The reason why Mauritius may read us a lesson to be used in South Africs is that by al- lowing the French language to be used in Council, and pleaded in Court, and the like, we have allowed Mauritius to remain French in feeling, when it should have ceased to be so. If we allow the Boers of the Orange and Trans- vaal Colonies to make official use of their Dutch patois we shall commit the gravest of erre We must englify South Africa even at the cost of present convenience.
