To the EDrrOR rf TlIE CAM-BRIAN. A, -r \s"become touch the fashion of the present day for persons at" all descriptions, among the young, the middle- sg.-d, and the more advanced in years, to advocate the liuiiiv ot shat invaluable book the Bible it iuay not be i-ji-Hor-r, [ presume, Mr. Editor, to remind them of the prt'c"i)t of our Lord tnti Saviour, that etampie is better than r-tiund to hearken to the voice of the Lord than burnt s on ice. That very emphatic and appropriate advice ;.| by the great founder of oar religious faith, and to Ch >.« the very general distribution of the Bible is so liap- pily intended to direct nil our steps, ought to have its due weight upon al! our minds; and unless it has the effect of jUiiking us more humble and more attentive to his commands than to the fasliims and amusements of this life, you will, JIr. Editor, I am sure, agree with tue, that the distribution ef the Bible will not only have lost its intended effect, but will add greatly to the weight which our present sins must iieccssardy draw down upon us. It would, therefore, be commendable in those persons vho stand forth champions in so great a cause, to examine Ihemselves, and to see if the- example they set is such as those they address themselves to, ought to follow (example being better than precept) and not to (jraw down so great a responsibility upon themselves, hy holding out to others whatthey themselves are not either acquainted with, or at least (Vh'at is worse) do not in many instances follow.. Although it is most commendable and desirable to dis- Iribute the Bible as widely as our abilities will allow us; jet I utn inclined to think, that if the advice of our Lord was more closely followed, and the. higher class ot society would set a better example, by denying themselves mnv.y would set a better example, by denying themselves mnv.y ef the short-lived pleasures ol this J'fe,^ it might have a better effect than even the Bible itself; but whilst the greater part of society pursue with such foolish avidity every little amusement, thereby neglecting their families, and leaving their domestics to tollow their own inclinations, it is of no use to preach or to advocate a oousc they tint] bq disagreeable io themselves. Do you think, Mr. Editor, it would be profitable to any •f us to make ourselves acquainted with the most positive commands of our Lord, and not to conform to them? Re- ligion is plain and easy to be understood, when viewed in its natural garb; but when dressed up by the mpposed wisdom of lIIau, who thinks himself suiffciently versed in the Scriptures to dictate to his fellow mortals the course they shall take for happiness in the world to come— dressed up according to his own fancy—i.t becomes too abstruse for common understanding, and makes the distri kution of the Bible, of little use. It surroHr.ls that most instructive book. the Bible, in a cloud, which the eloquence of the present advocates to the measure dues not seem likely soem to disperse, at least until they can make their example have a greater effect than precept upon their fee urers. Recommencing this to their serious sonsideration, I remain their aad your faithlul servant, Bknkvolvs.
RECEPTION OF I SIR W. W. WYNN;…
RECEPTION OF I SIR W. W. WYNN; BART. AT WREXHAM, ON SATURDAY. This was a gratifying day tojthe highly respected head It is scarcely necessary to say, that Sir W. W. Wynn, ll.irt. offered his services to Government, and led a provi- sional battalion to share in the glory and laurels of the late Frcneh war.—With Welshmen, the example of patriotism is sure to meet Us reward and it was determined to greet the Baronet's return to the seal of his forefathers, in a way worthy of the last retreat of Ancient British treedoin," and the object of their high respect. The beautiful peai of bells announced the day dedicated as a festival to heroism. Joy beamed in every feature, and satisfaction reigned in the heart of every honest Cam- brian. Several of the houses iu Wiexham were decorated with isurels, and the Eag'es-in-n had a t-uly splendid ap- pearance immense bushes of laurel decorated the front, with the letters W. W. AV. tastefully displaced in variegated lamps.-It had been previously arranged, that the gentlemen who honoured the tuectiii", should "assemble at the, Bowliug-green. which is situated at the outskirts of the town, on the road to Wynn- tiev, A,ere to rnu%le in proceM)pf! to the of the populace increased. A little after four, ths arrival of Sir Watkin was announced by the firing of the bells, slid the procession immediately advanced in the following C' Yeomanry Cavalry.

It was ornamented with the armorial bearings of the Wynnstay family, with the motto- Meminisse Juvabit. The Baronet was dressed in the full rifle uniform, as Colonel «f the county militia. Oil reaching the town-hall, the procession found much diolculty ill proceeding, so great was the pressure of the populace. The wiadows of the streets through which it passed, were ornamented with all the i<ir-tauie(i beauty and fashion of Wrcxham, waving their handkerchiefs, whilst the shouts of the multitude, Long live Sir WatkilJ I -Sir Watkin fer ever !"—" deafened lusty Boreas." On arriving at the Eagles-inn, Sir Watkin alighted; about four o'clock the dinner was served up to upwards of 20:) gentlemen of Wrexham. Chester, and the grounding country. The decorations of the room reflected much credit on the taste of those who had the superintendence of them.- At tl e upper end, numerous wreaths of ILKi,el, evergreens, and tlowers, filled the alcove, in the iemi-circle of which was the Golden Eagle, fully emblazoned, supported by the Foxes, the Arms of the Wynnstay family, with the motlo," Meminisse Juvahit." Above were suspended the regimental colours of thcRoyal Denbigh Militia. The table was loaded with delicacies, exquisitely cooked and when we say the dinner was got up under the direc- tion of Mr. Leake, it is sufficient to stamp the arrangements I'astr -!v as superior. The Pastry was prettily designed in Ruins, Temples Pyramids, &c. but amidst these secondary at- tractions to the stomach of an Ancient Briton, we may per- haps omit the more material and substantial article, which graccd the centre of the thble-ill immense Baron of Beet, surrounded with tile appropriate motto, "O! "the Roust Beef of Old England!" uv-tr is ilicil waved the Imperial Stsnidaid of England. The entrance of Sit Watkin was greeted with loud cheer- ih; and 011 taking his seat, the applause was, if passible, I ul,l redoubled. The chair of the President was filled by one ( Cambria's own sons- I'. It. Price, Esq of Brvny-pys; It.-Lloyd, Esq. occupied that of the Vice-President.

The President rose, and in art appropriate address, pro- posed the health of his gallant countryman, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart, and thanks to him for the honour he had done the company in acccpting the invitation to ciine there that day. The. gllllantry whiell the Hon. Baronet bad always displayed whenever Ins services were required by his country, were such as demanded the admiration and gratitude of every Briton. Sir Watkin arose, amidst the. loudest cheering we ever recollect, and apparently considerably agitated. Me ex- pressed himself to be totally at a loss to utter lus feelmgs, on the high honour which had just been conferred on him, in an ad equate Manner. It was consolatoTy to him, how- ever, when he jeeollected, that he was sitting amongst his friends and countrymen and if his conduct had been found deserving of public approbation, it was rather to the brave fellows that he commanded, than to his own humble merits, that the applause was due. (Loud and rtUcrated cheers ) With swell men, he would be always'ready to combat the enemies of his country, whenever an'opportunity offered itself-—Before fie sat down, he would claim ihe indulgence to'.tme.th.ttofthe conduct of the regiment under his com- mand lie had received the most satisfactory accounts, both Iroiw the illcstrious Dake of Wellington, and Lord Coiu- bermere. He again thanked tiie eomnaay; and mast heartily drank to their good health.—(Continued applause.")

Dr. Maurice Wynn, Rector of Bangor is y Coed), closed in the male line in Sir Richard Wynn, Bart, whoijedaucrh- ter Mary, by her marriage to Robert Marquis of Lindsay,■. afterwards Duke of Ancaster, conveyed her lar<?e estates into that family, now posses'ed by Lord GwydirT in rirrlit of his Lady, siiter to the last Duke.

This was, tewever, manfully and effectually opposed by Baron Price, Sir William Williams, Sir Roger Pulest'jn, and Sir Robert Cotton. North Wales had already steered by a former grant of those Lordships, by Queen Elizabeth, to Robert'Dudley, Earl of Leicester; and in our day, the plans of a Probert, were successfully resisted. (e) Cadrod Hardd, (or the handsome) was a powerful Chieftain, resident at Bodavon, ill Anglesea, in the 10th century from him is the Rev.

This line closed in Edward Eyton, whose heiress Mary, married Richard Evans, of Oswestry, Esq. Mary daughter of their grandson, Eyroil Evans, by her union with Sir John Wynn, gave him Wynnstay. (g) The Annual Agricultural Meeting at Wynnstay, is in a style of princely patronage and hospitality. The Prizes held out to emulation and exertion are indeed, to cultivate the Arts of Fenceit is a curious coincidence, thst the favourite strain of this family In the inusic of their country, is Meillionen, ths Trefoil—aud therefore cnlled Sir Wathin's delight. (h) The sensation excited by the entrance of Sir W. W. Wynn, into Freemason's Hall, at the recent celebration of St. David's Day, and his reception by the Cambrian So- ciety, was such as did honour to the company, and to their coantry; to Sir Watkin, it was u mental feast, that was worth an Empire. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. Thursday, March 23.-The Royal assent was given by commission to various Bills; among which were, the Corn Bill, Lord Walsinglntn's An- nuity Bill, Uink Three Millions Lo-an Bill, Bank Restriction Bill, and several other Bills. The House, en the motion of Lord Liverpool, adjourned till Wednesday y/eek. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Wednesday, March 22.—In our last week's Private Correspondence, Sir J. Newport was left speaking Ion the execution of the Alien Acts. The Hun. Bart. concluded by proposing a vote of censure on the Secretary of State, for isstiiug certain instruc- tions to Sir J. Duff, and other Consuls-General not to permit any persons whom niey might deem objectionable, to quit Spain in merchant ships without proper passports, such conduct being con- trary to the authority of Parliament, and ill contra- vention of the Alien Laws. Mr. Hiley Addiugton thought that the Hon. Bart. was under considerable misapprehensions. He was however, ready, freely to admit that the Secretary of St;tte would be responsible for any unnecessary severity in carrying the act into execu- tion. Mr. Whitbread considered this an ill-humoured act, a« it put it in the power of any Consul abroad who was in an ill-humour to relusa a passport without any good reason. Mr. II. Aldington after replying to the remarks of Mr. W. moved the previous question. Sit J. Mackintosh declared that Sir J, Duff had taken upon himself to shut the gates of British hos- pitality against hundreds of Spaniards flying n-um lull. persecution and imploring British protection. The Solicitor General contended that the prero- gauvc uiMvuO'n,s »h = «livr tore'l-nr.io ,huulU collie' to this country or not, was, by the common law of the land, a prerogative belonging to the crown. Therefore it was, thai his Majesty's Consals in fo- reign parts had been authorised to grant passports to foreigners desirous of visiting this country, but were at the same time cautioned not to give them to suspicious persons. An alien might still, not- withstanding the refusal ofa consul to give him a passport, come to England if he pleased, where of course he wis liable to the operation of the Alien Act. The circular therefore operated as a benefi- cial caution rather than an impediment to aliens, (lirectiiig them to apply for passports from the British consuls, without which they might be liable to stoppage by a magistrate, while" proceeding in- land in this country. cl Mr. Bennett supported the motion, and alluded to the case of a distinguished member of the Cortes now residing in honourable poverty in this coun- try, for whom Sir J. Duff sent a search warrant on board the merchant ships in the port of Cadiz which, however, he happily escaped. British Con- suls should not thus be permitted to disgrace both themsdves and their country. 0 Mr. Williams Wynne objected to foreign Consul being vested with the power of refusing passports. The house then divided, when there appeared. Against the motion, 68—For it 21—Majority, 47. 47. In answer to a question from Mr. Ponsonbvj Lord Castlereagh stated, that he trusted he should be able to lay the promised documents relating to the procee-litigs in Congress before the House in a printed shape, on the first day after the recess. ORDER OF THE BATH. Sir C. Monck rose to make his promised motion for the production of papers relative to the late ex- tensive enlargement ot this Order. In the original patent of Geo. 1st it was declared that only 30 per- sons could belong to the order: but by the recent regulation, the number of Knights Companions or Grand Crosses, as they were now called, was at once doubled, and extended to 72. The conse. quences of the extension might lead to the degra- dation of that respectable body, the country gen- tlemen of this nation. He concluded by moving "fur copies ot the letters patent under which George I. revived this Order, and also under which his successors altered or extended it: and lastly, for copies of the letters patent or other instruments by which the late extension of I I'* Order was created." Lord Castlereagh, in answer, observed, that it had been long telt that this country was peculiary destitute of any species of honours to reward mili- tary meritand that it would be desirable to cre- ate some honorary institution tor splendid services of a. military nature. No abuse had been men- tioned which called for parliamentary interference. He should therefore mqve, instea.d of the Hon. Ba. renei's motion, that the House do now adjourn. Mr. Gordon thought it the duty of the Govern- ment to repress rather than foster the military spirit which was becoming too prevalent in this country. Mr. W. Bathurst defended the extension of the Order as the only fitmethod ofhonouring men who must otherwise have been unrewarded, and whose only object in life, and. consolation in death, was honour. Mr. W. Wynn said, that where the Government was a military despotism, there, an exclusive mili- tary Order was wise aud constitutional. He ob- jected to the disproportion between the rewards given to the naval and military service, which he said was as 49 to 180. Mr. B. Bathurst defended the measure. Mr. Whitbread maintained that the measure instead of conciliating or satisfying, had completely disgusted the army, and had moreover created a ] jealousy between the naval and military services. Mr. Goulburn said, it was an error to suppose 1 that the services of the navy had been depreciated. The House then, without a division, agreed to 1 Lord Castlereagh's amendment and adjourned. Thursday, March S3.—Mr. Rose brought up the report of the Committee of Privileges on the case of J Lord Cochrane. After detailing the circumstances under which he was taken into custody by the Marshal of the King's Bench, it states their opinion to be, that the privileges of the House had not been violated so as to call upon them to institute any proceedings against the Marshal. Mr. Lockhart brought in a bill to regulate the sale of farming stock under execution, which wai read a first time. On the motion of Mr. Vansittart the House adjourned to Monday se'nnight. We are sorry to understand, says a late Evening paper, that some officers of rank are considered to have proved deficient in the performance of their duty in the late affair at New Orleans, to such a degree, as tif call for strict and immediate investi- gation by a Court Martial, which is to take place with all convenient expedition. The deficiency alluded to is said to be the cause of the loss of the lives of Generals Pakenham and Gibbs, and Kean, who felt themselves under the necessity of putting themselves forward to rally the men, and to shew them a becoming example of boldness irr the tem- pest of fire which they had to encounter. Genieral Gibbs is said to have expressed himself in terms of the strongest denunciation, in the event of his liv- ing and returning to England, respecting a. certain officer." — It hag been announced by the Post-Office, that a Flanders Mail would be Imule up every Tuesday and Friday, to be forwarded by packet from Dover toOstend. Packets are also established toCorunna, for the purpose of maintaining the intercourse wtth Spain which has been interrupted by the fate occurrences it, France. A Mail to Corunna. will be made up every Tuesday. On Thursday the Corporation of the city of London presented an Address to the Prince Regent, praying his Royal Highness to withold his assent from the Corn Bill, and imploring him to dissolve the Commons House of Parliament: — to which Address the Prince Regent replied as follows:- I have heard with the greatest concern the sen- timents contained in this your Address aud Petition. [ shall ever be desirous of paying to the repre- sentations of any part of his Majesty's subjects, all the attention which may be consistent with the I duty imposed upon me by the sacred trust com- mitted to my charge; but I feel that it would be a dereliction of that duty, if, in compliance with the wishes which you have thought proper to express, I were to withhold the Royal sanction from the important measure which now awaits it, and so to exercise the King's prerogative, as to indicate a want of confidence in a Parliament, which, under diffi- cuitiea the most trying, h is, by the wisdom, vigour, and firmness of itS conduct, invariably upheld the honoui* of his Majesty's crown, and promoted the best interests of his people. A Bill for the more effectual prevention of the use of false weights and measures, is passing through the Legislature, by which Justices of the Peace, or a m ijority of the inhabitants of any parish are to appoint examiners, who may enter into shops in search of false weights and measures, and seize the same. Persons nut producing then-measures, or in any way obstructing the examiners, are to be liable to a penalty. It appears that there was a considerable riot at Leicester on Monday night. The windows of the z, Mayor's house were broken, and some other damage was done. The Corn Bill was the pretence for the tumult, which was not quelled till the military were called out, whose steadiness soon dispersed the rioters. The two attornies, at Leeds, in Yorkshire, Messrs. Wainewright and Blackburn, were tried at York last Saturday, for the feloniously transporting ol Stamps from deeds, ike, when the latter only was capitally convicted. Mr. Wainewright remains in custody, to be tried upon some other indictments founded upon the same fraudulent proceedings; Shipwrtxli.—Friday se'nnight about seven o'clock, lp 11-1 the transport Charlotte, coming from G'braltar with 200 of the Veteran Battalion 011 board, mis. taking a large rock off the south pointofSçhracball Bay, for the Needles rock, hauled up accordingly, for the purpose of anchoring in Yarmouth Roads, .the wind blowing fresh from the N. W. This mis- take was fatal to the vessel; for in a few minutes she struck on the Needles rocks (which it was sup- posed she had passed) close under the light-hoiue, and soon afterwards, by the force of the wind, was driven high upon the small beach which is at the base of the cliff, that rises 600 feet perpendicularly. The soldiers, as 30011 as the vessel struck, broke open the spirit-room, and twelve of them liter.iily drank uiatil they expired The women and children, and,the remainder of the persons on board, safely landed upon the beach; but, in the course of the night, one of the women and Iwo children perished by the cold In the morning about forty of the soldiers (who had continued sober) succeeded in climojug to the top of the cliff: no boats could land until the evening, owing to the heavy surf that ran: another woman and child died in the conrse of the day frorMwant. At length the un- fortunate survivors were taken off: they arrived at the MotheruanklonSaturclay night last, and were put on board an empty transport there, to perform quarantine. Attempt to Poison a whole Family,—A servant in the family of Mr. Turner, of Chancery-lane, mixed a. large quantity of arsenic in a pie, which was served at table, of which the whole of the family, consisting of seven persons, partook; they were shortly afterwards seized with violent gripings and vomitings. Surgical assistance was immediately sent for, and there is every hope that none of the family will fall victims to this diabolical attempt, though they are still in a very dangerous state. Alarming accounts have been received from Cam- bridge, of the ravages of the Typhus Fever in that city. Many persons both in the colleges and in the city have already fell victims to its fury.

This morning our fresh supply of wheat from the neisffr- hotiring counties is tolerably good, but there is very tiu.lo from the more distant parts. Of all other kinds of grain we have but few fresh arrivals. Wheat sells more freely at an advance of 3s. to 4s. pei charter. BdrlCY and, Béalii are each 2s. per quarter higher. There is more demand for white pea3e and this article obtains more money, as also do hog pease. There hils been a very brisk trade to- day for oats, and the prices may be considered 2s. per qr. higher than last Munday.
