" Though now SO cheap, the thing fear,
VIII prove abominabiy dear"
There is wonderful magic in the word
CHEAP. The news that merchant has got
some articles very low, seis the whole neigh.
borhood agog. No matter whether the thing
is wanted, or mott must be bot. And the
worth of many good plantation is :quandered
in the purchase of things, useless as the fifth
wheel 10 coach, merely because they are
cheap.
NV aunt Eunice, whose wisdom is of the
best kind, iorit is the wisdom Of experience,
used often to warn US the folly OF buying things,
because they arc cheap. II! her younger days
it was her province TO tend the dairy, and eve
ry fifth cheese was her own perouisite. She
had got an hundred weight, and as John Cart
right had attended her home two Sunday nights
running, from singing school, and absolutely
had pressed her hand a little, as be bid her
good night, she had 10 doubt but John intend
ed TO make love to her Not knowing when
he might Pop the question, She resolved to be
in some little state of preparation So to mar
ket she went with her cheese, intending with
the avails to lay in some little necessary arti-
cles against ali emergency.

Aunt Eunice had never been to the city be-
fore, bu, had often heard of the amazing cheap
ness of things there. Her cheese yielded
her in good silver money, two pounds ten
shiilings, to farthing. Who so happy as
she. Methinks see her now, tripping "a
long Granddaughter cheeks rudier than a
psirrain-her hair dressed in the fashion
of those days, with a high commode, little
one side, looking so jaunty. Then her stays
were laced unusually tight, showing the waist
slender as the cream churn. Her stockings
we're of her own knitting and whittier than the
lilly and her high heel'd shoes gave her an
air of ightness and majesty As memory

ken the scenes of youth, other Otjeess,in min

SIR,
In the various unofficial communications
which I have had the honor to make to you,
respecting the appointment of a minister pie
nipotentiary from the King to the United
States, l have endeavored to explain to you
in the most distinct manner, the circumstan--
ces, which had delayed that appointment; and
have expressed my intention to recommend
that il should be carried into effect as soon as
the situation of his majesty's government
might permit. -
The delay was occasioned in the first in
stance Gas stated to you repeatedly by an
earnest desire of rendering the appointment
satisfactory to the United States and condu-
Give to the effectual establishment of har-
,,,onv between the two governments------
Since that period of time the state OF his ma
iesty's government rendered it impossible to
mike the intended appointment.
I was therefore concerned to lind, by your
letter of the iith of January, that the govern

take the liberty of referring you to my
former unofficial letters and communications
for an explanation of the motives which have
induced this government, in pursuance of
those amicable views, which have uniformly
declared, to appoint minister plenipotentia-
ry to the United States. =
have already assured you, that the delay
of that appointment was occasioned in the first
instance by an anxious desire to make it, in
the manner which was likely to prove most
acceptable to the United States. The APP
pointment was recently delayed by the state
of his maiesty's government; and it has ulti-
mately taken place in pursuance Of the princi-
pies, which / have repeatedly stated to you,
and not in consequence of any change Of sys-

1t is, perhaps, unnecessary to repeat the de-
sire of this government. to relinquish the Or

be adopted, without involving the necessity
of surrendering the most important and valu-
