; any inconvenience. II
was also givart to bring in a Bill to prevent

^'n Pot to t!.e vote, the first proposition, for the
'` to the
Keeper of the Seals, was negatived by
14-ge Majority ; but the second, for the remit to
3:iirister of the Interior, was carried,
The KEtl'Elt of the SEAL, then ascended the Tri-
pll*: The King had charged him to present three
Tetts of Law On the reparation of crimes and mis.
celriMitted through the median of the

Pass or any other channel of publication. The first
of these Projects contained the penal diiPoiltiomal
the second regulated the mode of procedure. pal*
' followed in the prosecution and repression of these
offences.; and the third related to the Journals and
periOdical writings, which being henceforth free from
all political censorship, appeared to require some
particular regulations.
The First Project is divided into four chapters
each, embracing a particular class of offences of the
Press. The first declares penal all public provoca-
tions to crime or misdemeanours, in which descrip-

tion it includes every attempt which is aimed against
the legitimate order of succession to the• Throne, the
authority of the KING and Chambers, the liberty of
conscience, and the inviolability of the national pro-
perty. The second, all public offences against the
person of the KING. The third, all outrages against
public morality and good manners. And the lourth,
defamation and scandal.

The Second Project respecting the mode of prose-
cution,
proposes the adoption of two very great im-
provements in this part of the French law. The first
is, that works against which prosecutions are insti-
tuted shall not, as heretofore, be liable to seizure
previous to publication—the seizure is only to take
place after the work has been published, and the
Public have thus in some measure been enabled to
form an opinion of the propriety of the prosecution
instituted against it. The question had been agitated
whether the still more liberal and apparently more
equitable mode, followed in England, of waiting till
judgment is pronounced against a work before or-
dering its suppression, might not with equal advan-
tage be adopted in France ; but Ministers had re-
solved for the contrary, on considerations chiefly
founded on an assumed incompatibility of such a
system with the peculiar manners of the French
people. The second truly great and important im-
provement is, the introduction of Trial by Jury. In
proposing this, said the Keeper of the Seals, Ministers
are swayed not less by their own conviction than by
a respect for public opinion; they believed that it
will be a measure equally favourable to the liberty
of the Press avid to the repression of abuses ; they
are convinced that Trial by Jury can henceforth ho
the only efficient protector of all those interests which
are exposed to danger from the liberty of publica-
tion ; nay more, they are convinced that Juries will
be a terror to libelists, by the just severity of their
decisions.
The Third Project of Law relating to the Journals
and Periodical Works, proposes that in future the
only guarantees required for their proper manage-
.ment, shall be the declaration of the names of two
ilsponsible Editors for each Journal along with
*depOt of an adequate security in rentes. The F.di-
Dars•are to, be liable to the same penal laws, to the
same forms of trial as the Authors of other publica-
tions, With this exception, that in case of conviction,
the penalties as against them are to be doubled, and
in case of a relapse (rccidive) quadrupled.
The KEEPER of the SEALS in indicating these re-
gulations, declared, in the most decided and satisfac-
tory terms, that he regarded publicity in all matters
of national interest, as the soul and element of repre-
sentative Government, and that such publicity could
only be attained by allowing all possible latitude to
the periodical Press. The restraints proposed, our
Readers will observe, are not materially different from
those which arc in force in our own country.
The Chamber remitted the three projects to the
Bureaus for examination.
The Members having then resolved themselves
into Secret Committee, the discussion on the Election
Law was resumed. M. M. COP.I3IErF, and BARTE-
j...ABASTIDE, spoke in favour of the proposition.—
M.M. DE LA FAYETTE and Sr. Cam% against it. The
farther discussion was then adjourned.

The following is an extract of a letter from the
Agent to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, dated March 3:
" (ht the Ist instant, it blew very hard and squally from the
N.W. and at night the wind increased, when the Russian ship
Alexey, Cerr, and the Portuguese brig San Joao Baptista, Fe-
&OSA, were driven on shore to the Southward of the 1/evil's
Tongue, and other considerable damage was sustained by the
vessels in the Bay running fut:l of each other. The San Joao
Baptista was got Qtr ycstvra6f, and the Alexey this morning, hut
without very apparent material damage, and they make is., wa-
ter. On the 2d the weather moderated, but yesterday morning
the wind shifted to the S.W. and triew very bard and agio,ll,
during the whole day and night. The American schooner Pen-
guin,Tarroa, and the &latish sloop 'Moira, tins4mr, with a town
bombard, were driven on shore at Landport, on sandy ground,
front whence they are expected to be got off without damage.—
Ills Majesty's packet Chichester broke her chain cable,"

Yesterday Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Am.
bassador, had an audience of the PRINCE REGENT, at
Carlton House. The Duke of 'WELLINGTON, the Mar-
quis of SALIGIWRY, and the Marquis of Auor.esEn,
paid their respects to the REGENT.
Quebec and Charleston Papers, to the 21st of Fe-
bruary, arrived this morning, but their contents are
quite unimportant.
In another column we have given an Extract from
the Cape Town Gazette of the 2d January, respecting
an Expedition from the Cape of Good Hope into the
Caffre Country, for the purpose of supporting a
friendly CafFre Chief named Gaiko, and to punish
another, named 'TSainbie. who had made many de-
predations upon the former, and also upon the frontier
Colonists. The Expedition was attended with com-
plete succors.
The same Paper contains a confirmation of the
intelligence which we communicated yesterday from
Ceylon, namely, the captuic of the two Rebel Lea.
ders, named Krifetapola and Peleme Telawc. This
event, which may be considered as the deathblow to
the rebellion, is officially notified by the Commander
of the Forces, in General Orders issued from the
Head-quarters, Kandy, the 31st of October, 1818.—
Maduzaile, the third of the Rebel Leaders, escaped
with difficulty, and was expected soon to surrender,
or to be made prisoner.
LaVIAWSZ Mapco 16.—0 n the 4th instant It dreadful con-
flagration nearly destroyed the large village of Azmoos, district
of Sargans, Colston of St. Gall. Nearly the whole population
of this Tillage and of the neighbouring communes, were at
work at the ilykes on the banks of the Rhine, and, bo fore aoy
kelp arrived, 113 houses were qonsumed by the Eames, and O'
individuals, forming 78 families, were reduced to the melt
sitting misery, by the losi of their live stock, furniture, MA i
provisions. The Church and 45 habitations escaped this disso
relief.ll
ter, which has been alleviated in some measure by prompt
from the Government of St. Gall. In Me, this village cape-';
tooted a similar fate. The misfortunes which the inhabitants
of St, Gall have endured, during several years put, from the
stagnation of trade, fees, and inundations, cannot be too much
lamented.
