TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sla,—The French Language being usually studied with
a view to conversation, this Grammar will he found par- .
ticularly calculated to promote this desirable object. The
rapid sale of the two large impression• of the work, aud
the increasing patronage by which the Third Edition 15
daily distinguished, are sufficiently indicative of it« merits.
Extensive experience in teaching having confirmed me /0
the conviction that the English are peculiarly diffident ia
speaking French, I have principally applied myself to re-
medy this mauvaise honte, by continually drilling the
pupil on the verbs, and the other parts of speech. By
this means, and the explanatory system adopted through-
out the book, the student is kept in constant practice;
without which very little hope may be entertained of ever
speaking French. The Essays on the Rules are all col-
loquial, and may be considered as a repertory for convey- .
s'ation ; while the verbs are exemplified in quite a new and
clear manner. The work is concluded by a Grammatical
Analysis, and a Treatise on French Prosody and Versifi-
cation ; besides a classified Vocabulary ; a Collection of
Familiar Phrases, arranged under distinct beads; and
numerous Models of Notes and Letters, with some forms of
Bills of Exchange, Promisairy Notes, and Receipts. In
the execution of the whole, in abort, I have spared no
pains in my endeavours to give the work the greatest pos-
sible degree of perfection ; and I flatter myself the present
edition will be esteemed fully to justify my pretensions.
I hare the honour to be, Sir,
Your mo►t obedient humble servant,
London, Jan. 2G, 1830. J. V. DOUVILLE.

We regret to state that it is very confidently
stated, and very generally believed, that the Marquis of 'e
CirANDos is about to accept office under the Duke °fit'''.
WELLII4GTON. If this rumour be well founded we can- e
not help pitying the Noble Marquis. The fact of Lord:
CHANDOS joining the present Ministry is unfortunate in
more rcpects than one. It is unfortunate for the Noble.
Lord personally, and as regards his character and avowed.
or rather professed, sentiments; anal it is doubly unfor-.
tunate that this junction should take place in the wane of
the Duke of Witu.iNcxoN's power, lie can render no
assistance to the falling Premier, but he may lose his
friends and office pretty nearly at the same time, and dia."
grace himself by a connexion which he will most assuredly
repent hereafter. We hope, however, that the rumour is
untrue, and that it will be in our power to-morrow to give
it an unqualified contradiction.—Morning Journal..
We are authorised to state that a Catholic
gentleman of the first respectability, politically unconnected
with any of the great leading interests of the county, will,
on the first opportunity, offer himself to the consideration
of the independent electors of the county of Galway, as a
candidate for the 'amour of representing them in Parlia-
ment, upon purely independent principles.--. Dublin
