      We perceive that in our last , ( p . 12 8 J we stated prematurely that the law restraining the press had passed the two Chambers . The event thus anticipated has since taken place . The discussions in the Chamber of Peers , as well as ' in that of the Deputies , were very animated :

      the speech of Prince Talleyrand has been much applauded . This disastrous measure was carried in the upper chamber by only a small majority : it is now , however , the law of France , and will be so as long as the present system of government is suffered to continue .

      Tumults have arisen in various parts of France , principally in places of public education ; the young men being very reluctant to submit to the yoke of legitimacy . One great source of discord is the preaching of the Missionaries , that is ,

      priests who go about carrying the cross , preaching up the old doctrine of passive obedience , fulminating church-censures against those that took a part in or profited by the Revolution , asserting the divine right of tithes , calling back , as far as words avail , feudal times and usages , and in some cases pretending to miracles .

      Fanatics and impostors as they are , they are countenanced by the government , and on that account , perhaps , more than fronr any dislike of superstition , they are obnoxious to the people , who have on several occasions opposed their preaching so riotously , that they have been obliged to claim the protection of the military .

      Certain state-prosecutions have brought out very prominently the political feeling ? of the French people . Alarmed by this and other demonstrations of disloyalty , the police are very active in their inquisition after heresy and blasphemy . We copy a paragraph on this subject from a paper which we do not often quote , but which we never see without amusement .
