It was generally circulated and credited all
forenoon, that Young WaTsoN had been apprelkeod-
ed at Bristol, brought to town by Prtaxs'iirc'efficer.
and taken to Bow-street. Upon investigation,. hOw.
ever, we find that there is no truthin this report.
At halt-past one o'clock, that active and intelligent
Magistrate of Bow-street Office, Mr. Br ftN re, was
anxiOusly interrogating the person brought from
Ilatfield, arrested from his retemblance 'to the
description Of WATSON, and whose account of him-
self, add of money he says he found on the Guild.

and he wss it Butcher in Fleet-market. This
probably gave rise to the above report. • "-

We have the Paris Jotiroals to the I ltiti The
bare prospect of the Kew Liberty which the
and Coo.,titutional Minister, have proposed. to

confer On them, seems to have struck them dumb
for they are literally duller and more destitute of

information than ever. And in truth we are not
surprized at this, fur the remedy offered them it
much worse than the original disease. If the
Ministerial Projet passes, the Writers will them-
selves be answerable, in body and in property, se
'the most arbitrary and despotic coutroul that ever
pretended to the name of Law, whereas hereto-
fore, it anything offensive crept into publication,
the censors were blunted, and no steps were token
to puntila the printers, unless indeed they hap-
pened to be, •as in the case of the Mkhaudt and
the Robeat,distinguished fox their zeal and attach-

We do not question but that the state of Brsnee
may require some restraints on the Press, and that
the people of that Country may not be ripe for the
licence we enjoy, which is somewhat too much
even for the information, long established prin-
ciples,
.and fixedness of this Country. But
in the name of sense do
root let us call these
restrictions (pararnount.as they are to (lie prow
()Rion of any freedom of opinion-. or discus.

Laws to annihilate that liberty for twel.vc months.

that they are intended to repress and flisallaw a
noble privilege, because its exercise is in these still
unsettled times beld.to be datigerouc. to the
verument of France.
