TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Grammar, of which the fourth edition has just ap-
peared, will be found eminently useful for self-instruction. It is
the best companion which a person desirous of learning the
French language can possibly have. The Essays on the rules of
the language are all colloquial, and form a valuable repertory for
conversation. By construing these familiar exercises into
French, according to the method recommended in the Key, a
person is kept in constant practice, and may learn the French
language with as much facility. as if studied it in Paris.
I am, Sir, your's respectfully,

N.B.—M. Douville is also the author of an excellent in-
troductory book to the French language, in 19 lessons.

Accounts from Frankfort, by the above conveyance, state that
one of the private Secretaries of the Emperor of Russia had ab-

journey to Berlin.

Accounts from Paris say, that Casimir Perier had a long con-

after the arrival of the extraordinary courier trom Madrid, on his

pose with all his force the introduction of a change of affairs in
Portugal.

King of Holland deli, it still further, or make an unreasonable
demand, the treaty is to be ratified forthwith by the Powers with.

We hear that Count Orloff is expected to arrive in London
on Monday or Tuesday next, when the affairs of Holland will
be finally adjusted.
