I apjwehended both of theui,, Squeezed my hand, which was sore, till the blood came. 1 was obliged to beat him violently be- fore he would loosen his hold. David Williams, the landlord, came up I called on him in the King's name to assist me. The other ^prisoner in the mean time made his escape. 1 called to Thomas Hopkins and others to search the wheelbarrow, and in it were found four tubs of brandy, contained in a cask. The wheelbarrow had on it the name of Edward Morgan Mr. Morris the excise officer then came in. David Williams had tolds me the man said he was fearful of bringing it down himself, that if he (David Williams,) would go for it, he would give him a note to go to Edward Morgan to fetch it. I then told Mr. Morris, the excise officer, that I suspected there was more at Edward Morgan's. I accompanied Mr. Morris to Mr. Morgan's, asked if he was at home; the woman at the shop said he was not. I went for assistance, leaving Morris in Mr. Morgan's shop; when I returned Mr. Morgan was there. I told him we wished to look over his stores, he said we were welcome to do so. We searched his premises, but nothing was found that had been smuggled., Mr. Chas. Morris, excise officer, sworn, confirmed many parts of the proceeding testimony. The last witness spoke-tp Mr. Curtis the supervisor and me yesterday, in the malthouse of the Angel Inn. He said there.wa^n smuggler at Coed-y-Cymar, who had been offering spirits, in the town for sale. He asked, if any person offered t«> buy that liquor would he be in danger of a prosecution ? Mr, Curtis answered that he would not if he did not pay for the liquor, but gave information. I went away to make some inquiries; when I returned the ^ffray was over, and prisoner was in custody of 4?IMI Thomas. I told prisoner that he ,qoy in the King's name. I heard that that thece were jktro in other places; I went with John Thornas to Mr. Morgan's, who told me that two men had called on him, one had borrowed a wheelbarrow, .the oth^r a basket.^ He .did not know what the mau wanted the wheelbarrow for, but lent it to him because he height butter from him. I said the wheelbarrow o name, and that we must search bitr premises^ wukh Mi-Morgan willingly con- sented. i with others went afterwards to Roger Vau;,Oan!s -itk Coed-y-Cymar, who told me that two cjaft^nnd. four men with them had come in that morn- Linf?>5that one. of the mew had returned but the other ♦«>» ""A.

The horse and, earl were deivered to me on my becoming answerable, for 5s. which the owner of the cart owed to the landlord. Prisoner, in.answer to the charge, said that he knew nothing.about the brandy some men, whom he did not kuow,.offend toi pay him for helping them to wheel it iuto the yard. He lived at Wain Vach, Cold Blow^near ^asbejrlb, Roger Yaughan, landlord -of the George Inn, Coed- y^ymar, ^o^firmed several parts of the foregoing te^tuiiony,hut jJ^sctesedalso,that two men (suspected -of being coHcerned io this affair) had left his house about bal £ ^>ast sey.en in the evening. In answer to a question, this witness stated that he had told the officers, who came a little before eight, that the two men had left wo house about twelve. The Magistrates expressed strong indignation at the conduct of the witness, by which the officers had been prevented attempting a pursuit of the other two men when it probably would have been successful. Acting on the 83d sec. of the 6 th Geo. 4, cap. 108 commonly called the Smuggling Act, the Magistrates remanded the prisoner for 10 days, to afford the su- pervisor time to oBtain further evidence. POA'Cn' ING, illiain Davis and John Williams, -W 'Were chiarged with poaching on the lands pf J. J. Guest, Ksq. M on Sunday last. John James, gamekeeper to Mr. Guest, deposed that on Sunday he heard Jogs giving tongue" in a field near Morlals Çastle: farm concealed himself under a hedge in' direction in which they were going. The two prisoners came up, Davis with an iron bar, Williams with a nhovel, in his hand, and they had with them two terriers- Witness asked them what eri,ie they wantedtSere; thy replied they were only ex, èrcisiil the X9Iillg)dog, and came there to see the quarry': they then threw away the tools, and witness said they musi-conie with him to Mr. Thompson, the farm agent; prisoners said they would not do so again, but witness t&dk them into cust6dy. Did not know that they had-ltilled anything. This testimony was confirmed by ^another witness, who said the prisoners were encouraging the dogs in pursuit of game. The Magistrates,consideration of the aggravated cir- cumstances of this offence being on the Sabbath, and the prtsdtrerf tfetrrytrfg wTrtrrhem the tKffrUSr and the shovel, convicted them in the full penalty of 4us, each. In default of payment the prisoners were com- mitted. Llewellin Thomaa and Thomas Rees, far poaching also, with greyhounds, on the lands of the Dowiais Company,ooi'$.atul'day last, were convicted in the penalty of 40S'. each. These prisoners also were found and apprehended by the above-mentioned witness, John James. The prisouer Llewellin Thomas said that his dog, hearing a rabbit caught irr a wire, leaped into the field, and he only leaped in after it- DEC. 4.—Eyan Philip, boatman, was committed on the oaths of sser Mort and others, for stealing coal on the 3d. inst" from a boat at Merthyr, the pro- perty of Lucy TThptnas, widow, of Wainwillt. MASTERS A.sd Workmkn.—Thomas Rees, founder, applied to the Magistrates on the following case, 1 He slated that -he was engaged.by Mr. John Evans, agent to the Dowlais Iron Company, as a founder; that he had revived warning of one month to quit; and that Mr. EVVLus had ordered him during the term of the warning,to work at filling cinders. The ap- plicant considered that he was entitled to be employed during that timers a founder, in which capacity he was engaged, j^1"Bruce considered this a very nice question. If the master so acted through malice, the litwon the. case was clear; but malice was a thing which it was extremely difficult to prove. On the other hand, the master might, through an appreheu- sion of malice, and consequently of wanton injury on the part of the workman, feel it necessary to employ him on some labour at which he could not do injury. The.Magistpates after consultation, expressed their.. opinion ttwU the workman was entitled to be employed during the iefWi°f his warning, at the same labour at which.he was eøgiJed, it being of course in the power of the eihplaye* punish.him for any misdemeanour but they c>»»iuewd the case one of so much uncer- tainty, that they intend to-take counsel's opinion upon it. DEC. 6.Jobn Edwards, miner, Dowlais, was committed- for one month to hard labour in the House of Correction, a gross assault and trespass in the house of Owell Bwen the keeper of a beer house. In answer to a, question of the magistrate how ofteg.t,e had'beeh drunk since the summons had be*fii!served upon hiritti be- replied. fl every day watkih-Williutns, Heallitodk: beer- house, Merthyr, was "-ftilftd 40s. rfor keepingjfciS'house open between the hamii* often Undone 4\11 Sunday the 1st inst.

m^EOWrHSHIRE M6NMQ«fH.0ti'vjferiday week, Wm. Fuller, the acUv« police officer of. this town, apprehended,; twor^guDg4el^owst named Thomas Young, and Thos.: Sjp^ti^ad' their femal^.j .companions, Charlotte ;¥oung.> £ alias Harriet Br<^ks)and Eliza Sweet, hav- ing in their possession sevpn dead fowls recently killed (s<a«se ofwich were very old ones) and partly y stripped of their feathers. As every enquiry was made in the neighbourhood, among those who keep; poultry without suc^ess, the two men were brought up to the rtagistriitesl,r66m "on Monday last, and ex-; amined as to. their mode of living, and were con- victed as TOgueS and vagabonds, and committed to. prison for two mdnths to hard labour the girls were discharged. Thfey all stated themselves to belong toBedmiHster a»d St&pl6K>Vnear Bristol. On Tw^Sftay last, a young man named John Russell, a Wagg^nner, was Committed to Monmouth Gaol:, oh a change of stealing five packets of to- badc<t from the warehouse of Messrs. Dyke and Son, in which he was discovered to have secreted himself. FiRE.—On Thursday afternoon a fire broke out in a cottage on the Kymin, near MonmoOth. The inmates,an aged labouring man and his wife, were 1 enabled to rescue a bed and most of their humble furniture, but the dwelling was burnt to the ground. The Annuill ShowofSir Chas. Morgan, Bart's Agricultural Stock will take place at Court y-Bella Farm, near Newport, on Tuesday, the 17th Dec. 1833. LANVtHANGI&L.-Oll Monday last, the atiricui- turnl labourers about 70 in number, of Charles Morgan, Esq. of Ruperra Castle, sat down to an excellent substantial dinner at the Inn at Lanvi- hangel, provided by their respected master, and finished the day in merriment and harmony lor which they expressed themselves truly thanktul. In the Castle, also, mirth and festivity reigned; we understand the eldest son ot Mr. Morgan on that day attained his fifth year. 'A-gS!t(;AVENNY AND NEWPORT RAi.ilWAY.-Coll- siderable difference of opinion prevails as to the expediency of this undertaking. The objection to it "c understand to be, that it is slIppmwd to clal) %vitli the (,f the Iloi)!i)outhsliii,e (,iti,al (,(), while, on th? other hand, it is alleged that the rates of tonnage on the Canal are too high, and that the Railway will pass over a new jine 0f country and benefit Abergavenny and Usk. HORTICULTURAL Siiow.-The Abergavenny Horti- cultural Show took place yesterday week there is always an excellent variety of fruit, flowers, &e. but we regret that it does not meet with better encou- ragement. Several keepers of beer-houses at Abergavenny have been this week fined in the mitigated penalty for selling tobacco without licence the informa- tions are laid by a set of fellows going from house to hotls(- for that I)tirpose. On the 5th of December, Charles Phillips was committed to Monmouth Gaol, by the Rev. Wm. Powell, at Abergavenny, for stealing out of the dwelling house of Thomas Pritchard, of the Varteg, wearing apparel and a watch. He was apprehended at Lanvihangel, with the whole of the property in his possession. NEWPORT—LAUNCH.—On Saturday last, Mr. Perkins, the spirited proprietor of the Dry Dock, launched from his yard a large ship, burthen nearly 600 tons, named the Daniel Grant, after the owner, an extensive merchant in Liverpool, who fits her out immediately for Lima and Quito. She is the largest vessel that was ever built at this port, and is certainly a beautiful model of the present style of naval architecture. The no- velty of so large a vessel being built here drew a concourse of spectators to see her meet the flowing- tide the signal being given, she glided slowly and stately into her element. It was a tie launch, and altogether reflects the highest credit on Mr. Perkins as a skilful builder. The shipwrights had a jolly cruise upon the occasion. We under- stand Mr, P. has orders for another ship of the same burden he has also a fine brig on the stocks, which -will soon be ready. Ship building is at present- very brisk here. On Tuesday a party of 30 gentlemen, by invitation from Mr. Perkins, sat down to an excellent dinner at the Westgate Inn, served up in the Messrs. Iggulden's usual style; the wines were excellent, and gave great satis- faction. VESTRY MEETING-—The vestry meeting, which we noticed last week as about to take place res- pecting the payment of the county rate by the Borough, was held on Friday last, when the parish officers were directed not to pay such rate and the Meeting resolved that they should be indem- nified by the parish in resisting the claim. On Saturday the officers attended a summons, issued by the County Justices, to shew cause.why they refused to pay the rate, when they produced the resolutions of the parish meeting, and objected to make the required payment. The county justices I therefore granted a warrant to the chief constable of the borough to levy the amount by distress. We understand, however, that at the town Petty Sessions, held on Monday last, the chief constable, by the directious of the county justices, attended and made application to the town magistrates to back the warrant, but the town magistrates, with- out entering into the question of the liability or ion-liability of the borough to contribute to the rat(?, declined doing this. The reason, we believe, for their so objecting was, that they thought, that as the County Rate Act authorizes justices of the county to rate only such places as are within the limits of their commission and not places having sepa- rate jurisdiction, the county justices might in this case compel payment of the rate without the assistance of the town magistrates, if Monmouth were within the limits of their comniissioit that the backing of the warrant by them, the town magistrates, would ouly be necessary upon the presumption that if was not wilhinsllch limits, but had a separate juris- diction and if so, then it was not liable to be rated at all, and the rate ought not to be enforced. MELANCHOLY ACCIOEM".—0» Friday week last, Mr Coles, a respectable farmer, residing st the Court Farm, Llanvihangel, near Pontypool, visited his son, who keeps a provision shop near the Pen Twn Re- form Brewery, Abersychan, and upon retiring to bed, when he had reached the summit of the stairs, either from a sudden attack of apoplexy, or some other cause, lost his equilibrium, and fell to the bottom, by which, he sustained such severe injury of the spine, that, notwithstanding prompt surgical assistance, be died on the following day.

( ALARMING ACCIDFNT.Oll the evening of ili4 25th ult. the day on which the house of Buckland wait enlivened by the birth of the son and-heir of Major- Gwynne Hoiford, the gallant Major was caressing his infant with all the feelings of delight incident to suchji an occasion, when, by some unfortunate accident, the; flame of the candle came in contact with the bed on' which his lady was lying. The bed clothes were irn- mediately in flames, and the fire threatened for a time: the most tragical conclusion to the interesting and' auspicious day. By prompt and energetic assistance however, the flarneswere extinguished, not without the most serious alarm to Mrs. Holford and the famiiyj The lady was obliged, in the very delicate state in' which she w-is, to undergo-the hazardous operation of* being removed to another room; but weaie happy t0; learn that no permanent injury is likely to result. A labourer, who was occasionally employed- by the Brecon 1 ram Road Company, last week^ whilst en- gaged at the machinery met vvith a very serious accident. His leg got entangled in one of the Wheels and was dread-' fully bruised. Amputation became necessary, and the unfortunate man has been in a very precarious state, but- we understand he is likely to recover. Last week, David Thomas, of 'Devynnock, butcher, was employed to slaughter a cow, the property of. John Morgan, hsq.; whilst in the act of knocking shen down she fell upou him. His leg was broken, and be now lies in a very dangerous state. PllliSENT Sl'ATE OF THE BRECKNOCK. COUNTY c A nr.

society FOR THE Di !• i I'siOiy or USEFUL KNOWLEDGE & WELSH LITERATURE. This Society is one of the very few good thino's which emanate from the men who form the present Administration. To the natives of the Principality the new Welsh Magazine (Cylch- grawn) as advertised in our columilSj which isi published under their supenntendance, will be a great acquisition. The country teems with Moutljly Periodicals, each supported by its own particular sect or party the information con- tained in them is generally rather below me- diocrity, in respect of 'useful knowledge." The Cyichgrawn will open an entirely Hew channel for the flow of native talent, will present a new feature in Cambrian Literature, Ind ftffoi-d means of bringing the literary stores of other nations to the door of every cottager in the Principality. VVre highly approve of the plan of the work, and doubt not that it will be liberally supported by every true lover of this conntry as it belongs not exclusively to any creed or party, it {jjjg fajr to find its way to every fire side, and to attract the attention of its readers, from the perusal of perni- cious trash, to really useful information. The Editor, we have been given to understand, is a gentleman of well known literary character.

We near that lid ward Jones, Esq. Llandovery, has been appointed Clerk of the Peace for the County of Carmarthen, in the room of the "late Charles Morgan, Lscj. deceased; an appointment which- reflects high credit upon the Lord Lieut.

At a recent examination of the pupils at the Beaumaris Free Grammar School, at which the Right Rev. the Bishop of Bangor presided, the college exhi. bitions of201, were given as. usual to the three candi- date supposed to be the most meritorious. The Bishop of Bangor liberally conferred upon a fourth cauditate of merit, a similar sum, from his private purse. FLINTSHIRE EISTEDDFOD.—The tJon. Mr. Mostyn has consented to act as president of the Eisteddfod to be holden at Holywell, in 183,53 and has headed the list of contributions with the munificent donation of oifEiflUNDKED POUNDS. The- secretaries are now making application to the noblemen and gentry of Powys and Gwynedd to become patrons and vice- patroOs of this National Festival. The inhabitants of Holywell have come forward on this occasion with tbeir .well known liberality, and intend to erect a Spacious and suitable building (for the purpose of e^leWitiug the Bardic Festival amongst them), and afterwards to serve as a Town HaM, &c.-&C-at the expense of upwards of two thousand powids.

Chambers, Esq. against the Road Surveyor of Llanelly, who allowed a large heap of stones to remain on the tuiupike-i-oad leading from Swansea to that town. One of the gentlemen who was driving in his gig the preceding night, drove in contact with the stones and was nearly upset, and on his arrival at Llauellyj knowing that the other gentlemen were to folldw him in a short time on that road, very judi- ciously sent lights to be placed on the stones to pre- vent any accident occurring to them.—The surveyor was fined, with costs.-C'arniarihen Joiti-rial. ELOPEMENT.—An elopement took place from this town Monday last. The parties were respectable, and their arrangements, were so well contrived, that they got clear off in ft chaise aud four. They took the rodte to Hereford, of which place we learn the geiitle-naii to be a resident, atid where we'undersftincl it is their intention to bL- d aX.the^hrine, of Hyoieu tie the Gordiau knot, and make tnvolovers liippy.4 ibid. • ■ SilipwitECK,-We regret to state thea (lie sloop • -Inn, laden with corn .butteiy. bouo«l.^frotn ■ St. f Clears to Gloucester, was wreek^d od-. Teuhy Oil Wed. Tie»-;iay se'nnight, in sight of the inhabitants, who r'tVoni thf2<stormy state of the weather, were unable to render the .crew any assistance.. Fortunately, how- ever, a short time before the vessel sunk, the crew betook themselves to the boat, and, we are happy to say, th"y reached the shore, to the gratification ofthd numerous spectators who were every moment appre- -'hen^jve they would meet a watery grave.—-Jltid, MILFORD, NOV. 2Sth, 1H33.—The Speedy, cutter, Lieut. Roepel, commander, which arrived here from Portsmouth last week, was unexpectedly and suddenly ordered off to Waterford, with all possible despatch, ou Thursday, the -21st inst.; and although the wind was west, and blowing n-early a gale, she proceeded on her voyage on Friday, to the Emerald Isle. This circumstance is another proof of the eligibility of Milford Haven for a rendezvous for /nen- of-war, its they call so coot, get away to the westward. Indeed, until lately there was always a man-of-war on the station, but tor the last few years, the port has been entirelv unguarded by sea; surely, the attention of the Admiralty need only be called to the fact, to have the omission remedied. It is only surprising their ideas have not hitherto been attracted to it; an cneiuy—should-a sudden fracas occur between nations —may even in an open boat do a considerate injury to the Naval Arsenal, as they would meet no resistance from the Admiralty. Qaery—otlght not some in office to correspond with their lordships on the sabject? CLERICAL LIBEIIALITY._ [.it these times of dis- union and complaiut, we readily avail ourselves of the opportunity of staling what is more harmonious and .acceptable. Thursday last was the Tithe receipt of the Rev. A. B. Evans, rector of Colnc Rogers, in this county; upon which occasion he liberally returned • 10#. per.eeiit. to his tenants. So gratifying has his conduct beeu to them, that the wish to make it public has emanated entirely from them, without Mr. Evana* knowledgie or concurrence.—Gloucester Chronicle. AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATIONS.—We have made some general observations on this subject in àr- ticle which was in type before we hlid the satisfaction of learning that several influential agriculturists had determined to form a society for the pvoniot ion and encouragement of good farming, and -for the fair protection of the interests of agriculture. We un- derst«uiflr>that on this day week a meeting will be hel,nt.th,Spead Eagle, in the Nortligate-street, at ■Which it is expected that such preliminary measures, will be taken as witt ensure the immediate forma- tion of an Agriucltural Society'ifta" this county?—Ibffl. GLOUCESTER Ews' FAIR.—:Our Fair on Thurs- day last, was one of the worst known for many years. The cattle of all descriptions (except pigs) here of a vei'y inferior quality there was scarcely "a good yoke of oxen, aad very few fat beasts or,slieep;. those of gVod^quality fetched high prices.

The show takes place oil the 5th of December next Ibid. Inquest.—On Thursday last as some men were felling-timber in the woods of Earl Bathurst, a tree tailing against the branches of another tree changed its cors and killed OIlC of the men. An iuqnest was ut,se and killed one ofthe me on Friday taken before J. Mountain, Esq. when a verdict of" Accideutal death" was returned. Ibid. INCENDIARISM.—A contemporary suggests, that as the misguided wretches, who commit the ciime ot 'nceoriiarism, in most instances isflict no loss upon the farmer, but only oil the Fire Insurance Companies, and thereby injure persons whom they probably never saw or heard of, it might be attended with some good, if every farmer, &c. were to have painted upon his barn, or in some other conspicuous place, t:KJ woids—— I" The my property is fully insured.

HENRY MORGAN THE WELSH BUCCANEER TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GUARDIAN. SIR,—In your last week's Guardian I read a letter signed Nidensis, in which he seems to wish for an account of the celebrated pirate and Buccaneer, Captain Morgan. In 'a book entitled A 'geiteral history of the lives and alTd actions of the most remarkable Highwaymen, Pirates, &c.» I find a short history of this Morgan, but us the .account alluded to contains a much greater quantity of matter than would suit the columns of a uewspaper, I must. content myself with referring Nidensis to Lile book before mentioned. I am, Sir &c. W. V.

lilJYS MOIIOJ^ I r TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GUARWAN. SIR,-Yotir correspondent, An Enquirer,has begged me (in very ingenious EnglynionJ to furnish him with some memoirs of Rhys Morgan and David Nicholas. Though both these sons. of genius wasted their "sweetness on tIle "desert air," yet ample records of the latter may be ohtained, and I will endeavour to procure them—Rhys Morgan was less known. He was the son of a substantial farmer, and was brought up at Pencrajgnedd farm. He wooed the Muses very early in life; and excited the jealousy of John Bradford, of Llangeinwr (also h Bard); who made a considerable' wagter that David Thomas, a tinker in Ystradyfodwg, would beat him in extempore poetry. The challenge was accepted. Morgan Llewelyn, schoolmaster St Neath, was ap- pointed umpire, and they mut Poutneath Vaughan a celebrated fighting cock belonging to the landlord was declared the subject, and the prize was awarded to Rhys Morgan. Later in life he fell into difficulties, which was generally attributed to his being engaged manV litigious disputes his effects' were 'sold, arid hp was sent to Cardiff Gaol. Here 'he offered, with seven of his fellow-prisoners, to join the Duke of seven ot his fellow-prisoners, to join the Duke df Cumberland in the North, but hi?, creditors were inexorable. Of a large stock of cattle^ nothing was left unsold but his teat, which he took with him to gaol but this favourite companion was stolen from him, and he vented his spleen in a very clever lament, of which I only recollect the following lines Fe allai bydd rhyw un 0 gant Ac arno chwant gael gwybod Pwy oedd yii berclian a'r y g'ath .,at& A phwy a wnaethy.far'nod I G,r fuassai'ti bercheri catba,u, Cwri, mocli.'da, a gwych getfylau Mae'n awr hefoddyut yn.iach iddyat, 'JDoes oud ej hynan gantho o' hoaynt.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GtlARDIA^ SIR, Having read in* ^our paper of last week the feartul, though unhappily too faithful description of the rapid progress of radicalism and iiiiklelity given in the extract from the United Service Gazette and noticing the lamentable proofs of the demoralized state of the English peasantry,whioh are Continually thrusting themselves upon our observation, in acts of incendiarism and other atrocities of the most base and heartless character, I cannot refrain, ffom thanking God that itly lot has fallen ina part of the kipgcloi.n where these, evils are hither to.tuafeli. Atid as y^ou were among the earliest prornotefS. of the EISTEDDFOD, and consequently a friend to the culti- vation of the Welsh language, 1 trust you will per- mit nje to, congratulate you upon the sueeess of your undertaking, and to express a hope that you will continue to point out to our countrymen th6 debtor gràtitUdewh ichwe owe toonranéient tongue; inasmuch as it has always formed an effectual barrier against the introduction of those democratical and infidel principles which are now the disgrace and scourge of so many districts in England; 3n has also sarved as, the means of presw-ving among us that spirit of nationality and attachment to an eient order, which renders the principality as yet; free from those crimes and miseries so frequently recorded in your pages as characterizing less fa- voured portions of our land. And at the same time I take the opportunity of expressing my surprise that men of property and influence among usarlnotworfi awake to the importance ot this fact. If they were so, instead of being ledastray by that, ignis fatuus called the March oj Intellect, and urging forward the cultivation of the public mind by the introduc- tion of the English language, and the destruction Of the Welsh, they would on the contrary think them- selves fortunate in living amongst a people whose: minds are not yet brought into that Artificial state miscalled civilization, and whose native language has not yet been contaminated by works of infidelity- I say, did our men of property view these things in their true light, instead of wishing the extermination of the Welsh language, they would exert their in- fluence to preserve it from destruction, and cherish the few good feelrhgs of attachment to ancient order which still remain unextinguished among our peo- ple. For they may depend upon this fact, that, should any popular commotion take place in this kingdom, such as many persons seriously apprehend, these national feelings of our- Welsh and these now despised and old-fashioned prejudices will be among the most valuable and effectual safe- guards of our public and pritate welfare, atid per- haps the only resouroes.we shall have to fU::b.a.sk upon for our general preservation; and fortunate will those persons be, vrtTO/' thVbugh tfie medium of their ancient language, mayTSfill have an access to the affections of their people,: The English language is. not what it was twenty years ago like the raass:ofihe peBplfe vrho Sfifeak it, it is changed and coiapljrtely debased-- ,The Ertglish language, in its. pQRiilar and jCurrent use, :iMW longer used as it opce was,as the iipnourable channel of loyal, moral, Ilndi'pioít.fsentirftents; it has dafly now become the base and degraded vehicle ttf 'tbé vilest designs and opinions. >¡: There may be some, who moving m a sphere of society above the actual-an4 personal observation of these facts, may think that lam dealing harshly and unjustly with iheEnglish language (natnople tongue, the depositoiT of\so »j«c/f that is exerelteyit and. admirable in phWftQPtyxtf&toUiicef arid every intellectual refinement l aiid4 would d\yell upon its beauties with raptures a £ a:art^uage 'rtcli in every knowledge th«it c&h exalt tfild fern noble huntan nature or contribute towards the ,eleSancies of polished society! And so undoubtedly it is in the drawing room and the library. But will its intro- duction bring with it science, and refinement^ and elegance to the Welsh peasant ■ Most assuredly, not. It will on the other hand, by displacintj those hereditary feelings which are now associated ^ith the sound of his native tongue, leave hg":nu.nd'a ready receptacle for any new ideas which May felt in his way and unless experience greatly misleads us, the first that will be presented to hlsnottce wilr in all probability be those of athoiv- and democracy. Who would desire the risk of such an e vil ?, Cer- tainly no friend to his country. If the question were now put, Shall the Welsh mountaineer change his habits and language, and resemble the English peasant ? For myself, to such a proposition I should, with all fervency and devotion answer, GOD FORBID. 1 remain, Sir, yours, &c. A CONSTANT READER. jqg—n Tf—■ in—tr*pai
