In the Chamber of Deputies.—On the 2d inst. a
motion of M. FAURE, for praying his iviajesty to pro.
pose, without delay, the project of a law, restrictive
of the licentiousness cf the press, and at the same
time regulating the rights and duties of authors and
printers, was ordered to be taken into consideration
on the 4th.

A Maritime Council of War has been convoked at
Paris, in pursuance of the orders of the King, to judge
Captains Philibert and du Petit Thouars, relative to
the capture of the frigates PEtoile and la &Thane,
commanded by these Officers. Both have been ho•
nourably acquitted, and unaaimotisly, by a sentence
oldie `23d June, an.: the Council has pronounced the
, warmest eulogiums on the talents and bravery schcli
they displayed, aleng with their officers and crews.

Since writing the above, we have received Paris

illotiiteur contains an Ordonnance permitting
the Officers of the French Navy who are unem-
ployed and upon half-pay to enter into any depart-
ment of Commerce, at Lorne or in the Colonies,
which they may prefer, the Secretary cf the Navy
previously furnishing them with a licence.
The Ilfin:iteur also contains, in a long Supplement,
a complete set cf ne'.v Regola:ions for the Fzench
Navy. They ale, of course, uninteresting to an Eng-
lish reader.

A long, and rather tumultuary debate, took place
in the Chamber of Deputies, on the admissibility of
M. Prercr, ended in his rejection as being a foreigner.
Madame MOREAU, who has an in Pari►, has
been received with great marks of distinction.
The memorable mehe, de Lt Touche has had the
effrontery to bring before the tribunals of France cer-
tain patriotic and spirited public writers who lately
reminded the public that he was the coadjutor of
CAULINCoLatT in the affair of the Duc d'Etwurva.

All the public writers of France concur in calling
this tragical occurrence by its true name, " the assas-
sination of the Duc d'ENuutzu."

The commercial interests of Great Britain are likely
to suffer greatly by the change of affairs in Spain.
All the letters from Madrid which we have seen shew
how much more favourable the Cortes and Regency
were to the trade and manufactures of Great Britain
than the existing Government under FERDINAND, and
at the same time exhibit the more liberal and enlight-
ened policy by which the former were guided. During
the invasion of Spain by the French, a law was passed,
under which it was permitted to export British Cot.
ton Manufactures to the Spanish Colonies in S,nitli
America, on the condition that they touched in the
voyage at some port of the parent country. This
law was originally enacted for six months, but at the
expiration of each six mont!;s successively it has been
uniformly renewed. so as to give it all the effect of a
permanent regulation. Those who now hold the su-
preme authority have not thought fit to prolong the
operation of this law, and it being now extinct, the
market of New Spain is closed upon us for these corn.
modities, and there is ground to apprehend that some
preference of the Cotton Manufactures of France is
intended, under which our industrious artizans will
be altogether excluded from any benefit in the same
quarter.
