F.dtnhrtrgh, Nov. it.
On the 27th Jnly tail, M.irrs. L— and K— being
on a pedestrian excur flon through Wales, an purfuit
of the pieluiefyie beauties and antiquities of that
country, flopped at the little village of Carew, in
Pembrokelime, arraftesi by the venerable appear-
ance of the remains of its formerly magnificent cattle.
Being informed that the key of the gate of the field
in whir!) the ruin is lititated. was to be obtained at a
fmall alelinufe in the village, they proceeded to it, and
called f r f me ref-refitment, which Was loon let befitre
them by the good woman rf the honk. In the ad• 1
j,ining kitchen were Seated Abp rit halt a dozen men,
whole appearance, together with that of their horfe•,;
which were tied at the door, iodic aced them to be I
Imall larmer,, or cattle di iver,. They were ettgaged
in a warns debate alyut the land-tax, which was in-
Ipired lav invigorating draughts of CW7 w or Weld 2
ale. 0:1 01-delving our two pedea: hop. feated in the
chamber adjoining, their converfa:i,,n was fuddenly
hurtled into wlapers, and numerous wet e the fit fpi
ciotis and ingoiring glances that were thrown on them
hy the party: Having finiffied their ln*ch,and paid the
mold woman what the dematoled. the two gentlemen
afkeh for the key which would admit them to the
cattle. At this respell the whole party feetned in
a moment to have their infant doubts reared into
certainty. The old woman in scle no aufwer, but
made as batty retreat as paliirle by hnbb!i' g out off
back door : the little knot of politicians flatted up
with evident marks of alarm, and a boy who was in I
the place fought immediate tehige by ferambling
under a bed, overfetting every thing itt his evor.— I
Ationifhed at this Strange ktrie of conftifion, our I
two friends demanded the cattle ; when, alter fome
whifpering, one of the party who teemed to have a
larger portion of retClution titan the tea, replied,l
they had peat doubts that they were not of their
country ; "certainly not." anfwered Mr. L—, we
travelled from London."—" Ali ! no," replied the
other, " we fulpeft you to he outlandifh-men."—
" What the devil," alked L—, " do you mean by
uurlandith men ?" " Fienchmeri," laid the fellow
grinning, with augmented horror and alarm. " French-
men and (pies ut Bonaparte, come to take plans of
the cattle." Amuled with the tidiculous alarm which
was depifted in the fellow's countenance, L— endea-
voured to convince him of the absurdity of his no-
tion, by producitz proofs that they were not what
he lock them for, and at lull Incceesied 1. far as to
get the key from him, whilit Mr. K. by means of
. a volley of true old Englith abole on the tea of the
party, was giving vent to the patrons which the cit.-
' cunistances had excited with aflaehcy which might
have convinced the mull fceptical anionga them.—
] The two gentlemen now entered the gate, but ob-
i ferving as they walked on towards the ruin that the
!doubts as well as numbers of the party at the •tle
houfe d' feemed to increafe, feveral knots of two,
I three, and four having jained the main b tcly, and
their gellures and exclamation:, amongst which that
of " French Spies, French Spies !" was pre-eminent,
being evidently lodide teeing that they wete aiming
with clubs, fcythes, and hedge bilis, and recollecting
the fatal effects of a similar adventure recorded by
Mr. Warner in his Welfh tour, as happening at St.
Donat's,_ the two ftiends were led to doubt whether
the Welatmen's :teal for the good of their country
might not hurry them on to fume rafh extremity.—
Initead, therefore, of giving the ruin a very cur!cry in-
fpeetion, they clambered over a high wall at the other
tide of it, with all the expedition they were able ;
croffed a field ; fcrambled over two ur three fences,
and at length, with fome difficulty, fecuted an ho-
nourable retreat into the Pembroke road.
