=, 'w'" :1:7'7': r-=-=r'="o. .)C"TO THE NATIVES OF WALES. To the Editou of the Nauru !1'Jles Gazette, SIll, ——- May rose and leek together grow, And never seeds of discord sow. Cambrians, I address you as a friend, as your conntnman-I crave your attention upon a sub- ject, which is, to you, of the greatest importance. You who possess lauded property in Wales, which may have been in families for centuries, and gained, perhaps, by much bloodshed and has been. enjoyed by your noble ancestors, and now by yourselves with that freedom and liberty so marked in our government—that; freedom by which yuu can call your properties truly your own unlimited in executing your wishes, and in power upon it unrivalled—free to think, and ac- cordingly to act—This is the present happy state of things. Would you then. my countrymen, have your freedom limited—would you tamely submit to having your lands encroached upon by strangers, your property carried away before your faces, and your private lallds al ways liable to be made public thoroughfares, without earnestly appealing to Government to withdraw what has been project- ed—the cause of our discontent ? I doubt not, that all true Cambrians, who re- gard the welfare of their small but happy nation, have noticed with just indignation (in a late num- ber of this paper), the aspiring pretensions of the Royal Cambrian Company, as to the rights of the crown, to all the mines and minerals, under all Estates in Wales, and their alledged power of en- croaching on any lands whatever, if the company thinks proper. Thus, Cambrians, you would be limited in the free enjoyment of your private pro- perties lose the liberty enjoyed by your im- mediate neighbours, and have the mortification of seeing many a favourite spot torn up for the emo- lument of strangers. This company having obtained such unlimited power from Government, will, it is not to be doubted, act for its own advantage therefore where mines or quarries may he established, the land must be demolished for its convenience if a plantation or park lies in the way, part of these also must be destroyed and rendered a con- stant thoroughfare to the infinite loss of the owner as it cannot be supposed the company will be atany addititional expence, when it has the power of forming its roads in any direction what- ever. Thns you, my countrymen, will lose part of your lands, and perhaps have large sums of money to pay the company for sparing your very gardens, and not undermining your houses I-These are not the only calamities which must result from it; for how many there are who make re- spectable livelihoods by mining, who are natives, and spend their gains entirely in their own coun- try and if they lose the power of working the mines, how many families will be involved in misery 1-whereas but little of what the company gain, will be spent upon the spot. Upon the whole, I think that some active measures should speedily be adopted, and an appeal made to Go- vernment (if the company should execute the de- sign) to limit its power in no small degree, as we do not understand why private property in Wales should be subject to so much more devastation than that of our immediate neighbours; and we may be assured the justice of tha British constitu- tion will not suffer it to be overlooked, when pro- perly represeiited.-t trust these few hints (in ad- dition to the excellent ones of an ancient Briton) will be sufficient for my countrymen, and thai they will employ their natural good talents and bold- ness of spirit for their own welfare, with the least possible delay.

CORN LAWS. Sit- John Sinclair to the Proprietors and Fanner» of Great Britain and Ireland. There can be no doubt that it will be seriously attempted, in the course of this session of Parlia- ment,to introduce alterations into our present system of corn laws, highly unfavourable to the agricultural interests. The greatest exertions have been made, by speculators in foreign grain, to procure petitions to Parliament, calling for such alterations; and nothing is wanting, to jus- tify their expectations of success in their plans, but apathy on the part of those who are to be sufferers by their adoption. I trust, however, that in this respect they will be disappointed, for we have so recenty experienced the miseries re- sulting from a state of depression, that none can fail to bejroused at the dismal prospect of their ro- currence. Act then with energy and, lest the measures in contemplation, should receive the sanc- tion of the Commons, send petitions to both Houses. Be assured, that the safety of your pro- perty, and the future welfare, not only of your- selves and your families, but of your country, are at stake. If an enemy had landed upon your eoast, you would have readily assembled to have driven him out;—and will you hesitate now to meet, to repel the attacks of more dangerous foes, who under the pretence of "freedom of trade," wish to de- prive you of that protection, to which. as the fixed and permanent supports of the state, you are so justly entitled? Permit me to ask, what are the certain consequences that wonld result from their anticipated success? In order that a few speculators in foreign grain may rise to affluence, shall your labours and industry go un- rewarded, and the nation at large, become de- pendent on their exertions for providing it with food, instead of relying on those of SBVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND FARMERS," on whom that care now devolves ? As an old and determined supporter of your cause, I earnestly entreat you, not to he indifferent and supine at this alarming crisis and trusting that by united exertions, we may still escape the danger which now threatens us, I ever ain, your faithful friend and servant, JOHN SINCLAIR. 133, George Street, Edinburgh. April 2.1. 18-25. N.B.—I beg to subjoin some extracts from a defence of the landed and farming interests, in which I have endeavoured to point out, not only the ruinous effects which would result from the proposed alterations in our present system of corn laws, but also the important changes to which it would lead, in the frame of our government. EXTRACTS FROI THE DAFENCK OF SHE LANDED AND FARMING INTERESTS." Protecting Averages indispensable for the safety of tha British farmer. The only rule by which agrieuliure. can be adequately protected is this:—"That foreign grain shall not, at any time, or under any cir- cumstances, be admitted for sale in any part of his Majesty's European dominions, under the price which the Legislature shall deem to be a reasonable standard of remuneration to the British I farmer." Without such protection, no country bnrdened with a load of taxes, c;rn stand a com- petition with poor nations, nearly untaxed, who I live scantily on homely fare, whose rents are paid in produce, and whose cattle or horses, em- ployed in labour, cost but a trifle, and are cheaply maintained. The plan of exclusion, therefore, until symptoms of scarcity appear, is essential; and no encouragement ought to be given to the culture of foreign countries, with British capital, neecssity, '_r' Objections thai have been made to the average system are eniirelv founded 011 defeotsin trie law, and which can easily he remedied. No corn re- tiii-ii to be. of I-eiii sales between the growers of corn and their accredited agents on the one part, and licensed dealers 011 the other. All fa I so returns ought, to be severely punished," and the privilege of sending returns ought to be restricted to the tWeh e greatest mar- kets in the United Kingdom. Under these re- gulations, the fluctuations so much complained of would be efi'ectallv prevented. On I If danger of trail in?) the sv.Ssistence fit' it po- pulous country, to the speculations t>J a few den- ies in corn, ■tvhetker foreign or domestic. The subsistence of the people ol Great Britain and Ireland, at present depends upon a nu- merous body of nor less than sevClt handretl thousandJhrmprs,* dispersed over the whole country, who have no m»ans of combination, and who ill, tlit- produce of their industry^ to market, to pay their rents axid taxes, it the im- portation of foreign grain is encouraged, the peo- ple at large must depend on a few great capita- lists at home, and their u.neuts abroad, who may combine together, and demand any price tor it they ehuse. Under the agricultural system, the grain is secured at home, and is always forthcom- ing when wanted. Under the commercial system, the grain may be kept abroad, over and doled out in moderate quantities..so as merely to feed the market, and not lower the pricn- In such cir- cumstances, tho gambling in grain, which must he had at any price, however enormous, would become frightful beyond description; and the community at large must entirely depend for their sustenance, on the speculations of a few interest- ed dealers. On the. Political Changes which the proposed aller- alious in, our Corn Laws have a tendency to bring about. The constitution of this country is in principle monarchical, and its privileges are gi Vim to those who possess landed property. The King is con- sidered to be the original proprietor of all tho lanrls in the kingdom. The peers are supposed to be those possessed of the greatest estates in it and no man can represent even a city or borough, without property in the soil. It has also been a principle, that British subjects shall live on the produce of British industry and foreign articles of food, uuless in times of scarcity, are excluded froin British markets. The object of the advo- cates of the new system is, to overturn these principles, by the adoption of which the country has so t'lllinently prospered. We are told, that we ought to depend, not upon the produce of our own, but of foreign soils that weought not only to leave a vast extent of country in a state of per- petual barrenness, but to drive much land, im- proved ill a great expence, out of cultivation; and that the landed interests ought to be impoverished for tlla sake of enconrag-ing commercial specula- tion. With their wealth, tha power of the pro- prietors of land must necessarily vanish, and new constitutional principles, adverse to the landed and monarchical system, will be introduced. It was formerly the maxim, Solumus leges Angli but it li-Iti now been changed to" eo- lumus and it is impossible to foresee, what may be the result, of such a torrent of inno- vation." To'concludeThe proprietors and occupiers of the land, ought to be considered the true basis of internal political strength. They are permanent residents, and in a manner fixtures on the soil; whereas the commercial and mail u PIct ill-iilg i are 111 a arrest degree, citizens of the world and. .inconsequence of their connexion with foreign countries, feel necessarily less anxious about the prosperity of their own, which whim or interest often induces them to abandon. To sacrifice. therefore, the interest of the fixed, to that qf tite, transitory classes, (which must be tho object of those, who are determined, if possible, to over- turn the laws for protecting the industry of the farmer), would bo the height of political infatu- ation. N. II.-IT oitght likewise to be considered that foreign corn, in its conveyance, is exposed to a variety of incidents. It is liahle t,o be heated in warm weather, and during the stormy seasons of the year to he delayed, by adverse winds, for weeks, and even for months, or to be wrecked and totally destroyed. What a state of hazard for a great and populous country, to depend on such contingencies for its food? In Great Britain there are about 600,000 farmpr*. and in Ireland there must be above 100,000 more.

At a time when Mr. O'Connell's name is strangely mixed up with the most vital question which ever was discussed, it may not beunamus- ingto submit two letters from that gentleman, of different dates-& perusal of them will sufficiently prove the steadiness and firmness of the Learned Gentleman, and tend to improve the reliance im- plicitly placed in him by his countrymen, while at the same time they may afford a reasonable justi- fication of their writer's respect for the consistency of his friend MB. ConUETT—they are geius in their way, Limerick, July 27, 1817. My DEAR FRIEND,—I perceive the pliant Tro- jan has got Dr. MURRAY'S support for the veto. Their publication of their letter to you was in- tended to intimidate other Bishops from that zealous opposition to the veto which the people look for, the times require. The person t am most surprised at is you. Why did you not in- stantly counteract the poison by publishing all such replies as yott. received reprobatory of the veto, and favourable to domestic nomination. I presume you are waiting for more but as the war began on the other side, you ought to h&ve published every publishtblc letter. I "conjure you let Dn. COPPINGER and DR.

But the sneer at the Board, and the suppressed anger of those Prelates, would be ludicrous, if the subject were not so vital andimportant. Are they angry because we urge not the name, hut the reality of domestic nomination? Alas! the fact is, that is the cause of their ill temper, and the source of their attack upon us. You cannot conceive anything more lively than the abhorrence of their Yetoistical plans among the people at large. I really think they will go near to desert all such clergymen as do not now take an active part in the question. The Me- thodists were never in so fair a wav of making converts.

THE KING'S VISIT TO COVENT GAR- DEN THEATRE. THE arrangements for his Majesty's visit to Co vent Garden Theatre on Monday evening, were extremely well conducted, and his Majesty's re- ception was such as must have been highly gra- tifying to the Monarch of A free people. As the procession passed along the streets, it was hailed with the most enthusiastic plaudits, and when it arrived at the Theatre, it was received by a lIlul- titude who seemed anxious to testify their respect and attachment by the most ardent expressions. The King's box was fitted up with the usual splendour for the occasion, and all the private boxes were set apart for his Majesty's attendants. A Guard of Honour, commanded by Major Ron. tinck, marched into a place, where the King en- ters the Theatre. Sir Richard Birnie, and the other Magistrates of Bow-street, attended by the officers and Police of their establishment, arrived at the same time. The passag-e and tairs leadillg to his Majesty's box were richly carpeted, and a party of tho Yeomen of the Guard lined the en- trance hall. The Royal cavalcade, consisting of five carriages It-it Carlton House at ten minutes before seven o'clock. His Majesty was (tressed in the uniform he wore at the last Levee, with the addition of four splendid Orders on his left breast. He was attended in fti., eat-i-iage by the Master of the Horse, and Viscount Lake as the Lords in Waiting. In the first carriage were 1\lr. Lewis and the Honourable Mr. Legge, the GENTLEMAN Ushers in Waiting, and also thu Exons. In the ¡ SHCond carriage were Sir Robert Bolton, the 1 EI'jtierry in Waiting-; Master Pautet thePage of Honour; the Silver Stick in Waiting: and Mr. Brent, the Deputy Comptroller of the Household, In the third carriage were the Comptroller of the Household, the Treasurer of the Household, the Master of the Robes, and Sir Andrew Barnard, the Groom itt IVaitiiig. In the fourth carriage were the Lord Chamberlain, the Vice-Chamber- lain, the Captain of the Yeomen Guard, and Earl Harrington, Gold Stick in Waiting. The King followed in the fifth carriage. His Majesty was escorted by a party of Life-guards, and the proces- sion passed through Charing-cross, St. Mnrtin's- lane, Long-acre, James-Street, and Hart-street. The arrival was announced by sound of trumpet, when Mr. Ramble, Captain Forbes, Mr. Fawcett, and Mr. Gardener conducted his Majesty to !the Royal box, each holding two large wax lights, as usual upon such occasions.—As soon as the rtoyal party appeared within the Theatre, the curtain rose, and the whole vocal corps came for- ward to execute the national anthem of I. God save the King." The stage at this moment pre- sented a very crowded appearance, and many, both ladies and gentlemen, appeared among the dramatic ranks, to catch a glimpse of royalty, who did not belong to the professional groupe with which they were for the moment associated. burst of applause which took place on the first entrance of his Majesty was rapturous in the highest degree, and the anthem was encored the moment the last verse had finished. The perfor- mances of the evening were the opera of Der Frehchutz, and the farce of Charles the Second. The number of the choristers was considerably augmented on this occasion, and all the perfor- mers exerted themselves to the utmost. His Majesty, and his Royal Highness the Duke of York, who arrived shortly after, at the Theatre, appeared highly gratified both with the vocal and dramatic exhibitions. At the conclusion of the play, Rule Britannia" was performed. The agreeable little afterpiece of Charles the Second; or the Merry Monarch, then commenced. The Royal party seemed highly entertained at the comic hits which Mr. C. Kemble, as Charles the Second, and Mr. Jones, as Lord Rothestcr, had fre- quent opportunities of making. Rochester, it is true, was not so witty as they might have expect- ed, but the King's humour made amends for the dulness of his misrepresented favourite. In this piece, as in the former, every exertion was IIsed by the different performers concerned to display their respective talents to advantage. 14 God save the King" was again performed, after which the royal party retired amidst the rapturous applauses of the house.

WELSH ANTIQUITIES. VALUABLE HISTORICAL ANTIQTJII.-Mr. Ilol- ford, of Kilgwyn, had upon a part of his estate, at a considerable distance from the mansion, a pyramidal stone, of prodigious magnitude, which he was desirous of removing near the house, but was deterred from the attempt by its apparent im- practicability. In his absence, Mr. Holford,jun. with the view of giving his father an agreeable surprise, upon his return collected a great number of the neighbouring tenantry, to essay its re- moval. The whole lateral pressure of earth hav- ing been removed, a team of flve-and-twenty horses were put to, and succeeded, with some difficulty, in dislodging this ponderous mass from its site, and exposed to view a tablet, with the following inscription A PAWL A BRECElhOdd un yvan hon hyd FLWdd An Ad Xxviii AG ELim AP OWEn Goch AL AddwydAC CAddw^dunman OACO f PREC thy GRift 1604. Which, when translated, we take to be St. Paul preached on this spot, about the Year of our Lord4S;" and Elini ap Owen Goch, suffered martyrdom, and was buried in the same place, for preaching Christ, 1110;1., This is an antique of considerable importance in an historical point of view, determining as far as such evidence can, the hypothesis of our Learned Diocesaii-that St. Paul preached the Gospel in Britain. When this inscription was made does not appear, but even ndniittirig it was ltte as tiici e-ti-ly part of the 17th century, it shows the existence of a tradi- tioti to that en'(Ict, or of-oiii(i historical i-t,(;oi-(i of which this tablet is probably a transcript. From the distinctness of the date we are inclined to think the latter, and that our ancestors were de- sirous of transmitting this interesting fact to pos- terity is apparent, from theimmense labour which must have attended the sepulture of this tablet. We congratulate the Principality upon the disco- very of this ancient relic and we congratulate the Bishop of St. David's, upon the discovery of this strong corroborating evidence, that Great 1-firitaiii (aye that Cariiiii-titeiishire) is within the limits of St. Clement's—a point for which his Lordship had contended longalld earnestly, and, as we think, successfully. The discovery of this interesting tablet determined Mr. Holford to ex- amine a cairn, oi- tuptittus, also upon his property, the result of which was the discovery of two earthen vases, one of which through the careless- ness of the workmen was broken, the other, in which were human bones, was preserved. Under these also was found a tablet, with an inscription, partly Welsh and partly corrupt Latin, of which the: following is a triinscril-.I- Hie JACET iN kAIRN hoN CoRpvs Lvpvs DA Escop TRECASTELL Lloscod AD. 427 This bears the date of the fifth century, and is in- scribed to the memory of Lupus, Bishop of Tre- castle, whose remains it is supposed they contain. Both these discoveries were made in ths parish ofMothvey, and if an examination were set on foot generally in the principality, we are sanguine that many valuable antiques may be rescued from oblivion, and that the cause of history would be materially benefitted by the recovery. We should have observed, that in digging up the tablet which records St. Paul's preaching in this island, human bones and ashes were found. The pyra- midal stone (one of the meini hirion alluded to in Archdeacon Beynon's address at the opening of the Cymreigyddon Meeting in our hall) was form- erly surrounded with a hedge. Since its depor- tation to the lawn at Kilgwyn, part of it has been polished, and it proves to be a block of red marble, beautifully variegated with blue veins. The farm ou which the stone stood, was formerly called Gelly-muen, obviously deriving its name from the stone. The other inscription, it will be seen, records the martyrdom of Elim ap Owen Goch, for preaching Christ.

VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. We have received a series of The Hohart Town Gazettes to the 22d of October. The following are extracts:— HOBAHT TOWN, JULY 16.—It will be recollect- ed that a few weeks ago we mentioned the death of Mr. Osborne, a stockowner of the Bath district, in consequence of spear wounds received from Musquito and his sable companions. The fol- lowing are the particulars as detailed by Mrs. Osl)orlle It appears that for some days previously to his death, Mr. Osborne had been in town, whence lie returned home, lato in the evening of Wednes- day, June O. About an hour after his return, an assigned servant to a settler named Beageirt, called to offer Mrs. Osborne a kangaroo, which she agreed to pay for in tobacco. After some conversation on the subject, Mr. Osborne made a remark, on hearing which, as he had not been seen, the man startled, In a very embarrassed manner, said, O! Mr. Osborne, is it you? I thought you were in camp I have called at the request of two poor blacks,;who arein great want; and I hope that you will send them some provi- sion What could you mean by bringing them about the place,' cried Mrs. Osborne, 4 did you mean them to murder me !'—' Be under no ap- prehension,' answered he, 4 they are quite tame, and I have been sitting at their fire in yonder glen, for the last two hours.'—' They would not have come if they had thought any man was on the premises, for fear of being sitot.At this mo- ment a black man was seen within a short distance and on being recognised as Black Tom, the no. torious companion of Musquito, the deceased ob- served to Beagent's man, that4 he must be a very bad fellow to consort with such a murderer, eq e cially as he knew how many acts of barbarity have lately been ascribed to him.'—.« I don't care,' was the reply I wotild not beti-ay him for three free pardons and -301, besides.' The deceased was alarmed, and ha gave a dish-full of potatoes to him, on «hich he joined Black Tom, and imme- diately disappeared. •' Nothing further occurred until the following morning. when, as Mrs. Osborne was churning in the dairy, her husband rushed in and cried, 0/ Mary, Mary. the hill is covered with savages She feared being murdered, and was proceeding to run away, when the deceased exclaimed, Don't be frightened, my dear, but go into the house, and I'll stand sentry before it.' In a few minutes the Blttcks had arrived within 50 yards of the door, Black Tom being their apparent leader; when Mr. Oiborne addressed them by saying, What do you want.) Are you hungry ?' —The answer was, Yes, white man; yes.' Then (said Mr. Osborne) tay down your spears and light a fire, and I'll give you some potatoes and butter.' At this time a large loaf was in the kitchen, which the deceased begged his wife to cut up, and distribute among them but she was in such a nervous state as prevented her from doing more than breaking it into two pieces, and laying it before the sable tribe, with a request that they might fairly divide it. The deceased again said, Lay down your spears. —We will (answered Black Tom) if you, white man, put down your musket.' Aftera short discourse, the gun and apeafs were placed oil the ground the Blacks (each of whom carried a fire-stick) came close to the house, were presented with some po- tatoes, which they began to roast, and seemed quite satisfied. Having eaten them, a party en- tered the house, and asked for more; the deceased went out to get some, and, on his return his musket was missing. "Apprehensions of treachery were BOW awaken. ed, and the deceased said,4 I am a dead man !'— A moment afterwards Black Torn entered, and after saying, (as he pointed to many things in the house) [ must have this, and I must have that he took Mr. Osborna's hat off his head, and wore it himself. Two other Blacks then grasped, as if to shake, in friendliness, the hands of the de- ceased, when a third, who stood at, a little distance, forcibly drove a spear into his back, which con- vulsed him to such a degree, that with a scream he bounded several yards, and fell. Mrs. Osborne rushed wildly out, crying, Murder, murder was pursued, and at length overtaken, after re- ceiving three desperate wounds in the side and neck.—She was then beaten down with a waddy, and robbed of her silk neckerchref, and nearly de- prived of motion. After which, although the. lojss of blood was considerable, she crawled to the hut of Mr. John Jones, which was at least three u miles off; where the most humane attention was shown her, and from which several persons, with laudable prompt! tu d e,iwetit to the spot where the deceased lay, and in pursuit of the assassins but, we regret to add, without success."
