Bat a short time since we gave a snccinct
account Of the cause Of the suppression Of
the French liberal paper, the Prose-, and at
the same time We remarked. that ~ regarded

such agitation IA he thought ft and proper,
In fact just enough 10 relieve the constitu-
tional irritability Of the ParisiaDs without
any danger TO himself but no more. The
Courier he PARIS has followed suit with a
vengeance, writing very powerful article
on text furnished by the Pyus,an Ga:ette,
which text We furnish 10 our readers, pre-
missing that the Py,auaa Gdzetie IN written

The climax Of this article ia contained in
the following sentences, written, it must be
