" It is with the greeted regret that I am obliged
le • 00000 ee the continaanco of his Msjesty's la.
Mented indisnosition."
It mai be that the Prince's regret ethos from his
being obliged to " announce," and not from the
tiling announced; besides, we natorally regret
Oat it to be lamented, the two words being sync-
opooes.
If be had mid—

" It is with deep regret I annoonee the confine.
•uce of his Majesty's indisposition," there would
Mere been nothing etplivneal.'
" I -snow rinse this Session of Parliament ',Mo-
ist impressing the eatisfactiew t►at 1 have derived
from the teal end assiduity with which you have op.
plied 'agrarian to the 'gavial Important objects
which have come ender your consideration."
/1e might have said—
" 1 canting close this Session of Parliament with.
wet 'greasing that I am well satisfied with the seal
and assiduity you have displayed in examining the
IletPfei important objects which have come under your
consideration."
The letter appears to me plainer without the fi.
trews* redandasirs of the former, saying nothing of
Ike two" whittles" succeeding each other so closely.
" Your patient and laborious investigation of the
state of the circulation and currency of the kingdom,
demands ■y warmest acknowledgments; and I en-
tertain a confident especiation that the sacesorua
adopted as the result of the enquiry, will be predate-
live of the most beneficial consequences."
• si Circulation" appears to me superfluous, more
especially as " circulation" here would be synooy.
Nowa with currency ; but "circulation" is not a
maw's! noon; besides, was it impossible to avoid
petting three nouns nearly following each other in
the genitive or objective case, and thereby repeating
"of thr" three limes? In fact, " circulation" can
only have been placed where we bud it, to pre.
vent this dilemma being noticed by the most illiterate.
" I entertain a ennitlent espectation"—how re.
dundant ! Again—" Ike measures adopted as Ike re-
sult of," Why not, " the measures resulting from ?"
Besides, to investigate, means to replete, to search

into.
IVould not the whole paragraph have run better
t►os?—
.• Yoer patient and laborious Investigation into
the owe of the nation's tourney, demands my
warmest a. Innwledgmente, and I confidently expect
that the measures adopted, reseltit•g from your •n.
spiry, will be productive of the must birocfiLial
GENTLEMEN Or TOL Noun OF COMIONI,
" I thank you fur the supplies which you

gret that the slay should have vitiated of making

cipate the most important permanent advantses from

" I sincerely regret that the necessity should have
foisted of adding to the burdens of wry People; bat
I antkipate the most important advantages from the

financial difficulties of the reentry ; and I derive
mach satisfaction from the belief that the mean, you

It will be yen I have here made several alterations,
beside. the.* I have pointed out.

" I have ottaerved with great concern the attempts

Attuning districts, to salty advantage of circumstance•
of local distress, to mite a spirit of disaffection to
Go institutions and government of the country."
lostesd of employing the infinitive of the verb" to
take," would it not have been preferable to hav•
employed the present participle " taking ?" serif%
that the principal object rests on the verb " to es.

" No object ran be nearer my heart than that of
