TREASON, and would soon be an in

All newspapers whose politics were ofa i
liberal hue were one after another, seized.
and their Editors sen. to inhabit dungeons. :
Some of those journals were nearly discon- 9
hected with all political parties. Such were d
the Quotidienne and the Courier Canadi- .

seizure.
The partially and animosity of the Q
greater part of the presses now existing, is v
so maniestly against US, & a lear of speak y
