The incidents are taken from a Welch Legend, com-
bined with historical facts, and there is a strict confor•
miyy with respect to the customs. manners, and habits
of the English and Welch in the thirteenth century.
The story runs this:
'Llewellyn, King of Wales. falls in a conflict with the forces a
Edward; but ere he dies, he beseeches his friend Caswallon (Mr.
Ifoutto), a Noble Cambrian, to fly from the field of battle, and to
save his daughter Eva (Jill.. Pitman) front the hands of the

conquerors. He obeys his Monarch, and succeeds in bearing away
the infant Queen of Cambria, whtim he rears up as his own
daughter. Years toll on, and he is at length informed that his
countrymen, under the command of two hardy Chiefs, Caradoc
and Hoel, are ready to rise against their oppressors. Aware of
their intention, Sir Roger de Mortimer (Mr. Ames) is en the
alert with the forces of King Edward, &nation to defeat the designs
of the mountaineers. Amongst those who serve under him, is Sir
Armyn Fitz• Edward (Mr. Coons), a Knight who is perfectly
ignorant, like many other Knights, of his origin. King Edward.
however, admiring his gallant bearing in vat laws arduous enter.
prises, has promoted his fottunes. Pits-Edward, in one of his
rambles in the mountains,• has had the good fortune to rescue Eva
from a situation of imminent danger. He is determined, before
Mortimer mares his attack on the mountaineers, to visit Kea, with
whose rank 'be is unacquainted, but whose manners and whose
charms have enslaved him. He meets tier and her supposed father,
Caswallon. and now. discovers that he is the son of the ancient patrio.
tic chief, and that his beloved is the last of a royal line. Thescene
which follows Is very good. Fitz. Edward refuses to assist his
country against a king who raised him from wretchedness and po..
verty to rank and pouter, while, on the other side, the new found
father repudiates his son as unworthy of the name of Cambrian.

—Fitz.Edward, torn by contending passions—love, for his father
and loyalty to the Prince who ;lad cherished him—retires. The
conflict between the followers of Caswallon and the more dies
chinned warriors. of Mortimer now takes place. The former are
defeated. Caswallon and Eva retire to a rocky paw, where they
are traced by Fit* Edward, who bisulfate to watch over the safety
of Eva, as her guardian angel. Here he encounters his, father, Im-
presses on hini the necessity of subniissioo, and assures him of the
cleniercy of Edward. But the sturdy patriot rejects all terns;
and Fitz Edward, conscious that he could, by his interest with the
King, procure his pardon, calls on the troops to advance and, seize
him. Ilia •is also • good scene melodramatically excellent.
Caswallon indignantly refuses to surrender. The entreaties
of his won are fruitless, and the pletdings of Eva are vain;
but when she commands him, as his Queen, to obey, be
who has no other feeling save the love of his country and of
its rightful Sovereign, submits. They are conveyed to Con
way Castle, where Mortimer has his head quarters. This chisf.l
tain becomes enamoured of Eva, and hopes by an alliance
with her to balffe his master King Edward, and to ascend the
throne of Wales. The more easily to accomplish his purpose,
he orders Caswallon sad.Eva.to be separated,a command which Is
effected with much difficulty,: but not until Caswallon, who
sus-
pects the purpose of Mortimer, furnishes Eva with a phial of poi.
son, and darkly hints to her that she should, if her fate happened to
be balanced between death and dishonour, boldly to embrace the
former. Meantime orders are given for Caswallon 's death, and
Fitz-Edward is directed to be kept in custody. He, however,
escapes, has an interview with the King at Chester. and arrives in
'lime to prevent the execution of Caswallon, and to effect the Ms-
eomSture of Mortimer; but he is too late to save the life of Eva.
The hateful address of Mortimer, and theapproaching destruction
of Caswallon, the only father she bad ever known, drive her to
desperation. She swallows poison, and her death ems in twain the
heart-strings of her devoted follower.
