No, sir, upon my honor I am not egotist. -I n'it proud rej'sclf with chateaux en l?spag ne. I am but' a particular gentleman, come here for what I s*id; but since I learn to comprehend the language, I discover that 1 nm bccomv an ohjcct of pleasantry, and for himself to mock, to one of your comedians even before I put mv foot upon tho grownd at Douvre*. II'.' was Mr. Mutheiv, who tell of ?ome contnctem# of nie and your wort! de testable IJox. Well, nevermind, 1 know at present how it happen, hecausd* F see hiin tdnce in some parties and dinners; nnd he confess he love much to ko travel and mix himself altogether up with the stage coach vapouring^ boat for tun, whpt he brings at his the.itrc. Well, never mind, lie sec me, perhaps, to ask a question in th<? pumielMit?hut he not confess after, that he goedund bribe the jjarcon at the iiotcl and one coachman to mystify nu* with all the boxes; hut, very well, I shall tell vou how it arrived, so us you shall see that it was impossible that n stran ger could miss to be perplexed, and to ad vertise tho travellers what will comc after, that they shall converse with the gentlemen and not with the bad instruct*. But, it must thai 1 begin. I am a gentle man, and mv goods are in the |mblic. rentes,! nnd a chattcau with a handsome propriety on the bank of th?* Loire, which 1 lend to n merchant English, who pay me very well in London for my expenses. Vcrv well. I like the peace, nevertheless that I wh* force, at other time, to go to war with Napoleon. But it is passed. 80 I come to Paris in my proper postcliaisc, where I telled him, and it ire one, for almost nothing at all, for bring me to Calais all alone, because I will not bring my valet to speak French here where idl the world is Kijorant. 'l'he morning /??Mowing. I get upon the va pouring boat to walk so tar an Douvrvs. It was fine day?and, after I nm reenter myself of the malady of the sea, 1 walk myself about the shep, and 1 *cc a great me chanic of wood, with iron wheel, and thing ro push up inside, and handle to turn. It seemed tone ingenuous nnd pt-oper to hoist great burthens. They use it (or shoving the timber, whnt come down of the vessel into the placet and they tell me it wns called " Jarpics in the box\" and 1 was very much please with the invention vo novel. Very well. I go again piomenade upon the hoard of the vessel, and I look nt the compass, nnd little boy sailor come und sit him down and begin to chatter like the little monkey. Then the man whit turns the wheel about and about laugh, und say, " very well Jacoues," but I do not under stand one fcword tne little fellow say. S? I make inquire and they tell inc he was M tox the compaM. I was Niirprise, lr.it I till myself, " well, never mind;" and mi we arrive at Douvrca. I find myself enooi;h ^vell itt the hotel, lint us there has been no tahle d'hote, I ask for mime dinner, aad it >vas long time 1 wait: and so I walk myself to the customary Imuw, and give the key to my portmanteau to the Dnwanuiers, or ex cisemen, as you call, for them to see as I had no snowies in mv cqullKi^e. Very well ?I return at my hotel, mid mert one of the waiter*, who tell inc, (alter I st.uid little inom?nt to the doortoj.ee the wot Id what pnsshy upon a eoueh at the instant,) " sir," lie say "your dinner is ready"?"very well," I make response, "where wan it V ??Thin way, sir," he nnswer," 1 have put it in a hox in the cale room." " Well?never mind," I say to myself, " when a man himself finds in a stranger enamtri, he mu-t he never sur prUed?? Nil admitnri.* Hap the eyes opened and Mure at nothing all." 1 found my dinner only|| there there, he cause I whuho soon come fmn Fran e>;hut, I learn, another sort of the hox was a partition and table particular in a saloon, and I keep there when 1 eated tome good vile frilled, and some not eooked mutten cutlet; anil a kentl eman w lisit was put into another hir, perhup*, Mr. Mathew liecaitse no IhiIv not can know hint twite, like a ramelioit lie >?, Mil for the " pepper box.'* Very well. I ti*ke a rup < f 11 Ire, and then all iny hare* and portmanteau conn- with a whtelb.irnm ? and, because It was my itite*ntiort to voyn^e np at London with the coach# ind I find ? Aliortnrmffit*??iH??:rlji*i ire*. i Iliitf Mr mi vajivnr - n sinim ? HmtM?fiiiltlir ftitnl? , |i?iwVt, ioitiflVrr r? rov many Uttle thing* was not convenient, 11 ask the waiter where 1 may buy a night welt, or get them tie up nil together lu a burden. He wss well attentive at my car**, ami responded, that he ahull find me a box to put them all into. Well, I say nothing to all but ?? Yes," for fear to discover my Igno ranee; so he bring the little box fur the clothes and things Into the great box what I was put into | and hodld my aflVirs ht it very well. Then 1 ask him for some spectacle in the town, and ho sent boot-boy with me to far as the theatre, and I go in?o phy. It was shabby poor little place, but tho man what set to have the money, when 1 xty *' how much," asked mo if I' would not go into the face*. "Very well," I say, " never mind? oh yes?to be sure ?" ami 1 find very soon the box was the lodge ; same.tiling. 1 had not understanding sufficient in your tongne then to conipreliend nil what 1 lienr?only one poor nfttiger doctor, who had been to give his physiu too long time at a cavulici* old msn, was condemned to swallow up u whole box of bis proper pills. " Very well," 11 say, '* that must be ngrcginos. It is cannot be possible but they bring little a box not more grand nor my thumh It seem to be to me very ridiculous; so 1 returned at my ho tel nt despair how I could possibility learn a ; language what meant so many different* in :one Word. I I found the same waiter, who, so soon as I came in, tell me, " Sir, did you not say that you would goby the conch tomorrow mor ning ?" 1 replied ' Yes, and I have bespcak cd a sent out of the side, because I shall wish to amuse myself with the country, und have no crfbriolets* in your couches.' 'Sir/ lie say, very polite,' * If you shait allow me, 1 would rccoutmnul you the box, and then the coachmnu shall tell every thing." * Very well,' I reply, ' yes, to be sure, 1 shall have a ?box then, yes and then 1 demanded a fire 'into my Chamber, because 1 think mvself jenrhomed upon the sea, and the maid of the jchamhcr,'com<* to send me in bed : but I say, * No so quick, if you please : 1 will write to ! some friend-how I find myself in England. .Very well, here is the fire, hut perhaps it 'shall go out before I have finished/ She i \vns pretty laughing young woman and say, .'Oh no, sir, if you pull the hell, the porter t who sit up all night, will come, uiiIcilh you like to attend to it yourself, iimI then you will i find the coal-A<?;r in the clouct.' Well, I s.iy [nothing but ? ves, oh yes.' Hut, when she ik | gone, 1 look direct into the closet, nod see a \box n?t more like none of the other Ao.rct j what 1 sen all day than nothing. J Welt?1 write at my friends, and then I I tumble about when I wake, and dream in the I sleep what should possible be tlie descrip tion of the box what 1 must br put into to morrow for my voyage. In the morning, it was very fine time, 1 see the coach at the door, and 1 walk all round before they bring the horse.*.; but I see nothing what they can cmII boxea, only the 'same kind as what mv little business was 'put into. Sol ask fin* the j>ost of Icttcts at a i littlw boots boy,who showed me by the Quay, I and tell me, pointing by his finger ut n win !dow, 'there see, there was the letter-box* .and 1 perceive a crevice. 'Very well, all box again to-dav,' 1 say, and give my letter 1 to the master of postcs,'nnd go away again at 'the conch, where 1 very soon find out what | was coach-box, and mount myself upon it. ;Then come the coachman, habilitated like the gentleman, and the first word lie sav was?" Keephorses 1 bring my Ao.r-coat 1" and lie push up a grand capotc with many scrapes. * But, never mind,* I say ; ' I shall sec nil the boxen in time. So he kick Ills leg upon the Itoard, and c?y 'cheat !' and we are out into the country in les<trr than one minute, nr.d roll nt so grand pare, what 1 have had feared we will lie reversed. Hut after little times I take courage, and we begin to enter tnin tog? ther : but 1 hear one of the wheels cry squeak, >?? I tell him 'Sir, onr of the wheel would he greased then he tnak: re ply, nonchslancely, 'Oh, it is nothing hut one of the bo ret which is too tight.' But it I is very long time after as I learn that wheel a box was pipe oi iron what go turn rouiul up'<n the axle. I Well, we fly nw&y nt the pace of charge. I ' I see great castles, many j then come a prct-1 J ty house of eountrv well ornamented, and I. | make inquire wliat it should be. 4 Oh,' res |ponded .ie, * I not remember the gentleman's j name, hut it L wliat wc call a snug country ! box. * Then I ferl myself ahynied nt despair, nnd l>egin *.f? suspect that he amused himself. ? Well, nevermind ; we shall see.' And then nfter sometime*, there eomc another house, jail alone in n forest, not omaud at all.? !4 What, how ynu rail that V I demand of j him. ' Oh/ h?* responded ag tin, ? th'tt is a J shotting box of lord Killfot*.' ?Oh,' 1 cry 'at last, 4 that m little too strong ;* Vut he lunged his fthniildct* and say nothing. We'l wc come at h"uve of country, ancient, with the tress cut 'ike some peacocks, and ! de mand, 4 what y?'U call these trees *' 4 //o.i sir,' he toll mi', ' Devil is in the bor,' 1 say at myself. ? Hit*, never mind, ?ve ??hall see.' So I mvw'.l refreshed with ? pinch of snuff, and offer li'in, and he take very pdite and remark ti}K?n an nut in', 'that is very hand some box of wmrs sir.* ? Morhleu !' I ex claimed wi:It imidvrrtsntrynctt, hut I stop inyw lf. 'I'Jteti he pull out hiswnuff-Ao.r, and I take a plm'ii, hcause 1 like nt home to Iw snciahlc when I am out nt voyages, and uw show sou in pride with inferior. It was ?f wo< d beautiful with Miru>n?'?, and color fi yellowish. Sol was o'e*srd to admire ver; much, and Inquire th?- name 'if the wood, -??ir1 ajr tin he s. y 4 box sir.' Well, hold fnvsc f with pat if lire, hut it w as 'lifflrllly j ami < ?? keep with great gallop, *-i 11 wc come nt grc it erowd of the people.

I tell myself,?n battle ol bfixf I* Well, nev er mlml. 1 hope it can he a combat at the outrance,and they all ahull destroy ooc anoth er, for 1 ant fatigued.' Well, we arrive at an hotel, eery superb, all at it ought, and I demand? morsel to re fresh myself. 1 rn into a saloon, w( before I finish, (treat noise tome Into the passage, and I pull the bell's mpe to demand whv so ireat tapagc .? The waiter tell me, and he lough at same t'me, hut very elvll 'no lew, *0h air, it is only two ??f the woman what 3>tarrel, and one has given another a box on leenr.* Well, I go hack on the coach box, hut I look, as I pass, at nil the women ear, for the box, but not one I see. ? Well,' t tell my self once more, * never mind, we shall see ;' and we drive on very pasnanleandagrctable times till wo approached nurse I ves near London ; but then enme one other coach of the op|>o sitionto pass by, and the coachman say, *no my boy, it shan't do !' and then he whip his horses, and made some traverse upon the road, and til to me, all the time*, a long ex plication whnt the other etwehmen have done othcrwhilrs, and finish nbt till we stop; ar.d the coach of opposition come behind him in one narrow place. Welt, tlierf he twist himself round, mid with full voicccry him w?lf out at the another man, who whs so an gry ns himself, ? I'll tell y?iu what, foy hear ty ! if yon comes some more of your Summon at me, I shan't sraml, and you shulllyourself find ?n the wiwig A or.* It was not jor runny weeks after as 1 find out the wrong titx mea ning.

Hut I am apprehensive It will he nlnu.st Impossi ble, from various causes, to effect, at this day mv material alteration in the svstem. The revenue derived from the stock held by the government in the United States Bank is wery inconsiderable; not amounting I Im? llevi\ to more than (70,000 per annum; and here permit oie to remark, that if the pro fitfrfrom this source were ten times as great and its facilities to the financial operations of the government, ten fold what -.hey are, lr would afford no adequate contentions to my mind, to cherish and sustnin that gigan tic power, whirl), in my opinion, isdcs.imd nt no very distant day, to he wielded with a billing nnd withering energr against the purity of our free iwtitutiMi* Should the conAtry however, determine to re-charter this hank, I shall still hope to see the day when the funds ot the government will be withdrawn from its vaults. This government, has recently received from (ireat Britain, the Mint of one million two hundred thousand dollars to satisfy our citizens f>r private property, taken from them during the last war, hut remaining in the limits of the United States on the day the treaty of (ihent w:i? concluded i he militia nf thc United States, accor ding to 'lie irregular and defective returns, I made ta the War Dep. vtmenr, for tlie year 1*27, amounted to one million two hundred! and eight thousand fonr hundVed and nine t? on. 1 perceive from these document*, the militia of S>uth C*ar< linn, is put to thc di mioutive number of :M,4~f>.
