The messages Of the Queen and the President.
are the subject Of criticism By the press. The
Buffalo Gommsrciak1 dpertiser says:
The messages are characteristics, however, and
| we should be satisfied with them. The Queens
lfsfun of the nil 1dastSari phegtn.of. John Bull;
the Presidents as thoroughly american, and,
with Keen eye to business arrangements ia
the future.
Hereis asstlls better and more severe criticism.
from the New York Courier and Enquirer. 4
II would be affectation to say that either of
these dispatches might not have beens better:
We can account for the Queens omission of all
| reference to Providence, and of her neglect also
70 give the President his proper title Of His.
ExceIIency. only by surprising that the writing
was prepared by tile same hand whose Short
conlings in the Message proroguing Parliament
are 80 tlncereTuoni0uSly set forth by the Times;
in paragraphs which we copy in anothereolurnn.
Both these nissiveslack the sententiouSnessd and
point which would have saved them from obIiv-
ion. AS they are, they will soon be forgotten.
correspondent of the N. Y. Times says: 4
What purpor;s to be the Qneen's Message is
not from the Queen at ALI Her Majesty on
being itnportuned by the Telegraph Company,
has apparently commissioned one of the, officers
Of State to send ii, and lie sends il in the third
person, beginning with, "Her Majesty" so as to
show that the Queen did not dictate it, ai1ditlen
goes. on to say, "deSE1eS to congratulate" (pro-
badly at some future time,) "the President on
the successful completion Of this great interna-
tional work." This is pretty well, butiwhy did
not the bungling blockhead stop there? MOI
he must add for his own satisfaction, Isuppose,
the fat termination, SIN which the Queen has
taken the deerest interest, (at least two miles
deep in some placea) 5 seyrs.s1 q
Why did not this member of the Circumlocu-
ton Office write simply asfollows: 80 Z
Queen Victoria congratulates President Bu.s
chanan on the successful laying of the ATTAIN
tic Telegraph, though she claims share Of the
glory she leaves the Field to you without re.
Morse." M $50 or
This would have been short and sweet, and
very much to the purpose, besides being in
more friendly and familiar style.
The New York Post says of the tQueen's
message: Er.,
Without protesting to be familiar with the
ePistOlary etiquette Of crowned heads, we ven
ture to say that there are two features If the
Queens note to President Buchanan which are
a little unusual. Mr.. Buchanan is addressed as
'.the Honorable, instead of "His ExcelIency,' ~
which is the customary style of addressing the
President, and the message is not signed ssVic-
toria," AS it would have been il sent to crowned
head, but is written:in thesthird person.
