From the National Gozene, Oct. 20.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.

By the ship De aware, which arrived at this
port yesterday, having sailed from Liverpool
on the 10th ult we nave received our file of the
London Morning Chronicle to the 10th inclu-
sive. two DAYS larer from England than the
dates previously received. The advIces from
Paris, contained In the Chronicle, are not more
recent than those ALREADY communicated In this
Gazette, and brought by the snip Howard,
from Havre. We nave selected from the Chro-
nicle OF the 10th, various articles, TO which,
however, no particular interest can be scIibed.
The intelligence from Greece, referred to-, is
the Budget of the Austrian Observer, OF the
I'd Sept. which we consider, as tendered alto
gether doubtful, if not absolutely exploded, by
the statement of theiiberal Paris journals of the
l4th and 18th of the same month. The editors
of four of those Journals, the Constitutional,
Courier, Journal du Commerce, and Pilote,
accused of incorrsetness and bad faith in re
porting the proceedings of the Court of Assizes
during the trial of the Rochelle ConspiIators,
have been sentenced by the Court of Paris, as
follows
MIR. Guise. Responsible editor of the
Constitutional, and Fancilon, responsible
editor of the Journal du Commerce, each
to be imprisoned one year, and to pay a
6ae of 5000 francs LIE GTacieux, respon.
sible editor of the Courier FrdncGis. to SIX
months imprisonment, and to pay line OF
5000 francs; and Cassano, responsible e.
di,or OF the P,iote, to one month impri-
soament, and to pay fine of loco francs.
The Constitutional, and the Journal du
Commerce are forbidden to report judi
cial proceedings for one year, and the
Courier and Pilote for six months.
The court further ordered the suppress.
| sion and destruction of all the numbers OF
those Journals, complained Of, that the de-
cree should be printed and published to
| the extent of 500 copies, aud that the de-.
cree with the motives for rendering 1t, and
its dispositions, should be inserted in eve
ry one of the four journals for one month
| In relation to this transaction, the Lon
don Mbrniog Chronicle dlscourses thus
"As far as we can understand the acct
| which we have taken from, the Quofsdaen-
! ne, the papers in question ave not given
false report of the proceedings OF the
Court, but in speaking OF the accused they
have made use of the language of commits
seration. They noticed also the feeling
displayed by the auditory an unpardona-
bic offence. No power is allowed to the
Journalist TO verify the truth OF his account.
! 1t is enough that the Judges, to whose
conscience every thing IS committed, dis
like the report. They are presumed to
| remember every thing connected with the
proceedings. And yet the trongest par
ticular anedged in accusation IN this case
| related to what took place when the Judg-
es were not in court.
Ills fortunate, we think, for the cause
| of Liberty that the Government, by the
aid of its judicial instruments, is aoVan-
clng with such rapid strides towards des'
polism. A less direct and more crafty
manner of proceeding would certainly be
attended with more danger"
