RESTRICTION OF THE PRESS IN FRANCE.  The Imperial Government has, in restricting the freedom of the press at this moment, followed in the footsteps of Id. Thiers while at the head of Louis Philippe's ministry in 1835. In the month of July of that year Fieschi's attempt took place. The Chambers were called together in August for an extraordinary session, and in September voted by an immense majorityl the " Lois de Septetnbre. " These laws clipped the wings of the press to a very considerable extent. They enacted that no paper should discuss political subjects without having first deposited a certain amount of caution money ,• that pres offences should no longer be brought before a jury, but before a correctional tribunal, which was authorised, after a certain number of condemnations to order the suppres.don of the obeexions journal. These measures were at that time fully approved of by public opinion. I may add that web is exactly the case at present. The Government might sep2ress every paper in Paris—the would cry well done. -.'
