To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom, of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The humble Petition of the Gentlemen, Clergy, Free holders, and Inhabitants of the County of Glamorgan" Sheireth, That notwithstanding the many, suggestions, both of re- gulation and economy, resulting the labour and re- search of various Committees of your Honourable House, and the sentiments expressed from the Throne at the opening of the present Session of Parliament, no symptom whatever of a voluntary nature has been sliewn- by his Majesty's Ministers of any serious retrenchment in the present expenditure of the public money. That the keeping up and maintaining the present enor- mous Military Force in a time, of profound peace, when we are in ftiliancewitli the principal States of Europe, and on terms of friendship with all the world, is pregnant with danger ro the liberties of the country, and with ruin to its Jinances. That ysur Petitioners having submitted, with fortitude, during twenty-three years of war,, to an amount of taxation almost insupportable, have, in their present exhausted state, good reason to expect, and elaim,a more than ordinary measure of economy in the administration of the public expenditure, Your Petitioners, therefore, implore your Honourable House to make a serious reduction jn the amount of the present Military Force, abolishing all useless establish- ments, sinecure places, and excessive salaries in every de- partment ot Government, the largest which are often bestowed upon those who do the least to deserve them; and that you will relieve the eoun'vy from the excess con- stantly recurring in the Civil List Establishment, by refus- ing any Jongerto provide tor its liquidation. Your Petitioners farther implore your Honourable House to discontinue all Taxes imposed and granted for the express purpose of carrying on the war; that you will borrow on loan or from some other source, such as the sinking fund or unclaimed dividends, the sums necessary for .th. extraordinary embarrassments of the enstung year, and that afterwards, by a vigorous application offconony to our expenditure, you will bring it within the bounds of Mur income, without future loans, or again recurring to that degrading and oppressive tax which jus Majesty's Ministers iave been reluctantly forced to abandon, and by which. even if continued, from the exhaustion Wenotf experience, and from the immense scale of our proposed establishment, to mate our revenue equal to our expenditure would hive been a vain attempt. Your Petitioners further rely, that they shall not he deemed impertinent in praying for the re-establishment of c the ancient standard of the currency of this realm, through the medium of gold and silver, to the end that contracts be- tween man and man may no further vary than from circum- stances Uncontroulable by human foresight, and common totheworid at large, and not according to the variable Opinions of any set of men (however,respectable) ?.s to the expediency of a larger or smaller issue of paper now re- gulating the value as well as the amount of currency. And your Petitioners will ever pray,&c. &c. (Signed) RICHARD JOHN HILL, Sheriff, On behalf of the Gentlemen, Clergy, Freeholders, afid Inhabitants of the County of Glamorgan, in County Meeting Assembled. AT a MEETING of the GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS, & INHABITANTS of the COUNTY of GLAMORGAN, convened by the High Sheriir. held at the Wyndhaiii-Arms, in the town of Bridgend, in the said county, oil Thursday, the 9th day of May, 1816, RICHARD JOHN HILL, Esq. High Sheriff, IN IIIE CHAIR it was Resolved, On the motion of Evan Thoiaas, Esq. seconded by 's Llewellin Tiaherne, Esq. That it is highly expedient to lay before Parliament a statement of the very depressed condition of the Agricul- tural Interest, 4hd of the gtievancCts under which they more particularly labour. That the Petition now rpad be signed by the Chairman on behalf of the Meeting, and that it be forthwith transmitted to Benjamin Hull. the Member for the County, to be presented to the House Of Commons, and that lie, together with the Member for the Boroughs, be requested to promote the objects ofirs prayer to the utmost of their power. That the foregoing Resolutions, together with the Peti* tion, be published in the Cambrian and Farmers' Journal. RICHARD JOHN llILL. Sheriff. The Chairman having left the Chair, It tuos Resolved, on the motion of Evan Thomas, Esq. seconded by John Bruce Bruce, Esq. that the Thanks of the Meeting be given to turn for calling this Meeting, and for his conduct in the Chair. PBrrftow.- To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great. Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The humble Petition of the Owners and Occupiers of Landi in the County of Glamorgan, Skewetk, That your Petitioners are nOW overwhelmed by a suc- cession of most heavy losses, and have suffered a diminu- tion of their capita) to an extent most ruinous to themselves and the public, involving in their distresses the interests of all classes of this realm. That they have endeavoured to contend, with firmness and patience, against such difficulties as have been imposed 'Upon them in common with the rest of their fellow-subjects; kilt that they cannot but attribute a very large portion of their losses to the grievance they labour under, in parti- cular in being exposed to the injurious competition of foreign produce in their own markets, when not called for by any deficiency of home supply. They submit that by the policy/adopted in this realm, however wisely for a long series of years, all the industrious classes of the community have been uniformly protected against foreign competition until by a fatal. alteration of the Corn Laws in the fatter part of the last century, pro- tection was withdrawn from that class alone to which your Petitioners belong, nor-has it since been effectually re. stored. That the enactments on Wool are regulated on principles most unequitable to your Petitioners. That the various other products of our soil are alike exposed to injurious uud unequal competition. That a direct Tax on the very Implements of Cultivation, those of expellsivc Implements, the Horses of the Farmer, is a measure as impolitic in principle as it is oppressive in Hs operation. That the Taxes Oil Leather and Salt press with severity on yotir Petitioners.—That your Petitioners, at the same time that they contribute to all other general taxation sustain nearly the whole oilhe enormous burden imposed by the Ponr. Laws, not only maintaining the de- j cayed or indigent labourer, in whose industry they have a direct interest, but the numerous bodies frequently-thrown on them by those Classes of Manufacturers who yet possess against them the advantages of a strict monopoly. The class to which your Petitioners belong cannot yield, in numerical proportion, in industry, in economical exer- tions, in amount of capital, or in the intimate union of their interests with the public welfare, to any portion of the community of this realm. They must ever rejoice in. and are justly conscious of, the benefits they have derived from the prosperity of their commercial brethren but they must claim ample allow- ance for the preponderating share which the consumption of your Petitioners in the home market must have contri- buted towards its growth, and cannot but mark the effects of their present depressed circumstances on its stability. Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray more imme- diately for the Amendment of the Cern Law of the last Session, so far as respects the bonding of Foreign Corn before the average price at home permits the sale of it. They pray for permission to export Wool freely, or for a compensating duty on its importation. They pray for protecting regulations in respèct. to the trade in aH other articles of home production. They pray for the total repeal of the Tax on Horses em- ployed in Agriculture. They pray for the dimunitiwn of the Taxes on Leather and Salt. They pray for a Revision of the genera! policy and en- actments of the Poor Laws, and for relief from their most u' unequal pressure.. And your Petitioners, humbly trwrtj that so long as it shall be deemed advisable to continue to regulate the Trade at large of the United Kingdoms by the principle of restric- tive policy hitherto adopted, your Honourable-House will consent effectually to secure to them the benefit of that principle in asarnple a manner as they have heretofore partaken of it, and as it is HOW enjoyed by any other class of the subjects of this realm. And your Petitioners will ever pray, &C.&C; Signed, RICHARD JOHN HILL. Sheriff, On behalf of the Owners and Occupiers of Land, in County Meeting assembled. AT a most respectable MEETING of the NOBILITY, CLERGY, and FREEHOLDERS of the County of PEMBROKE, held at the Shire-hall, Ha verfordwest, on Monday, the 13th instant, HENRY MATHIAS, Esq. the Sheriff, in the Chair., The following LOYAL ADDRESS to the PRINCE REGENT, upon the ROYAL MARRIAGE, was pro- posed by Lord Cawdor, seconded by Lord Kensington, and unanimously agreed to.

May it please your Royal Highness, We, the Freeholdars and Inhabitants of the county of Pembroke, zealossly devoted to the principles which placed your Royal Family upon the Throne, and warmly attached to the person of your Royal Highness, are desirous of seiz- ing an early opportunity, humbly and dutifully to express to yoar Royal Highness our congratulations upon thejoy- t'ufoccasion of the Marriage of her Royat Highness the Priwcess Charlotte of Wales with his Serene Highness the Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg. Having ever entertained the most lively interest for the happiness and prosperity of her Royal Highness the Prin- cess Charlotte, with which we must consider our own so immediately involved, we beg leave to assure your Royal Highness, that it was with the highest gratification we h'arnt that a Prince had been selected as her Illustrious Consort, of whose distinguished virtues report speaks so highly; > we therefore entreat your Royal Highness will graciously be pleased to accept of our most earnest wishes, that all the advantages and blessings to be hoped for, from an union formed under auspices so promising, may be realized, which, whilst it secures the felicity of the Roy al Pair, can- not fail to increase the happiness and comlorts of your Royal Highness, and must, we conceive, create the most heartfelt satisfaction in the breasts of all loyal subjects in every part of the British empire. It was afterwards resolved, that the Address should be presented to his Roya) Highness the Prince Regent by the High Sheriff of the County, to whom the thanks of the Meet- ing were unanimously gt'-errfor his.conduct in the Chair. to i HE Nobility, Clergy, Gentry, and Freeholders of the County of Pembroke.

SWANSEA, FRIDAY, MAY 17. g:l- The Advertisement.insefted last week, addressed to the Noblemen, Gentlemen, &c. &c. of the County of Brecon, soliciting their Votes and Interest for "CHARLES f GABB," in the Election of a Registrar, should have been signed "CHARLES GABELL."—We are sorry for the error, which arose from our familiar acquaintance with both names, each of whom we have the gratifiCA- tion to number among our best friends. Extract of a Letter from London, dated Eight o'clock Wednesday Evening lust. "Calcutta journals;ha,ereached us to the latter end of December. Now that peace with the Gorkhas has been concluded, oriental affairs become less interesting. A serious affray has taken place in India between his Ma- jesty's 87th regiment of foot and the division of the Hon. Company's European regiments. Such had been the jeac tousy and ill-will excited between the troops, that it was determined to separate them by sending away the 27th regiment from its station at Berhampore. The 11th of l November was appointed for that purpose, when the even- ing before many privates of that corps rushed out of their barracks, armed with naked bayonets, and a regula) battle ensued between them, and a part of the Hon. Company's European regiments, which, but for the timely and spirited interference of their respective officers, the consequences might have been fatal. As it was, before they could be parted, many men were severely and some dangerousty wounded. An enquiry has been instituted to ascertain the causes, of this quarrel. We regret to state that, the above affair is not the only instance of refractory conduct of which our troops in India have been guilty. A letter from Bangalore slates, thai. some very unpleasant disturbances have taken place in his Ma- jesty's 84th regiment; that in, consequence a court-martial had been instituted lor the trial of eight of the ringleaders, who it was apprehended would be capitally punished.— The follow ing-extractor- general orders will throw acme light on the subject :— Bangalore, Oct. 23, 1815.—The Commander in Chief having de«nied it proper to abstain, pending the trials now carrying on, from giving publicity tojthe sentiments which have been excited in his breast by the disgraceful transac- tions in which the great body of men of the 1st baitalion 84th regiment is implicated; his Excellency has for simi- lar reason# determined t» dispence with the presence of that corps attending any general parade antecedent to the period of making known the issue of the Courts Martial which it has been his duty to order on the present unhappy occasion. His Majesty's '84th regiment will therefore r«- main formed in its own barrack square during the general parade and guard-mounting to-morr«w. (Signed) T.CtNWAYAdj.-GeneraL tr The Commander in Chief of Madras was on his way to ■' Scringapatam for the purpose of examining that place, and of ascertaining whether it would be practicable to do away the same as it military station on account: of the extreme uuhealthiness of its climate. Ilis Alijesty's 54th regiment when it went there about a year since, was 1000 strong, but last month it could not muster 300 men on parade: the native troops are equally affected. AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE. We are now put in possession of New York papers to the 15th ult. i he tariff bud not been disposed of when the last advices came away but we learn from the National r niclligeutcr of the llth, that the President had signed the bill establishing a national bank. Even the Government papers express great indignation against the Secretary of the Treasury, for his principles contained in a letter, with a view to the regulation of banks. The democratic press ol the i Uh, states on this suhject as follows :_i We publish to-day a letter of the Secretary of the Treasury, and a bill founded upon it, which is the order of the day for Monday-next. We are not alarmists, but we shculd be unfaithful to our duty did we not, ot) this occasion, cry aloud and spare not. We are satisfied that the measures proposed are more unjust, more oppressive, mere pregnant with bankruptcy and ruin, than any measure which ever has been submitted to Congress. Under pretence of re- gulating bank*, it would destroy them—under the guise of giving us a lawful money, it will rob U3 of any circulating medium whatever. It will compel the bank to adopt mea- sures which will bring bankruptcy and ruin upon thousands. Why do not the mefchants, the traders, the manufacturers, the mechanics, all as one man, raise their voieei against this most iniquitous proposition ?' To the above remarks the Aurora adds the following :— TJpoii the Treasury letter published this day, we have room only to offer a single remark at this moment, that it exhibits the example Nqually extraordinary and infamous of the public financial officer of Government (a free repre- sentative Government too), deliberatfcly striking at the credit of the Government of which he is the agent—and at the same time proposing to confiscate the private pro- perty of persons concerned in banking institutions with which the national Government cannot lawfully interfere, and over which any attempt to exercise control, would be the confirmation of despotism.' On the 1st Kebuary the Dutch flag was hoisted at St. Eustatius, and the British took their departure from the Islands. From the great encouragements held out to trade by the new Governor, it was confidently expected that a number of American vessels would be tempted thither with their cargoes, for the trade of the British Islands. The corn market to-day was dull; neither wheat nor flour could find a ready sate atlnst market day's prices. The coasting vessels, with cargoes on board, were obliged to fail in their demands, and even then many of the cargoes remained unsold. STOCKS.—Three per Cent. Consols for Money 621.- Ditto for Account 6 £ §. HOUSE OF LORDS, Wednesday, May 15. After a great deal of routine business the second read- ing of the Bank Restriction Bill was postponed, on the motion of Lord Lauderdale, until Friday uext j after which the House adjourned till Friday. [ ftOUSE Of COMMON, Wednesday, May 15. The House was occupied until half-past five o'clock in routine and private business. IRISH CATHOLICS. Mr. Grattan rose to present the petition of the Catholics of Ireland, praying relief from the remaining Penal Laws now in force against them arid he gave notice, that on Tuesday next he should submit a question for the consi- deration of the House respecting those iaws. An Hon. Friend of his had given notice of a motion upon the same subject, but his question would not interfere with that. Sir John Cox Hippesley said, lite had a question to move on the same subject, of which he had given notice for to- morrow but after the example of yestprdny, he thought there was little chance of the Speaker taking the Chair to morrow, and conceived itjwoutd be better tojpostpono his motion till a future day; and he afterwards named the 28th inst. The question which he would have to move j would include many of the most important objects contem- plated by the Right Hon. Gent. Sir H. Parnell ruse to ask Lord CastJereagh a question; an address and petition, he said, had been agreed upon by the Catholics of Ireland, in autumn last, to be presented to his Royal the Prince Regent, praying that he would be pleased to recommend to his Parliaruent to take into con- sideration thesitufHion of his Roman Catholic subiects, with a view to render them every relief compatible with j the security of tfi £ state.. lie wished to know if that ad- dress had been presented to his Royal Highness, and whether it was the intention of the Ministers of the Crown to racominend to his Royal Highness the adoption of that object ? Lord Castlereagh answered, that he was not authorized to declare to the House or the Hon. Gent. what objects his Majesty's Government intended to recommend to hi* Royal Highness, and therefore he declined any answer to the question. After some routine business Mr. Rose moved the second reading of his Savings Bank Bill the object of which he explained generally to the House. The Bill was warmly approved by Sir J. Newport, Mr. Baring, and several other members, and was ordered to be read a second time on Tuesday next, to be then committed, printed, and cir- culated, and recommitted oil a future day, On the motion of Mr. Ponsai)by the House was ordered, on its rising this day, to adjourn till Friday. We left Sir J. Mackintosh bringing forward the motion of which he had given notice, respecting the sums of money, paid by France to the English Government."

The Portreeve of Swansea has appointed Wed- nesday next for a meeting at the Guildhall, to con- consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament against the Bill for registering ail conveyances, wills, &c.-See Requisition. The petitions to the House of Commons, voted on the 9th inst. at the Glamorganshire County Meeting, forthe reduction of the present military establistiment-for economy in every branch of the public expenditure—and for the relief of the agri- cultural interest—most ably dilate upon the se- veral topics, an i claim the serious attention of that branch of the legislature. They moreover shew thataspiritof independence pervaded the meeting, and reflect honour upon the county. A ConTa- tulitory Address to the Prince Regent, upon'the union of his illustrious, daughter with the Pridce of Saxe Coburg, was a)so voted.—-See Advertisementa. The Congratulatory Address to the Prince lie- gent, on the marriage of the Princess CharJotte to Prince Leopold, voted at the Pembrokeshire CouDty Meeting/on Monday last, will be foondin a preceding column. The Cardiganshire County Meeting, to consider of a proper person to succeed the late Mr. Johnes in Parliament, was held at Cardigan on Tuesday list, and very numerously attended. The camlii dates proposed were W. E. Poxvell, Esq. of N.mteos, and P. Pryse, Esq. of Gogerthan; the Sheriff de- z' 11 clared the shew of hands to be in favour of th, former Gentleman, and the Election is fixed for Monday, the 27th inst,—(See Advertisements.)— To preserve the peace of the county, an arrangement took place between the parties, and it is expected that Mr. Powell will be returned without oppo- sition. On Monday the 6th inst. aGenetal Meeting Was held at Neath Abbev, for the promotion of educa- tion on the British System. A School for Boys on that plan has been for some time established there; but it was conceived that an advantage would 11£; obtained by assembling the parents and relations of the children together, and explaining to them clearly and fully the objects of the institution. The sehool-room was nearly filled, and saver.J ap- propriate addresses were delivered, a gentleman who speaks the Welsh tongue fluently, acting as interpreter throughout. The progress made by many of the boys was highly satisfactory to the committee; and a number of New Testaments were distributed to the most uniformly meritorious. Ihe attendance ofscholars has been more numerous and regular since the Meeting, which was most le- spectably attended; and we feel confident that the utility of similar schools would be considerably extended, if such public appeals to the feelings and common sense of parents were more frequent. The spirited remonstrance of the Clergy of Bath and Weils against a Liit about to be introduced into the House of Lords; respecting the Clergy, will be found in onr first page, and will, we think' be perused with satisfaction by every friend to the church establishment. On Monday last, Mr, P. Jones, of Margam, Glamorganshire^ had a trial made of the Miner's Safe-Lamp, un the principle of Sir HUfiapnrey Davy; arid the"result-appears to have fully esta- blished the utility of the discovery. In situations where the air is not too far contaminated to support animal lite, it will be found of the greatest service and Sir Humphrey Davy is entitled to the y grateful acknowledgements of the mining interest of this kingd-iih in gener.il, and particulariy to those of the labouring coal miner.

The body, which was accompanied by the afflicted Lady Afthurand her children, it was expected, wnui i for the present be conveyed to Tregothen, the seat of Lord FaltrtoUih, her Ladyship's brother. The Duke of Beautort, Lord Falmouth, and other branches of the Somerset family, are gone down to meet the corpse; and the funeral will take place at Badmin- ton, where the family vault lies. Lord Granville Somerset, second son Ctf his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, is a candidate for Mon- mouthshire, in the room of his uncle, Lord Arthur Somerset.
