.a WEMH INDIANS. OHSER"-ATYO;1S OH :'rh. TOTJLM[:S Accon.:y of the sup- posed Welsh Indian's in North America. By the Editor of the Philadklpd la M i:dic,h, and Piivsical Journal,—See Cambrian, May 4, 1305. The story of a Welsh colonisation of America has ex- cited much curiosity both in Europe and the United States: by many it is believed, while by others it is thought un- worthy of any attention. By reason of the present rapid progress of settlement in America, the time cannot be re- mote whert the truth or falsity of this story will be com- x pletely established. fit the mean while I do not hesiiate to conjecture, that no traces of the descendants of the Welsh Prince will ever be discovered in the Western parts of ISorth America.. It may not be impropertQ notice the tale upon which so many persons, in Europe at least, rest their hofies of proving, in the most satisfactory manner, that the Welsh have to the David Poweli a Welsh historian, inform* us, that on the decease of O wen Guycteth, king /)t' North Wales, a dispute arose a wrong- his sans concerning the accession to the Clown; and that Madoc or Madog, one of the sons, weary of this contention, betook himself to sea, in quest of a more quiet settlement. We are informed, that f( he steered due west, leaving Ire/and to (he north, and arrived in an unknown country, which appeared to him so desirable, that he returned to Wales, and carried hither several of his adherents and companions. After this neither Madog nor his companions were ever heard of more. The voyage of Madog is said to have been per- formed abcut the year 1170." I have not seen Powel's work, but I learn that this his- torino., who hved in the tcign of Queen Elizabeth, and consequently at a great distance of tima frotu the event which he records, adduces uo better in support of the voyage than a quotation from a poet, which proves uo more than that he (Madog) had distinguished inmselt by sea and iaiid."f Some few Welsh words, such as gwrande, to hearkeu or listen, ixc. are very feebly or unfortunately adduced by Powel as circumstances favour- able to the truth of the Welsh emigration. Wbè-u we- consider, that the Welsh were never a naval people 5 that die age in. which Madog lived was peculiarly ignorant ia navigation that tbe coni|.us2 was tli«n un- iaovn the story of thevovage of the Welsh prince must T tltii^L' be considered as extremely improbable. I am of opinion, with Mr. Pennant, that the most which they could have attempted taust have been a mere coasting- voyage." But it maj be said, we must appeal to facts; and that, iftdepf ndentiy-of the verses of the Welsh poet, and the arguments of the Welsh htstonatt, it seerns highly probable that a colony of white people, who speak the Welsh lan- guage, does act«a!ly exist ia the western parts of North America, I camwt, r must confess, adopt this opinion. I readily allow, that the relations published by Mr. Toulmin and U>any other persons both in Europe and in America are extremely curious; but these relations are very inconsis- tent; with one another, particularly in what relates to the actual state of improvement of the supposed Welshmen. Dr same we are told they are very far advanced in im- provement; by others, that their improvement is not at all greater than that of the Red-mon, or Indians of America. At one'time they-are said to be in possession of manu- scripts (and even printed book's); at another time nothing oi this kind is found among them.—It must be confessed, the.: Maurice Griffith's relation isr in several respects, more plausible that of any preceding traveller; but it if not uniacumbered with inconsistencies, which I do not deero it necessary to notice in this place. His assertion, that the white melt of the Missouri speak pure Welsh," e.et: though this assertion be qualified by the observation ] rhitt they occasionally make- use of a few words with which he was not acquainted," is to me olle of the most improbable things that have ever been related of these people.—-His silence about their religion is altogether in- excii-iabie. Oue would suppose that a person of Griffith's inquisitive turtt of ntutd would hardly have omitted" to make some inquiries respecting the religious institutions of a pe'opie whom he considered as his. countrymen. If these people be the descendants of Madog, some traces of the Christian religion-may be expected to be discerned among them; fur I tititik It requires many centuries to entirely j efface from the mftnovy of a people all vestiges of their religion, especially friJ!!J a people so tenacious of their language, aad so, little disposed to intermix: with their neighhoars, as the Welsh Indians are represented to be. But Griffith's relation is, I think, worthy of some atten- tion. I even think it not altogether improbable that future researches will establish the fact, that there does exist in the, wes'e.-i. parts of North America, a race or nation of whose complexion is much fairer than that of the surround- i¡¡; •r-ics of Ltdi.inSt <i_ud who speak a. language abounding iL Welsh wr Cehie words. But the cmptefe establishment or tiies*. two- poiote would, not prove the establishment of the trtttV of the' assertion,, that Prince Madog hadevermade a v<*yaets:to• America,-or that a colouy of Celts had at any- pi'riod prior t» «- diseoaery of America by Columbus, passed litc« this hemisphere from Britain. It way be thought by the statement published by Dr. Yv iiS/sn5 and some other writers on the subject, that the be- lief of the existence of a. race ofWelsli Indians in America is generally admitted by the Welsh Indiana and others. But this is far from being the case. The late Mr. M'Gilli- vray, a. mitti of uo inconsiderable powers of mind, and whose cariosity was by no means to his own rela- tives, the Mtiscohge, or Creek Indians iuiortned me, in the yes.r 1790, that he knew nothing of the existence of any white people in the tract ot country beyond the Mississippi. The following is all extract of a letter (dated Downing, JtHie 14, 17915) from my learned and excellent friend, the late Mr. Thomas Pennant, Of Wales. Dr. Robertson. t Pennant's Arctic Zoology, Introduction, p. cclxiu. &c. it .1-- .1 My cotiptry eii are wild among the Padoucas, or Welsh" Indians, descendants of Madog, now seated about the upper parts of the Missouri. I am rather iu disgrace, not having the wannest hopes of their discovery. Pray what is your opinion, and that ol your philosophers?" III answer to the above I wrote a letter, of which the fol- lowing is a part Thave heard a great deal about the Welsh Indians. I very early imbibed your opinion as published m your Arctic Zoology,* and mentioned you on the subject in a little w'orkt which I published in.England at the age of I do not know whether you have seen that work.—I do not mean to hint that it is worthy of your at- tention. I certainly think there is some foundation for the J story but I have no doubt but the whose affair will turn out very different from a discovery of Madog's descen- dants iu America. I have said that I think there is some ground for the story. I shall explain myself. You know that many of the "first visitors of the new world, were struck with the re- semblance which subsists between some of the AlDericall na- tions and the Jews. Some Hebrew words were found in this continent, as they have been every where eke. The Americans were now said to be the descendants ol the Jews and Adair laboured very hard to prove the matter in a pon- derous quarto, which few people read, because it is big with system and extravagance, though indeed it contains some curious and accurate matter. Iu like manner, ill the lan- guages of some of the American tribes there are found some words which are a good deal analogous to words in the languages of the ancient Cells. Wafer, who was a very respectable observer, if we consider his occupation in life, mentions the coincidence he found between the language of the Indians of Darien, and that of the Highland Scots and I could produce instances of their coincidence. Some Greek words are also found iu certain of the American lan- guages. I would uot strain a point so much as sOllie wri- ters bave, who mention the coincidence which subsists he- tween the Greek Tne<ili aud the Mexican Teotl.-The word i* atom mack, which is the natac of one of our great rivers, is a good deal like the Greek Potniim.t These words (per- haps they are accidental reseiubiaticcs) have given rise to Z:> some of the numerous theories which we have had concern- ing -the peopling of this great continent and I doubt not but some or person who understood the Welsh language, finding Celtic words (a language spoken by the Welsh) among (he Amerieatis, in the fullness of his zeal, would bring his countrymen among the Padoucas, Apa- ches, &c. Such, I believe, has been the origin of this wonderful story. I presume, that, were an ignorant Highlander to vi- sit the Darien Indians, or some other American tribes, lie would fancy himself among his countrymen, whom paint- iug, exposure to the sun, etc. he might suppose had exalted, or degraded to their present tinge. I lately conversed with an old Highlander, who said, that the Indians speak the Highland language. Some Highland words were mention- ed by him; one word I recollect, the word teine, which in the Highland language, he said, signi- fies fire; now our Delaware ludiauscali life terciday; The resemblance in sound is certainly not small. The Celts have undoubtedly been very widely spread over the globe I believe they existed in this country, and that their de- sceiulants are some of the present tribes. § That Celtic word s should he found among the Americans, when Celtic words are to be found almost every where else, is not I think to be wondered at."

MALTA. The public have never been informed of a project of Bouapnrte to seize Malta by surprise, the instant our forces ShoflIrl have evacuated the island, and delivered it up to the 3000 Neapolitans that were sellt to occupy the fortifica- tiolls provisionally. The first news received at Malta of preliminaries of peace having been signed, was brought by a cartel from Mar- seilles, which was dispatched in haste with part of a cargo of wine, oil, sweet-meats, and a variety of other French merchandize. On the vessel's arrival she was put under quarantine, be- cause at Marseilles vessels from Malta had been made sub- ject to quarantine, and because there were on board this vessel several Maltese, who were considered by their coun- I trymen as traitors, and had chosen to go to France with the garrison when it surrendered to the English and Maltese. It was necessary to devise means, of securing these passen- gers from the fury of the people, who.threatened to destroy them. The Captain (131acus) was informed by the Captain of the port, that all letters must be delivered to him, to be fumigated and examined, and that even when the days of quarantine were expired ailietters IUlIst be delivered to the post-office. In the evening, when the letters were to be given to the Captain of the port, this officer came alongside to receive them; while he was thusoccupied, a number of other letters were thrown out of the cabin window to be sunken, but the Captain of the Port had placed, unobserv- ed, close under the stern, a very small canoe, which catched them up. These letters being opened (several persons be- ing accidentally present) and dried by the fire, on the blank part of the letter addressed to Baili Belmont, there appeared, by the effect of the heat, another epistle that hacl been written with Jenaon-juicc. It was from a Secretary ofBonaparte, well known at Malta. The letter informed him, that the blow to be struck would be like lightning that all would be done before the heavy beast would awake. What the great man had once resolved upon, must be done; he never changed his de- termination, he was inflexible. There were some preju- dices .to be combated, but there was sufficient to convince the most obstinate, and to deter others. The Maltese would not have to compjain for instead of their barren rock they, would receive fertile plains. The orange trees and cotton plants being roofed out, and the whole island sown with corn, there would be food for the inhabitants and for the garrison, which thus, could not, a second time, be starred by a blockade. Twenty thousand French families, transported to Malta, would thus' furuish cultiwters and I defenders. The English were dps grosses betes; the Russians des jiti-bes, et ties traitrcs, but they would be duped as well as the others. The original ofdbisjetter was sent by Mr. Cameron, his Majesty's Civil Commissioner, at Malta, to Lord Ilobart, and is now in the office of the colonial department. It was shown to several persons at Malta, and to many of the principal people oi the island before it was sent. Baili Belmont, a Frenchman, was suffered to remain at Malta, when the French, garrison was sent to France, (in I account of his age, .au(|.apparentrespectability..It was af- terwards, however, known, that he had taken a very active part in the intarnous intrigue which had betrayed the island to Bonaparte. Some time after this letter was intercepted, Trio notice having been taken of it to the Baili, some chests for him ar- j rived from I'aiermo, and as Malta had been made a free port, merchandize, ia not opened at the custom-house ;,but in passing through it one;of the chests was thrown down, and the noise ot it seemed to the Customer to be like that ot muskets. It was opened, and about 501 muskets were louud 111 all the chests. Intercepted letters to the Baili af- terwards showed that more were to be sent if these arrived sale. They came from a Knight at Palermo, aud the Baili said they were for sale, to the people of the coast of Barba- ry; which was impossible, for all the Knights took air oath uot to furnish them with arms.

NOTE OF PRINCE DOLGORUCIvL A Note has been circulated on the Continent, the object of which is to refute the misrepresentations oftbe French, relative to the mission of Prince Dolgorucki, to Bonaparte, previous to the battle of Austerlitz, and which are sanc- tioned by the remarks in the 30th bulletin. There is no doubt that it is the explanation of the Prince himself.—It statts, that the Russian officer who was sent to Bonaparte, at his request, after the refusal of the Emperor of Russia to have an interview with him, upon his arrival at the ad- vanced posts of the French army, did not wait long before he saw Bonaparte approach, guarded by two squadrons. He approached the Russian officer with gryat politeness, and conversed with him for some time, as they walked oil the road, about uninteresting subjects; then making a sudden stop, he said, Well, then, are wè to fight much longer."—Upon receiving for answer, that it was impos- sible to decide that point, he asked, What do they want of me ? Why does the Emperor of Russia make war upon me? What does lie require of me?"—Upon which a poli- tical discussion arose, which was often abruptly broken in upon hy Bonaparte, who talked of his projects of invasion, and could not bear to listen to the observations of the Officer, who endeavoured to shew that the Emperor Alex- ander had no object but the independence and happiness of his allies. The conversation lasted more than an hour, and at last, convinced by the talk of the Russian officer, that it was impossible to prevail upovi the Emperor Alex- ander to betray his allies, and to take possession of their States, Bonaparte put an end to the discourse, by abruptly declaring, Well then, we shall fight," to which the Rus- sian officer made no answer, but returned. The Note then contains the following remarks on the late actions :—" All that has been said respecting the battle of Wischau, is just as false as what has been reported of the actions of Lambach, Amstetten, and more particularly of Krems, in every one of which the Russians had the advan- tage. In the last they almost destroyed the division of I General Mortier. One general, 65 officers, and 500 sol- diers taken prisoners, five stand of colours, and eight pieces of cannon, were the trophies taken from the French. At the affair of Hollebrunn, the rear guard only of the Russians, consisting of five thousand men, was attacked and notwithstanding the French army, to the amount of 40,000 men, headed by Bonaparte, had on all sides sur- rounded aud attacked the Russians, and occupied the vil- lage of Salzeldorrlj through which they were obliged to retreat; the Russians, notwithstanding, preferring death with arms in their hands to being taken prisoners, forced their way through the enemy, took several prisoners, and one stand of colours, without losing any of their own, and effected a junction with their own army, with no greater loss than that of the French, notwithstanding the superio- rity of the latter.—At the battle of Wischau (or Austerlitz), ill which the Emperor Alexander was engaged, exposing himself in every place where the danger was most immi- nent, the Pkussiau advanced guard, which alone was en- gaged, obtained considerable advantages, the loss of the French in prisoners only being 24 officers, and more than 500 men.—As to the drowned persons, whose cries ryere heard from the bottom of the lakes, the tale is too ridicu- lous to render its refutation necessary all that it is deemed incumbent to afiitn is, that not a single being had an op- portunity of drowning himself at the battle of Austerlitz, let him have beeu ever so well inclined so to do."

Lord Hardwicke is elected High Steward of Cambridge in the room of the late Right Hon. W. Pitt. At the close ufthe poll for the University of Cambridge, on Friday, the numbers were as follow :—-Lord Henry Pet- ty 331 Lord,Althorpe 144; Lord Palnierslon 142 when Lord Henry Petty was declared duly elected. The day has not yet been fixed for Mr. Pitt's funeral. The coffin is covered with black velvet, the corner mould- ings, and other ornaments, are so highly plated as to look exactly like silver and the inscription is as follows « The Right Hon. WM". PITT, only brother of the Earl of Chatham, One of his Majesty's Most Hon. Privy Council, First Lord of the Treasury, and Chancellor of the Exchequer, A Commissioner of the Affairs of India, Constable of Dover Castle, Warden, Keeper, and Admiral of the Cinque Ports, Master of the Trinity Hotlse, and High Steward of the University of Cambridge, F. R. S. and M, A. Died 23d of January, 1806, Aged 46 years. At a court of common council of the city of London, on Thursday, a resolution passed for the erection of a mo- nument to the memory of Mr. Pitt, with a suitable inscrip- tion, in Guildhall. When the news of our victory by Sir R. Abercromby, in Egypt, arrived, Mr. Pitt was out of office. A gentleman, in one of the public offices, was directed to wait on Air. Pitt, with General (now Lord) Hutchinson's letter he found him in a two pair of stairs small bed-robm, in a short flannel dressing gown, with a little tin shaving pot on the fire. Mr. Pitt apologised with iouch goodTiumour for the manner of receiving this gentleman. He then read his let- ter, burst into tears, and thanked God for his protection of our country. Friday a grand boxing match took place between Dutch Sam and Tom Belcher, near Virginia Water, at a place called Sendou Heath, 28 miles from Condon. The seconds for Sam were Mendoza and Blake for Belcher, Gulley and Weale. At starting bets were level. This battle was as well contested as any that has been lately fought. It consisted of nearly fifty rounds, and lasted apwards of an hour. It terminated in favour of Dutch Sam. As a vessel wits unloading her cargo Qf woo). in the river at Wakefield, a dog was found at the bottom between two packs. The ship had taken in her loading eighteen days before, at Lincoln, where the alllmal was first missed; he njust, therefore, have been without food during the whole of that time. When first discovered, he could scarcely stand but by attention and proper nourishment, he bus nearly re- covered. On the 4th instant an inquest was held on the body of Ensign G. Adner, of the 66th regiment of foot, at New- port, Isle of Wight. It appeared that the deceased had I? undertaken to drink a quart of mm, in consequence of bets being made by other oificers, which he nearly accomplish- ed, and immediately retired to bed, where the next mor- iling he was found a corpse t Verdict-Died by excessive drinking. On Sunday night the cooper of the Royal Sovereign hung himself, and afterwards cut his throat in a most shock ing manner, at a house in North-corner-street, Plymouth, lie had fourteen days' liberty, which expired the next moju- ing. During that time he wore the appearance of a melan- choly man, aid had been often heard to say, that his mess- mates had all been drafted on board different ships, and that he would sooner die than go on board the Salvador re- ceiving ship, where he was ordered. An inquest was held on the body, and after several witnesses had been examined, the Jury brought in a verdict of—Luiuicy. COPPER ORES Sold at Truro, ott Thursday the 6th inst. Mines. Tons.
