To the Editor of the J\rorth fVales Gazelle. fcETTER VI. Among the charges urged against me by the author of the Collectanea Cambrica, for my remarks on the translation of the British Chro- iiicle, I have been accused of making false quotations. Had any instances been pointed out, I should have thought proper to reply.— The charge of misrepresentation 1 can with much more reason retort upon the author himself. 1 have likewise been accused of affecting ignorance for asserting that the Brut was not heard of till the twelfth century Had any arguments been offered to shew that it was in existence prior to that time it would be worth while to enquire into the va- lidity of them but when mere vague supposi- tions are substituted, as in the present instance, in the room of argument, it would lie wasting time to make them a subject of discussion.— The learned author is completely bewildered in his defence of the voyage of Brutus on dry land. If he had attempted to prove the exis- tence of canals, or a communication between the numerous saline lakes in Africa, he would have discovered some degree of ingenuity, and might have extricated himself from this ditli- culty with more satisfaction, than by getting a few monosyllables printed in Italics, As the voyage is recorded in the Brut, it is per- fectly clear that Brutus is made to sail on the very same course which the son-in-law of Pharaoh had performed on foot, and for the truth of this assertion I reler to a comparison of the Brut, with the 9th chapler of Nennius. It is unnecessary for me to multiply instances to shew the total want of consistency which pervades the whole of this wonderful- Chroni- cle. There is not a single passage in it, which is free from the most absurd fictions, and I "I have designedly omitted the most extravagant parts of it, as too ridiculous for insertion.— I shall, therefore, proceed to examine the arguments which have been advanced with a view of adding to the authority of it, and in support of its general purport. In the first place the translator endeavours to remove an objection which might be urged from a ge- neral belief that the Druids did not commit I any thing to writing. He thinks this exclu- sively applicable to the Bardic doctrines, and not to historic writings, By this he insinuates that that part of the Brut which contains the British history prior to the Roman invasion, was taken from written records. Nennius in- variably appeals to tradition, and it is to be remarked that when he appeals to antient writings, it i& in continuing the pedigree of Brutus to Noah, which writings therefore must have been subsequent to the age of Druidism; except it be said that the Druids were ac- quainted with the Patriarchal age, or that a copy of the Pentateuch was brought over by the son-in-law of Pharaoh, and deposited in Ireland* To deny that the antient Britonshad the use of letters, or that the Druids had made considerable progress in science, would shew an imperfect acquaintance with Celtic history but this has nothing to do with the authority of the Brut. The bare mention of the lineage of Troy by Taliesin, shewed that the story of Brutus had not then assumed a regular form, and that the fictitious narrative was unknown. This poet, whom the translator ingeniously proves to have been a Romanized Briton, ap- pears to have known very little about such a tradition, if it existed in his time. It was in a very confused sfate when Nennius wrote, be- cause he has given so many contradictory ac- 11 y counts of it. It was left to the inventive ge- nius of Geoffrey, of Monmouth, aided by his friend, Walter Aiapes, to fill up the great va- cancy between Brutus and Cassibulanus. The translator fancies he has discovered an allusion to this tradition, in an epithet applied to the accusers of St. Wilfrid, before the Bishop of Rome. They are styled Pseudograii, by Wil- liam of Malmsbury. The author, accidentally, should suppose, met with this term, and il- stead 01 enquiring into the history of this < transaction, or even examining the context where-it occurs, hastily concluded that it had refel ence to the Trojan colony, and might be produced as a proof that this tradition was current in early times. Such proofs are too common in the Coliertanea Cambrica. The I application ot this title to the accusers of Wil- frid, is best accounted for by recurring to the circuinstances connected wi, ii this transaction, rheodore, Bishop of Canterbury, was Horn In Tarsus, i;i Cilicia, and was a great patron of Grecian literature, which he introduced into this country, see Bede H. 4, 1, 2. Wilfrid was j deposed hy him for disobedience to some of his decrees. He however was reconciled to him afterwards, and endeavoured to make him every satisfaction in his power for the injury he had done him. After Theodore's death which happened in 686, the charges against Wilfrid were revived by some of his friends, and the cause referred to tlfe Pope, by whom he was honorably acquitted The ene- mies of Wilfrid are here called Pseudograii, either because they acted contrary to the example of their patron Theodore, who had before cordially forgiven him, or it might he applied to them in the same sense as the words, GrotcizatUes et snbridentes, are used in the same passage in Williamof Malmsbury, which 110 one, I presume, will consider as having the most distant reference to the ludicrousstory of Brutus. The next document produced in fa- vor of this tradition, is an old manuscript in the British Museum, in which the history of Brutus is mentioned, and said to be taken from Bede. This is very suspicious as Bede in all his works, that are extant, has not a. word about Brutus, and had too great a regard to | truth to give the least credit to it. Upon en- j quiry it proves to he nothing more than an j abridgement of the 3d chapter of Nennius.— j The expressions are so similar that not the I least doubt can remain upon the subject. Bangor. J.

AGRICULTURE. To the Editor of the JSorth Wales Gazette. (i Sferquilinintn magnum stude ut habeas." SiRj—There is certainly no part ofhusban. dry ill which our farmers are more unpardon- ably negligent, than in the management of their Muck-yard<—moslinconsiderately do they suffer those valuable juices to run in waste along the roads, to the annoyance of the (ra- veller, which more attentive husbandmen, would carefully preserve for the enriching of their lands. The farmer's best friend, "un- doubtedly, is his dunghill, but, alas how of- ten does he ungratefully neglect il !—Be care- ful to have a large dunghill, said Cato to his bailiff. Mix well your dung with earth, whilst the wind is west, and the weather dry, says Pliny—. And Columella is particular in his instructions as to the formation of his dung- heap.He says, "there ought to be two places for dung: one for receiving the new dung from the offices, which is preserved in it for a year; and another for keeping the old dung, which from thence is to he carried into the fields-bolh oflhem like fish ponds, should be hollowed with a gentle acclivity, and paved in the bottom, to prevent the moisture from getting away for it is of great importance to preserve the sap, that so, the dung may pre- serve its strength, and be (lutrilied by conti- nual moisture, so that if any seeds of briars, or grass be thrown into the dunghill, along with the straw, they may be destroyed skilful husbandmen therefore quickly carry off whatever dung js carried out of the sheep cotes and stabies, cover it with hurdles made of twigs, and neither allow it to be dried by the winds, nor parched by the rays of the sun". Our British farmer forms one common heap of all the produce of his yard and if he keeps it tolerably well together, supposes that no. thing more is necessary; there it lies exposed to the wind and sun, till the owner is ready 10 I carry it lo the field, and there both new and old are indiscriminately used together or if any lies over to another season, it jg n,()st probably jhat which ought to have been used first. A Somersetshire farmer has the follow ing plan —He forms his dunghill upon a small descent, having the bottom paved or we'l clayed in the front is a low wall to keep it j neat, through the bottom of which are small passages into a reservoir, formed on the out- side, for the reception of such water as might drain off; at convenient opportunities, when the surface becomes dry and crumbling, this liquor is returned back again by a labourer with a scoop, and serves to keep it in a proper temperament. At other limes, as the drain- age must occasionally be considerable, he employs it in watering his garden, or by means of a water-carriage, distributes it upon bis meadow land, still reserving the grosser sub- stance for his arable. In forming this heap, all the refuse of his garden, fern,-and other weeds cut green around Itie hedge rows,scour. ings of the yard and ditches, urine, soap lees, dead animals, and whatever else can be con- verted into manure, are regularly carried out into the yard, and placed in layers upon the dunghill, so that the next cleaning of the stable 's or cow houses may be fairly spread over it: at convenient times the whole is thoroughly well mixed together with a fork by which means the whole mass becomes e. qually fermented and fit for use. By an uni- form observance of this system of manage- ment, he is always enabled, upon a very small farm, lo make a considerable quantity of most excellent compost. Vale of Clwjid. R. P. M. -al-
THE PRINCESS OF WALES.
THE PRINCESS OF WALES. In consequence of the vote of Common Hall on Friday, the City Remembrancer waited upon the Princess of Wales at Montague House 011 Satuiday, and delivered the following note .— Guildhall, JprilS, 1813. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Livery of the City of London, in Common Hail assembled having yesterday voteil an Address to her Royal Highness the Prineess of Wales, and ordered the Sheriffs, attended by the Remembrancer, to wait on her Royal Highness lo know when she would receive the same, the Remembrancer now attends to know her Roval Highness's pleasure in respect to the lime when the Sheriff's may wait on her for this purpose." To this note her Royal Highness in a few minutes delivered the following answer in writing, in person :—. Montague House, Blackheath, dprilS, J813. Impressed with the deepest sense of grati- tude for ihe unexpected honour the Lord Mayor and the noble City of London intend to confer upon me by presenting an Address of Congratu- laiion on the happy annihilation of a conspiracy against my honour and my life, I feel myself unable to do justice to my feelings* in expressing my grateful acknowledgments for the sincere in- terests the Lord Mayor and the City of London I have evinced for my welfare and happiness. The I melancholy event Qf the Duchess of Brunswick j f my mother's demise involves me at this moment, in the deepest affliction I shall not fail, howe ver, to send on Monday next an answer to the Lord Mayor, and the Sheriffs to express more fully my sentiments on the honour intended to be conferred upon me." On Monday the Sheriffs waited on her Roy- al Highness, and received the following an- swer :— Montague House, Blackheath, JprilG, 1813. H When the Remembrancer waited upon me unexpectedly on Saturday last, to give me the first intimation of the high honour conferred upon me by the Citizens of London, in Common Hall assembled; the answer which I made will have conveyed some expression of my feelings on an occasion so iuteresting, important, and gratifying to me. I am sure 1 shall not be misunderstood, when I say, that my affliction from the recent loss of my beloved Mother, and the peculiar circum- stances of my situation in other respects, may render it difficult for me to give a due reception to the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Recorder, Sheriffs, and the Deputation of the Livery of London. I also feel diffident of giving them the trouble of a public attendance upon me. I shall be at my apartments in Kensington Palaceon Monday next, (this day) at two o'clock, for the purpose of receiving the Address."
THE COSSACK ON ''CHANGJ&.…
THE COSSACK ON ''CHANGJ&. The expected appearance of the gallant Cossack yesterday morning on the Royal Ex- change, of which public notice had been given attracted an assemblage of spectators as res- pectable and numerous as were ever collected in that quarter of the City. The Exchange was literally crammed before one o'clock, and all the avenues were completely filled. The passage through Cornhill was blocked up, and a great number of carriages from the west end of the town in vain attempted to obtain a si tuation. The Cossack, accompanied by Capt. Bach, an officer in fhe" Russian service, arrived at the Mansion-house shortly after one. They were greeted with loud and repeated acclama- tions of joy, and conducted by the Marshals to the anti chamber, where the Lord Mayor, attended by several of I he Aldermen, received them. A very handsome cold collation was prepared, of which Captain Bach and the Cos- sack partook. Mr. Grant kindly consented to be the interpreter between his Lordship and the veteran warrior. His Lordship assured the Cossack, that as Chief Magistrate of the City of London, he was proud and happy to offer his hand to so distinguished a soldier, although he was not decorated with title or rank. The answer of the Cossack was short but emphatic, He thanked the Lord Mayor, and was ready to die for the good of his Sove- reign and his country. His Lordship then took the veteran by the hand, and a hearty shake look place on both sides. Captain Bach wasin full uniform,and a jewel the reward of his valour, in the battle of Bo. rodino, was pendant from his neck. The name of the Cossack is Alexander Wittis- chenst. He is in his fifty-fourth year, and had been allowed to retire from the service nearly fifteen years, with a pension, the reward of his courage and good conduct. When he heard of the invasion of his country by the French, heqriitied his retirement, and volun- tarily enrolled himselr and his two sons in de- fence of native independence. He was dressed in the plain Cossack costume, with a large pistolstuck on his left side, in a belt; a mus- ket slung behind him, and a pike shod with sharp iron upwards ot ten feet long. To a question put to him hy Mr. Grant, at the desire of several GÜllllemcn, whether he had killed any of the enemy, he answered with great modesty, Three officers, besides the fry." At one the Lord Mayor proceeded from the Mansion House to the Royal Ex- change, in the following order :-Marsl)aliiieii clearing the way, the Don Cossack, supported by the two City Marshals, Captain Bach be- tween the Lord Mayor and Sir Charles Flower, attended by a considerable number of Mar- shaimen. The rush into the Exchange wasfir- resistible, and a very narrow lane was formed with great difficulty, through which they pro- ceeded up to Lloyd's, and placed themselves in the gallery on the west side, where the Cossack could be distinctly seen from every part. The huzzas were cordial and repeated. Silence being at length obtained, the Lord Mayor said that he was desired by the Noble Warrior and the Don Cossack to return their best acknowledgments for the gratifying re- ception they had experienced. He then pro- posed a salute of three times three to the gal- lant visitors, and his Lordship giving the word, it was complied with by acclamations as cheerful and loud as were ever heard in that place. His Lordship then said, that he was requested by Captain Bach to propose three times three to Lord Wellington, which was as zealously adopted. Old England was also given, with three times three. The Lord Mayor, by the desire of the Don Cossack, communicated through the Interpreter, as- sured the meeting that he should always con. tinue faithful to his country and his Sovereign, and that he had trained up his two sons, who were ready to die for the good cause. His Lordship added, that the Cossack had, with the instrument then in his hand, killed thirtv- nine men, and three Officers. An universal burst of acclamation succeeded, and the g;al lant visitors withdrew. The Cossack visited Mr. Ackennann's, in the S rand, on Thursday morning, where he stood for his portrait. Three Artists were employed in taking three different views of him, a front, a back, and a side. His sword bears evident marks of long service, having lost the guard, and the scabbard is so much worn, that the blade is in several places visi ble through it. Mr. Ackermauu noticing its defective slate, said he would have ha?f a dozen sabres to-morrow, of which he would be happy to present him with one. A great number of Gentlemen were admitted to see this interesting Foreigner, and the street in front of the house, was blocked up with a crowd of people, in expectation of seeing him on his coming out.

An ewe, the property of Mr. Coe, gardener, of Hanley Castle, Worcestershire, has yeaned five healthy lambs It is somewhat remark- able, that the same ewe yeaned last year three lambs, and the year before two. Agricultural Report for March.—The mild weather through nearly the whole of hst month has favoured the seasonable avocations of the farmer. The spring sowing is in a more forward state than could have been ex- pected, from the heavy rains that had fallen in the precediiim months. The lenacious snils have worked kindly, except those that were rendered adhesive by the feet of animals, in the consumption of winter crops; these re- quire much labour, and for them some frost would be acceptable. The young wheats con- tinue to increase in the promising appearance of a prolifie tillow the late congenial weather has given the flag the most healthful colour and the iafe sown crops of the winter kind, have recovered from the effects of a supera- bundant moisture. Thespring- sown are break- ing forth in the most healthful state, and pro- mise. from the great breadths that have been sown, to add considerably to the future stock of this indispensible article. The barley sow- ing is in a forward state, and the early sown peas are putting forth the infant plants with- out having received much injury from the slug. Rye, tares, lucern, saiutfoin, clover, and all the soiling species, are in the most forward and luxuriant state. Amongst the paintings at St. Peter's in Rome, are rare pieces of sculpture. But the most extraordinary object, is a brazen image of St. Peter iu a sitting attitude, being an idol of general veneration. The Pope worships it every day between twelve and or ft"'clock he enters the church, attended Ly several officers of his household, and having crossed himself with holy water, walks up to the statue, where in a supplicant posture he re- peats a prayer, then putting his bare head under the foot which projects over the pedes- tal, prays again to this metallic divinity this done, he kisses the toe, and departs, blessing- the people who kneel around him. One migh't be supposed to conceive that this miracle working image, was, as they pretend many others are, a celestial gift, but it is known to be ilart of the image of Jupiter Capito linus, would it had ever been so t This was the prac- tice before the overthrow and banishment of the present Pope. How wonderfully has tho almighty in his dispensation accomplished the Prophecies of St. John in the Revalations, by the overthrow of this Idolatrous Beast, and by the calamites which have been lately indicted upon the several powers on the con- tinent that were most subservient to his will. We have lived to see Papal Hierarchy over- thrown, to the utter confusion of Sceptics. Infidels and Idolaters we have witnessed all the great supporters of Papal Rome, France, Spain, Portugal and Italy, deluging each others country with blood,and they themselves the instruments of each others destruction, to the full accomplishment of the revealed word of God, as spoken by his prophets. The su- premacy of the Pope and Church of RoíllC over temporal princes is at an end, and is fallen to the ground. A Canada merchant, who had been accus- tomed to ship quantities of oil annually to the London market, finding a constant and uni- form defidcncy in the quantity landed, greatly- exceeding what could arise from commoii leakage, which his correspondents were un- able to explain, having occasion to visit Lou- don, he was resolved to see his cargo landed with his own eyes so as, if possible to deve- lope a mystery hitherto inexplirable, and by which he had regularly lost a considerable sum for several years. Determined therefore to look sharp after his properly, he was in ,lt(clidalicciilt tii(,, wliarf in aiixiolisexl)cctation of a lighter which had been laden with his oil the preceding day and which, for reasons that he could not comprehend, did not get up for many hours after the usual time. On her arrival at the wharf, the proprietor was con- founded to find the whole of his casks stowed in the lighter with the bungs downwards. Being convinced that this was the effect of de- sign, he began now to discover one of the causes, at least, of the great losses he had sus- tained he therefore attended the discharge of the lighter until the whole of the casks were removed, when he perceived a great quantity t, y of oil leaked out, and in the hold of the ves. sel, which the lightermen had the effrontorr to insist was their perquisite. The proprietor ordered casks to be brought, and filled no less than nine of them with the oil that had thus leaked out. He then ordered the cielin- of the lighter to be pulled up, and found be- tween her timbers as much as filled five casks more thus recovering from a single lighter- load of his properly, no less than fourteen casks of oil, that, but for his attendance, would have been appropriated to the use of the lighter-men whj after atteini)tlli- to rob him of so valuable a property, complained very bitterly of his ill usuage in taking it from them. These depredations are carried oil by lumpers, petty cuslom-house oilicers, water- men, lightermen, &c.
