PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE. LLANTARNAM ABBEY, NEAR NEWPORT, MONMOUTH- SHIRE.-It was rumoured abroad that R. J. Blewitt, Esq., would come into this neighbourhood to occupy the venerable mansion of his forefathers, on the 12th instant. All persons who knew the gentleman were on tip-toe to ascertain the fixed time and day some said he would arrive by packet others, equally confident, reported that Gloucester and Chepstow was the route. The packet arrived, but not Mr. Blewitt. His friends immediately set out on the Chepstow road, and soon met a carriage and four, but as carriages and four are so common at this extra-important crisis, his friends were left in doubt, and would not decide without an imper- tinent peep. In Newport there was a muster of all the gen- tlemen and respectable inhabitants of the place, who escorted him to Llantarnam Abbey, with a cavalcade that reached two-deep half a mile. He was met at the parish boundary by, we may venture to say, nearly the whole popu- lation of the parish this was arranged by Mr. R.E. Rees, in a manner that did him much credit, for in less than a minute the four horses were removed, and twenty of the bold peasantry of his neighbourhood drew him to his mansion, preceded by flags with mottos, and a splendid band of musicians, who played some of the most appropriate airs, among which was "Home, sweet home," "Come let us all be gay," "'Twas merry in the hall," &c. &c. When the worthy host alighted, he addressed (perhaps the greatest assembly that ever met on the lawn of Llantarnam Abbey on such an occasion), in a neat and very suitable speech. I. He said that he was come to live among them, for one and only one purpose, and that was of forming a sort of con- sanguinity between landlord and tenant; he was determined to live and let live. Whatever disunion had existed in his neighbourhood, he hoped would be forgotten; for now that he was come to spend his days among them, he had made up his mind to spend those days happy, and this should not apply to himself only, but to all around him. He kindly thanked them for the handsome manner in which they had thought proper to compliment him, hoping that he should deserve as much. He then expressed a figurative wish that his hall was as large as his heart, and solicited as many to come in as the house would hold: he had plenty of old English fare, and those who would partake of it were heartily welcome. About 200 sat down to an excellent cold collation, with good cwrw da. The toasts were as follows:—"The King"-Band, "The King, God bless him." Our worthy host"—Band, "Home, sweet home." Miss Blewitt"- Band, "Here's a health to all good lasses." "Sir Charles Morgan, and the Agricultural Interests of the County"— Band, "Rule Britannia;"—together with a variety of other toasts and sentiments, which for want of room we cannot enumerate. The gentlemen from Newport left early, as nearly all were engaged in the grand national struggle, where it was necessary for every man to be at his post. The tenantry being numerous, with just a drappie in their ee," kept it up till a late hour. MILFORD AUXILIARY NAVAL AND MILITARY BIBLE SOCIETY.—The friends of this institution were greatly gratified on Tuesday the 4th inst., by the attendance at the Sixth Anniversary of the Society, held at the Nelson Hotel, in that town. Capt. Chappell, R.N., the newly-elected President, occupied the Chair. The report was of a very interesting character, and eloquently detailed the past success, the present efficiency, and the prospective views of this increasingly important institution. The number of I Bibles and Testaments circulated among the objects of this society's operations during the last year, amounted to 316, being a considerable increase on the two preceding years. The total number of copies of the Scriptures sent out by this ) humble Auxiliary, during its unostentatious career, has ex- ceeded the most sanguine expectations of its warmest sup- porters, and now aggregates 2253. The meeting was inter- estingly and ably addressed in advocacy of the claims of this Officers, and othe i The collection was liberal. COMMITMENTS TO CARMARTHEN COUNTY GAOL.- Henry Symmon, by J. E.

The accounts received from Antwerp shew that the siege continues with unabated ardour, and that both the besieged and the besiegers are exerting themselves to the utmost to annoy and destroy one another—the keeping up a steady, constant, and destructive fire upon their as- sailants, and the latter replying to it bravely. Up- wards of 30,000 shots have been fired by the French since the opening of their batteries, of which 6000 were howitzers. Some of the bombs have fallen in the city, and done much mischief; but it appears that the Dutch General has clearly no intention of firing on the town. Indeed, it is affirmed that the King of Holland has sent positive orders to Chasse to spare Antwerp as much as possible. Chasse continues acting on the de- fensive; and receives the fire of his enemy with great Coolness. Strong reinforcements are preparing in dif- ferent points of France, in case the war should be pro- tracted, notwithstanding the pacific assurances of the Northern Powers. The news from Madrid is to the 6th inst. The Queen of Spain has issued a Manifesto, declaring her hostility to all innovations, religious or political, and a determi- nation to observe neutrality in the struggle now going on in Portugal. Don Miguel, therefore, has lost not only the countenance of the Spanish Government, but the pecuniary assistance profusely granted to him by tihe Calomarde Administration. The Queen was most indefatigable in her exertions for the liberal cause, as in case of the demise of Ferdinand, a desperate struggle will take place for the throne. Ferdinand was nearly restored to his usual health. The German papers contain accounts from Constan- tinople to the 10th ult., in which it is stated that the Grand Vizier had left that city on the 8th, to take the command of the Turkish army, which is said to consist of 60,000 men. The amount of the Egyptian army is stated at 45,000, and to be superior to the Turkish, both in discipline and in moral energy; but great reliance is placed on the military experience of the Grand Vizier. The plague is on the decline at Constantinople. The 'British Consul at Adrianople had, however, fallen a victim to it. By West India papers to the 8th ult. we learn that a serious misunderstanding has arisen between the Bri- tish West India Governors and the French authorities, upon the subject of the laws laid down by Lord Gode- rich respecting the reception of foreign slaves in British colonies. The Governor of Martinique, in a spirited letter to his Excellency Major-General Farquhar, the representative of our Sovereign in the unfortunate island of St. Lucia, states that 1,200 slaves have lately left that island and have been received at St. Lucia, and according to recent measures adopted by the Co- lonial Office, the planters of Martinique must sue in an English court for their restoration. Admiral Dupotet,! the French Governor, describes the act as one of spolia- tion upon French citizens not founded upon any law; and further, if the measure of refuge for the slave should be continued, he threatens reprisals. The accounts from the Leeward Islands announce that the beautiful town of Paramaribo, in Surinam, had been nearly destroyed by fire, fifty-eight houses having been entirely consumed. The greater part of; these consisted of stores and magazines but no lives were lost. It has already been mentioned that great distress! prevailed at the Cape <Je Verd Islands, in conseanence t" v+ f,,vther accounts wwc ^IcI^V^'Wcmi^Pe^e yesterBay, from vrhioii it appears that in Cravo and Fogo no less than 200 individuals had perished, and the utmost distress continued gene- rally to prevail. Accounts from Madras to the 10th of August, and from Calcutta to the 28th of July, have been received. A very serious fire occurred on the 25th in the range of! buildings forming the arsenal within Fort William. It I was with the utmost exertion and great difficulty that the whole were saved from destruction. The armoury was saved. The loss of the Government, which was at first much over-rated, is stated in the more au- thentic accounts at about 50,0001. Had the fire ex- tended to the armoury the loss would have been ten times as great.

The Courier of to-day, in contradicting the state- ment, that the Russian loan, attempted to be raised in this country, was for the purpose of raising additional levies of 100,000 men, says-" Now nothing can be more erroneous than these statements or these sur- mises. The Russian Government has not raised any new levies, nor does it contemplate the raising of new levies. The money is wanted solely for internal pur- poses for the carrying on of the general improvements in progress throughout the immense dominions of Russia. In fact, we have reason to know that the present sum is required by Russia for the carrying on of plans exclusively domestic; for the amelioration of the condition of the people a design commendable on the part of the Russian Government, and one which should meet rather with approbation than obstruction from the people of this country." The Morning Chronicle of yesterday gives the fol- lowing paragraph:—"At a moment when the great question of peace or war may be literally said to tremble in the balance, it is our duty to omit no op- portunity of procuring the earliest and best intelligence on this important topic; and it is with peculiar satis- faction we make the following statement: a capitalist whose operations exert an influence throughout the M hole of civilized Europe, has just received from the Prime Minister of one of the Great Powers the most distinct assurance that the general Continental Peace ia in no danger. This communication is of the m6re value, as, in addition to its own intrinsic importance, as ascertaining the pacific intentions of a power of the first military and political consequence, it contains the most explicit contradictions of reports circulated of a difference of opinion between the Power in question and the other Great Powers, whose movements have for some time been looked on with apprehension. The communication to which we refer asserts, in the most unqualified terms, the entire cordiality that subsists in the views and purposes of the three Great Military Powers." It is gratifying to add, that the German papers fully corroborate this statement. The language of them has for some time been of a remarkably pacific tenour, and the military attitude of the principal States was never less threatening than at the present moment. The Elections areproceedingwith great rapidity -through every part of the kingdom, and the contests for the various cities and boroughs have mostly con. eluded. For many of the counties electioneering pro- ceedings have likewise commenced. Lord Henley has retired from the contest of.Middle- sex, contrary, it is said, to the wishes of his committee; this has led to the introduction of a new candidate in the person of Sir. C. Forbes. Sir Charles Wethe- rell has been defeated at Oxford, and Sir Edward Sug- den at Cambridge. Colonel Sibthorpe also has losthis election for Lincoln. Mr. Hunt has been turned out at Preston but in lieu, the new Parliament is to be enlightened by Cobbett for Oldham. It is rumoured that his Majesty, with the kind con- sideration of saving to the country, for the present, the late Speaker's retiring pension of 4,0001. per annum, has made it his personal request to Mr. Manners Sutton that he would resume the high office in Parliament; and that, s uch. is consequently to be the case, i At a meeting of the Subscribers to Lloyd's on Wednesday, 1001. was voted for the widows and orphans of 111 seamen lately drowned off the Shetlands, and 501. to the expedition in search of Captain Ross. in search of Captain Ross.
