= CUSTOM seems to require that, on the publication of this our first nuuiher, we should give some account of our principles* and Of the course we intend to adopt in regard to the future conduct of the Paper. Having already suiffciently expired these matters in our printed Prospectus, we deem it unneces- aary on the present occasion to comply with that usage. j It hu been said (and not without reason) that the love of country embraces evCrysoeial aSeetioh, which can animate the human breast If a whole kingdom, composed of maiigr •rge districts, be entitled to this extensive and .Isb^ Withm a narrower focus, and confined to one partienlar (&V tnct or place, which fancy loves to call her own? In the county of Monmouth, where our childhood -was passed anull scenes of the most rotnantiifbeauty, where the dawn of intelligence first opened our ejts to the loveliness of nature, we have erected the altar of our patriotism, consecra- ted by the earliest enjoyments of existence, and endeared by the sweetest pleasures of recollection. Monmouthshire! dear Monmouthshire! though excited by the restless spirit of youth, we have Visited other and far dis- tant countries, our heart untravelled has still confessed its home in thee I Though in the course of our perigrinations we have seen with pleasure and surprise many delightful prospects, comprising the grand, the picturesque, and the sublime, thou hast ever carried off the palm of admiration! Ile vine-covered plains of Italy have seemed less pleas- ing than thy verdant meadows and yellow conr-fields j on Mount St Bernard we have thought of fhy Skvrridd; and from the hanks of the far-famed Rhine our imagination has fondly turned to review the charms of fhineown enchanting Wye! Monmdnth&hire! tleár MoninôùtbsMe te what interest- ing associations dost thou give birth! History and fiction ltme combined to make thee famous. Thy soil has been trodden by Roman feet; and is conrifected with the noblest achievements of British chivalry. Thy fallen castles remind B* of feudal magnificence; and thy monastic filing inspire vti irtth superstitious veneration! Animated by these feelings towards our native'cbunty, with what satisfaction do we commence the task, to which we have devoted our humble talents! There is spirit of enthusiasm within us, that seemS to divest study of its irk- someness, and fatigue of its langour. The idea of difficulty produces no apprehension; that of performance has appa- rently ho limit. And yet these Are but mental delusions, in which prudtnee forbids us to indulge. Whatever vanity may prompt out weakness to believe, we must not forget how narrow is the capacity of the most gifted mo; ,al, and how soon even his proudest faculties may be impaired by accident or disease. Db we then despond? Far from it; but we think with the authot of Rasselas, that no man Ought to raise expectations, which it may not be in his power to satisfy; and that it is a thousand times more pleasing to see smoke brightening into a flame, than flame sinking into smoke: the latter being a proof of what generally results from vain glorious profes- sions, and the former of modest diffidence, performing more than it has dared to promise.

« Six YRABS AND A HALF have been added to the fall of time since the above Address introduced the MON- JIOCTHSHIRE MERUM to the tiotict gbd PATRONAGE of the Public. The Writer-the Establisher of the Paper- animated with feelings honourable to his amor patriae teu there was a xmnt in hit bative county, which his fen- terprise, and confidence in his own resojUMeS) deter- mined hita to supply. MONMOUTHSHIRE, hallowed by its hiltótièál reeonections, the cradle of tnen, Whose genius ahed a lustre on the country oitheit birth as Well as on that dt their adoption, the resort of the traveller, the fairy IltKJ of the poet, the home of fhfe industrious in the possession of boundless mines of wealth,.with a hardy and ait inquiring population, was, up to the Twenty-third of May, Eighteen Hundred a*d Tweritp- nine, WITHOUT a Newsj aper I It was a reflection on its literary reputation that Could not be too soon tetaoved. It was removed, and the MfcRLiN beftme the Ccifcstt PAPE6 :■—the organ of its interests, the chronicler61 its wants, the fnirfdr of its wishes, and the assfcfteir of i rights, Mueh was promised, and in the Space of tbre years many of these promises were redeemed, end when the editorial labours of him who « 6rst flung rriifid" into its columns ceased, those columns attested that "ex- pectatioritf had not been raised which It had not been in his powei to satisfy." We can so far speak without hesitation; but in reverting to more recent years, we feel a restraint, a stopping of oar pen in trabtttu—a te. liictance tó be (óo ïninute-too recoÍlee{ive, Aod why ? *6 voill have tè1 allude to ouftelveS, afid self is ever an uninteresting subject with the world. We heartily wish we Could here let it rest, but in talking of the patronage which has placed our Journal upon a footing second to none atttofig its provincial Contemporaries,we must be par- doned, nay, we cannot avoid reverting to the clearly de- fined line of duty whieh we originally marked out for our guidance, and which we have fiinde Undfeviatingly fol- lowed through good is well as eVil report. The livery of party, the badge of partisanship, we disdained to wear; we truckled to no than, we flattered no weak. ness, we palliated no offences; our ends were public, cut means open and undisguised. DatiM of pafamount importance, we originally declared, were still imperative on Journalists: their best efforts and energies should be devoted, we said, with persevering activity, expansive policy, and uncompromising honesty, to render the pro- visions of Britain's Second MAGMA CHARTA of Utility to the framework of society, extensively beneficial 10 the people, and a permanent glory to the empire. The public Instructor, we felt, should have those great prin- ciples in view, and not "To party give up what was meant for mankind." He should, to recdHded by us, duly regard the mwflefit liberality of the times, and the prospects that then brightened in the political horizon, and while he ad- voeated forbearance, and endeavoured to promote con4 filiation, he should Strenuously Uphold the vital necessity of retrenchment in every department of the State. He sliouia assist in promulgating to the community a true knowledge of their rights, their duties, and their in- ttrests, but without detracting from that dignified cha- racter the PRESS should ever support. Nil falsi aiideat, nil veri non audeat dicete. Thus we spoke-,thus we have since acted. The de* Velopment of the Reform Bill, in the spirit and simple jnajesty of a regenerated Constitution, we considered the first duty of Ministers to pursue—the undoubted right of the people to demand. Severe has been the strugglfe in many instances, but the fruit has begun to peep 1 through the thick foliage of words which has so long sought to obscure the treasures within. From promises We have asfcerided to deeds, and the MUNICIPAL RE- FoaM BILL, if not the Reform Bill of first anticipations, Will is calculated to work a great revolution in our Cor- porations, and moves in the track marked out by the first charters of freedom. From the nomination of a council room it transfers the election to the hustings, where u liberty of choice" has gained triuiftphi which have for ever extinguished the rute of the few over the heritage of the many. Notwithstanding the great tpftthcy- of the London Times, the Liberal Press of England has been true to the sacred trusts reposed in it, and the majorities which scared SIR ROBERT PEEL from power were, perhaps, secured by the PUBLICIST Successfully wielding the sceptre of opinion. Our own immediate district has not been barren of its victories, and the hiimble part we took in the several struggles in which our principles were engaged will ever constitute a proud remembrance in our lives, But other battles will have to be fought, and the MERLIN will not falter in its course. It will maintain its independence, at the same time that its eolumns shall be open to ALL. Freedom of discussion is the birthright of Englishmen, the salt of life—they cannot exist in its void and they have had, and ever shall possess, the means of fait and honourable attack, the opportunity for candid and just replication in the pages of the MoNiibtnrHSftfRfc MtfttiN. So far we deemed it tight to Speak It introductory of the CHANCE which we how feel it our duty to thus formally announce. A change! The word it portentous, it grates upon the ear—but start hot, reader! It is not a change of politics, chamelkfn like, the assumption of another and a different hue. No Such a thought would be preposterous even in the minds of those most bitterly opposed to us in politico. We have CHANGED, it is true, but in only transferring our quarters from the LAKCAS- TER to the LIVERPOOL of Monmouthshire—from its in- land te its COMMERCIAL Capital. We do it to increase the sphere of our usefulness. We do it at the urgent request of some of our most respected and influential friends, the great majority br-óur readers, the first among the REFORMERS of Newport, and their equally honest brethren of Monmouth, the wishes of äll cheer lis on iii out course; arid it will be the first object of our am- bition to reatise the bightat eilactitiotit of this and the neighbouring COUNTIES. We fit our future residence in a Town, which is the lait at the creations of the once. « deeply bedded weaith"—of the ever abroad and stirring enterprise of Erigland. Newport, surrounded by dis- tricts rich in the almost inexhaustible treasures of the earth, gives promise of a greatness, which the rtvellirigs of the most enthusiastic faney cannot too highly colour. Liverpool, rising like attother Venice from the sea, owed the germs of its present mercantile renown to its ability to ballast every vesset that crossed the Rock Perchli ih search of a freight, with Hit and coal, the Staple produce of South Lancashire. Ships, in consequence, crowded the Mersey, when the treasures that could be shipped from its banks became knowti; and, from a poor de- cayed town, petitioning itsv Sovereign to be exempted from a paltry subsidy, It has risen into the magnificent attitude of the second port in the world I Ships from her docks navigate every sea, and if we could but raise the curtain which hides futurity from our view, might we hot lbt our eyes upon a period, not«far hid in the vista of time," when the depths of ocean's bed may be traversed by stately ships, with "NEWPORT" proudly written on their sterns. Within is activity, without is hope. The expanding proportions of a growing town everywhere meet the view. Houses are rising, docks eMavating,— Miratur Molem, Aneas megalia quondam Miratur portus, Strepitumque, et strata Viarum Instant ardentes Tyrii. Called to this new scene of our labours, we tre aware of the increased responsibility, the augmentation of du- ties, which our present position devolves upon us. Sub- jects, embracing in their scope, the varied and important interests of the destined emporium of the PRINCIPALITY, shall meet our sedulous attention. We have made ar- rangements to secure the most authentic shipping intel- ligence, and our Paper, we will take care, shall lie upon the tables of the different Exchanges and Chamber? of Commerce in the Kingdom. The Markets shall be ac- curately given, the prices of Stocks not forgotten, and the barometer of the Share Market duly reported., But this accession to our other duties shall never for a mo- ment deaden in us the recollection of the interests of that Town in which the MERLIN first commenced its career. Its local advancement we shall ever advocate, its political batfleS We Shall ever, with out poo)- abilities, fight. Out reminiscences of the days passed within it cannot fade from our minds: one glance towards its bright amphitheatre of verdant hills would, if we could be forgetful, awakeh in us feelings that would keep us true to our duty. We will not say ft re well, for with us it is a word "1— that must not be." We will be often amofig our old friends; Out Paper will eome out there as usual; aftd the Borough of Mon- mouth will continue to have the same devoted zeat dis- played in its service, which it has often, too kindly at. kaowlodged, too flatteringly approved. To our Advertising Friends a few brief words will be sufficient. With them, justly and properly, CIRCULATION is every thing. The "Head Quarters "of the MERLIN being at Newport is essentally for their advantage; but this is a proposition so plain, so striking, so conclusive, that we feel ourselves not called upon to offer a single remark in its support. We gratefully return thanks for all their favours, and in recommending to them the observance of the maxim carpe diem, hope they will be early in the transmission of their future orders.

EXPERIENCE, and abundant testimony, have proved E that these medicines have been applied with the most complete success, as an unfailing remedy in the most direful diseases to which the human frame is subject, not excepting that awful epidemic—the cholera. Many and various have been the attempts of a certain class to disparage these invalu- able medicines, and to deprive the public of the use of them, and none so glaringly absurd and devoid of truth, as the as- sertion that they are a deleterious and dangerous compound. But such attempts have been, happily, fruitless the strata- gem has failed, and the report has proved to be a pure inven- tion to subserve an invidious and selfish rafotive. These me- dicines have Survived the most formidable, malignant, and unwarranted opposition, that has been raised against them, and a rapidly tOcreasing demand is evincing beyond question, that they are*tne greatest blessing eyer introduced to the pub- lic. A single trial will remove the strongest prejudices, and convice the^nost faithless of their benefit and utility. The Vegetable Universal Medicines are sold, with full di- rectives, in Pills (marked No. 1 and No. 2); Boxes, Is .lId, 2s$&4, 4s"fld, and lis; and the ApCneat Sawders st -lid per box. The extraordinary success of Niorison's Ditediciues has given rise to a great variety of imitations by Druggists, and others; the Public will, therefore, do well to observe that these Me- dicines ate not to be had of any Druggist, but only of the specially appointed Agents, viz.:— General Wholesale Agent for the District, MR.C.
