C N consequence of a want of punctuality
a. on the part of most of our Subscribers
in paying tneir sut)'.;criptiony, the TIMES
will cease to be published after the 'JJth
of next month, which will make 35 num
bers, or eight months since its publica
tion. To those who have paid us for the
whole yt-ar, (and they are "few and far
between,") we shall .stand debtor to the
amount of one dollar, which they will
please to apply for. Those who were
Subscribers when the paper commenced,
and hav e ptiUI nothing, will owe us two
dollars. Those Vh. have paid the first
half year's advance only, will he deficient
fifty cents. Those who live at a distance,
and have not been Subscribers for six
months, will please value the numbers
they have received at 6 cents a number,
and remit us the amount as early as pos
sible: we adopt this method in ordi r to
save the postage of our accounts. It is
j:::iitll iz CC miner the necessity of dis
continuing the paper, but we have hun
gry mouths to feed, and French jiatron
age is slender diet. As the reader may
probably want to know what sort of pat
ronage tills is, we will tell the tale:
Once upon a time a Frenchman who had
taken a newpaper fur four or five years,
and in the course of that time had never
paid a farthing for it, was at length pre
sented with his account by the printer's
