TUJE • SWANSFvA, 1'KiBAt, JDecetnb«r f.. Arrived hvre, Lady Elizabeth and Mr. Kavenagh, Cap. lain Meynell, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Nanney.Mr. and Mrs. ivI'Kenna, Mr. Plane, Mrs. Shafto, Mr, Coupland, Mr. Gillham, &c. Sunday last.Colonel Sladden inspected Major Lockwoud's corps of Forest volunteers; on Mon- day, the Prince of Wales's Fusilecrs, commanded by "Major Vaughan; and the Swansea. cavalry, cuni- by Hughes; on Tuesday, lour companies of the Western Glamorgan regiment, coinnianded by Colonel Llewelyn on Wednesday, three other companies of the latter, at Neath j and yestferday thcrcmainiüg three companies, at Ewell- ny. We have much satisfaction in stating, that not the smallest relaxation either in discipline or zeal was manifested, and the Colonel expressed his wariii approbation of the whole. We last week detailed the particulars of the pre- sentation of a. pair of colours, by Sir lien. Prothero, to the fourth (or Deri lis) battalidii of Carmarthen- shire volrjiteers^ commanded by Col. Williams; and we have now the pleasure of giving the sub- stance of Sir Henry's elegant and animated address on the occasion., with the Cplone'ls reply: Be pleased, Sir, to accept these Colours. I present them to you with pride, in the fnit assurance that should tiiCy ever be unfurled in the face of an enemy, they will be de- tended wtth valour, and preserved with glory. This, Sir; is a siglit that should animate every British feeling. Whilst the armies of our enemy are enlarged by bands of murmur- ing conscripts, torn Irom the plough, and goaded to the desperate enterprise—-these pat riot ranks require the aid ol no requisition—they are raised by honour—they are paid by glory. My oountrvmen, you are Britons—triumph in tl^e name-—-and thank heaven lor the blessings you enjoy. Expect not tiiat.these colours will be farmed by the crim- son vving of conqncht your sword is not drawn in fhe ser- vjee ot wanton ambition; but in defence of the; land of your I defence of every blessing that is dear to man. Look to the peaceful dwellings which you inhabit— listen to the voice of tove—listen to the cry oi helpless in- nodence—look to your fair countrywomen that now sur- round .you. Yet,my fair country women-, fear not: your bro- thei>, liusbandi, lovers, and adnilreis all, we fight lor you— we will stand or talJ by vou—tear not the iuvader-never shall the rose-bud of 1 iti«.h bcnity be plucked bv his un- hallowed hiuid As soldiers, we love and honour the sex and we swear hy the b e-» 11 ns \c iecei\e from you, that our latest breath shall be diawu in your defence—that we will for you c'tner purchase cither Victory or Death! My brave men, t amthc organ oi your sentiments-never, never can .you see yoiir wive and children the objects of cruelty and lust ydwrprop vity carried away.! yourhouses and your cottages in flames your fruitful and lmppy coun- try laid waste by thede.stroyer! All, 110! yet tliiuk'uot the colours of tbis frightful picture too strongly drawn: He "comes, no less to rob the peasant ot his humble fare, than to plunder the' palaces of the great—no less to tear away the hard-earned comforts of the poor, than to destroy the iuxh- ries of the rich. Are you not sensible of this? Behold those nations that arc now victims of his power—see them writhing under their fetters—hear them -groaning..raider-the yoke of their merciless oppressors. Andshalt we become the slaves •—shall we wear the chains of this scourge of humanity—of this bloody eorsicanr God forbid! No, my friends, let desperation urge his course hither—let him land on thesc shores, which already bear witness to the triumph of your arms, and to the defeat of an invading foe—but let him know, that true to themselves,tlteii? country, and their K ing, he may rather shake in his little-arms the iiiighty mountains that surround us, than appal the hearts of Welshmen by his threats, or subjugate their country by his power. To which the Colonel with grea.t animation re- plied, This mark, Sir Henry, of your?polite attention and hb<- rality; will, I am confident, be long remembered by us and w8 will overbear in mind, when these cotours are dis- played in the, face of a foe, tilesaered trust reposed in u: for their prOte'ction.. Should oiti v,uniting.e-neui} I n0 t Ins throats into execulion of invaduig our country, t i< i We-flatter ourseives, we shall net disgrace the name of Anc-ieiit Britons-; but keep uu»;:liied these -pledg •. of our honour, by braving every danger in nipportot an » c II n Monarch, an adijiirabic CvUi»iuuuuM» and our owu Howes. Theti delivering the colours to- the Ensigns he added, Gentlemen, I have the honour to deliver these to your charge. They are to be defended with our lives, and God grant that the Dei'I.* colours may be always *eeu at the time'of ou'r coiiutrs dtjii^er in the post of honour. The Monmouth volunteers, commanded by Col. Molyneux, Were ispf u j last 'weekby Brigadier- General Sii' Geoij' h jK_bton, who declared him- I self much pleasseu with che appearauca ofthecorps,- and expressed-his astonishment at the high snte of discipline which it had attained, considering the very short time it'had been embodied. He then proceeded to inspect the waggons, 21 of which were brought upon the ground, completely'fitted up, each waggon carrying 15 men armed and accou- tred. The General and his Aid-du-Camp after- wards dined with the officers at the Kind's Head, where an elegant entertainment was provided, and the evening was spent in the most convivial man- ner. • '{,'h'e Llandilo troop of Monmputhshire cavalry, lcommauùedby Gapt. Lewis, which had been Oil permanent duty at Monmouth for fourteen days, returned to their respective homes on Monday. Their conduct, whilst oil was truly soldier- like, and worthy of men assembled for such a pat- riotic purpose. The Cleveland tender, Lieu t. Parker, sailed from hence this morning with new-raised men for his Majesty's fleet. We are happy to find the utmost vigilance pre- vailing in all our sea-pbrts to prevent the most se- rious of all evils, the putrid fever* from getting a footing amongst 115.- Ve.ssels arriving trom parts with this direful calamity, are forced to per- form the most rigorous quarantine, which on no account is dispensed with. It is to-be hoped this salutary measure wsH be persevered in, as notwith- standing the favourable circumstances of the pre- sent season, we are not free from dfinger; the most: intelligent of the faculty having affirmed, that the seeds of the disorder will sometimes lie dormant for many months, and again come forth with the return of mild weather. The great extent of our sea-coast also renders us peculiarly liable to the importation of the disorder; hence every precau- tion should, and no doubt will be adopted, to, guard against it.—The following queries may not be irreiavent at a time when we are threatened with this alarming scourge: 1st. Whether large fires, equi-distant, would not attract and absorb the putrid exhalation from the afflicted and by raritying the atmosphere, cause a supply of fresh air, which by diluting the conta- gious "air would render it inert ? 2d. Whether smoke lrom tobacco, tar, &c. intro- duced every two or three hours into the apart- ments of the afflicted, and then suffered to escape, would not mix with, dilute, and by its ascending power, convey away much of the dft'ending mat- ter?

Ireland—Saturday morning last the 15th, 19th, and rdgin>ents -embarked at 'Monkstown; for foreign service: howeve.r., infonried, that they will not sail with the present convoy. In the afternoon of the stttne day, the 89th, under the com- mand of Lord Blaney, marched, iyto this city.— Cork Evening Post. The Cork Mercantile Chronicle of Wednesday the agth ult. contaiiis the following observations on the present state of Ireland: Our provincial intelligence is of the tuost satisfactory kind, and fully confirmatory of the state of the public dis- position, winch it has bexmour duty, and our liappiuess to' announce from flihe to time, /rom every, purt of the na- tion, accctsiblc to our inquiries, industry* twnquillity, and )- ity, tiii(i obedience tt* aretftfc cimrnttcrint«5t> of the people, the most generally u.mrted. Vor ovir parts, we attribute to that very local tranquillity, all the good associated with it, m the accounts of our numerous and extensive corres- pondence. The cessation ol puny rage aud fanaticism, and the suspension of leuds and animosities, seem to have brought peace home to eveiy man's threshold; and the -smcere enjoyment of this tiaaqiiillitvv has set the bad pas- sions atrest, and di^posed^ iu«n to quiet avocations, and to tho-t- idiioceut mdulgeniies> for whijrh"the warni sensibility 9 01' :;n l soft affection,of the Insh people so peculiarly, adapt o'n, them. Whey evtiy Uuii was taught to, hate his neighbours 1 with unrelenting acriino»\, ,ind to look upon the enemy of hiscouutrywith comparatively a mild resentment to what he was to entertain against t«e enemy of his prejudices, it « is 11 lit! to expect moral practices from such doctrines —or temperate and social manners from, such vexatious ha- bits. Such a state of discord repelled improvement, aud proscribed morals; it gave. 110 relish for the enjoyment of iiumble life and from disgust and habitual despair, the ad- vocates for internal commotion may have selected willing partisans. In the cessation of those, flagrant abominations vie perceive the natural character ef the country beeinnino to recover itself, and every day to unfold some iiew 'and en- gaging featute. We perceive labour and industry begin- ning to look somewhat chearful—the love of iniprovement to diffuse itself, and in the train of this domestic peace we perceive those moral felicities to foi low, which can give con- tentincnt to poverty, and dispense happiness among a peo- pie. What the strong hand of punishment had unsuecess- fully endeavoured to coerce, a short season otdiristian practice has effected; and that tranquillity which for. a long time the Jaw endeavoured to force by main strength, was soon completed by the gentle but.more powcifui policv. of forbearance, moderation, and mildness. The universal tendency towards unanimity among the Irish people is, every day productive of some good. It is adding to our confidence, because it is p|achig us in .a state..of security. above the assailment of auy toe—for there is not a man in this nation who is not convinced in his mind, that if the peo- p!e of this country act with unanimity, the power of France conid not make any serious impression upon it. It is bringing even- ignorance itself to look upon the country with regard, and to reverence its laws; and it is in the stcd- fast encouragemeut ot tins tortunate disposition, that the body of the people will escutually mature into that loyally, in which good prejudices-and wise pv-inpiples are, so- well, compounded, dial treason wilt have in vain to seek for as- soenues, or foreign tyranny it* assistants. Our reliance on the accuracy of the above flatter- ing representation would be much stronger, did not. the following atrocities excite our suspicion that the picture is too highly coloured: Wataford, week a dreadful murder was committed in the county of Waterford, on a farm lying be- tween Dungarvan and Youghal. Agang of ruffians felo- niously broke into the dwelling house of a poor man, one Dayiei Ahefn, aild cruelly murdered hiiii and his son; they also threatened the rest of the family with the same fste, if they did not within three days remove from the land.- Ahern's having lately taken the farm, is the supposed cause ofthisJiorfid transactipii.—Waterford Mirror."

"■■ j Thursday.last,- one of tbcnumerous tribes, associated fort the- purpose of circulating forged bank notes, appeared in thtscity, and contrived, diring that and the daYfoUowing, vvuu considtn able dexterity to pass several ten-ponadanc .hve-snmiea forgeries, purporting to be of the hank ofLigh- teui and L-o. Notwithstanding the me'frtorious exertions of- h jazistiat s"in.different parts of the country, -but-espe- cially in Dublin, the number of-forgeries-in circulation, *uiu of the bunds engaged in fabricating and dispersing li 111, tar tt eeds. any former example.- xiie evil,.indeed,- f ii n 10 such a magnitude as I ,<'K J calf for the must vignunt eiforts, to. suppress a practice so inconsistent ith the jjftnciples of jusuct; mid the- sL)I, com- i.viwv,—uid. | The antient Romans were zealous in addressing Fortune in the first month of the New Year, think- ing, perhaps, if they could then gain her smiles, that the Goddess would prove propitious to thein through the whole of it. We know not whether this consideration induced the Contractors for the ensuing Lottery to fix its commencement in Janu- ary; but this we know, that they have presented the Public with a Scheme so luxuriantly rich in Ca- pital Prizes as promises to captivate, and that very speedily, the attention of-the whole kingdom. We wish to caution the public against a. set of villains who are very actively employed in passing counterfeit seven shilling pieces through the coun- try. The base pieces are easily distinguished. rhey are a little larger than the good ones, the im- pression not so full, particularly on the head side, are much paler in colour, feel light, ring badly, ap- pear new, and are dated 1803. A melancholy circumstance occurred at the flan- fa nel manufactory at Hayyin Breconshire, on Satur- day se'nnight: a boy about 14 years of age, em- ployed there, wassuddenly caught by the strap of the engine-wheel, and so-dreadfully mangled as to occasion his death almost immediately. Lriday evening, as a'boy about twelve years of age, apprentice to Mr. Herbert, shoe-maker, of Leominster, Herefordshire, was washing a large c ..1 n mastiff in the river Lugg, in the Fields, near that town, the bank where he stood being under- mined by the current, suddenly gave way, and theyr both sunk together in a very deep and rapid part of the stream; the boy very fortunately had firm hold of the collar, and-the dog being a power- ful animal, at length succeeded in gaining the shore upon a gravel bank about twenty yards be- low the place where they fell in; the boy, being nearly exhausted, remained some time on the bank before lie was able to move, the dog stand- ing by him; but as soon-as he was so far recover- ed as to get up and wai!the poor animal express- ed his joy by jumping round him and caressing him. What is very remarkable, Eind shews the wonderful interposition of Providence, the doe had once a narrow escape from drowning by his collar getting fast in a stub as he was swimming, after which time the collar was always taken oft before the dog was suffered to go in the water, ex- cept in this last instance, when it was very provi- dentially the means of saving the boy's life. Last week, a turnip was pulled from a piece of land in the parish of Mansel Gamage, Hereford- shire, belonging to J. G. Cotterell, Esq. of Gar- nons, which measured forty-one inches and a quarter by thirty-nine and a quarter, and weighed, without the top, upwards of twenty-seven pouYids. It is preserved at Garnons as a curious speciuien to what a state of perfection this valuable root may be brought by judicious management. Swansea coal now sells in Waterford at 4s. 4d.- per barrel. ■ ■. At GIOcester fair, on Wednesday, there was a considerable shew of cattle; and primebeasis sold at good prices, but those of the lean kind experi- enced a dull sale, even at a reduced rate.—There were lew good horses. Sheep were more plentiful, and the prices reasonable, yet few were sold. Fat p .§ pigs ayeraged about 10s. per score. Al ou tnouth faif-was more numerously supplied with cattle than has been known for many years; but the buyers were few, and numbers were driven away unsold, although they have fallen so consi- derably in price during the last fairs. Cheese brought from 51s. to 55s. but some prime dairies sold for 63s. per cwt. The hops brought to market sold brisk, at an advance of 10s. per cwt. since last Hereford fair.
