TOUR IN WALES.

" Yttratinseirig. near Aberystwith, Cartiganehire,

" This place is so romantic in 'rocks and lofty
mountains, that I am not able to give you an ade-
quate idea of it. On Saturday last, a strong party
of my friends went up the great mountain. heteeeu

we found ourselves uta the summit of PlinHinman
hill; from hence we leeheld the whole world below
us. We opened our casket of caret dater ; we took
Our seats ou the rock. and could plsiuly.discover
great part of Smith and North Wales, within our
view. The sight was most gratifying.—At a small
distance we Imola perceive nine different lakes, of
various sizi.s, sod well stocked with fish; they :...e
seldom disturhuil, as the Welsh people prefer their
flora sad butter-oink, to every thing else in na-
ture*.

went to their chapel at Long..; tho yesterday. lad

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 23.

A very heavy gale of witid was experienced here
curly on Tuesday inuroung. Several vessels were

ue Saturday- evening last, as Mr. S. F. of

he was attacked by a villain on the walk
near the Botanic Garden, who wounded hint ou
the bead, beat him in a most brutal manner, and
robbed hiin of SOL and his watch. We are sorry
to add, that in consequence of the wounds be re-
torivell, his recovery is very doubtful.
Oti Thursday night, a numerous body of sailors,
women, boys, tee. again attacked the houses of fell-
desystits fur the impress service in this town, uud did
considerable mischief, by damaging the houses,
destroying the furniture, throw/Mg it into these:stet*,

and the rioters having effected their unspoilt, dis-
persed, before my elfectual force could be brought

cOrENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

We have little to record, either with regard to this
play, the farce, or the row of last night. The
Merchant of Venice was excellently performed by
the accustomed dramatis penance, and, of the nu-
moors of Tow Thumb very little could be heard,
on account of the more nmsy reptesentution of the
row in the pit ; although this part of the house
was thin during the whole of the night ; and yet
the 0. P.s, who did venture in, were enterprising,
and dashingly disorderly. One foolish person made
his appekratice in a Barrister's wig, and collected a
circle round him, whom he instigated to noise and
tumult. He was soon, however, carried off to
Bow-street, by a party of half-a-dozen of con-
stables ; and his gallant friends saw him borne off
in triumph, without an effort to save him. Several
others of the moat prominent disturbers were,
after this, seized ; but still the remaining
0. P.s maintained the uproar in so great a degree
as to destroy the whole-business of the stage.
I hiring the farce, a piece of wood, and the muti-
lated remains of two or three oranges, were thrown
at the performers. The former struck Munden,
who uery.good nataredly, although a King, instant-
ly stabbed himself, not being able to endure the
ignominy of this insult. The private boxes wore
pretty well filled, and the bawler, dispersed anon
after the entertainment concluded, after indulging
themselves in the usual rondo of groans and shouts.
All this is very becoming in an enlightened nation,
and will, uo doubt, inspire foreign countries with
an exalted idea of the British metropolis.

TOE TOMB OF GENIUS.

il'here the chilling north-wind howls,
Where the weeds so wildly wave,
Mewled by the weeping willow,
Wasted by the heating billow,
lays the youthful poet's grave.

Beneath yon little eminence,
Bladed by the grans-green turf,
The windiug-nhect his form inclines,
Oil the cold stone his head reposes,
And near him foams the troubled surf.

" Roars around its base the ocean,"
Pensive sleeps the moon-beam there,
Naiads lose to wreath his urn
Dryads thither hie to mourn,
And fairies' wild notes melt 41 air.
O'er his tomb the ♦illage vi►gins
Lute to drop the tribute tear,
Stealing from the alleys round,
Soft they tread the hallow'] ground,
And weave the wild flow'r chaplet there.
By the cold earth mantled,
Peareftal sleeps he here alone,
Cold fad lifeless lira his form,
Batters on his grave the storm.
Silent now his tuneful numbers,
Here the Son of Genius slumbers ;
Stamps! mark his burial stone !

perceived, that there is an affinity between it and
►hat of the islands of France and Bourbott: we
hail therefore proceed to say senuethiug of the lat-
ter. These colonies, which are situate in the Indian
Ocean, 3 or 400 miles distant from Madagascar,
were almost' unknowo at the conclusion of Louis
the XlVtles reign, and in fact had no political exist-
ence before 1738, when Bourdonusie was appointed
governor of them. The tint inhabitants of those is-
lands were some Frenchmen, who had escaped from
the massacre to which want of their countrymen were
doomed by the natives of Madagascar. At this
epoch of the revolution, the exports of France, for
the isles of France and Bourbon, amounted to
4,600,000 francs, mid the imports of France, from
these colonies, at the same period, to 4,700.000
francs. These imports consisted entirely of Bour-
don coffee ; for notwithstanding. the Akins of M.
Puivre (who superintended the cultivation of the
two isles from 1770 to 1773) to raise spices, cloves,
mud nutmegs, not a *logic cargo of these valuable
articles has hitherto been brought thence to France.
There is a commerce carried on. as already stated,
between the two islands and the eastern coasts of
Africa, as also in the Auntie was, to which latter,
however, the late East Indus Company gave a con-
siderable check ; but at present the two islands
not ouly enjoy the privilege of a free trade
with India, but have at length seen the pro-
ject, origiiially formed by llourdonnaie, curried into
execution ; namely, the tale of France formed into
a rendezvous for all vessels trading to Asiu. By a
decree of the mouth of May, 1787, all foreign ves-
sels are allowed to enter Port Louis, in the said
island, without paying any duty.
flow far the cointiestree of France with Africa
may he benefitted by our noble resolution to abstain
front the detestable traffic in humsn flcAli, we will
not pretend to determine ; but we hilt every rea-
son to suppose, from the miserable state of the
French eolonies in America, that the humane, me-
ritorioys, and excellent designs of our Legislature,
in abolishing the Slave Trade, will not be couutcr-
acted through the means of French traders.

PRINCE EDIV IRD'S ISLAya

'CHARLOTTE TOW*. NOY. 15.
Since I wrote last to you, we celebrated the
birth-day of his Royal I lighlW4S the Duke of Kent.
I cannot say it was ushered in by the ringing of
bells, fur there is not tine on the island ; but there
was every other demonstration of joy : three levees,
at the Governor's (General Faiming's,) and the
Chief Justice's ; a bull and supper in the eve.iing,
given by Mrs. Desbauss, which was ciowded, and
due honour done to the excellence of the enter-
tainment. Many snags well sung, two especially,
by a Mr. Marsh, a new settler, just come out from
Liverpool. Mr. :Manners, the late Member for
Grantham, now our Provost Marshal, and Mr.
Holland, were joint Musters of the Cur sr and
Presidents of the Table. Our subscription balls
commence on the 17th, under their management,
but I bar we shall have no theatrical entertain-
ments, as the two Masters Howe, who plujed the
ladies' parts remarkably well, have declined, and
the theatre is converted into what it was originally
intended for--a hiike-Aumle.

Late as it is, we have had two arrivals for lum-
ber. Novenilwr 3, the Seet•a Sisters, Brownie,

this island, is ashore between this and Halifax ;
and it is also feared, that the .born, from St.
John's, Newfoundland, is lust; they both came
t•rutn Englund. It is also ninth feared, that the
Dart schooner, Simon eraser, Captain and owner,
with a cargo of grain and oxen, f hence, is to-
tally lost at Scenery Island, off Cape Breton, and
the crew, consisting of four persons, perished.—
During the American witr, the Sorest sloop of war
was wrecked in the same place. The brig Fa-
rourite, f Kirkaldy, in Scotlaud, which taok
the ground in going over the bar, and was so
much datnaged as to be sold on account of
•the Underwriters, has beets got off and repaired,
and will take home a cargo of boanls. The brig
