THE WELSH LANGUAGE,I
THE WELSH LANGUAGE, I Rtply to tks Letter oj T. J, Cambrian, July 21, 1821. •' —. I can. w?tii a just disdain, Frown at effeminates, whose very Isoki c. Reflect dis!w!1our oil the land I love." Er miryn diorsedda aawybodaetb—CEFSOGWOS IAITH T CyNay. Mr. RDIToR,-When I first took up my pen to reply to the letter of D. W. I did not expect but that something plausible might be produced against my remuiks; but the puny production of your witty correspondent, T. J. con- tains nothing but a meie play upon words—lie has not HI- validated a single argument advanced hy me. I should not have taken the trouble of replying to it, were I not aware that there exists a certain class of worthies-*—known in Welsh by the cognoroination of Hillngaeth Die Shon Davydd—who are ready to eulogize any kind of sophistry tending to justify their own reprehensible and unieasonabie conduct. T. J. oresumei, that from the knowledge T possess of D. W.'s views and intentions, I may, perhaps, be justified I in charging him with meanness and want 01 lasle. 10 winch I beg to reply, that I possess no other knowledge of them than what he himself professes which, if he be on honest Welshman," asT. J. surmises, I should think suffi- civil*, to warrdtit niy assertir)ii With ei weithred, gredadyn, Y't,i v i r, v rd w ae I) I r d.v li Again, T. J. avers, that he could uot arrire at the con- elnsion that D. VV.'s intention was to alienate the affec- | tions of my countrymen from their native I¡wgnage! Indeed most aswredly, then, lie labours under the dread fit! effects of mental blindness. Surely, D. W. could have nothing else in view. To assert D, VV.'sietter to be the production of a clear understanding, and an enlightened and fii.iniy mind—a mind divested of prejudice—intent upon tire well being of society—and too much under the guidance of reason to be isd aw!!y by empty sounds, however melodious or sublime," is nothing to the purpose. Did it never enter into the pates of these gentlemen that the "well being of society" may be promoted ill the WELSH language as well as in any other D. Wr. and T. J. seem to grovel its some unaccountable i darkness, in supposing that the minds of the Welsh cannot be enlightened, or their prejudices" removed, through (he medium of their own language. T. J. asserts that the fatal prejudices of the Welsh have kept the in for many centuries far behind most other parts of Europe in scientific and useful knowledge." Will he ventuie to affirm that their lrngnage has been the means of keeping them back ( g I drfy him to produce his proof. Hut, ready, Sir, it does not appear to am that the WELSH, notwithstanding their d isad vantllges, are more ignorant than their immediate neighbours, who understand -no other language, than the celebrated (don't say patchwork) English, and wiio do uot loliow Welsh customs and manners. Will L'. J, assert that the inhabitants of Gower are better versed in scientific and useful knowledge" than their neighbours, tlw Weldl, in the vale of Glamorgan ? I doonna, nor I c«ima, nor I shnnna believ'n." Are the same people in Pembrokeshire distinguished for their literary acquirements—their know- ledge of the arts and sciences—their rational mode of lin- ing-or their superiority as members ot the community,, in any re ;pect, above t1r",ir WELSH, neighbours iii- the same county ? I woonna believe it:" there is nothing iii the ma- nagement of the daaÙy-the appearance of the csw heuse, or the tnirsy vield, leading to prove it! Again, T. J. says, a language guarded by Heaven's eternal King,' &c. can surely be in no danger of esiincium from the attempts of ali the 'literary maniacs and traitors to learning' who attack and, consequently, that Icitan DdÚ might have saved himself ali the turmoil of seeking quotations in favour of it "—But T. J. litis greatly mistaken my design it was not the fear of-tmf inclined 1M [6 write on the subject, bit-to snAME (if susceptible ef such « sensation) those who call tkemselves Welshmen, and who thus belie their country, and render themselves objects of ridicule to the better part ot their countrymen. Perhaps it would have been quite as well for T. J. to prore that a language cDuld have existed thousands of years without the protection of Heaven, as to have exer- cised h1i wit 011 the WUHÎ3 guarded by Heaven's eternal u sbtfe'Xcrief {jifPp!;irurfhrMf ing my sayings-:—I did not say that the Wt-tsn language was chosen by Heaven's eternal King' in preference to the language of his chosen and peculiar people;" how- ever, Sir, the WELSH has survived eeen that language, though unprotected for ceriaties by any earthly monarch—I shall 'save the reasons of this to be made public to those who think the subject worth discussing. In the next place, T. J. affirms, that in proportion to the increase of the English language is tha diffusion of use- ,115 (t, j, L iise- ful knowledge through the country." This assertion has already been confuted and I beg,"further, to state, as my firm belief, that in proportion to the increase of the Enr- lisa language, and English manners, there is AW ENORMOUS Agg c)" 'I TXCSEASE o? caiME. Will I. J. be pleased to • inform me of any English county where there is so little business dor.e at assizes AS in the count? of MERIONETH, where the ,I-TI4, iii, inhabitants, with few exceptions, are universally strangers to the English language? fleie it very frequently happens that the prison doors are thrown wide opelt-no prisoner be;r,g there to attempt his escape In Wales the polite nnd religious performances of suicide and duelling are not wear to pieva-ent as in England and the few that feel dis- posed for those honourable exercises are, generally, persons that are acquainted with English manners, and who wish to imitate them (as D W. and l\ J. do in other, things). j -Those, then, are ths incalculable benefits" which "the natives of Wales are to rsceive as a compensation fur the 4«s?rection of their own language and customs T. J. asks, "Wharf are the bocks composed in Welsh, which convey any information in the arts and sciences, commerce, manufactures, or agriculture?" I might specify 9orae original compositions in the WELSH language on those subjects; but it is not of the least consequence whether tbev bs originally composed or translated lato the Welsh I, language. SOTJS of the best English books have either I been translated, or the ideas which they contain borrowed, from works in other languages. But if Welsh books b« pnb! tilled and read in any form it still proves my assertion, f that WELSH SHADING IS MUCH MORE PRBVALEXT NOW f¡. fHAV ESTER BSFOEE—which I defy T.J. to refute. I might likewise prove that the increase of Welsh books is NOT an increase of copies of the same books: we have at present no less than Fn-a or sis PERIODICAL PUBLICA- TIOVS -.n the W ELSH language; whereas a tew vears ago tbeie was not one and numerous valuable and original books on divinity, &c. appear in the WELSH language annually, besides the translations' already alluded to. But even mejr were but transcriptcf books which had appealed previously in the same language, it would be no refutation to my assertion, which I again repeat—-the WELSH LAV- 80AOE 13 MORE OEVEHVLLT CULTIVATED AVO REAO JROW THAN EVER I dire A (firm that there are MARE than ■ twenty Welsh hcoks and Welsh readers now for every ose that existed 20 ot 30 vears ago. I would advise such p:t- ai D. T. state of Waies, and tso more write on a subject which they do not understand—find what will T. J. say of Welsh reading when he bears that it is in contemplation to print Dr. RKKS'S CYCLOPEDIA, or a similar work, in the WELSH I language > He may sneer at this; but let the Welsh pro- ceed as they have dune for the last SO years, and I will venture to predict that such « work will make its nppenr- ar.ee in WELSH ere 20 or 30 vents more shall have rolled nwav. I 4* • T. J very kindly advises us to I< look at the state of ound ,F H Welshman who guards with his heart alu] purSt, I Jiia beloved- native language, and another of enual enrja- eity. who bus been blessed with the knowledge of other; languages, and iiashad the means of improvement whtch he could not hsrve at iiome. The latter will be found as anpenor to the former as die heaven is above the-earth." If'T. J.'s memory fail him not, he may remember to have rea<l in mv letter—"Thp more iangunges any man is acquainted »» the more extensive will his knowledge be." And f ,d J s ingenious comparison would equally apply to rii Vag or a Frenchman, as to a Welshman T. J. next ex -errs "to hear of the WELSH language being spoken st court, and that all our treaties with foreign countries ranst b« drawn up in our 'heaven-projected' I Welsh language,"—As to his first expectation, I see nothing very romantic in it. The principal men in Wales de!i«hl in and 6IJlcourage the cultiv«tiou of the WELSH language: Sir W. W. WYM'K ha's vowed at the late EISTEDDFOD, 11, j Wi-siiixn, Wr-sa :t '.h? first language hla ,«a »h»ij J jsa-ra ? the Bishop of St fJ¡¡';¡d'. wi.U o'rdai'a no persos tin- acquainted'with it——C« kint, by the bye, to those who look up to the church); a great ii«niber of country gentlemen, Englishmen by birth and education, regularly attend Divine Service, though performed in the Welsh language. In fact, gentlemen of first-rate respectability cherish it, while a number of low-minded Die Shon Davys affect to despise it; therefore, it would by no means require his tasttjul ar- rangement of four notes ot admiration, were the children ot some of our future kings to be instructed in this most CI- [ pressive language. If his allusion to'Mieaties with foreign countries" have any thing to do in this debate, it ouiy shews the necessity of abolishing the English tongue, and every other language, with the exception of that which is must prevalent in Europe, or rather in the world Let him proceed to write against the multiplicity of languages, and to prove that nil nations, in order to facilitate courtly bargains, and the happy intercourse of me i cl I a it ts, should forget their own languages, and learn the Chinese, which is i spoken by a far greater number of persons than any other No. no this worthy patriot—'AmCymro cywir-rathcr, this anomalous being—desires the extinction of no other lan- guage than that of his own country !—Teilwng iawtt o hen Ddic, Y" wir T. J. after remarking on my quotation regarding the: harmony, sweetness, and majesty. of the WELSH language, exclaims, Very valuable commodities, no doubt, to my I ragged and half-starved countrymen, who scarcely know j the' T iI It their right handa from their left."—Mr. Editor, is this ] "patriotism," or is it knavery ?" This man's observations are below contempt.—"Very valuable commodities I"— Without doubt, Sir And although lie is not capable of appreciating their value, I have the satisfaction to know, that there are tholisawls who can and who can distinguish I quite as well as T. J. (or even his worthy ancestor, Die Shon Davydd, himselt) between the right hitttd and the left; and, I doubt not, they enjoy the pleasure resulting frosu a consciousness of being on the right side of the question— the side of justice, mercy, and patriotism." Let T. J. if he dare, go to the Gwyneddigion or Cgmreit vidian Society, in London, and call \lw CYMRY a ragged and half-starved" nation and I feel confident that he will meet with the reception due to his dignity!—-T. J. seems so well acquainted with hovels—raggedness—and starva- tion." that I felt at a hiss to conjecture where he was brought iip. till I thought of R eh Castle, and its enlightened vicinity, in P. b.shire, where the English tongue prevails the manners prevalent there are, I suppose, suificiently captivating to induce a Welshman to despise his laiT- gtiage and customs:—" Aar ya gwain to rr.arkat to morra ? Elects to ów; me a happart o. filt, and a pennart a zrwff: I gat a sleep's head this vcmrtnigkt on the wadlplat, and the mllggatšÙju,st garrin it awaay.-Blaady' I'm. gwain to bwyl some pndlin to morra in the veot of my husband's ztockin In this place, and the like, where there is no WELSH, the inquisitive traveller may find such a quantum of I, igno- .1 rance" (leaving raggedness". out of the question) which he may seek tor in vain amongst the real WELSH. Again. T. J. says, the Welsh are the dupes and the prey of a parcel of idle i¡¡jpasturs, who consume their scanty substance, and laugh at their ignorance." This vague representation, or rather, as 1 am inclined to think, misre- presentation, cannot be entitled to a reply till he conde- scends to inform as who he means by the parcel of impostors Were I to admit that the Welsh are more ignorant than theÎr !;eighboIHs, still I should maintain. that the fault is not their own—the whole blame attaches to the leading men among them in times past, for not affording encou- ragement to useful publications, &s. in a language which they understand. That nominal Welshman, who discou- rages the dissemination of useful knowledge in y UrHRAKO bersain, is the greatest enemy earth, call produce to the welfare of Welshmen,.—-thousands and tells of thousands of whom have no opportunities to acquire the knowledge of anv other language than their own. Must these thou- sands of our Israel, and their posterity, remain in ignorance till the WELSH language become extinct? When, then, are the Welsh to he instructed ? I answer—NEVEK Their language has withstood the storms of thousands ot years, and hils survived all ihe ancient lallguages, IIlId is as likely to continue to the end of time as it was centuries ago. At j any rate, it must be allowed, that its extinction will be the work of ages. Generation after generation of old Dich's family, as well as others, shall be swept off before that event can take place Therefore, I assert again, that the mail who endeavours to withhold instruction frolo my countrymen, in their own language, can be no othar than j -■ « • ¡: t.,r 0. I — I thought that I had said enough to convince every liberal mind on the subjects of Justice Business. &c. in illy first letter; but T. J. instead of answering my arguments, goes on in iiie same strain as D. W.; consequently I need no more than refer the reader to niy former letter, where he may find D. W. and l. J. s objections on this subject refuted. F. J, vsry kindly tisanks D.

-,*e-VOLCANO IN THE ISLE OF…
-e- VOLCANO IN THE ISLE OF BOURBON. The following account ot a late explosion is given by an eyc-witisess, the Mayor of St. ftoz.?: — On the arch of February, at 10 c/< iock in the morning, the weather being cloudy, a frightful noise was heard like that of a. loud ciap of thunder, pro- duced by the explosion of a column of fire and smoke from the crater of the volcano. The clear- ness of the rest of the day prevented a full enjoy- ment of this brdllant horrn; but on the arrival of m^lit a ptlfar w is perceived, formed of masses of fire and inflamed matter, shooting majestically to a prodigious height, and- failing with a crash whfch inspired terror. The brightness which it diffused1 was such, that over all the extent of this quarter a letter could be read by ths light of this prodigy,— Towards the middle of the night three rivers of fire were discovered opening a passage wear the summit of tne mountain, a little below the crater, ard taking a direction perpendicular to the high-road, On theS'h of March one of them had passed it, leaving a iine ot hiva. Q feet high by 20 hroa.d. and roiled to the sea. over an extent of 30 poles, throw- ing up the water to such a height, that it fell down in the shape of rain. At the moment of the eruption, a. shower, com- posed of blackish ashes, of goidcotoursft glass, sulphurous particles, fell in the vicinity. of the volcano. It rained thus for two hours. Oa the 9ih of March we experienced an earthquake, which was of so short a duration, that we couid not de- termine its direction. From the first moment of the eruption to the day on which I write, the volcano has not ceased .to burn. On the 1st of this month I it threw out such a quantity of smoke, that the higher parts of the island were covered by it. Ot? I the 2ci the rain was so abundant, that the arm of I the lava reaching to the sea was extinguished, and I on tha 4th it couid be passed without much j danger. j An observer, whom I placed in such a manner I as tlii seize \Le most niiaute circurastaaces which.] f volcano In acthrty might present, tells me iha-t at this moment the second arm of the lava has reached the high road on a. base doubie the breadth of the former, or 60 poles, and that the third is 200. Having .long resided in Naples and Sioilv, I have ascertained that the lava produced by the ¡ volcano of Bourbon does not all resemble that pro- duced by Vesuvius and jUtna the lava of the two latter volcanos is compact, hard, tmd not porous trinkets and snuff-boxes are made of it, which take a polish finer than marble. The pavement of Naples is made of square blocks from Mount Vesuvius, and it is so slippery that in time of rain we might skats upon it as on ice. Tha lava of Bourbon is a species of scoria, of a black colour, and presents the aspect of iron dross."
AC T OF GRACE
AC T OF GRACE TO PERSONS CONFUTED FOR PENALTIES UNDER THE REVENUE LAWS. Copy of a letter to the several Revenue Boards in England, Ireland, and Scotland, for the release of certain prisoners, in consequence of his Majesty's Coronation Treasury chambers, 36tt July, 1821. GENTLEMEN—I am commanded by the Lords Com- missioners of his Majesty's Treasury, to acquaint you, that in coiisequencc of his Majesty's Coronation, my Lords are pleased to sanction the release of all prisoners confined for penalties for breaches of the laws of the revenue under your minagement, who may have been confined for any period exceeding six months; and I am to desire that you will forthwith take the necessary measures for that purpose, unless there should be any special case,of improper conduct in gaul, or of very flagrant character, when my Lords desire the- same may be submitted for their consideration and directions. My Lords arc also pleased to extend this act of grace, under the same exceptions, to all prisoners who have not yet been in confinement six months, when they shall have completed this term of imprisonment; and they desire that instructions be given in their several cases, so that they may be released on the day on which the six months shall expire. I am further to acquaint you, that my Lords are in like manner pleased to sanction the release of ail prisoners con- fined for debts due to the revenue under your management less in amount than IDOL, who may have been confined, of- when they shall have been confined, three monihs; and they are pleased to authorize you to discharge the books of your department from the amount due from such persons, and desire you will take measures accordingly, unless there should he special circumstances attending any particular case, as before-mentioned, when ray Lords desire you will lose no time in submitting the same for further directions. X am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, (Signed) S. S, LusHitiaxew." Gratifying Improvement in the Tradr. of Scotland. The general trade of the west of Scotland is gotntr favourably on. The cotton mills are brisker just now than they have been for a considerable time, The manufactures carried on in the country towns are doin» well: the wool manufacturers in Stew- arton and Kilmarnock are in good spirits, and the work people are at present more comfortable in their circumstances than they have been since 1812.— Glasgow Chronicle. Buying Horses at Pairs.-By the 31st Eliz, cap. 12, every person purchasing a horse at a fair or market, may have a description of it, and the price paid, registered by the clerk, in which case, if it proves to be stolen, and the owner should claim it within six months, by repaying the money entered on the clerk's book, within forty days from the time claimed, the horse must he restored; but if no entry be made, the person from whom the horse may have been stolen, may take it at any time, giving the purchaser no recompence. Vagrants.—The Act to amend the Vagrant Laws, which was passed in the late Session of Parliament, provides, that for a year after the 1st of September next, it shall not be lawful for Justices to pass any vagrants to their plica of settlement. That no reward shall be given for their apprehension ex- ceeding 5s.; that it shall not be lawful to commit aiiJ 11,61,71.11 iv. im/ro than thro-o 0" one month, unless at the Quarter Sessions, or unless to remain in prison until the Sessions. That every offender shall be kept to hard labour during im- prisonment. That it shall be at the discretion of a Justice to commit or discharge any person brought before him, though an act of vagrancy be proved. That when any vagrant shall be committed for the Sessions, the person apprehending the offender .1 may be bound over to prosecute, his expenses to be paid by the county. That when any offender shall be discharged after imprisonment, the visiting Justices may order such portion of his earnings to be paid to him as they shall think fir, the sum to be repaid to the gaoler by the treasurer of the county. That whenever it slHll appear to two Justices, that any person apprehended as a vagrant, and directed to be discharged without imprison- ment, ou^ht to be passed as a vagrant to his or her place of settlement, shall be lawful to pass them as before. The Act not to alter the 53th Geo. III. cap. 12, nor the mode of passing persons born in Scotland, Ireland, Guernsey, &c. who may become chargeable in England, or in any way to alter the mode by which poor persons not having committed acts of vagrancy are directed to be removed. Elopement.—A few days since an elopement look place in the neighbourhood of Birmingham. The daughter of a gentleman of fortune, residing within a few miles of Worcester, came a few days since on a visit to a friend at her father's, who lives about three miles from Birmingham On Sunday last, a gentleman, who afterwards proved to be her lover, cailftd upon her, introduced himself to the friend of the lady as an intimate acquaintance of her father. He spent the day with the family, and, as it was i: supposed, took his departure for Worcestershire in the evening. Early the next morning, it was dis- covered, tha.t the young lady ha.d escaped in the course of the night, and had left a note, assuring her friends, that, should they succeed it! overtaking her, nothing should prevent her bestowing her hand upon the object of her choice. Instant pur- suit was mado, and at every stage the pursuers had the mortification to find that they had little chance of overtaking them, till the knot of hymen bad been irrevocably tied. Unfortunately for ths fu- gitives, the ceicbration of tit" ceremony was not so well arranged as the elopement., for, owing- to the absence of the clergyman of a smiill town in Shrop- shire, they were compelled to wait <! in dire sus- pense," and before bis return the friends of" tha lady arrived. Remonstrance was however in vain, and, in the presence of her friends, the lover and his fair fugitive proceeded to the church. The clergyman doubted—the happy pair insisted—the friends opposed it by every means in their power; but. as no legal difficulty iniervenad, the ceremony was performed. Report says, the ladv is very handsome, and (he gentleman possessed of an ample fortune.—Both parties are weil known. Wonderflll Undertaking.—Ca plain Henderson started on Tuesday morning at day-break from Teignham, Herts, for a stake of 200 guineas, to ride 1. fotir horses (54 miles in four hours, over 12 mea- sured miles of ground, part of which was turf.- The Captain is an intrepid steeple-chase rider, and although this match is inferior to that performed by Milton, the horse-dealer, in 1810, the odds were 9 and 7 to 4 against him. He started upon a bay blood mare, and did the distance in four hours, one minute, and 58 seconds. The match was decided as lost by the referee's watch by two minutes. The rider would have won, but from the time lost in mounting the? third horse, which was not very quiet, though the fastest of the three when off. The Captain seemed more mortified lhaa fatigued at loosing the match, I I Ftirhj Miles in Sir Ksurs,—-Ttih nsd'1!, work for a horse, was accomplished on Tuesday, on the Ipswich road, by Mr. Cassingham, a militia officer, in four minutes within the given time, for 100 guineas. He did seven miles in the first hour, eight in the second, and seven in the third, and halted and took refreshment, leaving himself the other 18 miles to do in two hours and §0 minutes. He did six miles and a half in the fourth hour, seven in the fifth, and won cleverly. It is a "CeaL work, but not equal to the performance of Abraham Wood and ilainer, at the same distance. Twelve Miles in Two Hours.—A man of the name of Belsham, 50 years of age, started on the same ground to walk twelve miles in two hears. He did six miles and 800 yards in the first hour, and won the match by 40 seconds. Singular Tact.—The temperature of the air was one degree lower on the longest da.v of Iti 21, in I London, than on the shortest day of the preceding year. Gaming.—Gaming was invapted by the Lydians, when under the pressure of a great famine. To di- vert themselves from oil their sufferings, they contrived dice,, balls, tables, &c. It is added that to bear their calamity the better they used to play a whole day without interuption, that they might not be racked with the thoughts of food.— This invention, intended as a remedy for hunger, is now a. very common cause of iiiit evil, The following tragic comic paragraph appears in a Pdris paper of Sunday: —"On Thursday some boatmen took a. man out of the Seine, who had thrown himself in from the Pont-au-Change. On conveying him to the Corps de Garde, (hey sue- ceeded in recovering him. He was no sooner re- stored than he assured the Commissary of Police very seriously, that as soon as he was free he should take the first opportunity of drowning him- self. The Commissary proposed to hifn to sign a f declaration of his intention to destroy hitnseH, and to which the man readily agreed. At this conjunc- ture, a female arrived, loudly screaming, My hus- band, I w til see my husband When, however, she found him alive, she was immediately silent. The boatmen approached her, to ask for some reward for having saved her husband, when she angrily re- pulsed them,, saying, Why did not you let him drown himself ? what business had you fo meddle with him? 1 hese word's had the effect of coring the husband of his foily, and he swore he would not again attempt to (frown himself.
