The FREES IN EUROPE.-W0 puOlfSu ef5c-
where debate in the Belgian Chambers, which
was provoked by the foolish onslaught of N.
Walewski, the French Emperor's Minister, on
the Belgian press, at the Paris Conference.
This movement OF Napoleon's evinced striking
departure from the prudential policy he has
hitherto pursued it was foolish in every way
not possible to succeed, and at the same
time certain to produce disgust in every free
mind, and ntempt even in the mind of the
French. The Belgians have done themselves
and their country credit by the little dramatic
scene published in another column. Before
six months aze over the French Emperor may
find that, inntead Of doing himself gosd in
attacking the hornets nest, he has only rovsed
them into revival of the hostility which was
their normal state few years ago. The Eng
lish press has not forgotten its souvenirs of
1851, and might easily be reused once more.
.Apropos Of this English press, the transition
from dear to cheap newspapers goes on but
slowly. Three penny papers are agoing in
London, but shey are as yet experiments
one, at least, lie mere party paper, and can
not we'll succeed. All three are mere i'll
aontrived copise Of the London Times. They
fill in the first condition of Journalism they
do not furnish what the public wants
to read. People who want learned and elabo-
rate articles on the highest questions of State
diplomacy and the Like, find them in the Lon
don Times, for which they pay ten cents. The.
people who would be. glad to buy the Star or
the Era for a penny want to be entertained
with.something else. It will take some time
for the British Journalists to learn to make
cheap papers; for the Bziton essentially is an
unteacasble animal, slow to conceive he has
anything to learn, essentially slow to believe
that America can give him lessons. However,
there is No doubt the lessons will be learned in
the course of the next ten years; and tken,
instead Of one great paper being the sole Or
gan of the British nation, ind number of
other journaie starving around it, we shall see
fourishing penny papers in all the large cities,
producing an income Of from 1900 to e20,-
600, and a general love for reading spread
among the public.
