about costume, though it can surely be not very
hatterng to civilized nation that an envoy accre-

he were intending to astonish Patagonians or Ash

pride under black cloth as gold embroidery, and,
fcustom is still for tnsel it is hardly worth while
to affect singularity in such matter. But, with
respect to the duties of all British representatives
