which the law confers the right of granting to breveted
printers supplementary permissions for political papers
seems to have laid down its arms in favour of them. In
fleet, one paper is printed in the quarter of the town of
the Chaussee d'Antin, and he who signs as printer lives
in a very remote quarter; another is at an equally long
distance from its tutelary printer. How can it be pos-
sible, then, for these printers to carry on a rigorous sur-
veillance which the accusations now brought against
printers would seem to require? It is impossible.
" These difficulties, or rather these impossibilities,
have been comprehended by all the Courts who have had
to give judgment on similar questions; the printer has
always been put out of the question.
" If the laws upon the responsibility of papers, and
their demands in all that regards the responsible editors
—if the guarantee of the caution money be not sufficient,
let the Chambers be called upon to decide the matter ;
but let it never be that printers, who in fact, especially
in what concerns Newspapers, are only veritable work-
men, passive, deprived of all influence, of all power, of
every capability of reasonint, or dispute, are to be made
Government agents, with all the disadvantages of a com-
mercial position constantly in opposition to itself.
" The establishment of the censorship would be a
thousand times preferable. Under the censorship at
least if the printer be only a passive and unintelligent in-
strument, his fortune, his trade, his daily bread, as well
as that of his family and that of his numerous workmen,
are not exposed to the evil chances of a political error, or
the right understanding of a word."

There is very little news of interest in the
French Journals. The following is a copy of
the answer returned by the KING to the Address
of the French Chamber of Deputies, presented
to his MAJESTY on Sunday evening.
" Messieurs les Deputes,—lt is very agreeable to me
to hear a testimonial like this, and it is with pleasure
that I receive it. Yes, Gentlemen, it is to the happy
concordance of all the powers of the State that we
owe the preservation of public order, and that of our
national liberties, protected by the vigour and wisdom
of our institutions. With your loyal concurrence,
France will assume more and more confidence in her
future destinies. This confidence will dry up in their
source the insensate projects which you have so well de-
fined. It will discourage the boldness of those men who
are plotting secret machinations, and will keep away
from them those who may have been drawn in to asso-
ciate themselves with such schemes from illusions as to
the chances of success, and the system of terror by
which they are surrounded. I am profoundly touched by
the sentiments which the Chamber of Deputies has just
expressed to me in this Address."

A letter written from Goritz, by M. de Montbel,
dated the 19th January, confirms the excellent accounts
already received from Vienna. of the health of Henry of
France, and announces that the return of the Prince to
Goritz will take place in the course of the month of Feb-

ruary.
The Gazette de Dauphine says, " We examined, a few
days ago, at the oifice of the Tribunal of the First In-
stance, at Grenoble, the list of the Jury for 1842, and it
was not difficult for us to perceive that this list for three
hundred members, chosen out of a total of 2,400, does
not contain the name of a single person known for the
independence of his opinions in political matters,
and that the inquiries which we have since made, have
too evidently proved to us the truth of our first -impres-
sion, and our first judgment. Justice rendered by the
Jury, is, therefore, but a word "without meaning, fit, at
the most, to amuse simpletons and fools. Trial by Jury
will mean, henceforth, not trial by one's Peers, but by
one's adversaries, one's political enemies."- —Gazette de
France.
