complain of getting out of a mess.

suitable and necessary appuirlage to her high station an 4
dignity, as a service of plate, this I hope I may he ex-
cused in taking the liberty of forwarding to the Committee.
through the channel of yourself, what I now enclose, to he
added to the subscriptions.—Allow me to remain, deer C.r.
your obedient Servant, DARLINGTON

strenuously urging their attendance! The resolu-
tion, moreover, would not have passed, had it nut
carefully avoided every thing like an approval of
Ministers.
