams, AYAIr. 16.—When we examine the new law re-
lative to the Press, and compare it with the laws which
preceded it, and that it mitigates and abrogates the exist-
ing evils, candour requires us to acknowledge the great
amelioration► introduced by the Keeper of the Seals. Such
transactions can only do honour to the frankness of those
who propose them. Honour to the Monarch in whose
reign the censorship and privileges have disappeared for
ever!

No attention, however, has been paid to the Stamp Tax.
The political journals pay for every number a centime and
a half more than literary journals ; so that the new law
grants to the latter a faculty which is taken from it by a
preceding law, which is not abrogated. The new law does
not epeak of this. What law, then, are we to obey?
(From the Courier Francais of Wednesday.)
PA KIS, APRIL 1 6.—Lord Londonderry appears to have
had a political object in visiting Paris. It is said that he
is to supersede Lord Granville as Ambassador. His Lordship
expresses his discontent at the progress of the Constitutional
system in this country. He is anxious that Al. Villele
should resume his office. But his Lordship does not know
that the principal cause of the fall of that Minister was his
deference to the Cabinet of St. James's. It is time that
France should resume its proper rank among nations.; it
should have its own policy, and pursue the course of its own
interests.
