We feel great pleasure in presenting the public
with the following very battering and honourable
Correspondence between the Mayor, Clergy, Gen.
tlemen, and other Inhabitants of the Town of
Oswestry, and C. W. W. 'Wgti x, Esq. who is
the Recorder 'of that place. The parties who
signed the letter, as a farther token of their
esteem f..r the high character and independent
conduct of Mr. %V Tmts, have subscribed a sum of
501. for the purchase of a piece of plate, wi:11
which it is Intended to present that tin!), ropect.
able person.
Sta.—in tbepreseat important Time, when the Morals of
poblic Men is general stand in such a vulticlutts light, yea,
Sir, with a Character unimpeached, and ituimpeacsabk,
A bit exemplary Conduct in private Life. with Abilities that
nowise will call in question, and with a Mind that has with-
-hood all Temptations of Ofier o job, Sir, hate stepped for-
ward in a nian.ser da a late Orcasii,o, which would have
done Credit to a Patriot of any Age or of any eou..try ;
you have bioaght to Justice a Ilan of hign Birth and great
Family l'ennezions, wan dared to tell premeditated False-
hoods, which. had thee not been detected, Would hate ma-
terially altered the Evidence in the Case of the qw e *of
YORK; a case of the last Importance to the. Cmntry,
greatly brought farw and by Mr. 'SV ARDLe. and greatly sty,-
ported by you and oils-e Members. This Ciarge, Sir,
against the Duke of Y PIK, appears to us, with respect to the
Army, to be of most material consequence, but much Ilwre as
to the house of Commons, as the Evidence printed far the
roe of the Members is also befire the People : (1.1 that (wen.
sum you delivered, in our Opinion, a Speech as creditable to
your Abilities, as the Vote you gave was to your Intl: it, ;
and here, Sir, we.heg leave to return you our nowt grateful
Thar.4s for both, and also fur your general 3trict Attehtion to
Parliamentary Bu'ine.s.
It is to yoa, and men like yonmelf, that the Country has
to look forward; for if Virtue is not to be found in Perioas in
the higher -t 'touts of life, we fear It will out evict long in the
lower, and then of course it will be impossible we can remain
an independent natioa.

MY DEAR SIR,

Lon'ton, 9.Bth May, ISO 9.

It has been with tile greatest pride n9d wills/action that I
bare r,reived.the hononriale testimony of approliatiou from
my friends and neighbour,which )on bare so kindly con-
veyed to me.

For my Conduct on the important Question lately before
Parliament, I have arm the Preni.uption to cnoeeive myselt
entitled to Merit, ail have only acted in Discharge of a
Duty, wai b, h iwever painful, was imperious and unatoll-
able ; bit it is most gratif.ing to my fie: sings to 117e1 that my
fientimeuts have coincideJ wit i tbose, upon who.e good
lawivoiis, 1 r.tail ev:.r set the highest V*toe.

rig lasklnhable maxim, " that after the Birth-
day 'it ialtelgor to Fa• seen in either of these

most of the Belies am( Beaus of qu ility, and John
Limit sad his fatally, of course, chiefly suppikti
their place. A few carriages were soli in the
Wire, as well at a numerous skew of equestrian%

A few of the summer in.tectg of
.fashion, attired
in the tropi:•al costume of light-retooled Legherto
anti straw hats, green spectacles, short coats,
(miry unit-seri, and dust.coloured shues, sported
their preityfigesres.

As soon as Parliament rises, very considerable
changes are to be made in all the subordinate Of-
fices of the State. The inquiries that have been
instituted, and still more so the inanities that nen•
apprehended, have forced Ministers to think of
establishing a more effectual check in all the de.
partments of Government. The War-Office is to
be new-modelled ; the Aecomptants' branch is to
be separated from the other, and a plan is de.
vised, for bringing up at length the'arrears of the
books, and to keep the accounts in future even.
A reform is else to be introduced iisto the Stamp
Office.
Government, it is said, has determined on con..
structing New Docks at Sheerness, sufficiently ca-
pacious to receive 74.getn ships. A bridge •over
the King's Ferry into the Isla of Sheppy is also
projected, on which 300 convicts are to be em.
ployed as labourers.
Lord Ham snoon has lately-ad/Jed very comi.
&rably to the value of his estate in Devonshire,
by gaining from the sea, by means of an embank.
meat, 175 acres of land, (enmity known by the
name of Chrism) Bay. The work was wider:
taken in the spring of 1806, and completed in the'
autumn of 11307. The expencea amounted ;t6
90001. and the regained land is valued at upettidil
cr 20,0e01.
On Thursday night, between clevemand twelve
o'clock, as Mr. GRIMALDI' the Clown, wee
turning from performing at Sadler's Wells, WC,.
gig, to his villa at Fitiehley, he was atoppeif
Highgate-hill, by three footpads, with bludgeon's,
who robbed him of a live pound bank.note,
ether property, with which they triode their escape.'
The prisoners charged with felonies will be re.
moved, on TnurWay, from the ditierent gaols, to
take their trials at the ensuing Qld Sevelqns,
winch will commence on the 28th init. The trials
its likely to posies' coosillentble- interest.

Each auxin& host, of ardetit .31 poorest, ,

Mine ardent zeal, nor eager could boast;

And e'en tgru singers, sorposiesid Of voice:
That throight has nearly stopp'd my scanty breath,
While, flitting past, appeata to frown Mecheath
Mibims and Crotchets seem to weep and wail,
And like King Richard's ghosts my ears assail;

" I go," undaunted ;--vure of kind support;
And throw niyolf thus boldly on the Cowl;

A mere attempt, to steal your approbation!
