This- Company has had abundant experience of
the extent of the expeoce of every variety of drains,
excavations, and embankments necessary for drain-

through it ; and We know Mr. Griffith to have
had access to their accounts, and that it is with

sources of information, that he has made his cal-

discharging themselves into the minor drains, and

Signed as above.

After an interval of a week, the Morninb m Chro-
nicle has thought proper to advert to some obser-
vations which we made upon a paragraph in that
Paper of Friday lam, re;peaing the course which
ought to be pursued in the event of a temporary
incapacity of the Sovereign. The writer of the ar-
ticle, in the Chronicle of this day, begins by stating,
that he does not know whether the opinion we have
advanced belongs oily to the Editors, or whether
the Paper is made the organ of the sentiments of
Ministers upon that important question. We feel
no hesitation in assuring our opponent, that the
opinion we advanced was our own, and that we do
not pretend to know what-are the opinions or the
intentions of Ministers upon the subjea. The pro-
position in the Morning chronicle, of Friday last,
against which we thought it our duty to enter our
.protest, was (after stating that are kingly power
never ceases, and that upon a King's death his
Eleir Apparent is,forthwith proclaimed), " that in
.the event of the King's incapacity it ought to be the
same; and the two Houses of Parliament have only
to find the fact. If it be declared' to them, that the
King cannot give his royal assent to a doonuieot
which is essential to the order of priblic business,
on that moment the deficiency should be supplied,
and the Regent should be the 'precise Representa-
tive of the Ring." A doctrine more repugnant to
" the principles of the Constitution, and to the prose-
.
tice of it, as far as there has been any precedent upon
the subject, it is difficult to conceive, because it
tends at once to deprive both Houses of Parliament
of all the important functions with which they are
. vested, and to reduce them merely to the situation
of "an Inquest; appointed to ascertain a fact, without
power to give an opinion upon it. Even Mr. Fox
')t, in 1 7 68,ventare to advance, or At least to act
