WELSH INDIANS.

[From the Shrewsbury Chronicle,' April 20.]
If our readers are not wearied ivith this sub-
ject, we believe the following narrative is more
worthy of credit than many other staterneuts.of
this kind :—"Understanding,that your Paper has ,
the circulation in the Principality,- I have taken
the liberty to trouble you with the following ac=
count of the Madowgiaid, or Welsh Indians;
which I had from the mouth of a Gentle Man,
who had been himself amongst them. Ile said,
Whilst travelling in the month of May, 1818,
with 12 persons,
,through a wood, in the state of
Indiana, bettveen the river Ohio and the Illinois,
several hundreds of miles to the north-west of
the Allegany mountains, we were attacked by
several tigers, .who immediately devoured the
horses of our caravan, and afterwards all. my fell
low travellers, with the exception of one, who is
a native of Carmarthenshire. We both made -
our escape by climbing up to the top of a large
tree, where we took shelter for the night. The
next morning, being very hungry, we Ventured
dOwn .to the caravan, to see if we could find any
refreshment, but to our great disappointment all
was taken away by the Indians, as we supposed. ;•
On turning from the caravan, we discovered
smoke a little- further down in the wood, towards •
which we ventured to go ; when we came near,
we found it proceeded from a fire which was in ;
the centre of a small hut, around which there
were 26 Indians, quite naked, with several large
hunting dogs, and bows. and arrows. Dating some
pieces of money about us, we,gave some to the
Indians (which they were very ready hi taking), •
then we put our hands to our mouths, to signify
that we wanted something to eat ; afterwards they
immediately slaughtered one of time dogs, flayed,
and then roasted it, When I observed to my corn-
paniou, in my native language, Mae hyn 'r
z,i,e II la Tigers,' when, instantly to mygreat -
astonishment, one of the. Indians rose up, pitt his
hand on my shoulder, and said, Owyddovt li eio
hiuith ni;' being overcome with jo.y at such an un- •
expected address, I said,' Gwn.' We feasted on
the roasted dogs, which proved a delitioas meal to
us. We conversed with the Indians the whole of
the evening in the Welsh language (they know
other) respecting different things. The next dad
they accompanied us (the women carrying the
dren on their backs, in wicker baskets) upwards
of 30 miles, on the road towards the state of Ken- ~
tucky, which we reached after travelling rine
days; in the greatest distress, hating nothing til'•
subsist upon but the acorns that 'fell from the
trees ;,,the Indians were very friendly, and would.

• We feel much pleasure in stating, that almost
the whole of the operative spinners who had befn
out of work in this town for the last three greelcs,l
are now in full employment; and we understand
that the remainder are expected to re-Coannence,
their labours on Monday next.—(Preston Citron*/
In the night of the 18th inst. the White ffoW,
Inn, Spilsbury, Lincoln, was entered -by tbieve9/
by means of perforating with a centre-bit 6°
window-shutterS of one of -the 'rooms On 11°
ground floor, who succeeded in carrying off pl -

and money to a considerable amount.
On ThurSday evening a seizure was made 13
Arnragh, of a description not less extraordinary
tban novel: As the mail coach had received the
mail, frorn'the' Post 011ice,.arid was on the eve °-
departure for Newry, Mr. Brady, officer, of l'';
cise, accompanied by an officer's party of
Rifle Corps, made his apinarance and inOnss:i
derquence of information previously received, p-a
the coach and horses, with their trappings ou`,,
seizure, as being the medium resorted to for b
, I,er
conveyance' of smuggled tobacco.- The.oll`Loi
having Made his seizure, proceeded in oursilitred
the tobacco, five rolls of 'which were discevv
er
'i,
in.or on the coach. The very extraordinary ~
curnstance of the Royal Mail Coach being his
sorted to as a vehicle for praCtising frauds' int
,d
Majesty's Revenue, excited no small degree ;*
surprise, and attracted a considerable num°
er
spectators into Scotch-street to witness the
cessful stop and detention of a mail coach v;
uhlw
impunity. Mr. Brady, unwilling to canse P
Jed:
or individual inconvenience, had the mail 1'0;11.4,
to the Post Office, and permitted the passeljgd 0a...
with their luggage, to withdraw, and,•we
stand, even offered to allow the coach to prose`
provided a sufficient guarantee was affordeti vats
him for their safe return and'delivery,vhich tioa
declined. After every effort at negoCia'
proved futile, the mail was forwarded 014-11::11
back by a mailp,uard; The coach was. then
to the King's . Stores, and the horses to 11-si'
o"
provided for their reception, whereHthl.s t. the.
seizure now remains to await the decisio"°/iserl,
