MIsTRANsLATtoN.-Th Washington corespon-
dent of the Philadelphia Ledger calls attention TO
an error in the translation of NJ. de TocQueville's
letter, at the State Department, which alters Its
sense. The original paragraph is as follows:

rege dams SeSF0ppOrts Ls GOuUeTRsnt des EtatS
Unis, ct j'af Ia ooqiance qa' eR Uendra tobser'

The translator renders this; s
SCI invite NJ. Poussln never to forget this rule, in
MS lnlefC0uTB6 Wild Jne Government OF tne OHl6u
States, and am sure that If 1t beTeclprOCdted the
observance Of it lViH be rendered easy to hiHl."
The passage in italics implies thar NJ. Poussin's
observance of courtesy to the United States VIII
be regulated by it's observance on their part to-
wards him, that he would find it easy, if recpro-
Gated. The true translation is more courteous, as
it expresses the confidence that the observance will
be reciprocated: "I am sure that the observance

readily perceived that there is all the difference
in these translations that there is between brus-
qqerie and courtesy.

TKEAsoNABLE CoRREsPoNDENcE.-Th Canada
papers announce that Lord lElgin, Governor Gene.

the Canadas to the United States. The charge Of
treason can only be established by showing some
combination to overthrow the existing government
| by force. We have not heard of any thing in Ca
| NADIA yet which looks like a cause for any such
| purpose.

last year to make brief reference to complaint
on the part of purchasers of a want of proper ear
