PROMISES. To the Editor of the Sorth Wales Gazette. Sin.—I aus;ur well upoii the present PRO- MIS RS to the Chester Road-not as the Chester road, but as an accommodation to the public at large of both kingdoms—The first object to ob- tain these most desirable comforts, I consider Conway Bridge—after this. all flows in course hilt as I have mentioned PROMISES, I call to my recollection upon this road many—which like stones placed by the highway sides, remain suf- ficiently long1 in expectation to render their aid doubly expensive, and, in some instances, com- paratit/ely minatory. The first which occurs to my notice, is the short approach to St. Asaph, which has now been near seven years in a slow progressive slate, and which at this period little more than seven weeks would render complete, but this we conclude is a county job.—The next is Rhualt Hill, which every weary traveller has viewed from the fa- tiguing height the promising appearance of fu- ture ease, stiU remains in an unfinished state, but apparently a facile accomplishment. We next, under similar impressions, view the premised improvements to the aseentto Penmaen Rhos, here, we behold a level, whilst we draw short breath, in the ascent of a mountain, thus ag-ain regret either the want of energytor means of rendering comparatively a mountainous, a champagne country—more anon—for I feel it a a duty to aid your establishment, which I consi- der, in almost every point, of the greatest bene- fit North Wales ever was hlessed with. Your's truly, CAMBRIAN.

A Society has been formed, under the pa- tronage 01 the Dukeof Kent, for the adoption of m asures to remove the numerous prosti- tuUs who infest the streets of the city. Forty trim-boats are preparing at Chatham, to he sent to (he Elbe for t he defence of Ham- burgh. The workmen were employed all Sunday last, in order to complete their equip meut. In Oxfordshire, and some of the adjoining counties, the poor are laudably allowed to ultivate the sides of the road and waste land; and are thus enabled to provide themselves with vegetables, particularly that useful root, the potatoe. A county of Roscommon fox-hunter lately treating for the purchase of a fine horse, asked the owner if he refused timber ? (meaning, to lcait a five-barred -ate)-to which the latter answered, he would leap over your hcad, and what do you say to that ?" Amongst the memorabilia of the present times, must be classed that of Ann Moore, who endeavoured to get lierliviae by starving herself nearly to death An account has been received at Cuxhaven, that the Prince Sinolensko, so deservedlv ce- lebrated as General Kutusoff, is dead, "lie is succeeded in the command of the Russian ar- my by General Wittgenstein. The Prince was 80 years of age, and his health was much im paired by tiie tme&ampled fatigues of the win ler campaign in Russia. t, Sea Hathing.-When we look back on the last twelv« years, on the succession of com pauy which have frequented Abergele, for this salutary purpose—and referring to those names who have uniformly been recorded as visitors, it strikes a conviction that the ac- commodations they have received in every department seems to give a general satisfac are informed, that even so early in the season, several visitors arc arrived; and are convinced that no relaxation of exertion will take place in those interested in pleasing. The additional extensive range of stabling, will add lo the satisfaction of t ravellers. The Gazette Saturday contains a list of 35 American vessels captured under the command of Rear Admiral Cockburu also, a return of 7 American vessels, captured by the squadron under the command of Sir E. rhornborough, on the Irish station. Bonaparte has complimented, in his recent productions, the gallantry of his youthful conscripts. He indulged IIlsilllilar eonipli ments to the Lads of Paris, previous to his flight from Russia. The conscripts are so much delighted with the war, that, in the heat of action, they make the air ring with shouts of Long live the Lmperor 1 A respectable Morning Paper says, The Pope has soon evinced his subserviency to Bo- naparte, and what an engine he may he made. He recently sent his nuncio to Spain, whe: lie intermeddled uutil the Constituted Auih>- rities gave him hisdismissal. It has also been discovered that his Holiness sent secret in structious to the Spanish Bishops, to promote, oy all possible means, the re-establishment of the Inquisition." A person in Dumfrieshire has invented a double-headed plough, for tilling sleep or hilly ground. This plough does not turnrottnd, but has a rod that conducts the horses from one end of it to the other-uf course they only turn round, the ploughman having nothing to shift on the plough, all of it being made com- pletely fast. This plough will turn as much laud, and with nearly as much ease to man and horse, in the same time as the common plough on level lands. The construction is stronger, with a little more additional weight than the common plough. The furrows are across the hill. We are requested by a respectable corres- pondent to insert the following extract frum that Phalanx of close reasoning, the produc- tion of Dr. Johnson, entitled, Taxation no .Tyranny," published at the commencement of tiie late American war — If we cannot admire, we are called to pity them to pity those, that shew no regard to (heir mother country have obeyed no law which they could violate; have imparted no good which they could withhold; have entered info asaociatiofts to rob their creditors and into combinations to distress all who depended on tile it-, coiti inerc' Our comments upon this would appearin. significant—nor need our suggestions insult the discrimination of our readers, by savin* they are still the same. When the origin of the country is considered, we may mak; some allowance for the conduct of the Ainericins- originally colonized under the same circum- stances as Botany Bay—This brings to our recollection an anecdote.—The writer of this was very intimate with an American, who came to this country from Charlestown—one evening, Hushed with wine, lodging in the same house, he came into his room when he was asleep in bed, awoke him, observing he had news to tell him, "that America had de clared war against England-that they would shew us a new doctrine, by taking our West India islands from us, and never return them." u No new doctrine," replied he," but the d-d old doctrine your forefathers weretrans- ported for." "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil."—JER, -Jf "I By a letter from Denbigh we are informed. that the inhabitants of that town, wishing to show some testimony of their respect, and grateful approbation of his conduct, during ins long residence among them, to the Rev. Koger Butler Clougb, of Castle House, Dell h gli, previously to his removal to his recently purchased Mansion of B",h¡\faf" P;nk:near Ruthin, invited him and Ins nearest hflatives to a dinner, at the Crown Inn, Denbigh, o.i the 13tli inst.

Woods, of which a very numerous and res ectahle company, consisting of the prm • cip w inhabitants oJ she town and its immedi- ate > icini! y partook. John Heaton, Esq of Plnsuewydd, was in the Chair, which he filled with his usual propriety, In proposing the health of their Reverend Guest, he delineated with great feeling—the excellencies of his character; his highly exemplary conduct, as a Clergyman his promptness, discretion, and in'egniVj as a Magistrate —his charity to the poor-lils willingness at all times, to assist his iieignbou's with his advice, and co-operation and his ze:d as a Genllemall of fortune, III promoting every plan of I)tit)[ic utility.- There was aJso a very respectable and mime rous company at the Swan Inn, where all ex cedent dinner was provided by Mr. Fennah and the evening was spent in both houses with great comfort and harmony. Our correspon- I dent adds, it is highly creditable to the uitia bit.ants of Denbigh, that, after a very sharply contested election, which is always productive of temporary irritation, thesamegood humour and exemption from bickerings and strife should bepxhibited in their pubiic meetings, which have always endeared the lilacc, to the stranger and traveller. Forged Notes —It may not perhaps be ge- nerally known that it is a capital offence to re issue a forged bank-note, knowing it to he so A circumstance has lately taken place in the neighbourhood of Salisbury, by which a respectable tradesman has 'subjected himself to a very unpleasant investigation of his con- duct on the part of the governors of the bank of England. We have given the above in formation as a caution to some people, who imagine they have a right to re-issue a forged note, because they have themselves given va- lue for it.—Salisbury Paper. At the last Pontefract Sessions, there were, we understand, not fewer than ninety parish appeals for the decision of the Court. The number of these appeals, and the expence attendant upon them, is an evil that calls loudly for some remedy. It is estimated, we know not how correctly, that one foiii-ili of the money collected from the public for the support of the poor, is expended in suits at laW and it is no uncommon thing for tw.. litigious parishes to expend as much money in a settlement case, as wtnild have supported the I)-,itil)er & ltis family all the days of their lives. Five persons were detained last week at Dolgelley, by R. W Price, Esq. and the Rev. Richard Hughes, Magistrates for the County of Merioneth, upon strong suspicion of horse- Stealing; they refused to -,ive any satisfactory account of themselves, and behaved in a very insolent manner. They had in their posses- sion tour horses described as follows :—one brown poney, one tall brown mare, one bay I gelding about 14 hands high, one very hand- some small bay mare shewing much blood. infamous Assault.—On Monday, the Ad- journed Sessions were held at Newington, when R. Williams, an <ipol.hecar1y,esidiii"" 1 all c near Stockwell, was indicted for an,tssau It 011 Mrs. Stone, the wife of ——— Hone, Esq. a Magistrate s>f the county, under the following circumstances He was attending a jady of the name of Dubois, a relation to th<? prose ctitrix, wlio was lyillfl, very ill. S. lvilq there on a visit, and the defendant (iii rctirill, from the apartment of Mrs. Dubois, was foi lowed by Mrs. Stone, to enquire the state of Mrs, f). when he (Williams) seized afd con- fined her hands, and pushing her head back in «ucli a manner as almost strangled her, thrusi his tongue into her mouth, in which position lie kept her m long as he thought proper.— Mrs. Stone, on returning lo Mrs. Dubois room fainted, and being pregnant, sometime after miscarried. This constituted the-assauh, and the detendant was found guith/.—The, Chairman pronounced the judgment or tli,. Court, which was, tbat the defendant should pay a line of SOI.; and observed, that on ac- count of his situation in life, and for the salu of his family, the Court waved a sentence oi imprisonment, although they were of opinion that he merited it.—Williams was Deacon ol a Dissenting Meeting. We have frequently urged the policy of planting Potatoes, and called on the humauitv of landed proprietors to aid their poorer neigh, hours by atrording them small portion* oi ground for their use. Supposing lhe culliva tion to be pretty general, we beg: to reoui mend the practice of pulling away the bios soms, whereby the crop is considerably in creased. In the Agricultural Report of Ren- frewshire, we find the following account :— 1. Mr. Wilson, at. Deanside, near Renfrew, pro- secuted an experiment on the effeet of pulling the flowers or.blossoms from the Potatoe, witit great care and attention, in fields of two acres, each year, by taking alternate portions of equaol area in the, same field putting the blossoms from some of these divisions, and leaving others to ripen the seed attending in theantunui, when I h( Potatoes weie taken up, and measuring the produce with great care, he uniformly found the quantity increased tO or 15 per cent. where the blossoms were taken off, hesides there being very few small Potatoes in the field. lie also found the quality much improved, in consequence 01 the crop ripening sooner than usual, and there- fore not affected by the frosts, which often set in so early that the growth of the Potatoe is com- pletely checked before it arrives at maturity he has continued the practice for the last five or six years, on fields of from four to nine acres, and considers the experiment worth prosecuting io any extent: the expeuce about 3s. per acre, and done by children from 10 to 12 years ot age." In addition to the above, we give the fol- lowing confirmatory remarks of Mr. T. A Kuight, extracted from the Horticulturl So- ciety's Transactions, Vol. I page 190 I imagine that the expenditure of sap in the production of fruit statks and blossoms alone, in Potatoes, would be sufficient to occasion an ad- dition of at least an ounce to the weight of the tubers of eacn plant; and if each square yard were to contain eight plants, the increased pro- dude of an acre would considerably exceed a ton, and of course be sufficient in al meat Mil to pay the rent of an experiment. Mr. Gambler (brother to Admiral Lord Gambler,) who died on Tuesday I ts io Lo^ei Berkeley-s! reel, leaving a w inow and ioiirteei chlldrell, enjoyed much of the esteem and friendship of that great and excellent man, the laie .Mr. Perceval it is somewhat remark- able That he should have expired, almost sod- daSy, on the very first aniu ■. fi-sarv of Mr Percv'val's detestable assassinat o Mr, Gam- nter was a conscientious and iaohlul servant of fhe public, having been, for 16 years, one "i the most active and efficient Members of the Navy Board indeed, the assiduity with which he unremittingly fulfilled his official duties, there is reason to helieve, accelerated his dissolution in no inconsiderable degree. In private life Mr. Gambler was characterised as a most affectionate husband and parent, and a most zealous and invaluable friend, so thai few men lived more respected, or died more regretted.

THE GREAT BATTLE. VICTORY CLAIMED BY THE PRUSSIANS ON THE SECOND The receipt of the French account of the late bailies was speedily followed by the arri- val of ad vices from off Ctixliaveu, ofHaiubiirjj Papers to the 9th, and of Letters from Heli- goland to i he 11th. Theydrawa very diffe rent picture indeed from thatexlitbiled in the French Papers. Capt. M Kenlie, of his Majesty's ship Cal- liope, offCuxhaven, May 9, writes, that by the Hamburgh Mail, which arrived this mi nute, he had received the agreeable and im- portant intelligence of a great batlle having "been fought on the 2d inst. between Lutzen and Pegau. The Prussians alone were engag- ed, and the respective armies were command -ed by the King of Prussia and Buonaparte in person. The latter lost two Marshals, and the Prussians have to regret the loss of Prince D'Strelilz, but remained masters of the field of battle. General Hunesbein losi an arm. and •f\'S»era!s Scharohorsl and Blucher were likewise wounded. The Prussiaucavafrv was not at all engaged in consequence of the great number of artillery which the enemy had in the field. A corps of600 men, which the French at- tempted 10 throw into Leipzic, have been cut offand will be obliged lo surrender. On the same day, (lie 2d, the Viceroy of Italy was defeated near Halle, by Gen. Bulow, wilh the loss of three pieces of cannon, and a great number of ammunition waggons, and 1500 men killed, and 600 prisoners. This important event will not fail to pro- tliicea favldlrahl" eflld in this neighbourhood, and may perhaps oblige the enemy to retreat from Cuxhaven, which they have occupied. The Hamburgh Papers contain accounts from Berlin to the 6th, all claiming a victory on the part of the Prussians on the second. and all at variance with the French accounts. The former st:Ic in the most positive manner that the great battle of the 2d. between Lutzen and Pegau, lasted from 10 in thenlOrnill till midnight; that the King of Prussia, command- ed the Prussians in person and that scarcely any but Prussians were engaged. i that th remained masters of the field of battle, and fired feu dejoye for having gained ti)e victo ry that on the same day Ueauhainois was attacked and defeated at Halle, by the Prus sian General Bulow, with the loss of 1,500 men killed, and 600 made prisoners, 3 pieces c),far(ii'.Icry, aiid a 1111 In her of powder waggons. Yet. the French accounts state, that Beauhar- no is was on the Eister on the 2d. The intel- ligence from Berlin ndils, Naumberg, Lutzen, and VVeissenfeis were set on fire in tlu bustle Uial early in the morning the Fruit h had pushed a reconnoitring party to A-tipsic, which, being cut off, must surrender. A Plymouth Letter announces llaearrival of an American, prize, Tihe Revenge, from Charlestown, which has brought Charlestown 1Japers of a late date, stating that reports were r, afloat there that the British squadron otr the Capes of Virginia, had with Congreve's rockets burnt the town of Norfolk, except 13 houses, a « li,e warehouses, the Constellation 44, several gun-boats, and two frigates on the stocks.

TO THE EDITOR. SIR, ——— IN perusing a recent publication, called the Calamities of Authors," I was struck with the melancholy fate of the author and com- poser of our national II ymn 1, God save the Killg-" To this son the nation is indebted, under the blessings of divine providence, for that continuing and ardent spirit of loyalty which still predominates ill this happy coun- try. I have therefore sent you the following, for-insertion. S. HENRY CA REY was the Author, both of the words and Hie music of our national Hymn, God Save lhe liing lie also wrote and com posed several popular ballads, as Sally in our Tlley &c. He was likewise very successful on the st ige, and wrote admirable burlesques of the Italian Opera, in The Drag-oil cd VVantley," and The Drngoness and the mock tragedy of Chrononholouthologos, is not forgotten. Among his poems, lie still concealed several original pieces; those which have a political turn are particularly good for the politics of Carey were those of a Pot" and a Patriot, To the ballad of Sally in our Alley," Carey has prefixed an argument, so full of nature, that the song may herealies derive au additional interest from its simpk origin. The author assnres the rcader, lha: the popular notion that the subject of Ills ballad had been the noted Sally Salisbury, is perfectly erroneous, he being a stranger I" her name at Lilt: time the son was composed. As innocence and virtue were ever the boun- daries of his Muse, so in this little poem he had no other view than 10 seL forI II the beaut v of a chaste and disinterested passion, even in the lowest class of human life. The real oc casiou was this a shoemaker's apprentice, making holiday with his sweelhearr, treated her with a sight of Bedlam, the puppet-shews, the tlJing chairs, and all the elegancies of Moorlields from whence, proceeding to the Farthing Pye house, he gave her a collation of buns, cheesecakes, gammon ot bacon, stuff ed beef, and bottled Ile through all which scenes the Author dodged them (charmed with the simplicity of their courtship) from whence he drew this little sketch of nature bill, he- ing then young "arid obscure, he yvas very much ridiculed for this performance which, never theless, made its way into the polite world, aud amply recompcnsed him by the applause of the divine Addison, who was pleased (mon than once) to mention it with approbation Poor Carey, the delight of the Muses, and delighting with ih« Muses, experienced all their trials and all their treacheries. At the time that this Poet could neither walk tb<- streets, nor be seated at the convivial board, without listening to his own songs and his ow music—for in tmih, the whole nation was echoing hi" ver-e, and crowded theatres were clapping to his Wit and iiiiiiiour-wiiile iiii very man hims--lf urged by his strong huma niljr, had founded a Fund for decayed Mo sicians,"—at this moment was poor Care himself so broken-hearted, and hs own com mon comforts so utterly neglected, that, i. dsepair. not waiting foruature to relieve him from the burthen of existence, he laid violem lands on himself; and when found dead, ha only a haii penny iu his pocket I Such'w, liiefateof the author of some of the mos: popuUi pieces 111 our ia ^gu i^e He lefl son, who inherited his misery, and a gleam ol his geuius.
