was referred the law for the regulation of
the press, was read on the 18th. As this
Is the most vehemently condemned of all
the Tour projects. wa give brief abstract
OIL me reporters remarks on its most i'm
portant provisions:
The committee. said NJ Sauzet, had not
nesltated TO consider as an attempt against

contain an intention to excite the contem
plated hatred of the citizens against the
KING. In that case. the offrnder is to be
'fiea ny the peers; but all offences Of the
press shall come under the jurisdiction of
me regular tribunals. The Committee
agreed that the imprisonment and fines
| specified IN the bill were enormous. TO be
sure, but necessary for the security of 40
ciety. The reporter then contended that
tne law was quite in harmony with the
69lh article Of the charter, which required
the offences of the press TO he tried by a
Jury, since the new crime defined by the
law was an attempt against the state. and
tnat the eogniZance OF such crimes, by an
other article oil the charter, was vested in
the chamber of Peers. He then said that
The committee had disapproved of the
wording of the Sd article, which forbade
the name OF the king being introduced, di
rectly or indirectly, in the discussion of
INC sc's oil Government. This article was
too vague, and he proposed 10 substitute
the following:
BE-" Whoever shall attempt to make the

directly for acts Of his government. shall
be liable 10 fine Of 500 to 5000 francs
