To The Editor Of The Time...
Greenwich., Oct. 7. Sir,-Within the last two years thls town has been afflicted with a qarterly nuisance in the sbape of a number of drunken Lowland ba er8,shoemnakers, tailors, &c.,nasqaeradingin the Highlandadress about the streets and in the park. The kilts of some of these wor- thies, to show their utter contempt of cold, custom, and common decency-, are worn in such amanner as to exhibit half of their wearera' rmeagre thighs, whilst their hose, as if to apologise for the rude rise of their kiltg, are drawn up to their knees their bonnets skulking hack to the napes of their necks, and bedecked with such a profutsion of feathers, as if they had deprived the moiety of the neighbouring polrof thei plumage ; and their dirks and pistols (for they wear bhT as if ashamed of their wearers, ensconce themselves in their armpits. Thus attired, thus armed, and preceded by a piper, they perambulate our streets, to the disgust of the decent inhabitants, and of the few rea H eghlanders who reside here. I hope, AMr. Editor, thsat you wMl iniert this letter In your restpect- able journial, in order that the good people of this town may not mistake these druniken brawlers for mpn countaymen, who, I amn proud to say, arc not more famous for their daring in the field, than for their sobriety and decency in the camp and in the city, and which conduct procuired fort them, during their residcene in Brussels in 181d. the honourable designation of"1 Les dozx Wo ntagncards Ecos. .rais." At the samne time it may caution these soi.disaont Pighsland gentle"en, when they again assume the Zionas' ?ddee, to abstain frnm -.1 ...l. 11 Um, b1r, drC., iFIAR GADHAEL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
