The discussion on the Project regarding the 1
berty of the Press has, at length, drawn nearly to
close. On the adjourned meeting of Friday, aft,
M. SARTELON and M. DRSONALD (the celebrate
publi:ist) had delivered their sentiments at consi,!r
table length against the Project, there was a Inu.
and general call for the question. M. Owl.: u
rose not to oppose this movement, but merely for t!.
purpose of obtaining an explanation from Minister,
on a point which it was of importance arm!
be distinctly understood, before the almus
came to any determination on the subjecr.--Ti.
greater part of the speakers, he stated, had u:
curred in urging, as an amendment to tLe 1):. •
ject, that the mode of Trial by Jury should Le 1p
plied to delicts of the Press ; but a Minister tit t!
King had thought proper to oppose this amendur r•
by a declaration that the King would not enr,:cr.t
any such addition to the Law. It was imporzatit,
said, to know how this declaration should be regard:!
for himself, he considered it to be entirely contrary t
the rights of the Chamber and the Constitutional C! cr
ter. The Minister of the Interiorimmediately mour.tv.
the Tribune ; he said, that the expression he had Litt:
had been misconceived—that he intended no mot
than to affirm that the amendment was contrary t
the Royal Prerogative, meaning, we presume, Its
the Project of Law having been presented in if,
King's name, an alteration so material as that prc
posed, which would have all the effect of a diitirr
and substantial law, could not be entertaircd. No
thing farther passed on this point ; and we confurs w
are surprised et it. The prerogative which ilir'ver
have claimed for the King, even qualiged as it
by the last explanation, is in direct subversion la! :!I
power and independence of the Chamber, ali
conceded, must render their proceedings altoget:-t
nugatory.
The c4l for the closing of the discussion bt.:r,
terwards renewed, it was carried unanimon,ly, a'
the Chamber adjourned till Saturday, for the par
of hearing the Reporter of the Project in reply.
