IKn CorstN : I enppose you know how
much our folks have complained nt the York
shire folks who have imported their goods tn-
Irrfnushrd into the United States, and sworn
to invoices, too, an all true ; and yet somehow
the laws of the Tariff were exactly not answer
fil, -that is, innko 2 thing half tray, and only
requiring'.Zm'Ain' to make it complete, but
leave (Vic finishing till after the duty was piid.
Well, I was considering anxiously about that,
nnd seeing no way to correct it by the law, I
ihonght I would try my hand in seeing how
the tint tor would work in the shape cf retalia
tion ; and that comes as nigh reciprocity as the J
Pr'me Minister can make it.
I pot safe here on the packet on 8th u'timo,
nnd landed my cases of clocks. The duty was
25 per cent on the value ; and I put down on
the invoice nix shillings ami ninrprncc sfrr
Hmr, each clock. The officer started, and
looking at the invoice; and then at my clods.
"What," says he, "only Gs. 9d for those clocks
.mahogany cases,three feet high, and warran
ted In no !" "That's no po," says he ; I must
seize 'em." "Very well," says I, do. But the
l-i'.v rays you must pay the invoice price and
fn per rent, additional ; and that is all I care
for, so go ahead." And so I left him.
Not caring to seem very anxious about it, I
didifi go lmck to the Custom House for ni;h

This disappointment nnd f.iiiure. in the cxe- ' 'noved from hi.T ciuel purpose, ho smote off the friend, 1-csidc myself, when I (e!t like tnkui' a

Preparations might have been seen for a milita

I 1 rr .it rrt-i.-f .f Croint. elii.iC in 1 tirw li.nj
to be put to death. Tlie captives were guard
ed by a file of soldiers, and the cKcciitioners,
waiting the word of command to draw tip, wrrc
leaning on their weapons, and talking over the
events of the last two days.
Just then one of the inferior officers return
ing to his tent cfter pivitijj some order to the
men, was interrupted by a boy apparently ten
years of age, who, seizing his hand, and speak
ing in nn accent blight!)- foreign, besought him,
j with piteous entreaties, lo procure liiiu admit

I inquiry, that he was the son of one of the pri
j tamers, a soldier distinguished for his eminent
i personal braveiy, w ho had not been taken, even
when overwhelmed by numbers withont giving
and receiving many wounds.
This soldier, weary and wounded, but in
vincible in courage tnd spirit, for he scorned to
ask the clemency of his conqueror, wns now to
suffer death w ith bis companion in nii.-f.irtune.
