'We have frequently had occasion to remark the looseness with which the official notices inserted in the London Gazette are drawn up. There are three classes of the Order of Vasa; but it is impossible to ascertain from this notifi- cation which class of the Order has been conferred upon Mr. DUKE. We ad- mit that it matters little ; but if sufficient importance be attached to these things to cause their publication by authority in the Gazette, they ought to be done correctly.
