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.

TABIT£IASFINST' k ‘ BRITISH PARLI/ MFNr ’ 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!

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 b t *iie r tCU 111 t,ie * anit? d * e r< e * u Mr C.
