To the Honorable the SEC
RETARY AT WAR.
SIR: , .
. Having seen your benevolent
p/otcc f for civilizing (he Indians, by
negotiating intermarriage* with white
people, I am encouraged toTequcft you
wili take my case iuto c,oiifi< e<ation.
You muff know dr, that l am what is
reproachfully ft vied an old maid, which
I assure you is more my mifforune th in
my iauit, for never poor darr.fei tork
greater pains to get married, than 1
have done for the last fourteen years,
I have regularly set rnv cap at eveiy
hing ir the ffiape of man, that .come
itlto our Visage and once thought I
had entangled the Parson of out rarifii
by nieans of certain pious conversation
which took place between us, but dis
cove-ed to n.y utter mortification leme
time afterv/ards, that he only came to
our heufe to ogle a rich widow over
the way.
I next commenced a suit agamft a !
young lawyer, who had read law in j
Philadelphia fix months ami came to !
fer up in our Village wi/h a large stock j
of impudence, and a watfon coat. 1
Whethe* 1 fhouid havpfucceeded in biro !
or not, remain:- a secret to this day for !
at the end of fix months, finding the j
village did not suit him, on account of
its affording no Cults, and that his Wat
son suit w*s nearly rhreadbare, he ’ •
j cauM><ViTom Uie place and went to set
people together by the ears in new
countries.
My third attempt was upon the
fchool matter, a frr.ooth, flick, rofy-fa
ced young fellow from Connecticut,
who was fomev hat of a scholar, a prig,
and a beau. He was a great favorite
it! the town and the Ladies always tit
tered a little when he came into church
to the great annoyance of the parson,
who v/culd't.i hear they should look
at any body but himfelf, I believe—-
I tried hard for the fchoo*rr.after, and
fludied grammar on purpose to ccnju
! gate that charming rerb 4 * I lnye”—
, We ofed to take moonlight walks along
j the mill pond, set on a rock under a
a beautiful Elm- and talk about ih.
twelve signs—the crab, the twins, ihe
virgin and other monllers. and all that
fort of thing. We were getting by
little and little to the point, when one
night I v.*em wkh him to a Merhodift
meeting, where he was struck down,
and afteiwards went a prea'-hing a
monz the b.’.ckwoods I have iince
learned he got to be a member of Con
gress afterwa ds.
But I should tire you fir, ard take
up too much of youir time which be
longs to the public, and the Indians, if
I were to dean ali my attempts upon
‘hat impregnable fortreft, the heart of
man I will therefore wtthour fur

Debate concern} B° na P at ic%
A i ! alL 5 t
In the hoafe cf , Coaitnons-Mr
Ponfonby wished .? what woulo
be the amount of t ie “hole expetife of
guarding the perf< ‘ a cf Bona P atte at
Helena ? r _
I o r d Cafth < was not at prefer*
prepared to state the amount of the
expense. The public would not be
I lieble to the whole expense, but only
1 to the excess beyond what the island
I cost the Kaft India Company. It was
j not merely the interest of this country,
! thAt the eftablifhnr.ent for the custody
of Bonaparte fhculd be such as preclu
ded all poflibility of his escape ; but
it wa? due to the other powers, that
they should have nothing to reproach j
us with on the fubjedl.
Ivlr Tierney thought it unreasonable 1
1 that we should pay more than our pro
. portion of th'<3 expense.
. Lord Caftlereagh (aid, he had dated
f fume time ago, that there were none
i of the allied powers but were to
tiike charge of Bonaparte, without put-
j **lng this country to expeufe ; that it
I not confident wbh good fauh to
the ind*v:dual in queKion, to delwer
him to any other power; and, indeed,
that good policy required he Ihould not
be kept so any part ct the continent.
Mr Tierney said, whatever might be
thought with regard to the allies, tuo’
he law no reason whv they ihouid not
relieve us from a portion of this ex
petif’, still he wanted to know vby
France was not to pay her (hare ? He
wpitid ask, if the keeping of Bonaparte
our of Europe, was not as good a feou
rity for the repofo of Europe, as keep
ing up an army in Franfce ?
Mi Fo ifoi.by tlu-uglic the cuftodv of
Bo.iaparte out of Europe, was an affair
common ro all the European powers,
ano the interest being common, the ex
pense ought also to be common We
might have faij to any of the great
powers you are none of you mailers
of lueh a p fi iori as St Helena, and
therefore iv is for the common imereti
that he should be entrulted to us ; but
then as this is fur the common jiuerdt,
the charge (hould not fqll eiitiiefy r.n
ui; Had this been urged by rhon- to
whom the interest of this country were
cntrutled at the late negeciacions. he
couid not believe that the allies would
have objected to it. At all events
• here cou.d be no reafott why F ,i :ce
ftr. u.d not have been made to p.iv a
f.mh- r sum of money for wha. was so
neceflary <*o herfafety This w'af, one
of the strongest. proufs ever given of
the truth of thi< vulgar faying, whoever
negotiated for England, John Bud was
always made to pay.
M< Hamnuyrfiey asked, if nny pro
p ifition had betm made to tlu. allies,
that they should bear their flta'e of
exoenfe ?
Low! Call lereagh conceivid no for
pignp iwer could wi.fi propriety ha*e
been alked to cci. ributc any fvm r o
expi'udi'ii ?t the U’fiTw : *tj . f y orlvr
power, li would have been requ.ltte
that in this case every >nlh uid
have been n adeth. subj el of
deliberation, whi..li would hove been
contraiy to the dignity of tlu * country.
Mr P ouionby c< u'd not fee how it
was beneath the .iigairy of rhis counrry
to insist th.>t a j !..t benefit fhoulu be
marte j fubjeif of joint eipenfe.
Mr Peel did noi fee any d’ par'ure
from the principle followed in in* cate
of pi lionet :> of war, the expense of
whom were defrayed by each fepeiate
party who took them.
Mr Ponfonby cmrended, that the
case was emirely and ftlj.eut from thai T
prifont-rs of war ; a id as to ihe ch uac
ter of the country, he did not lee h <w
it c.>u!d be raiftd b} paying the wi>ofe
expense, while • e J :* 1 noe

Mr C. W Wynn did dor h e hr sv
our dignity could be ii all aflrdh and by
being relieved of part of this espeuft.
Mr Ponfonby asked, when the a
mount of the experit i for guarding
the person of Bonaparte would be
ready ?
Mr Goulburn said. he fle u’d be en
abled to anfwcr this queftiori on Mon
day next.
