TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

recolle& that you, some months ago, cal
ed the attention of the Ranger to the state of Hy(
Park, and I regret very much that your suggestiot
were not attended to. The great increase of ti
metropolis has rendered it almost irr possible for an
one who lilies near the centre of it to obtain a sigl
of a green field, without devoting the whole day
that purpose; it is therefore of great importance
the health, as well as to the comfort of the publi
that they shonid not be deprived of their aceuston
ed exercise in the Parks. Nov, Sir, unless sou
such measure as that which you proposed is adupte
it will be impossible for any person to walk wii
-
safety or comfort in Hyde Park, or at I:SL in th;
part between the S,rpentint river and the road cal
ed Rotten-row. It requires some dexterity, on et
-tering, the Park from Piccadilly, to escape the ut
skilful riders and clumsy charioteers that block
the road. But the inconvenience of which I chief
complain is, that the horsemen do not confine then
'selves to the road, as they used to do, but intro(
on that part of the Park between the roan and tf
Serpentine, which has h therto been left for ;I
pedestrians. That part of the Park which esed to I
clothed with, the most beautiful verdure is no.
completely cut up, in dry weather covered with dos
The untOrtynate person, male or female, 4 ho is rn
enough to attempt to take any exercise oh the w3I
between the Bridge and. Kensington. Gardens, +lt
only runs the risk of being suffocated by the du;
kicked up on both sides, but is in no small daite(
of being run over by. the horsemen who are perky
'wally crossing the foot-eath, The remedy for th
evil is obvious : let the railing be continued troth tit
Bridge to the entrance of the Gardens. I do hoc
that this mark of altention will be shown to tlt
safety and coMf4t of his Majesty's subjects.

Badajoz is an important place ; it rovers the Alec

on one side, and The Andalusias on the other,
remain exposed to be invaded, and the French
