GEORGE-STREF.T, HANOVER-SQUARE, AND SAINT GEORGE'S HOSPITAL ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, a COURSE of LECTURES on PHYSIC and CHEMISTRY will re commence, In George-street, at the usual morning hours, viz. Therapeutics at eight ; the Practice of Physic at half after eight, and the Chemistry a quarter after 9, by GEORGE PEARSON, M.D. F. R. S.

Pro posali to be had in fleorge-,street, or at St. George's Hospital. No official advicQs have for some days been re ceived from the Peninsula, but Government are in hourly expectation of accounts from that quarter. It is not doubted, however, that Lord WELLINGTON has fallen back upon Ponte de Mariello. This position, which is centrical, covers Coimbra, and is on the high road from Celerico to Lisbon. This road leads through the most fertile part of Portugal. There is another road by Guarda and Castello Branco, which is very difficult, and passes through the mountains. The position of Ponte de Mariello is very strong. Perhaps Lord WELLINGTON may have gone with the main body of his army through the Valley of the Mondego, which is not so capable of being defended by a small corps ; and he may have left some detach ments at Guarda and at Castello Branco, which will be sufficiently seconded by the natural difficulties of the country in that direction. All this, however, is merely conjecture, nothing having been lately received by Government in an official form. OFFICIAL DOCUMENT.

" Inhabitants of Buenos Ayres, and Members of the New - ---mment ! In the absence of official accounts, the following letter from an Officer on board the SENIIRA?4IIS, which reached us this morning, will be read with some interest : " OFF CORUNNA, SEPT. 16, 1810. " We arrived at Lisbon from Plymouth on the 16th ultimo, with the Marquis of WORCESTER and suite on board, going on a tout through part of Spain and Portugal. We left Lisbon on the 16th ult. for Oporto, where we staid only two days, and then sailed for this place (Corunna.) We are waiting here for a Spanish Grandee, or Ambassador, and expect to sail to-morrow, to cruize 14 days off Cape Finisterre ; after which we shall return to Lisbon. " An Expedition is fitting out here, and nearly ready to sail, to go against St. Andero, consisting of the following force :-1500 Spaniards, 500 British seamen, and 200 Marines, from our squadron on this coast. 41 I shall transmit this by the Goldfinch. 14 On the 28th ult. the ARETIIUSA took a Spanish launch, with a French mail on board, which is re• ported to be of great consequence, as developing va rious important plans of the enemy ; it has been trans mitted home to Government. 66 Previous to our leaving Lisbon, Admiral BERICII• LEY had been elected Lord High Admiral of Por tugal, and gave a grand entertainment on board the BARFLEUR, his flag-ship. ce Your intentions may have been laudable, but the plans you have adopted under the direction of your seal, perhaps misguided, terrify those who, like my self, have been interested for you, and like myself are now more than ever anxious for your prosperity. The explanation I have just given, skews that your reso. lutions have originated in error, and their tendency is much too obvious to require comment. I fear you have opened Pandora's box, and that so far from pro ducing happiness in the beautiful part of the world to which you belong, disorder, confusion, and anarchy, will be the unfortunate result " If Buenos Ayres be indifferent to the honour, and insensible to the calamities of our unhappy coun try ; if she forgets these noble sentiments that have hitherto distinguished her; if she persists in a conduct that shall extinguish her former glory, and efface the - of victory and patriotism which have deco ated her brows, you, good inhabitants of Peru, of (Chili, aruk of the other territories of this part of the rid will, by your unceasing fidelity, vindicate the ar of South America, so unhappily compromised op that ill-judging capital. You are armed against -faction, and against domestic and foreign enemies, 0 will drive from your presence with iodignation - who spread false tales as to the condition of the country, afterwards to poison the public mind, to lead it. more successfully to ingratitude and Lrricide. " I have just learnt that an action has taken place at Elvira, but I am not acquainted with the particu lars, any further than that it was obstinately con tested ; and that, in the end, the enemy were defeated with great slaughter, and lost a number of prisoners. 46 Indeed, the Spaniards every where evince the greatest hatred of the enemy ; and at no time since the commencement of their struggle, has there been so bright a prospect of their ultimate success. " I have been to visit General MOORE'S Monument, for the erection of which melancholy memento we are indebte.l to our enemies. it has, however, been since considerably embellished and enclosed." ‘, This is the time that the Spaniards of both ought to draw closer the precious bonds by . , hich they are united ; now they should dissipate very breath of hatred, and fraternize and identity tnselves with each other ; now that the metropolis herself broken the chains by which you were op and declared her American children to be integral part of the Spanish Empire.

" LL MARQUXS DX CASA YRUJO. " Itio lasks, low 36, Imo." • OPORTO, SEPTEMBER 9. Massena has been obliged to send some of his forces to Navarre, Biscay, and Arragon ; in which provinces the people are in open arms. Romana has four regi ments of Portuguese cavalry with him, which are commanded by Brigadier-General Madden. A part of our army has again fallen back to occupy their old quarters at Torozello, four leagues from the Puinte de Mariella. Lord Wellington's head•quarters were on the 31st ult. at Celerico, Marshal Beresford's at Logeosa. Five or six. British officers were made prisoners at Almeida. We are informed here that the accidenret Almeida happened in the following manner : A train of gun powder communicated from one of the small maga zines to the large one, upon which some sparks fell from a match or candle ; the small one blew up a few moments before the larger, and prevented the explo sion of the latter being heard. The cannonade was tremendous on both sides. About 900 persons were killed and 400 wounded by the accident. Out of 400 artillery men, 25 only escaped. Massena proposed to exchange the regulars, but the Marquis Lorna (a Portuguese Gentleman, in the French service) would not agree to this, but wished them to join the French, which they refused. All the Militia were sent to their homes, with the excep tion of 18 men from each company, who are detained to repair the fortifications. The peasants, near Feixas, have taken a Lieut.:Mine', one Lieutenant, and 42 men, of the gear d'anan. The British troops have been actively employed in destroying the corn mills on the Coa. It is gr a fterally thought that ere long a battle must inevitably take place. The French rob, I plunder, and murder, wherever they wake their ap pearance. The men of the '24th Portuguese regiment on the 29th ult. entered the French service, and on the 4th instant nearly the whole fiad deserted, and joined at head-quarters. A division of 6000 militia, under General Miller, is at Chaves. Silveira is on the upper banks of the Douro,-and General Trent in the neighbourhood of St. J. de Pesqueira, so that if the French get near Vizen they will be flanked by the militia, who are very good troops. The French now have the whole of their force in the vicinity of Penhil. Including Regnier and Junot's divisions, it is esti mated at about 93,000 men. The latter is with Massena, who can bring 60,000 troops into the field. Should he advance against Lord Wellington, his Lordship will no doubt retire to the Punta rig Mur iella. We every hour expect to hear of this having taken place. It is said that 8000 troops from France have en tered Navarre. During the last four months Junot's division has experienced a lo►s of upwards of 10,000 men by desertion, sickness, and the sword. About 3.500 troops have been sent from Salamanca to the Asturias. We have just learned that n the 6th instant our advanced posts were at Trancosa, and Lord Wellington near Vizeu. Accounts have just reached town, that the French squadron at Chcrburgh have put to sea ; they chas ed the CAYENNE sloop of war. The Dotcr.oAt. and REVENGE are on the Cher burgh station. The KING,. accompanied by Princesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, attended by Lady ELY, Gen. FITZROY, and Colonel TAYLOR, rode on horseback in Windsor Park, on Thursday morning. Dr. POPE went from his house at Staines, on Thurs. day, to attend the Princess AMELIA, at Windsor, who, we are sorry to say, has had so much of a relapse, as to require the Doctor's constant attendance, as well as the Physicians from London, occasionally. The Royal Family at Windsor daily visit her Royal Highness. Yesterday Aldermen GOODBEHERE and PLostitn, Sheriffs elect Tor the ensuing year, were sworn into office before the Lord Mayor, at Guildhall ; and afterwards proceeded in the usual state to the Court of Exchequer, at Westminster, where they were in troduced to the Cursitor Baron in an eloquent speech from the Recorder ; after which, they went through the usual ceremonies. Orders were sent from the War.office, on Tuesday last, to Thame, in Oxfordshire, for the removal of five French Officers from that place, who had broke their parole of honour. They were, on Thursday, conveyed under a proper escort to Portsmouth, where they are to be put into one of the prison ships, off that port. A Gentleman from Berlin, who arrived by the Gottenborgh Mail, states, that the French had not entered Konigsburg up to the 14th instant. The re port of the removal of the Russian Ministry, and of the disgrace of ROMANZOYIP, has been revived on the Continent, but we believe on insufficient grounds. A Gentleman who quitted Holland on Monday, describes the situation of the merchants there as most calamitous. A decree had been published by NAPO LEON, assigning one-fifth of any commercial pro perty concealed, to the informer, who should dis cover it, and one-tenth to the douaniers concerned in the seizure of it: the consequence was, that servants in the closest connection with the Proprietors had turned informers, and a large quantity of effects that had been buried was brought to light. The report of a pacification having taken place be tween Russia and the Porte, is, we find, credited by some of the best informed persons in the mercantile and political circles. The preliminaries are said to have been settled about the beginning of the present month. According to the concurring opinion of those who have recently arrived from the Russian ports, a rupture with France is considered as inevita. ble. The necessity of a renewal of the ordinary in tercourse with this country, was pressed upon the attention of ALEXANDER from all quarters, and inde pendently of all other grounds of quarrel, peace with England was supposed to lead, as a matter of course, to a war with her adversary. THEATRE, COVENT-GARDEN.—The entertainments of last night were All is the Wrong and the Turnltile- Gate. .Mrs. C. Katances Lady Restless was a most finished piece of acting, and she exhibited the teazing and sometimes enraged dispositions of the fashionable termagant wilh great fidelity. Mrs. H. JOHNSTON was not inferior to any Belinda we have seen on the stage, and Mr. Yousces*Sir John Restless was as usual, a master-piece. In the after-piece BLANCHARD'S Grad kept the audience in a rear of merriment. His grimaces were irresistibly laughable. The pit was crowded, but the boxes were but thinly attealtd. Tuesday se'nnight the Magistrates and Council of Glasgow walked in procession from the Council Cham ber to the Low Green, where the Lord Provost laid the foundation stone of the new Court House, Public Offices, and Jail. Under the foundation same are de posited, the gold, silver, and copper coins of his pre sent Mojesty's reign, the newspapers of the day, sc• and a plate on which were engraved the names of the Gentlemen of the Magistracy and Council, and an appropriate inscription. In the east, or principakfront, which is to look to the Green, and which is to be em bellished with a spacious portico, with a double row of columns, are to be contained the Justiciary Court Hall, the Council Chamber, the City Court Hall, and the other Public Offices. The south front which is to look to the river, and the intended continuation of Clyde -street, and the north front which is also to look to a public street, are to form the Jail for debtors.— The west front is to form the prison for persons ac cused or convicted of crimes, and to contain the Jailor's house, the Infirmary, and Chapel. And within the buildings, there are t o be two C ourt - yar d s , for the purpose of - affording to the prisoners the be nefit of fresh air, without th e r i s k o f escape. A most dreadful thunder storm took place at Shef field on Saturday evening, which did incalculable mischief in the neighbourhood ; and near Norton Hammer a respectable fanner was thttwn from his bone, and killed on the vat. T ~ ~ ~ OF MR:GOLDSNID. The circumstances attending this Gentleman's p re . mature dissolution were withheld from the public in , our paper of yesterday, because it is a decided maxim 'with us, that all publicity given to crimes against the laws of nature, tend only to harass the feeling s of a well regulated mind, while the columns of our News. papers incontestibly prove that from some fatal sym. pathy in minds of a different description, the fre. quency of such crimes is increased in direct proportion to the interest which has been excited by their disci°. sures. The important rank in life, however, which Mr. Goldsmid held, renders it impossible to conceal from public ♦iew the facts which have come to our knowledge respecting his death, and we regret ta state, that he put a period to his existent* with a pistol, in a water-closet, situatein a part of the shrub. bery, called the Wilderness, at his house at Morden. He was discovered about eight o'clock mortally wounded, but not dead. Medical assistance was sent for, but he died at ten o'clock, in the bosom of his afflicted family. He was in the 53d year of his age, and till within the last fortnight in the most perfect enjoyment of all his faculties ; but the extreme irri. Cation of his feelings, from the pressure of the many intricate concerns in which he was involved, had, for the last ten or twelve days, preyed upon him so much that he w:►s visibly disturbed ; and in a moment of mental delirium, he committed this fatal act, which has deprived his numerous family of an inestimable parent, and the country of one of its most honourable and benevolent citizens. A man more truly amiable in all the relations of life never existed. He was in. cessantly employed in acts of friendship ; and though like every man of extensive dealings, he had to en counter the bitterness of opposition anclenvy, we never heard even from his most active rivals, any other than the most favourable testimony to his virtues. Of course it is impossible, as yet, to make even a supposition as to the state of his complicated affairs. The Public may form some idea of the extent of his influence on the money market, when they learn that the nev►s of his death produced an instantaneous fall of four per cent. on the funds of the country. Om. nium fell from 6 to 10 per cent. discount, and Con. sols from 65,E to 63. But in the course of the day they sensibly recovered, as our Readers will see from the Stock List. Mr. NATHAN SoLostoxs, his broker, communicated to the Gentlemen on the Stock Exchange, for their in formation, that his account there, as it is technically called, though considerable, was not so great as it had been on many former occasions—that the moment the Executors could examine the affairs of the deceased, the House should know the result, but he had not reason to believe that there would be any demur.—. His account with Government, we understand, is per. fectly clear—and the or.ly loss he appears to have sus. tained is by the fall of Omnium. It is said that on Thursday afternoon he discharged the labourers employed about his beautiful grounds at Morden—and shewed evident signs of mental dis. composure. He rose, as was his constant custom, by day-lighs, and was thus able to perpetrate the fatal act unobserved. Messengers were sent off yesterday, one to GEORG. ALCOCK, Esq. at Staines ; and the other to Mr. CHIN. blunt, Chief Clerk of the Treasury, now on a visit at Gilwell House, near Waltham Abbey, apprising those Gentlemen of the fatal catastrophe that had befallen Mr. ABRAHAM GOLDSWD, and requesting their immediate attendance in Town. A messenger was also sent off to the KING, at Windsor. The Coroner's Inquest will be taken this day. Mr. MoxoN, partner with the late Mr. ABRAHAM Gotosuirm, attended this morning, as early as half. past eight o'clock, at the Treasury, and remained in conference with the CHAXCILLOR op Till EXCHEQUER and other Members of Administration till eleven o'clock. Mr. HORNS TcocE.—A public sensation has been excited in the course of this week by the alarming state of health of that most distinguished literary and political character, Mr. HORNS TOOKZ. On inquiry, we find that but slender hopes aro encenained by his family and friends. He remains in a most exhausted condition, but very sensible and grateful for their kindness, and the exertions of his physician, Dr. PFAR• sox, whose attention to his friend and patient is above all praise. Aware of his declining state, Mr. Toots has been particularly anxious, during some months past, to complete a vault for his remains, under a plot of grass in the garden, near the north wall on Wimbledon Common. It is now ready for his re ception ; a handsome tomb-stone of finely polished black marble, about 8 feet long and 2 wide, with the following engraven epitaph was a few days by his own direction, laid down. May the awfu l man sion long remain untenanted l and long may it be 'ere she blanks in the inscription be filled up !
