LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1. tHE Ganges 84, the Genoa, 74, and the Superb, 78, have been already called into service five frigates and the Menai 13 sloop were fitting for connnission at Ports- rsjfa st vreeJr, These nine ships of war have been thus added to the active naval force of the country, notwithstanding that there lie, or lately lay, in the Tagus, five vessels fully sufficient to carry out any reinforce- ment that can be required for the internal tranquillity of the West Indies, or, in- deed, any military reinforcement which can be spared from the British Islands.— The vessels in the Tagus arothe Revenge, 78; Hussar, 46; Active, 46 Seringapa- tam, 40 and Naid, also of 46 guns. The late events in Portugal render the presence of those vessels in the Tagus quite unnecessary; and that they are not required in the Mediterranean is abund- antly proved by the mission of the Sybilla to that sea in the course of the last week. and the orders given to the Alacrity to follow her without delay. It is impossible to believe that with a ship of the line and four frigates, already available to convey the three regiments under orders for the West Indies, the Government would wantonly incur ibo expence of commissioning nine additional ships of war for that purpose, even were it designed to use ships of war as trails.. ports, contrary to the known policy of our naval service. But without this, the nature of the stores (which are for two years) and he character of the hands (all picked iiien,) taken on board the newly, commissioned vessels, place it beyond doubt that the preparations lire designed for some more protracted and important service than the conveyance of troops.— What that service may be, we are unable to say. It may be to the cession of the Spanish colonies to France, or to enforce the observance of the convention '.( of last March; and it is ctireinely pro- bable, that the promptitude and extent of the preit'llt demonstration may cause the point to remain for ever undecided, by deterring the French and Spanish Go- vernments from any step which would render necessary the employment of ac- tive measures. The effect produced upon the Stock Exchange of Paris by the announcement of these preparations sufficiently shows how justly they are appreciated by our neighbours. On Friday the Rentes had sunk to 89f. 85c., and on Monday the shock was very sensibly felt in Loudon, the 3 per cents, having declined nearly two per cent. upon the week. The French Government has, it is said, resolved to continue a force of 30 or 40,000 men distributed among the principal fortresses of Spain, until the throne of Ferdinand (and we presume the Inqui- sition) shall have been firmly re-establish- ed. The necessity of such an arrange- ment must be clear enough to every one who considers the tendency of the mea- sures which the restored King has so sternly pursued since his release from Cadiz. Th,, mode of providing for the army of occupation, will, however, be a question of some delicacy. Spain, dis- tracted and exhausted, cannot furnish the means; and however lavish the French Government may. wish »o be in support of despotism in Spain, which it would willingly imitate at home, it may find sosne diiiicuUv i<> obtaining the sanction of the lower Chamber to such a scheme of pro. digaiit) • The rnmour that the French and Spa- nish Governments meditate an effort for the recovery of the Spanish colonies in South America gains ground daily and it is added the King of Portugal would not take a step so hopeless of advantage, so I obviously displeasing to the British Go- vernment) to which he must always look for protection and, otherwise, so, little conducive to the independence of his European kingdom. Perhaps this unlike- lihood of Portugal's joining the alliance to be regretted; for nothing can be i,gilled more directly tending to unite and strengthen the Southern Republics than such a triple alliance of the enemies of their freedom in Lurope. The naval preparations ill our Ports, to which the suspicious conduct of the French and Spanish Government have given occasion, proceed steadily. Several more frigates of the largest class have heeu called iOio si011, A great number still, and of i:,r(T<»r shi')S is expected to be addtd, and ih*i>ffctvve strength o the navy g t0 be WfI:it!5dd by five thousand men. > t Madrid, Oct. 20.—The preparations for the reception of the Duke d'Angou- leme are carried on with the greatest ac- tivity. It is remarkable that the French belonging to the garrison have been obliged to act with force in order to be permitted to part in the labours that are going ^rvv ii vd..

Triumphal arches are raised at the entrance of every street through which the Prince is to pass.-The women are preparing garlands, &c. His Royal Highness is expected about the 24th or 25th. Bavalona, near Barcelona, Oct 22.— On the 17th Mina sent to Sania after Marshal Moncey, General Monserrat This otficer offers the reduction of this place on conditions which cannot be ac- cepted. The Marshal rejected his pro- posals, and sent him his ultimatum. The Colonel returned about five o'clock, and demanded they should send to Barcelona a French General, who could treat with Mina on the conditions proposed. The Colonel was received hy the Marshal at dinner. On the IStli Geneiv.i Berg 'was sent to Barcelona, where he arrived at eight o'clock in the morning, They received him with distinction. returned this evening, bringing with him a project of the capitulation. Huron the 18th arrived a courier from Cadiz, bringing orders to the Marshal not to accord any particular conditions to Mina, and to demand that Barcelona should surrenders filie Cadiz. On the 19th General Br-rg transmitted the King's orders to the Spanish General, who answered he would defend himself; since which several flags of truce have ar- i-ived and the Marshal who refused to receive those that do nor bring the sub- mission without condition but yes ti., i- I evening Colonel Monserrat, was admitted, but we do not as yet know his mission; it is assured that before the 17th the a r, -Marshal oifeiuCl to Mitm very advantage- ous conditions, and at the same time a vessel to carry him, his family, and for- tune where he wished to go. Without doubt Mina will repent this offer. Dur ing all the time the siege is carried on with activity, 100 pieces of cannon are coming from Figueras, &c. Lerida, Oct. 22.-Colonel Tholose of the 5th division was sent to summons Le- rida. They demanded to send to Madrid a French officer and one of the garrison, to assure themselves of the reality of events, but they had departed, the militia re- volted and recommenced hostilities.- Marshal Lauriston immediately returned and surrounded the place, *»<{ he signil lied to them, that if one Frenchman was killed, the whole of the garrison should be put to the sword. This threat produced the desired effect, Lerida opened its gates, and our troops took possession of it. Marshal Lauriston proceeded for Tarragona with all his artillery. By the time you have received this letter, Cata- lonia will be subdued. Oporto, Oct. 10.—We have before mentioned that some persons had been arrested here for having sold or manu- factured daggers, prohibited by the laws of the kingdom the Magistrates made Z!5 the necessary investigation, and the per- sons principally implicated have been con- demned as follows :-the seller, as the owner of them, to six years' transporta- tion to Angloa, and 100 milrees for the costs; the cutler, two years' transporta- tion to Cape Verd, and 20 milrees costs; and the manufacturer of the sheaths to two years' transportation to Castro Ma- rion, and 10 milrees costs. Strict inves- tigations are making respecting the pro- pagators of the celebrated news which I was circulated ou the 28th and 29th of last month. Some of the persons arrested have been sent to Lisbon, and we are in- formed that others will be sent there to await the destiny due to their crimes.

FLINTSHIRE EfSTEDDFOD. --
FLINTSHIRE EfSTEDDFOD. Os Thursday se'nnight, this interesting nJet. it»S took pt*ce in the County-hall, in Mold, agree-ibly to notices which had b«en very eenc | rally circulated, and affordeda rich gratification to the I versi uf ;it)c,eijt filit;lstt literature. From j ter: ». ,Me»?n ii» ihe forenoon, the town < i with gentet'l company from øOthe siirroundmj; country, & carriage*,chaises, hndIH, jeigs, and single horses crowded the principal inns. At the Leeswood Arnjs, the genllemen who formed the committee were pro- ceedin with the necessary arrangements; and soon after the arrival of Sir Edward Price Lloydj a procession was formed, which proceeded thence to the Couuty-hall, many of the individuals deco- raleii with roseites and ribbons of green, white, and blue. By soon after eleven o'clock, the hall was completely crowded in every part,—and amongst the comply, we noticed he following respecta- ble individuals.— Sir Edward Price Lloyd, Bart. President- -I'he Hon. Lady Glynne. and the Miss Glynne's—P.D. Cooke, Esq. High Sheriff.-Sir William and La- dy Clarke—Mr. Mrs. and Miss Garnons Mr. and Mrs. Wynne Eytoti-Nirs. Robert W.

Clougii and Lady, and Miss Jones, of Goift),n- Mrs. Jones, of Wepre, and Miss Davies-Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Kijigtit-iNir. and Mrs. Jfones Knight-* Mr. Newcome-Mr, and Mrs. Hughes, of Bodfarry >— Mr, Makin, and the Miss Makins— Mr. & Mrs. Roberts, and the two Miss Hughes's Mr. and Mrs. Jones Hugt.tes-J r. aud Mrs, kewis, of GlaorafoD-Mr. and Mrs. Lawis, of Hryn Edwin—Rev. Mr. Jones, of Northop-J. Roberts, and R. H. Jones, Esqrs. of Ruthin- John Wyun Eyton, Esq. and Lady-C. B, T. ftol)er, Eiq.-Rev. Mr. Roberts, Halkin—Rev. Mr. Strong, &c. &c. Those Gentlemen marked thus (*) are Clergymen. On the mution of Richard Garnons, Esq, Sir E. P. Lloyd was called to the chair. Sir Edward (hen rose, and addressed the meet. ing. He observed that in obedience to the com- mands of that respectable assembly, he had un- dertaken the task imposed upon him, while he regretted that the honourable distinction had not been confided 10 some other individual more f competent to discharge the duties of the ofilee.- It had never fallen to his lot to preside in a si- milar meeting to the present, and be was but im- perfecUy conversant with the subjects connected with it be would however, throw himself upon the candour of the numerous assembly by whom he wac surrounded, .d bu..cd hJ raeei "H" ,h., iodul £ «oce Be so iniicb stooo in need of. There was no man more proud of his country than he was, and none who felt a stronger solicitude for perpetuatiog its language and extending its liter- ature, He was aware that many objections had been inide to the frequency of these meetings, as likely to Issseu the interest which they would exci(e, if ai(vre seldom resortvd to. But be would confess himself frieodiy to them, as he conceived they were means peculiarly calculated to call forth talent and genius from obscurity, and essentially tended to elucidate the history, manners and customs of the country. With re- conviction, be felt himself honoured in presiding over the present assembly, and assured the meet- ing that he would contribute every effort in his power to promote the interesting objects proposed by the Fliutshire Eisteddfod. The Hon. Baronet said, he woutd no longer occupy the time of the meeting, but hasten to afford an opportunity to those gentlemen who had come prepared with their communications, to proceed to the more important business of the day. The address of the bon. chairman was followed by loud and ge- neral plaudits. The natiooal anthem of God save the King was then exquisitely sung by Mr. Jones, organist of Ruthin, in Welsh, accompanied on the harp by Mr. Cunnah, the whole company standing, and joining in the chorus. Mr. Thomas Rowlands, the active secretary, then requested, that those individuals who were prepared with Welsh verses of their own compo- sition for the opening of the Eisteddfod, would have the goodness to read them aloud; when the following persons, situated in different parts of the hall, rose in succession, and audibly read each his own production John Roberts, of Hersedd Samuel Evans, Llausaintffraid Jo- seph Williams, William Edwards, and John Evans, all of Ysceifiog William Williams, of Denbigh David J ones, of Cilcen David Griffith of Denbigh; Moses Philps, of Caerwys and Richard Diiviesgofflolyliead,-TI)esecomposi- tions contained from two to four verses each, commendatory of the Flintshire Eisteddfod, and received a varied degree of plaudits accord- ing to their respective merits. The following were the subjects for competition with the premium to each:— 1. For the best Ode on the Field of Garmon, where the Wctcb ilcftaleO Hie rielS and Scots, and whose victory was ascribed to the shout of Hallelujah—Five Pounds. 2. For the best Essay in English on the Uti- lity of holding Eisted(ifods.-Th-i-ee Pounds. 3. The best Essay in Welsh on the Ancient British Laliguage.-Five Pounds 4. For the hast extemporaneous Oration in Welsh on UuilY and Brotherly Love.—Two Pounds 5- For the best Harper- TfiJO Pounds; and One Pound for the second best. 6. For the best Singer of Penillion with the Harp—One Pound. 7. For the best Psalm.tune-Olle Pound. It is necessary to remark, that by previous announcement, it was required that ail the com- positions shouid be placed in the hands of the se- cretary, Mr. Whitley, a fortnight before the meeting took place, in order that their respective merits might be ascertained by competent judges; aud it was now that the judges had to award the prizes to the successful candidate*. The Itev. Mr. flushes,- of Bodfarry, wi h whom was associated Mr. Robert Davies, ot Nautglyn, as the judges of the Welsh Ode on the "Field of Gannon"—(MaesgarmonJ—now rose. He observed there were thirteen competi- tors for this prize. Io estimating their respec- tive merits, he and his coadjutor had divided them into three classes and he was sorry to say, thete was oue-tliird of the number of corn- X positions sent MI sthicfl raigfU justly be said to possess no iiK't it ;»i ail 5 thry were destitute of ecry ei6ef"i;jl evi,i"e(I I total uinifance uf fh-ir nmt»->rs in the language, an i some of tl.em wete even ouuxious for false spelling He k ea'ly.reafe'.ied 'oat such persons should pu' theoiseivt v fur com p.? titofs without the slightest p*> ic*i'.tv, observing, they would a tx-sf i,n IF,cir own credit by submit* inner their productions to their more intelligent neighbours, or withholding theni altogether. The sec nd class possessed a shade, and hut a shade of it with numerous defects and io;per- I lections but on these he would not dwell. There were only four composition*, whirl) con- stituted the third class at all deserving of oolic aud in enumerating thee he should pursue the same, nude of classification he had hittiert,) adopted, beginning witb the inferior first. The firs: he should name, before Ihe signature of Maiiienadd i lhe author seemed to have lost much time iu search of his poetry s it abounded rather iu loose descriptions; but it must be own- ed, when he comes to iread upon the great sub- jeci, Maesgttrnion, he seems to feel something of the inspiration ot the poet. The next, in point of ruerif, bore the signatcie oi Gwyndodin, and certainly was entitled to a higher share f'l praise, the second beat was that signed iilyddyn, the language of which was pretty correct, and ap- proached somewhat nearer t,) eteelience than the preceding. But the ode which lie and his col- league ju-fged to be the best, was the production under the signature Llyicarch lenonc. Toj, was a vety diffuse composition, embracing uo less than 830 lines, a kind of epic, and the speeches conta.ned in ii were of greater length than those given by Virgil and Homer to their heroes. There were some descriptions thai were truly excellent but if the poem had been more con- cise and condeused, it would have been more en- titled to praise. Upon (he whole, however, it was very clear that none but a oiao of genius could have brought forth such a production and there was 00 hesitation in deeming it entitled to the premium. The Secretary then demanded, that if rhe per- son who assumed the signature of Llyiauch leunnc was present, he would avow when Mr. John Blaekweli, of Mold, stood up amongst the crowd in the midst of the ball, and annouuced himself the au-l.or of ibe suetvslul ode. A very general expression of applause fol- lowed this announcement, and lie was called for. ward to the table, where he audibly read his composition. At the request of the president, Mrs. Knight, as the Lady of the Manor of Maes- gannon, then invested the author with the hooo. rary decoration of a blue ribbon. The next prize was a premium of three pounds for rhe bfst Esiav 1? hfiCi'tg 1.1 s 11-0dooi. — J»ii,r», itic Mr. Cintign, or Moid, and ihe Rev. Mr. Jones, of Northop. The Rev. Mr, Clougb, said, that four compe- titors had put in their claims for this premium^ who appeared under the sigu,i iirt s of Juvcn" Ap Jortverth, Edgar, ami J) Montliault. The Rev. Gentleman proceeded to descant on the re- spective merits of each remark-ig, tha Juvenis and Ap Jorwerth, were both credible Eugnr, extremely meritorious but that De MonthnuH stood the highest in pom. of excellence, and to Dim the premium was adjudged. The assumed name of the successful candidate was then called when it was announced that John Homffieys Parry, 19, We,iit,gll)n strref, London, who was nor present, WHS the author, The production, which was pre-eminently excel- lent, was read, and elicited from the meeting strong expressions of approbation. The third premium was fiot pounds, for the best Essay in Welsh, on the At-tiq,tiiv of the Ancient British Language; the Judges for which were, the Rev. Mr. Jones, of Rbyddlan, iha Rev. Mr. Lloyd, of Naonereh and fh" R i. F„ Richards, of Caerwys. W- cout-t not d'sitn ?v collect the remarks made by the R-v.

The premiiiin (if two pounds for the best ex- temporaneous Oratom in Welsh, on Unit v and Brotherly Love, was neat aniiounred and on a general invitation being given for competitors to contend for the prize the following six indivi- duals mounted the table in front ol the -si- dent, viz.

The candidates then proceeded to the wordr contest in the order in which their names are given, after wnich the prize was adjudged to Mr< John Biackwell, who was in ciinscquence honour. ed with a second blue ribbon, by the hands of Miss Cotton. Considerable merit was displaved by several of the oratorical competitors, bur the most equal meed of praise appeared to rest chiefly between the successful one and Mr. Ro- bert Lloy-fl, who wore a siiveir medal rnuncl his neck, the honorary badge of some previous suc- cessful ciTPrt, and is said to have acquired Ihe appellation of the Cunning of Ruthin.
