♦du abase cost liberty, the law awaits yen, it will
hurl its thunder upon yes."
Liberty, he continued, to write, belonged to a free
man ; repression to the law. Let the Censorship be
repressed, and let a remedy, not a.palliative, be adopted.
The remedy tousitted in reforming abuses.
It bad been thought 'impossible to check abuses of
the press be any 14w; The Committee Ltd tome to a
different conclusiun.

From the rapidity crith uhielt crimes of this nature
might be committed there would be required a b tn-
wary mode of puuisitment. A' pefmanent tribunal
might be formed ; men, who hr • long habit of per-
forming a sacred duty had become free from pre-
judice, should be appointed to preside and judge
with strict impartiality. . He them proceeded as
follows:—" It is in the Royal Courts of law.
that such men may be found, for we might justly
say, that they did not exist among ourselves.—
Perhaps one could not do better far religion, for pub-
lic morals, and for the monarchy-, than bring all de-
linquencies committed through the medium of the
Journals, before the Royal Cooks, teithowt the inte►-
eeation of Jet; irs ! ! For what, indeed, is the on'y at-1
tribute of Juries It is to pronounce upon a fact
that has taken place, that is to say, if such a ciliate j
has been committed ; and has been committed by such
a man. Nothing of this kind is necessary with re-
gard to journals. The fact is admitted, it is before
the Judges, the name of the author or priuter is
known, there is nothing to prove as to the identity or
existence of these two objects. But the disculty
coniists in estimating whit is the general
spirit of the obnoxiwis article, and what is the
particular spirit of such and 'stub a phrase.
Judges being men of intelligence would be better able
to decide with accuracy in these points than a Jury
consisting for the most part of illiterate and ignorant
men!!! He shortly concluded by recommending, in
the name of the Committee, the abolition of the cen-
sorship. The report was ordered to be piloted, and
the discus;ion upon it will take place in a public sit-
ting.

Letters from Vienna, in the I;.rnian Journals, an-
nounce important negouialious which Are carrying on at
this moment between the Court of Vienna and the new
King of Sardinia, Charles Felix, with the consent of the
Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. It is affirmed that they re-
late to the abdication of King Felix in favour of the
Duke of Modena, who is an Austrian Archduke of
the House of Este, so that the States of Sardinia,
tither wholly or in pass, would be added to the dosuiteiews
of the House of Lei raise and Ilapsburgls, of which
the Basperor of Austria is the head. It is said that.
tbt principal object is the ovsluisitiois of Piwlusunt
as the frontier proviso eof Italy next to France. and of
its fortresses, which, united with the dbminions of the
Duke of Modena, would be connected with the Austrian
Monarch, in the bailie manner as the Grand Duchy of
Tuscany now is.
The full iwing is the most recent intelligence from
Turkey in these papers. It is dated Constantinople,
May 2S.—
Most of the Foreign Ambassadors have, with more or
less restriction, denied the right of the Porte to detain
vessels sailing through the Dardanelles.
On the 19th the Turkish squadron destined for the
Archipelago, put to sea : it consists of a ship of the
line of S 6 guns, three frigates of 46, and two brigan-
tines 12 guns; two ships of war of tsti and 7$ guns were
to join it in a few clays: it is commanded by Rear-Ad-
miral Tambek Zade Aly Bey. Emmanuel Danesi was
still living on the 25th of May, he hail been put in snore
rigorous confinement. Dane si's partners, the brothers
,Apostola, Pappa and Mr. Costanda, had taken refuge
with the Chief Interpreter of the Russian Legation,
they have since embarked. Three vessels under
the Russian flag, and tilled with fugitives, 'save
passed the Bosphorus. This sighs greatly incensed the
furls.

Au article previously received from Hamhurgh, ex-
press from Constantinople, contains intelligence of im-
portance. The Brea( Insurrection has been the cause
of producing some material changes in the Administra-
tion of the affairs of Turkey. The Janissaries are in
future to be represented in the Divan by three Members
chosen from their own body. At the suggestion of the
new Members the Turkish army is to be organised upon
the European plan. The Barbary States have been re-
quired to send all their ships of war to the assistance of
the Turks, but the British Antbanador at Constantino-
ple bas protested against their presence in the lonian
Sea. His Lordship has also contrived to get rid of ce►-
tain derogatory forms in the presentation of Auileassa-
don to the Urand.Seigniur.

CAPE DE VERD REVOLUTION.

The march of revolution, though impeded in some
quarters, is making progress in others. On the Vid
of Mirth, the troops in garrison at Boaaaista de.
dared the Portuguese Constitution to be the supreme
law of the Cape de Verdi; and on the 4th of April
the troops of the Villa tie Prava, St. Jago, proclaimed
amidst the firing of vollies, Vire La Constiisiim,"
which was followed by a national salute from all the
forts. The Uovernor finding himself deserted by the
troops, complied with the demand of a Committee of
citizens, and subscribed to the basis of the Constitn•
tion. Rejoicings took place for many 4 lays after, and
the town was illuminated, and all business suspended.
