the capital town of Cardiganshire, in South Wales, is seated near the mouth of the river Teivy, on the Irish channel. It is indifferently large and well-built, containing three wards, one church, and the county-gaol. It is governed by a mayor, 13 aldermen, 13 common council men, &c. Here are the ruins of a castle which was built by Gilbert de Clare, about the year 1100. It sends one member to parliament; and has two markets, held on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
