SIR have the honor 20 acknowledge the receipt Of
your ExcelIencys letter of tc 3s July ia answer to
mine Of the 9th and 18th of the same month When
this communication shall be submitted TO the President
he will doubtlessbe gati6cd at the renewed assurance il
contains of asncerc desire to procure speedy and faith
fu execution, the part Of France Of Che stipurtions
contained in the treaty. But cannot and ought not
IN candor TO conceal my persuasion, that lac will feel
great surprise and regret when I've looks in in that
communication for repetition Of the assurances given
by VI Serurier as TO the time NJ which the law for
cutting the treaty Will be submitted 10 tlIc Chambers
This disappointment will be the greater because my
note Of the 18th drew the attention Of your Excelency
to ta subject by quotation from the letter of Serurcr

turaly think, required particular notice As the extent
Of this engagement Of llis Macstys Minister al Wash.

to have informed Congress Of the change which this
refusal Of the Chamber calculated to produce in the
relations between the two countries But he was anx.
ious TO prevent any that might increase the
irritation naturally felt by the nation, and the Minister
OF France assured that message would be cent to
Congress until tho arrival Of his Instructions BY an
unusually long passage, these did not arrive until

BY DIR. GREENE,


Three Jolly husbands, out in the count

Brown, aud Bill Walker, set late one eve
ming drinking at a village tavern, until be-
ing pretty we'll corned, they agreed that
each one, on returning home, should do
the first thing his wife told him, in default
of which he should the next morning pay
the bill Then they separated for the
night, engaging to meet again the next
morning and give an honest account ot
their proceedings at home, so far as they
related 20 the payment Of the bill.
The next morning, Walker and Brown
were early at :helr posts but it was some
time before Watson made his appearances.
Walker began first.

For the Intelligencer.

Mr.. Editor .--F or several years past,
my wife has been almost ia the daily
practice of importuning me to buy a
lottery ticket. Being, as You well
know, somewhat parsimonious, and
therefore not willing to lay out money
for such detestable commodity as this,
/ have heretofore resisted her importu-
mites, invariably repeating the well
known adage, ga bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush." Having re-
ceived my Intelligencsr yesterday,
from the hands Of my venerable and O.
bligiog friend, Mr.. Stousr, / immedi-
ately set about the making Of myself
master its contents. Amongst the
many interesting articles it contains, is
is one on the fss. page, headed, First
and last ticket" read to myself this
deeply interesting and admonitory mar
rative the second time over, and then
Immediately laid my paper aside. In
the evening, after my wife had got
through with her culinary affairs, and
taken her seat at her sewing table, !
took down the paper aforementioned,
and read aloud the instructive narrative
in question. She gave to its perusal
the strictest attention. Having Anish-
ed, L Immediately propounded this ques-
ton: Well wife, are you still desi-
rous that shall expend money in buy
ing lottery tickets { "No" says she
emphatically, "ha0e nothing to do with
Mem."
How many others will the perusal Of
this narrative convince ofthe aagitious
folly Of expanding the fruits of their la
bour in the purchasing of such con-
temptible trash as "lottery tickets :"
