AS I had before defigned to make Pa- 

 ris my refidence for the principal 

 part of the winter, I had written to a friend 

 to hire me lodgings, as I did not care to be 

 fo long at a hotel. I rode immediately to 

 them in the Rue de la Come'die Frangoife. 

 I had what we call a dining-room and a bed- 

 chamber, large and well-furnifhed rooms, 

 with an apartment for my fervant, at the 

 rate of five guineas a month. At London 

 the fame rooms would have coft me, in a 

 good fituation, at leaft eight guineas. I 

 was alfo furnished with linen, china, and 

 whatever other utenfils I (hould want.
