I To the Editor.J
To the Editor. J Sirt,So perfectly do the sentiments of a cer- tain letter which appeared in your last, accord with mine own, respecting the birthright of Welch. men, that I earnestly request you will allow it to appear again in your paper of this week. A WELCH CLERGYMAN. A letter was handed about some time since, expressive of the disapprobation of its author, as to the bestowing Welch preferments upon persons not born in the Principality of Wales. This paper has not passed unobserved, but has called forth the attention of an able writer, who (without meeting immediately the point in question) conceiving it to contain an attack poinledly at the late venerable Bishop of St. Asaph, has treated the subject according. r' ly,-Be who has seen that letter, and who loves truth, and respects virtue, mustthank the author. I have no intention of entering into a la- boured refutation of the posiHons contained in the circulated printed paper in question but desire only to make a remark upon one expression contained in it, which is this, 11 that the nominating Englishmen to IVelch pre ferments. deprives the fVeich Clergy of that which they consider as their Birthright," (or words to that effect). Surely, Sir, this is most unfortunate grtpiid on which to assert a claim in favour of thenativesof Wales; unfortunate as It is weak in itself, and most injurious to them whose cause it is meant to advocate.— iheir Birthii&ht f What can no stronger claim he alledged ? What, has our author nothing to plead for his brethren on the score of talent, learning," zeal," or moral coitdticl Y" Is the writer too modest to alledge b such <|ua!ificuiions as existing claims for pro- vision, or does he mean to say lhat none suth exist ? To him 1 leave the determination of these questions, and thliS atrord him an oppor- tunely of making his peace with those, who by implication he has so grossly calumniated, 44 But the claim is in itself weak in the ex- treme, and weak it is, because it is ÙJadmissa- ble on the fairest deductions of analogy; weak, because it would not be allowed by the writer himself in aca.se where his own interest was involved. The proof is as short as convincin--it the Welch preferments be the Birthright" of Welchmeu, (nejd I supply the conclusion ?) the English preferments must be the Birth- right" of Englishmen. But has the Welch native adopted this conclusion iu his practice ? No, assuredly no, may not then the attack re- coil upon its author ? H 7 mutato nomine, de le Fabula narratur." U Few, very few in number, are the Saxons who have ventured to enter this land, with the humble hope of supplying some of those sta. tions left vacant by their British brethen, who having deserted their native soil, and sold thtir birthright," are gone to seek some beller provision in that land where merit," not birth" is the best claim to reward and dis. tinction. Among the number thus removed, I count (from the best documents in my pos- session) more than 20 Davtes's, 8 Edwards's 6 Evans's, 5 Griffiths's 9 Hughes's, 22 Jones's, 11 Lloyds, 2 Mansel's, 12 Morgan's 8 Owen's, 8 Prichard's, 11 Price's; 5 Parry's, 10 Ri chaids's, 15 Roberts's, and Williams's not a few; among which I find, on the most mode- rate calculation, I Bishop,7Prehcndaric!i, 2 Masters of Colleges, 19 Fellows of CoilegeSj 61 Rectors, and 21 Vicars, mnking a total of nearly 120 persons who have possessed them- selves of that which the English are taught to consider as their birthrightAnd what de- scription of men are these ? surely I shall be pardoned if I express myself somewhat warm. iy They are men who ornament the situa- tions which they fill, and adorn the Societies to which they belong and long may they wear thehollollrs they have won, and adorn the Society in which they move.—" Non sine pulvere palma," they have patiently run the race, and are arrived at the goal. They have borne the heat and burden of the day," and now do they taste of the fruit of the Vineyard. And who is there who would illi. berally grudge them the palm they have won, or the fruit they have earned ? who would not rather hail with. gratitude, an accession of talent, learning and piety, diffused by their means, in every corner of this blessed Isle 1- Cease then, cease for ever all inviduous dis- tinctions amongst men, bound up together in one common union of interests; who alike possessing the best King, the purest Church, and the most equal Government in the world, must, can acknowledge no birthright but that of Euglishmca.—Your's, &c. «' A SAXON.
ILETTER OF THE LATE FRENCH…
I LETTER OF THE LATE FRENCH MINIS TERS TO THE KING, Explaining the rnoti ves for their retiring. SIRE,—Your Majesty deigned to confide in Us the administration of your Empire, when the I Us the administration of your Empire, when the whole of Europe in arms occupied the Northern Provinces, when they menaced those of the East and the South, and when civil war was kindled and diffused over the West. A triumphant fac- tion which was restrained, but not discouraged portions of the population who had become in- { different from the excess of their fears or their j "S' <y evmus wnicn mignc ensue; equally ready to support alternately the tyranny of the faction and the yoke of foreign arms, until some greater misfortunes should at leng-th unite them against their oppressors; such has been the situation of the kingdom since your Majesty's return. The love of our country was no longer to he found, but, under the tri-coloured fla- The party which called themselves Royalists, proscribed, in their projects both the laws and the men who did not encourage the subversion of social order. Were France buried, beneath her own ruins, and your Majesty reigned only over desert provinces, this party would prefer the destruction of the glory, the strength, and the political existence of France, to seeing hcr con- soled for her misfortunes, and regaining her losses under the wise and liberal laws vouchsafed by your Majesty. This party became hostile in the West, in the South, and in the North, be- cause it believed itself supported by authority.— Good citizens waited, in silence, to hear the voice of your Majesty. At present they are preparing their arms in Auvergne, in the Ce- vennes, in the Vosges, in Franc Ire Comte, and in Alsace. You cannot, Sire, be ignorant what was our devotion to your sacred person we had par- taken of your dangers, your misfortunes, and your exile; we know the wishes and the wants of the F rench people we expressed them to your Majesty with a respectful candour. Vou seemed to listen to us; and now that wearequitiingyotir councils, we hope that you will permit us to recai them to your recollection. Snccessiverevolutions have changed the conditions of families, have overthrown the fortunes they had amassed, have closed op the paths they had opened, have tar- nished the national glory which they had exalted but those revolutions have also taught the people that there is no happiness for them except under a fixed and steady Government, because that will replace the conditions of families iii a state of harmony with existing manners, because it will consolidate existing fortunes, because it will per- mit the citizens to go on in that careet, which they have begun, and because it willestablish the national honour on the principles of unalterable justice; results of the utmost importance to the nation, because it will place individuals in that relative condition which the state of society re- quires. If we could have given this direction to your Majesty's Government, Frenchmen would have been united in heart and in conduct with (lie wishes of the King; their interests would have been confounded with the glory, the love, and the saftty of the Prince. Thoss desires and ihose l;uia(ical passions which would have disturbed an order of things so auspicious to the general good, would gradually have died away, or have been lost in the emptiness of an ineffectual opposition. Your subjects would have submitted to your laws whatever their opinions might have been, or their former condition. The Repllblican or thc Impe- rial party is no longer to be feared: the mass of the nation wish only for liberty and tranquillity. Foreign Cabinets, in seeing Frcnchmen rallied round your throne, would lYive limiied preten- sion, which then you might have withstood.— The Constitution having rendered us responsible for the acis of your authority, we proposed to legiiiaie it by those principles which we have here uulolded. We soon had to struggle with the ignorance, the passions, and thehntredof the persons who surrounded yon they soon hegan to intermeddle with the Government. Orders were given, and measures adopted, in which we did not participate. Royal Commissaries went and kin- dled civil war in the provinces, gave the arms to the seditious; directed their ferocity against y peaceful citizens, and spread around terror and dismay! They easily succeeded in this when they announced that foreigners were their auxiliaries, when they profaned the name of your Majesty, by invoking it in their addresses, and when in the South, which foreigners did not yet occupy, they permitted the entiance of eighty thousand Spaniards. A Marshal of FranceAvas murdered on the bank of the Rhone, and his assassins were neiiher apprehended nor punished! What is it by oppression that the people were to be inspired with a love for your Government ? Outrage soon extended itself in some cities colours were displayed which were not those of your Majesty. Frenchmen themselves wished to dismember your kingdom, alHI separate the north from the South Your Majesty became, sensible that it was neces- sary to recal to their submission the blind parti- sans of a cause whose legitimacy was acknow- ledged Our orders were not listened to: magis- rt 'ier'f trates whom we sent in your name were sacrificed, by those who acted in the name of the King we remained without power; secret instructions ren- dered all our etForts aud intentions iiiiavailing.- In such circumstances, what could your Majesty 's Ministers io ? The nuke of Otranto, when Na- poleon still reigned, had succeeded, by negocia- tion, in disarming La Vendee. Your Majesty was scarcely scatcclon the throne when the in- surrection broke out in the same La Vendee with more violence than ever. What could be its ob- ject after your restoration? Your Minisler at War declared that he had no troops with which to subdue these provinces it was not the inten- tion of your Court that this insurrection should be opposed. We cannot conceal from you, Sire, that these attacks are levelled at your throne; you suffer legitimate authority to be despised, and the authority of faction supplies its place.— Factions produce revolutions, and those who triumph to-day, may be overthrown to-morrow; your throne will no longer have even the su-p- poitof their illegitimate authority. Your Mi- nisters, always devoted to your person, stiij en- deavoured to oppose this reaction the Princes of your houses the Nobles of your Court, desig- nated as crimes, and as attacks upon your Crown, their efforts to restore order and submission to the laws; we lost all influence with your Ma- jesty we became guilty in the eyes of the nation. The elections were made a factious minority di- rected them that minority alone is represented. The choice which they recommend to your Ma- jesty for the Chamber of Peers indicates the same spirit. Ministers, without authority, a prey to the persecutions of the Court, without support in the public opinion, exposed to the opposition of the Chambers, what should we be able to reply to the clamours of the people, when at length they shall demand the reason for so many calamities. Meanwhile, foreigners possess Erance as a conquered cauntry; to civil discord they add the ravage of provinces; they dissipate the fuiir's which ought to tind their way illto tile treasury they (I-evovi- the provisions of the people, who are threatened with an approaching famin they carry off the magazines of arms* the ammunition of war and the caiiitous fFOnI the raiiiparts of our cities. The white flag floats only over ruins! They despoil us of our public monuments, the tokens of our former glory they seize the monuments of Art, which alone remain to us after twenty years of conquest. It is dishonour, Sire, which the peo- ple are most reluctant to pardon, and yonr Ma- jesty has remained silent in the midst of all these attacks on the national tiotobr We were for a long time ignorant, that secret treason had con- nected you with foreigners—your Majesty wish- ed to negociate yourself-we could not prevent the disbatjdment of the army, and this measure being completed, left France and your person in the power of foreigners. What had your House to fear from that army? Napoleon no longer existed for France. The national colours graht- ed, and some concessions made to public opinion, that army would have become yours—it would have served you to resist the ambitious projects of your allies. Was every thing to to be aban- doned to the combinations and the seductions of your Court and of foreign Princes ? Your Court is led astray by prejudices; the foreign Sove- reigns have interests opposed to y;)urs. The Emperor of Russia was perhaps the only one whom you could believe sincere in his promises. The Allies at this moment oppose the recruiting I of the departmental legions. Such are the mis- fortunes cf the situation in which unwise Coun- cils have placed your Majesty. Your subjects are almost every where in opposition or in arms against each other, and almost every where the partizans of your House arc the smallet number. The trench, humiliated and discontented, are ready to proceed to the last extremity. Your Majesty has no longer the means of opposing the pretensions of foreigners. They have presented a Treaty which would consummate the ruin of the iiallioi), and which would cover it with eternal shame. We have not thought it became us to give all assent which would have rendered us cut. pable towards that nation, which may be humi- Jiaced., but Which cannot he beat down. Since your Majesty has confided authority to our hands, we have constantly been without the power of doing good, without the power of preventing evil. Our opinions have no influence the cahals of your Court have prevailed. We have to obey, through respect to your Majesty, and to sanction by our signature, acts which we disapprove. We would have tacrificed our lives to save your Ma- jesty and the Country, but those who are near your Majesty know that the revolution which they would excite, would surround the vessel of the state, with new perils that they would give to factions, to whom you are oppesed, the means of seeing a resting place beJond the legitimate authority of your Majesty; that they would raise pretenders to the throne where you are stated It is not by means of a faction thst your Majesty ought to reign, but by a constitution, by a royal perogative, recognised and established.' Let that faction tremble and suspend their efforts to sub- stitute passion in their place. Their agents would be the first vicrims, and they would cause the greatest misfortunes to your Majesty. We arc therefore convinced that we can no longer contribute to the welfare of your subjects, that we cannot govern the slate in the spirit of the Councils which direct your Majesty. Your wis- dom will doubtless do more than our zeal and our efforts to remedy the evils which amict the State; we therefore venture to supplicate you to believe in the regrets that we experience, in not being able any longer to contribute to serve you, and in the wishes that we have formed for the prosperity of your House, and for the safety of the country."

THE DUCHESS D'ANGOULEME AND FOUCHE. It gives us great satisfaction to relate the following anecdote, which the reader may rely on as a factWhen Fouche was to be married to Mademoiselle de Caslellane, lie waited on the King, requesting his Majesty to be a wit- ness to the contract of marriage, which re- quest was complied with. Fouche then re paired to the Duchess d' Angoult:me for tho same purpose. The Duchess sent word that she was engaged. At ltiat (iioiiieiit one of her Chamberlains was going to cnier her apart. ment; Fouche requested him to tell Use Duch- ess that bis Majesty having been pleased to witness his contract of marriage, he hoped the Duchess would condescend to do the samc,- The Chamberlain took the message, and soon aftttr returned with the following answer from the Duchess:—" M. le Due d'Olrante knows that I have no share in the Government, coiu sequently my witnessing his contract of mar. riatTe can be of no use to him; but as a pri- vate individual I cannot forget what he ought also to recollect-that allt the Daughter of Loris Xi"l.(Ft-om the Antigallican Mo- nitor.)
THR LATE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK.
THR LATE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK. IVolfenbultel, Sept. 25.—The Chamberlain, Mr. Von Bulow. who has been to England, to present to the Prince Regent the last will and testament of the late Duke, is now returned to Brunswick, bringing the most gracious as- surances from his Royal Highness, who, as we hear, has named the Count of Schulenbum* his representative for the administration of the country during the minority. The Count is t, y also President of the Assembly of the Stales in Hanover. Search is making at Paris for all the manuscripts taken by the French from our Library, as well as for all the works of art that have been carried thither. The march of Prussian troops to Paris still continues; but very lately 9000 men, from Silesia, marched through this neighbourhood. It is indeed true, in more points of view than one, that the chief article of exportation from Germany, at this moment, is men, and it is much to be de- sired that it may Jose nothing of its goodness in passing through France. The memory of 0 y the late Duke is honoured in various ways— the women wear gold medals of him round their necks; his bust, of bronze, is in the priucipalapartmeuts,and biographical sketches of his life lie upon every work-lable. | We are concerned to state that the Fame Parent, one of the Jamaica fleet, which put into Halifax with damage, is arrived off Do. ver, and that she sailed from that place on the 15th ult. at which time no account had been ) received there of the remaiiufig eight miuillg vesseli-
