The subjoined Ballad h the-Pt:eduction of an honest and lord
Shoemaker, in the pleasant Toad of Leominster, 137 miles
from London. We regret to add that the Author of this pa-
triotic effh.ion wa4 made the object of a cruel haat, in being
brought up to London' on a pretended invitation to wait upon
the PRINCE Et IGEN'r, to Whom his Ballad Is inscribed. We
trust that those asks wh• have amused themselves at this
loyal Son of Crjspin's espence, will reimburse him for his
fruitless visit to Carlton House. In the mean time-it is grati-
fying-to know that, thanks to the hospitalities of this princely
Mansion, and to Colintel IWMA HON who diSperiltS them,
Mr. CARTWRIGHT met with a kind and consoling reception:
WELLINGTON'S VICTORIES.

A Patrfoiie Song, written and dedicated to his Royal Ilighnesa
the PRINCE REctwr, by his loyal ullject•and servant,
W. CARTWRIGHT, Of LEOSISHISter.
Ye Briton', look up, see what wonders are done
By our Army commando' by Lord WeLativo•roN ;
That Name ever dear tf6 an Englishman's heart,
By hint we shall conquer the great BONAPARTE.
At the great Salamanca, a Victory we gain,
Where hears upon heaps of the Frenchmen were slain;
The Generals and Men they all seem'd in alarm,
And M.tastotr he fled from the field with one arm !
The next was Vittoria, how glorious the sight— •
Where the Army united like lions did fight ;
Their cannon and baggage we took on that day,
And JOSEPH and JOURDAN they both ran away.
A Batton they took, that most beautiful thing,
And the great Sword of Stale, which was worn by the King;
Awl to prove that the Victory was most complete,
They sent them to lay as the PRINCE RitIENT'S feet.
Then. Sou LT he was sent for express from the North,
Who, on his appointment, plighted his troth ;
And the very last words be to BON Y did bay,
" be in Vittoria upon your birth-day!'
Then the Marshal rush'd forth, like a 'shot from a gem,
Deterinin'd to conquer the great WsLutrea•rox,
And took ail the t. cops that in France he could find,
And in front of our army he formed his line.
Then I:ity LT through the ranks" Vive l'Empereur"6l cry,
A secoud Goliah—full seven feet high
But llri:ons, like tigers, they soortstopt his fun,
And he met with a Davits in Lord WELLINGTON.
Now the Battle more dreadful than any befre,
The cannon and mortars like thunder did roar,
'l,ll novvi, overpowered, drew back by degreel,
And they tumbled him down from the great Pyrenees.
Wow behold for a moment what GR AHA ht has done,
• In taking the fortress of St. Sebastian,
Dttfe ded by nature and art as they say,
ommanded within by the great General RAY.
I 4 u they mounted the breach, over hears of the dead,
bile the cannon, like thunder, play'd over their head,

Anil the Sailors assisted by sea alias while,
TIM the place it was ta'en in the most gallant style.
Onr.rmy is now in the front of Bayonne,
O waiting the signal to press further no,
To 'wattle Allies, and to join hand and heart,
Then Pari3 they'll ke, and bring out BON nr.% RT C.
Then Peace shall be sign 'd with the armies In sight,
Each Kingdom and. State be restor'd their just right,
Ai.d trance will enjoy her own Sovereign again,
And the *hole to conclude with a hearty Amen !

At Nottingham fair, on Monday the 7th, the price
Elf good horses was 20 per cent. lower than it was at
the preceding fair there, probably owing to the pro-
, .
spect of Peace. Fat cattle, and good ones of the
store kind, maintained• their former prices; while
those of inferior quality were considerably lower ;
milch cows are also stated to have fallen in price.—
Prime dairies of cheese, of which article there was a
tolerable supply, sold from 70s. to 755. ; blend milk,
from 60s. to 635.

dington, was robbed on Saturday last of plate and
Other articles, to the amount of more than e? 100, by

open on Sunday night, while the family were at Cha.
pal, and plundered tiegl2o2 and his Ipstch,._Al though...,
auNicion does not att.ich to any particular individuals;
yet it is obvious the plunderers must have been well
mcquainted with the premises, as the place in which
the property was kept was the sole object of their At ack.
Friday last a melancholy accident happened at
Diss. A person in the employ of Mr. Dyson, in

manner, and killerhisn on the spot.
On the evening of Monday se'nnight a quarrel took
.place on one of the streets of Irvine, between some of
the inbalsitants of that town, principally sailors, and
some of the soldiers of a detachment of the '27th re-
giment of foot quartered there, which unfortunately
ended in blows, and the latter finding themselves very
roughly handled, it is understood one of them ran to
his quartets for a loaded nun, and on his return shot
,Allan Hutton through the heart with a musket bul-
let, who iltstantly expired. Hutton, by trade a
weaver, was a strong, robust man, and has left a
wife and family to lament his loss.—John M‘ltionus,
