PRIVATE LETTER. " PARIS, JAN. 14, SEVEN O'CLOC,!. " The report on M. Serre's Project of Law for tbe regulation of the Press has been presented to-day : the discussion commences on Saturday. The Repeater was M. Chiffiet (Member for Doubs), aho is new to this Chamber, but who sat and voted with the majority for the Chambre Introuvable. He was then ti.c Reporter of a Commission which proposed to renje.: the Clergy proprietors, and strongly suppoz ted proposition of M. de Ronald to suppress the right of divorce. He was appointed President of the edi.r. Royale of Besancon by Ultra interest. Such being' the Reporter on the Project of Law for regulating ch.: Press, the nature of the Report may be easily conjectured. I cannot at this hour give any detailed count of its contents. It was extremely long, occupying the Chamber from half-past three to within :t quarter of five. It was drawn up quite in an Ultra manner, and was frequently interrupted by the load disapprobation of the left side of the Chamber. Th' principal point of novelty in it was a recommendatioa to abolish the trial by jury in all offences of the F re, , as in M. Peyronnet's Project with respect to the Journals, and to transfer the decision to the Corm-17,757.1e in solemn sitting, with not less than twelve This, said the Reporter, was all the guarantee that the freedom of the Press could demand. The Chamber was full. The Sitting was very stormy the disapprobation of the Liberals vehement, and the sum of the Ultras equally clamorous. As soon a; the Report was read, no less than forty-two Nlentbers inscribed their names to oppose the Project. Amor; those inscribed in support of it is M. Clausel Je Con ,sergues, who made such an unreasonable and al),:ri attack en 3L de Cazes, as the murderer of the Du ;se of Berry : he is at their head. The galle:ies wore crowded to excess. Persons had even taken their stand at the door by eight o'clock in the morning, though the Sitting did not open till half-past one.— The discussions n ill be very important. France i 4 yet far from being settled in her liberties, when questions of such importance as Trial by Jury are opened for discussions in Reports like the present. " The Report on M. Peyronnet's Bill for the Police of the Journals, it is said, will not be deli% ered till the debates terminate on the Project of Je Serre. is somewhat spiking that the Reporter of this Commission, M. de hlartigoac, as well as. of the . other. 'should belong to the Royal Court. M. de 31attiguac  I.Cri opted. bi.CAsi►'ln PERI la the discus ion ra Other Vuices.-1 Tisk: PIts..:iIDENT  ;s Proeureur-General of the Royal Court of Limoges, and spoke lately in favour of M. de Satre, when his conduct with regard to striking a Barrister off the list was made the subject of complaint to the Cham• ber. M. de Martignac is considered as a good and steady Ultra.. • He was nominated (says an Ulu.. .1 lurnal) a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour by the King, for his fine and loyal conduct at Bnurdeaux on t!ie restoration, and during the hundred days.' There an, of course, be no doubt of the nature of his Report. " Funds at the close of the Market were--Five per Cents. S 3 f. 90 c. (five cents. lower than the price in the printed list.)"  Ca.
