After considertog a little time, the Col. said, t' there is so:ne !i t!e difficult about giving this bill Mr. Wright, hecause the latsl: ess which is com• ing on before the House of Commons, which uo dodo! von have heard of, makes it a very delicate matter for me to pot my own tr,:iid to paper, because it may frustrate our purpose;'' the Co lonel cuutinued, " I will go doavn to Sir Richard Phillips to morrow morning, and he and some one else will give you their bill,without my money ap nearing, and you may depend on I:ear big fro:n me in the afternoon, or next day morning without fail. On this we parted ; 1 then applied myself and made every pos sible dispatch in getting the articles tini.bed for Clarke's howe. Front the manner of Colonel Wardle's behaviour, and she lihera:ity of his giving his orders, I never sup posed that the Colonel would vtosider the wfille-washer's bill, fair cleaning . the inside of the House, and the painter's NW far paifitiog the outside, would have been objected t 0. as the Colonel sheeted every disposition at that time, that Dirs. Clicke's Wass should be furnished complete, and matte as Comforaible as possible ; in short no limitation was considered necessary. Some days elapsed before I heard from the Colonel; . • • at length a 'Mr. Glern•e . called upon me with a letter he had re ceived from Colonel IVar:'le, which letter he gave me to read ; • the purport of it e‘ressed very warm terms of friendship to Mr. Glannie, desi ring Mr. G. to call on tue to set my mind at ea%e,with the fullest as s urance that I might depead an having the bill for 5001. as soar as the ioresSAation was over; that it wasa delicate matter for the Colonel to courinit himself in Writing, before haul, and that I might place itgplicit reliance on Colonel Wardle's honour and honesty as a gentleman, and that w bat ever the Colour! engaged to do t might depend •he would fulfil. to the extent. 1 told Mr. (Actinic I had no manner. of doubt of Colonel Wardle's honour as a gentleman, but that he had pro ;visa(' ale I. should have a hill for •53.)% without fail v and that I.h.:d do maos my arrangements that I could not ipossibly do wit:tout it ; therefore, l iteged Mr. Glennie to tell the Colonel l• could out do a ithout add the bill I must have. Mr. Octane 10-re observed. he thought the house Mrs. Clarke had taken tv:a much larger than she had occasioo for, and was fe;:rfut she was a v evravag •ot w oean, and would rim his ft icial War.lic to a very great e v paoce., and be, e 4.1 . 10 0 %n0t to intro duce to fir-. e :I,le furniture, as ile illllloll it• quitc inmecessa y; Af. w days afterwards, whica was nn the `2 to ttr December idOS, st .'t r. litnigwort 4, of Vail-Mali, called on nor, and sail t w t friends of his had desired 11:m to call on me, au.; give me hi:acceptance for 5)0!. 1 told 11 r. th l had b. - et expecting him, or saute one front his friends, this fortdiaitt rait, but s a- glad tit see litat now. .
