The strict atten- tion manilested by the corps, during its t-tay there, to fulfil the laudable mirpose tor which they liad assembled, and their wry orderly and soldier- like conduct, entitle them to the-highest com- mendation.

Tuesdav iabt, the firt-t and third battalion* of loyal Brcconshire volunteers met in a spacious ri field near that town, and were briguded under the n immediate orders of Lieut.-Col.

The serenity of the weather, (in general) mrmber of spectators, and groups of beau- tiful fema-ieS,' witnessing the exertions of their gallant defenders, added to the brilliancy of the scene, the^ tout ensemble of which can only be con- ceived". A proud day this for Cambrians loyal sons the steady behaviour, of the brigade in the ftéld justified the following regimental orders, which were issued before the Colonel left the town :— II. O.

Five to three in favour of Mr. Moore at start- inig, at the end of tlie first mile even betting, and at the end of the third, six to four in favour of Cap- tain Stokes. We, have uniformly felt it a sacred duty to im- press upon the,minds of the people, the horrors to which they will be subjected in the event of our inveterate enemy being permitted to obtain a foot- ing in this country, and cannot therefore with- hold our approbation of a similar conduct on the part ol )ih ih Hence we are much gratified at the public-it on of a small tract in the Welsh lan- gusie entitled /Iw Addim* to the Pt cple of Greul Britain /upqn the Ima&iony many thousand copies of which have been transmitted to the Welsh Post-offices for general circulation* 'grtttki • and we do most- strongly recommend the Clergy to dis- seminate this Righly-valuable little work as Jar as possible in their respective parishes.

A letter has been received from Captain Frank (Tin(jy, of the Betsy, (captured at the same time as the Momstown, Captain Harries, 6f this port,) by his friends, dated at Verdun, May 1. He was land- ed in France on the 7th of March, and after a march of nearly 600 miles in- eleven days, armed at Ver- dun. There were about 7:00 English prisoners at Verdun at-the time of Captain Cuddy's writings These, we apprehend, are chiefly masters of vessels and other officers; as in another part of his let- ter he says the foremast men are at Charlei-n on t., Among the prisoners at Verdun, Capt. C. mentions Captains G;. Cooper, of Bristol, William Harries, of Swansea, J. Sincock and W. Purchase, of Penzance, Jenkin, of Clovelly, and John Jaine*, of the Mount. These were all in good health, and had the liberty of walking about the town and a. short distance into the country; but were obliged to attend twice every day at a certain offiee, and- inscribe their names in a book kept for that purpose. They are allowed 20 livres (about ;.24s.-2<i;) each, which is barely sufficient to find them necessaries.

Upon further enquiry, we ifnd, that the state- ment in our last paper, of a representation having been made to the Ordnance-office relative to the issue of powder for the late sham-nght on this coast, was incorrect in conveying an idea that the same had been sent by a naval officer; we therefore embrace the earliest opportunity of exonerating that most respectable class from such a foul impu- tation, particularly as we have now reason to be- lieve no such representation was ever made. Neath,fair, yesterday, exhibited a tolerably large shew of fat oxen, which met a ready sale at good prices; pigs varied but little in value; horses sold high, and found many purchasers. Lampeter fair, on Wednesday, was plentifully supplied with cattle, which,sold- readily at high prices the demand for pigs was trifling, and they declined considerably; horses wentott briskly at advanced prices..

A report has-been in general circulation, that loaf sugars were about to be raised in price, we are happy, therefore, in havingit in our power to con- tradict it, and to announce that loaf sugars have fallen in Bristol market two shillings per cwt. Last week an inquisition was taken at Ewelmj- Oxfordshire, on view of the body of Mr. John Eyre, a farmer, who, the preceding day, in the absence of his family* hiuig himself on the ballusters of the stairs.—Symptoms of derangement had been Ob- served for some time, and the jury accordingly re- turned a verdict of Lunacy. Superstition.—It will scarcely be credited, that, at a momentlikethe present, when the1 universal dissemination ot knowledge has been thought by every one to have expelled the mists ol supersti- t ious credulity, and established the doctrines of ra- tional dqvotion tippn its basis, that an instance, which exceeds-even the boasted miracles of ntonkish relics in absurdity, at present exit ts to prove how lar" the mind^ of niankind may be wa..ed into a belief ofthe must obvious and, wickcd impositions, by the bold pretensions of art ignoi-aqt wujatic to effect supernaturalmiracles, aided I)y in- spiration. In the parish of Kingsland, in Herelard- shire,there resides a woman ofthename of Hughes, the wife of a labourer, who, in consequence^ ui? she declares, of her interview with angels, and the par- ticular inspiration of Heaven, protesses to cure all the infirmities-to which the human frame is liable, by. merely touching the parts affected, and offering up, at the same time, a prayer for the success of her endeavours. So general has been the infatuation and superstitious belief of an immease number of the inhabitants of that county, (and even the-ad- joining .counties are constantly sending pledges pf joining counties are constantly sending pledges pf their credulity) that her Ux-te one morning was at- tended by two hundfed persons, and since the com-- men'cement'of for practice (about six weeks ) the num- ber.of the^a^vi/k/. who havenvaitdd on her, cannot, be less than three thousand She says she is -not permitted, to receive any thing as a remuneration for. the exercise of-her wonderful powers, as her re- ward will be in the next worJd; but her spouse and thcirJlalfnaked children are generally jess obsti- nate in refusing to take what the gratitude of the dupes of superstition may- prompt them to offer,, and amoagst them are pcopie of property and re- spectability in life. Duel.—During the last week, it was agreed on by a Mr. S--—n, .and- Mr. M—n, both of Liverpool, that two ,ternale-s;.J( the-names', mention- ed) should play a game at. darts through a- tube— the game was played, and Mr, Mi won, but Mr. S. refused to pay, in consequence, a second game was played, which was also won by the same gen- tleman.Mr. S. still refusinir to pay, a scuffle en- sued, when Mr. S. repiiedj he would pay him in some other- way." On the following, morning, two brace of pistols were sent ? the piace where the ime bad-been played, andUVIr. M. wras also sent tor; on his entering the roem the door was locked; and to his astonishment, a brace of pistols were 1 'Luted to him by Mr.- S,. who insisted that the: ..other should either fight him, or ask his pardon the latter being refused,-they each took their sta- tion and fired, but without any injury being done to either. ■ Lancaster, May$6. — About half-past .three otc|ock-on-;T.hurs^ay;ratterftp.on,,a,' dreadful storm of thunder and lightning came on, accompanied with a very heavy rain,.which continued about half an hour, with intermission. A ball oi fire entered the lower door of the-cotton factory at Halton, near this town, and forced its way up- wards, through, the. floors and roof, burning and, wounding,several of the work people and. children in its progress, but we are happy to add, none of them dangerously. Use of Garlic against Moles.M.oles are such ene- mies to the smell of garlic, that in order to get rid of these.troublesome guests, it is sumcient to in- troduce a few heads of garlic into their subterra- neous walks.

That,. in pursuance of the instructions wbitli they re1 ceived, proceeded to examine' the Act of the 31st ot the King, and to take, from the best information they could obtain, a comparative view of the price of labour, and 01 the unayoiftable cxpences incident to the farmer in the year 1791, and to the farluer,at this present time y as the best criterion by which they aught judge of what ought to be the price of the differeiit species of grain, so as to d.reasonable pjotit as a ay induce him to pursue-that line of husbandry winch will tne most contribute to bit; production of such an ample suppiy of the different kinds of corn and grain as may be sulh- cient for the consumption of the kmgdom. The certamty of this supply cannot be obtained without a considerable surplus, in plentiful years, above the demand of the home market; if therefore becomes nec.essary> d:at tiie, should have a ready sale for that surplus by exportation, and bounty if requisite, as may remove aii appreheiisioii of his not being auie to obtain, from n ghft of the commo- dity at,the,home market, such a price ior that surplus- ?., will afford him an equitable profit oil his labour and .a-, dustry, and "capital employed ni its production. It appears, then to your Committee, that the only mode by which ai. ample and plentiful iuppiy can justly be expected, Is to secure a certain aiid unifo'rm fair arid reasonable price to the farmer. It appears to your Committee, ttiat the Act, passed in 1791, giving a power to. the King 1tl Council, witcn -Parjia- ment is not sitting, of prohibiting the exportation of corn, if the average pnee thereof, taken from the return of the whole kingdom, is higher ttittil the price at or above which foreign corn, of the same sort, is allowed to be im- portedattheiow duties"; an j to permitf generally, foi three month's certain, the importation ol" such sort orl the lowest diities"then payable, ought: never to-be exercised but on a. strong and incouvrovcftible necessity as it may. it, tise-d upon light and, msuiScient. ground,, operate as. a great discouragement-19 the growth. aiid production of corn in this kingdom, by,rendering Hie. matket uncertain, by Making the export trade liable to be stopped, and by ena- bling a. general import of foreign com to be poured. into the kingdom, for the teriiu ol throe months, at so small a variation, and advance of price.-iu .the home market. as may, perhaps, be expressly oucasumcd, by particular Com- binations, for the very purj)o»e of producing that effect.: •'• "Your Coiuinittee are cautious ol recommending, a re- peal of that part of the Act, iest A necessity for the exercise of that power might possioly anse, thinking it better, under such circumstances, that it should, be exercised according to law, than in opposition to it. But, hi lull conlidence, that when due encouragement is given to the agriculture, of the couijtry, and the ciovui and wa'-to hinds brought into cul- .-tivatifMf, that the prod.uct of the growth of corn in Great Britain will jiltortl. sucli regul.n ai.d,ample supply for the consumption of aie kmg<loni, as to admit- the repeal of that power, given to his Majesty's Pi ivy Council, without the danger ot any detriment arismg thçreÚouHo the pubiic, "It further appeals to ysufCommtttee, that the tables, in the said Act'of the 31st of the King, for regulating the prices at which the. ports fur exportation are to- be open j with'or without bounty, and at the importation of fo- reign corn is to-be aduutied, on tne low duties generally, ic ..Y --i' -qu" ng N,cry I., a is alveraiion stems to be demanded, by the advance m the price ot labour, and all uthn expuices to which the farmer -is now subject, bej ond wh .t he was liable to at the time when thost, regulations were established, Our-Committee theretore recouiiucnd the tables here- tmfp annexed -to be adopted, instead of tho«e in the Act of the 3Isf of the King, as more luted to the •eircumstances of I 1 he present times. | "it appears further fq your Committee that the; aggregate. average prices of-the tweive marit me distnci;ss'is; th £ pro- perniie by which th# tables,for re„ ih$,export and .r import of com, to and from this kingdom, ousbt to be so- verricd.
