possible, however,, think, as he has added lh,
qualifying words, as accurately as c0nld h.

the sum 10 cent? & does not probably plume
himself upon the absolute accuracy OF his cal
cnlatlons, (Which he turns over TO his hand,
] friend the Auditor) that his estimate IN the M:

by mistake. We shall see when he Gyors

hall leave him TO settle this poiat with the
Commodore, at his ease. But, in the mean
time, 10 shew concinsve'y that no oyerdralIs
were made upon lim and that the estimates
with which he had any thing TO do, were all sui
staniially accurate il is only Necessary 10 oh-
