and True Blues Corps of Yeomanry, tauter the denorniantioa
of the Loyal Bandon Legion, haviag sera in a late Putsiii-a-
lion a false and erroneous statement of our conduct no a reread
occasion, feel it our duty, as hell to satisfy the public mind,
as to prevent a reeurrrisee of similar trills-and • lodialle nar
Character, openly to tkciare to our Country the multitude of
our Brethren, and the world at large, the sacrcd- cause for
which the Bandon Yeomanry laid down their arms. Os the
6th day of July, !wing the first parade teller our Anuiver-
.ary, the ever-menuirahle Pint of July, we were ordered
for inspection by Cal. Auorial, our Brigade-Major. The
Corr.:imps tied On (heir respective private parades, wenrin:
that simple though grand ehararterisue of loyalty to thew
caps, an Orrtag,! Lily. (In all former oecit.ions,
Auorill, in common with hi, predece:aors, bestowed the
greatest praise on the Legion, for its high stale at
discipline and military appearance, brit being stimulated
by some of the &beers of the Legion, be now en-
tirely altered his tone, reprobating in the must innifthe;
terms, and in the most degrading. nrproachful, and murtif,y-

_aureate, the wearing that Lily. telling them it ~.15 nnl'
a bodge of cowardice, crying &moth.- Revolution under the
degrading appellation of our foreltelhers having -beaten a
foes unfortunate men, above an ustiodtval years ago, incased
us of wanting to trample tio them again, and declared that
although we wore that ithignia in our caps, we may have the
United Irishman's oath in ear pocketet that it,. uas not safe
togs tete Illefold with such men.—When he had thus given
Trait to every thing which had a tendency to Inflame and irri-
tate, be declared we must either take down the Lily or lay
down our arms; the latter command we instantly obeyed.—
Was this the treatment which our steady straices called for?
Were officers afraid to venture themselves with us n lien our
ofers of service were tendered mid accepted to any part of
the kingdom, in case of invasion or Rebellion ? Cali.uch con-
duct be defended? To heap charges upon arm who proudly
defy bath friends and enemies to select an instance wherein
riot to say a Rebel, even a suspected ;lemon was ever found
among their ranks. Perhaps we have remained silent Om to g.
Are not oar feelings to he respected an well as others ? Inca-
Aale of fear.„ hut fully capable of loyal love, we openly
am our sentiments as Protertants and ihvagenen, that
we will faithfully support his Majesty king -George the
Third, bis.erovra and dignity, the tans and comtitatioss of
these kingdoms, as delivered to us by our Gloria*. Deliverer
William the Third, of immortal inenowy, ar..l we further
declare, that we will not setae as Yeinnanry under an,
Officer or Olfwen, who are either afraid or flaitonleJ to wear
an Orange City, on our Grand Festival, at taw (wail of our
true-hearted columns; and we defy any man, or autnber
men, to cuatradict one assertion of this our public declaration.

The Spanish Shepherd dogs are widowed w ith an
uncommon share of sagacity.. So far holt being
the terror, it..teems, from their manner, that they
are conscious of being the guides and enardlans of
the flocks committed to their, ehArge. Those ohiels
have come to this country are of the size and shape
of English mastiffs, but marked somewhat like
spaniels or setters. The sheep are snial and in.
differently shaped, •not superior in appearance to
those which departure our commons. The Merino
seems to be an improved breed, and greaq bur.
rior to the common Spanish sheep.
One of the Brightoh stage _coaches was ov*.r.
turned just after its arrival in that town from Leo.
don, its Pavilion Parade, on Monday evissitig,
when several-persona were much injured. One
Lady, an inside passenger, had her cullar-hosse
broken ; a Gentleman without, from London, with
the sable plume from Mr. Thornton's, the Under.
taker, to attend the removal of the remains of Air.
Raabe (a West-India merchant, who expired at
Brighton a feu days.ega) had his thigh broken ;
s stable-keeper having motto* the hinder dickey
of the carriage, a sheet time before, the whole
weight of the coach :fell upon him, and so dread-
fully bruised him, that his recovery is considered
as exceedingly doubtful.
The wheat harvest has commenced already in Es.
sex, and in many parts in the neighbourhood of
the inetropolix, and will be general in most of the
southern cunnties in the course of the ensuing
week. In Cambridgeshire and Ilertfordshisre the
crops are rather light, in consequence of the want
of rain, but in most Why( parts they promise shun.
dant produce.
