covered literature" of this country. Politics
are eschewed and excluded by the mandate
Of Napoleon, and romances, love tales, ic-
ton and scandal form the principal staple of,
the French papers. The censorship is rigid
and has not only degraded but partially de-
stroyed the press. The N. Y. Express

Napoleon strictly inhibited the discussion OF
political subjects in the journals. Nor are
they even permitted to report the debates in

IN Paris. Would any other public, any other
people, tamely submit to a tyranny which
thus debars them the po0r privilege of seeing
what their representatives are doing! We
think not.
