THE FRENCH PRESS.

The first resistance to the late arbitrary or
dinances of the French King and which led to
his reinforcement, was made by the conductors
of the press, in reference to which we have Sc
lected the following articles.
The conductors of the Paris Press appear to
have taken the lead in the resistance 10 the H.
legal ordinances. The greater part of the Ed
itors and Managers of the Journals signed a
paper, in which it was declared that these or
dinances were illegal, and which concluded as
follows:
"The Government has therefore now violat-
ed legal order We are dispensed from obey
ing. We shall endeavor to publish our Journal
without asking the authority which is imposed
on us. We shall do our best in order that, for
the present, at least, it shall reach all parts OF
France.
"This is what our duty as citizens dictates,
and we fulfil it.
1t is not for us to point out to the Chamber
Illegally dissolved, It's duties but we may sup
plicate it, in.the name of France, TO RELY on its
evident right, and to resist with all its power
the violation of the laws. Its right is as Ger.
tain as that on which we rely The charter
declares, Art. so, that the King may dissolve
the Chamber Of Deputies, but in order TO do
I that 1t is necessary that it shall have been as.
scmbled, and constituted Chamber, and, in
fine, that it shall have maintained a system ca.
pable Of provoking its dissolution. But before
the meeting and the constitution Of tho Cham
Der, there is nothing but the election of Depu-
ties. Now, in no part of the Charter is it said
that the King can annnl the elections The
ordinances now published do nothing but annul
the elections. They are therefore illegal, be-
cause they do that which the Charter does not
authorize.
" The Deputies elected and convoked for the
Sd of August, are therefore well and truly elect.
ed and convoked. Their right to-day is the
same as it was yesterday France implores
them not to forget it. Whatever they can do
to make that right prevail it is their duty to do
f" The Government has this day lost the
character of legality which commands obedi-
ence We resist it in what concerns ourselves.
1t is for France to determine how far her resis.
lance ought TO extend"
Accordingly, on the 9th most of tho liberal
papers appeared without authorization. These
papers were bold in their structures on the lle-
gal acts, and on the state of affairs. The pop.
ular excitement increased At 10 o'clock the
shops of the Palais Royal began TO be closed,
and the gardens were crowded The following
extracts from letters published in the London
Sun, relate some Of the events of the day.
