TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stß,—ln presenting the public with this new pro-
duction, my grand object has been to render the speak-
ing of French as easy and familiar to English persons,
as if they studied in Paris. To accomplish this great
desideratum, I have composed the essays on the rules
of passages and sentences used in ordinary discourse.
By construing them into French, the pupil will not
only store his mind with useful expressions, but he
will likewise insensibly imbibe just notions of the
Grammatical technicalities of the language. This is
of the utmost importance for speaking French ; for,
unless the learner is properly trained up in the prac-
tical part, he will never be able to hold the least dis-
course with a native of France, although he may be
a proficient in the theory of the language. The na-
ture of the French Verbs is, also, exhibited in quite
a new and clear manner, and the remarks on pro-
nunciation are collected from the present practice of
the fashionable circles in Paris. The work is con-
cluded by a Grammatical Analysis, and a Treatise
on French Prosody and Versification; besides a
'Classified vocabulary, a compendium of familiar
phrases, and numerous models of notes, letters of
compliment and business. In the execution of the
whole, in short, the speaking of the language has a
proininent feature; and I flatter myself this Gram-
mar will be found peculiarly adapted to the capacity
of the generality of learners, being divided into sixty
easy lessons and essays, which will prove no less
instructive than agreeable.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
London, Feb. 18, 1828. J. V. DOUVILLE.

Tire SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS>

expendit,u,ithr:arseimspuiciftheaatsiocnannoof ttht:ailp
liemaackceoaurist-ezrj:
Mr. I"<sel's avcrwals on Friday last, with regard to
the props:as:ion between our national revenue and
serious imi treson on the country. The Home Se-
cretary, tete: he recommends, as a most important
object. public
pronounces a. severe but well-deserved Condemnation
of the wretched system so long and obstinately per-
severed in, by which the state of our affairs was made
a studied mystery to all but the Finance Minister of
the day and his confidants, and under which every
degree of iniquitous extravagance could be safely
practised, while objections and justifications were
equally unintelligible to the public with the data on
which they were supposed to stand. What TsTr.
Nicholas Vansittart would have fainted with honor
at but imagining—namely, an overthrow of the en-
tire mechanism of official humbug, which owed so
much of its maturity and perfection to the diligence
of that smooth-faced and conscientious personage—
comes now enforced by Royal authority, as a mea-
sure of urgent and permanent reform. We are not
at the same time disposed to flatter out countrymen
with the prospect that the knowledge of their own
condition, which is thus hereafter to be laid open to
them, will be of the most flattering or encouraging
nature. The fact is, that towards a real mitigation
of the burdens entailed upon us by the last tremen-
dous war, and, consequently, towards tha means of
preparation for another contest, should it (which.
God avert !) become necessary, the Government of
Lord Liverpool, has done absolutely nothing during- a
peace of almost fifteen years. If some diminution,
more apparent than solid, has taiten place in thts
amount of interest payable on the gross debt, in the
year 1827, as compared with 1823, a much more
considerable increase has been effected in the other
expenses of the Government, apart from the interest
of debt : as, for example, the expenditure for 1823
was stated by Mr. Peel to be, in round numbers, in-
cluding every thing, about 47,700,000/. For 1827,,
the gross expenditure was 49,700,000/. But in th,
mean time, according to Mr. Peel, during these five
years the interest payable on the public debt in va-
rious branches had been reduced from 29,200,0001.
to 28,200,000/. So that, allowing for this diminua
tion of interest, the expenses of the Government had
been augmented by no less than 3,000,0001, ster
ling per annum ! There is another view to take of
this subject, which ought to fill the country with
sentiments the reverse of satisfaction. Although
there seems to be abundant credit taken for the
above decrease of interest on the debt, we 111U,51
lessening of that interest was produced. It was,
recollect by what sort of financial operation the
not by fairly paying off principal, and so re-
*hieing the body of the debt, but by diminish-
ing the rate of interest from 5 per cent:, on one
occasion, to 4, and in another from 4 pa;.
cent. to the whole amount of 'lilOney which
has been applied in all the period under con-
sideration, to the reduction of the debt being, in Mr.
Peel's own words, about 12,000,0001. It will be
seen from these, among other facts, what a duty is
in store for the Finance Committee, and what a
mass of deception, as well as profusion, they have ta,
contend s,:th, when every Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, for a long series of years, has gravely talker:
of the Sinking Fund of 5,000,000/. or 5,500,00 W.,
as if it were a thing really existing, and not a mere
piece of legerdemain,—a yearly loan, in the form of
Exchequer Bills, or some other kind of engagement,
and nicknamed a "fund for the gradual redemption,
of the debt." To the names composing Mr. Peel's
Committee, we see but slight objection. Why tv,-o
or three of the persons named should be members of
it, is, indeed, hard asa conjecture; but they are re-
deemed by otheris in whom the country may con-
fide. We had looked with some certainty to an its.
timation that Lord Althorp was destined to be
Chairman of this Committee. Mr. Huskisson, it is
stated on the authority of Lord Godericii, had de-
clared his own " honour and character" to be in-
volved in the appointment of the Noble Lord to the
chair. How comes it, then, that Sir Henry Partied
should be the gentlemen intended, as we hear, for
that important situation,—a man of industry and
honesty, as all will allow, and one more versed in
financial subjects than in any other, but still an indi-
vidual comparatively of no political reputation oa
weight, and no " guarantee" to the people for a.
sound report? How comes it, then, we say, that
Mr. Huskisson has not insisted on Lord Althorp
with the Duke of Wellington, as he did with Mr.
[Terries and with Lord Goderich ? Is it that. the
Right Hon. Gentleman is less anxious about his etw,
racter and honour than he was six weeks ago 0a
is it that Mr. Huskisson was really brought into tbs
Wellington Cabinet, to be lowered as a public mans and
therefore deprived of all power to do good as one of a,
future opposition to that Government' There is
still a necessity for this Gentleman to explain his
conduct, and explain he must. Lord Normanby ,
will this day pat him Its, his " purgation." Ilia
Lordship has given notice of his intention to both
the parties concerned—Messrs. Huskisson and Hers
rie. So eager were some people for the adjourn
ment on Friday, that they forgot to fix a time on
which to re-assemble, and the Speaker was forced
to make a House on Saturday, when she tneetiag
for this day was settled.—Times.

The Tory Journals of Scotland,—forgetful of the
innumerable Melville jobs which formerly illustrate;
that classic land of jobtring,—have begun to express a
kind of mock-heroic indignation at an Edinburgh
fiscal appointment of the last 'Ministry. The facts
1 of this case, with all their aggravations,—for we
have no desire to palliate or disguise them,--are tile
following. When the Scotch Boards of Customs
and Excise were reduced a few years ago, and placed
under the corresponding Boards in England, those
members of them whose services became unneeessary
were allowed to retire on pensions, with an under-
standing that when recalled into efficiency, their
himself, and benefit to
pensions should merge in their salaries. The Sec..e
tary to the Board of Customs died last summer or
autumn, and thus an opportunity aro.-.e, for carrying
into execution the principle of this arrangement, by
bestowing the appointment on one of the retired
members. The Board in Scotland recommended e.
eentlernan every way qualified for the ofrieheisb
ledge, activity, and experience ; and the Supreme
the sitting

chief Whin. politicians of Edinburgh, as
soon tcworethey w, •
made acquainted with the proceeding,
s
iepresented its impolicy, and strongly protested
against it. The fortunate Secretary is an illegiti-
mate brother of Lord Aberdeen, who was in opposi-
tion to the late Ministers, and who has now become
One of their successors. The Whigs had nothing
mere to do with the appointment than with the no-
mination of the Prime Minister's butler ; and if
they are at all to be blamed, it is because they did
not immediately retire from the Cabinet when they
heard that their chief had been guilty of an abuse
of patronage to the amount of 400/. a-year?—lbid.
Tke disposition that our Military Premier may
make of the Church Patronage will show tno;*
decidedly than any thing else whether the under-

Standing that said to prevail, namely, that the Ca-
tholic Question, under his Government, shall be
left to its own merits—has any foundation in truth.
From the only reason given by Mr. Peel for not
kting under Mr. Canning (for he did not objea to
act wit 4 him), it is quite evident how formidable an
..enine he considers this patronage, when withdrawn
from the support of his own particular views upon
this subject. Doubtle,;a the Member for Oxford Lai
acquired thin experience from an intimate knowledge
of the motives of his own constituent: ; and althonA
- his open avowal of it is but little complimentary to
them, they (to use a common phrase) will not he-
sirate to pocket the affront. One or two names have
been mentioned -ince the return of the opponent': of
Emancipation to office, as expectants of promotion to
Deaneries, Bishoprics, &e &e,, who have made a
great noise in the pact: as the loudest yelpers of she
beastly .‘ No Popery" cry. Should these indivi-
duals unfortunately gain their ends, we shall have
-
every hungry priest who pants for preferment pros-
tituting his pulpit with the ravings of intolerance.
We trust, that the Gallant Duke, however squeamish
about the term " guarantee," will not disappoint the
public by departing from the principle which it hag
been thus supposed he has laid down for his con-
duct. If, however, he should do so, we regret that
we cannot threaten him, after what has passed, with
the probability of any of his present colleagues aban-
doning him. They all appear to deem their own
individual services of such immense importance to
the ccuntry, that their pyre patriotism leads them
(contrary to what has formerly taken place under
similar circumstances) to sacrifice all the minor but
personal considerations of honour, gratitude, and
consistency, to the safety of the State, which they
evidently think would be endangered by their dere-
liction of place. The nation hag hitherto been slow
in discerning the true springs that have regulated
their movements.--Morning Chronicle.
