TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—A para,Yrapli, healA "Telegraphic Difficulties,"
appear:ng in the Daily Ncw3 of this date, states that
inessagea for Lisbon, if written in Enlist], are trans-
lated into French for transmission to Paris, into Spanish
for transmission into Spain, and int) Portuguese for
transmission into Poi tugal.

The paper from which you have extracted this pars•
graph has, however, been misinformed, for despatches
for France, Spain, or Portugal can be written either in
English, French, Spanish, or Portuguese, and no trans-
lation whatever is made en route.

By the use of the Morse system of telegraphs the ne-
cessity for translation, and the consequent liability to
error, are avoided, and this company daily receives and
despatches messages in all the languages above-men-
tioned. _ . .

Fearing that the public might hesitate to submit their
messages to the trying orLleal indicated, I have ventured
to trouble you with this exp!anation —I am, &c.,
L. WALTER COURTENAY, Sec.
Submarine Telegraph Gimpany, Secretary's
Department, June 26.
