port, on board the good ship Rolla, which sailed
from New York on the 18Th att. Aa s0ou al 1t

Tact, would not, for one instant, phil our deter

III the case is widely different, inasmuch as Ill,
expense for such a distance will scarcely eve
amount to $40, and even through the most mac
cessible country seldom exceed that sum.--N
