There was a report on the Etchanle this morn ing, that Lard \b ELLISGTC. had litrt'Att'd a second tiaie, with still greater slaughter, than in the battle of (he Sierra de Busaco. We lament to say, that there does not appear to be the Tiglttest foundation for this rumour ; and we base reason to believe it was set on foot fur in terested purposes. The public anxiety, on this subject, is so great, that attempts to play upon it Ili!, be made by buso wretches, fur base purposes, till the result in Portugal is announced from autho rity ; and it will be well for the public to guard against these worse than pick-pockets. Our Letter from Yarmouth, received this day, states, that the Briscis p,un.brig, Lieut. BANTYM, has bad a smart affair with a French privateer, of 14 guns, and full of men. The privateer ran the Ilriseis alongside on Sunday night last, and at. tempted to carry her by boardiag, but wag, repulsed; 4t length the Br/4cis boarded the privateer and car ried her. We have lost in this affair four men killed and 10 wounded • the privateer 18 wounded. The Es.Quecn of HOLLAND arrived at Fontein. bleat' on the Bth inst.. The Queen 9f sr,tist was shortly expected to arrive at the same place ; and the repudiated Empress Josseuraz is wandering through Switzerland. It is said, AO it is the intention of Government to send British Officers to Minorca, for the purpose of training, disciplining, and organizing the de serters from the French armies, and other recruits collected in that islancl, after which, it is said, they are to be seat to Sicily. The folly of this need not (w? should imagine) be pointed out ! We are extremely sorry to Mate, that it is gene.' Tally believed, that the neguciation for an Uschenge of Prisoners has terminated in a way painful to all humane hearts. On that man, who tyrannizes over the country he rules, and over every country be can reach with his Power, on tie slain, the rc. protte,l4 of the agc in which his crimes have devc. loped tbemselvei, on him be the guilt! As we bc. Into observed, our government made concessions 'quite unusual on such occasions. They not only conceded to the caprice and cruelty of the ty. rant, what it was almost ridiculous, on account of 'its extravagance, for any 011 C to ask ; but they were reluctant to close the negociation while they deemed that any thing remained which it was possible to grant. th‘t 141CiPAVE did not mean, never did peen to agree, on aoy terms, to the E;changc, is vlain enough from his shifting of his ultimatum:, if ire can use this apparently contradictory language. At is plan too, froni the iiroposal which our Goverit. 3nette thought themselves bound to reject.' This pro. posal of the French gov or nment is said to have been—That for every 3000, French prisoners Jibe. • rated by us, we should receive only 1000 of our own countrymen (the greater part of who, have suffered u long and unjust captivity qf scp.c.nycars), and 200:4 Spaniards and Portuguese, but recently vaptured, whom we were likewise to have the cx. ponce of shipping and supporting to their own coon. try.--For tbeiake of those unfortunate persons who were so Nriuliodsly, detained at the breaking out of the war) we wish even this proposal had been com. plied wilt'. N.i) sacrifice that could be made for them could be' too great. Yet we are com. pvlled to a' cktiowledgo, that the proposition of the - Um:4lm I:meenott violates the princi p le of evitable exchange, and Governments are hound • by with:inks (when they act justly), and cannot give any latitukle they please to feeling. We really eonclutic, therefore, whatever we may wish, or bowevei much we may 14ment a great evil, that the responsibility far the sufferings of the prison. Lis, on both sides, rests upon the French Emperor ; ar:d we believe the whole world will he of the same opialon.—We shall be glad, however, to find that the iirgociatiou is not entirely broken off ; and vien, we recotameod Government to deviate from all rommua ruin, and Brant even the you unjust terms which are dCII,I3NdVd. fo a subiequen,t part of the Paper, we have thin in: k eited the manly and independent speech of • the mo, of cheltcnham, at the comas, ileeting at Gloucester, which dues equal credit to • • Lis head rind his heart. Sir SAMS SAUM‘itcz having understood, that the Empresi of RusstA occasionally bathed ricer 4ige, gave orders that nu rrniser should approach within ocuty:Gre miles oL Air pisteg, and wrote the Fon. irreas to that tOct. The guiperor f Ites4iA has written Sir JAMS! SA UNA REX a Very 4 • totter on the occasion. The report of the state of the Pringess received in town this day at two o'clock, We la anent to S2y, is very unfavourable. The Prineesti Aitcr.ta 'was on Monday night se4ed with it violent tit of coughing, which con, tinned for some time, and was the cansc of her Royal Highness being so much wtor.e on Tuesday. She had about two hun-ra sleep on l'ileaday night, took some strengthening refreshment, and appear. ed much easier yesterday morning ; hut upon the n hole, we are sorry to say, she was only cett , i. dered iu about the same state as on Tuesday. The Put:sec Duke of Yottte have returned to Windsor. On account of the afflicted and uncertain state of the Princess toiEL.I.I, his MAJLSTy has declined consiog to town, to hold Courts as usual on Wed nes& v, at the gneen's;Palace; but the state of the ptOlie business nut admitting any further delay, a Council was ycsierd iy held at Windsor, which was at , ,:.(ied by theAt.-.lhishop of C. NTERBU Ry, the Marquis WEt.r.istAv, Earls CAMDEN and I.tvER. POOL, Lord Jlul.cnave, Messrs. Pr.licET A y: pun, &c. 4t this mooing, we understand, the further prorogation of rarliament was determined on. The Duke of GLOUCESTER quitted Cowes on Friday se'nnight, crossed over to Southampton, and proceeded to Welter Park, where he slept that night, and on Saturday morning set off for Bagshot Park, in his way to Tunbridge Wells, where the Grove.house is taken for his residence. Captain Burton, who brought the dispatches from Portugal, was present when the battle was fought and decided, and has imparted several parti culars. Lord WIiTAiNGTON, although perfectly prepared, did not expect the enemy would coin mence the attack at that time. His Lordship's or. tiers to On; army were, " Should the enemy ascend the mountain, and commence kis attack, lel him approach new enough for the reception of a few vollies, and then follow hi, with the bayonet." This order was strictly observed. Captain Bunco says, tbat the most moderate computation of the • French killed and wounded, which had been made before his departure, very far exceeded 10,000. It had been ascertained, that Al asseNA's army was in want of every article of provision. The com bined army, on the contrary, were abundantly supplied, and the troops M the highest state of health and spirits. A mistake, it appears, crept into the Gazelle account of the Battle of Busaco, by which the praise intended to be bestowed by the Commander in Chief •ou the Forty-third Light Infantry Regi. ment, was erroneously attached to the Forty. eighth Regiment ; the Forty-eighth never having been attached to the Light Brigade. The skeleton of the 70th Regiment, under the command of Captain CAMLUON, is on the march to Tilbury Fort, where they are to embark for Scotland, there to be recruited and tilled up fur ser. vice again. The 4th, or King's Own, is imuediately to cm. bark for Portugal. A considerable quantity of the spherical case snot also to be sent out by the same convoy. Major NArttg, 50th Regiment, is severely wounded in the face, but we ar.• happy •to hear nut dangerously ; he wrote to his family on the fourth day after the action. Yesterday a Baliot was taken at the East India [louse, on the following; Question, which was de. dared by the Scrutineas to have been Carried in the affirmative, viz.— " That Court confirm the unanimous Revolution of the Court of Directors of the IA instant, whereby the Commander ai! ()woe ri of toe ship A are fully to-mimed from all Im putation of neglect or unseeeduct respeit to the Jou of that .Yesterday a court of Directors was held at use Fast India House, when the undernientinned Cap. tains were sworn into the command of their respec tive ships, viz. Captain R. 11. BnowN, Dorset.. shire; It. Nisac'rr, .Z.SSCX; T. 11. WitAlNsot, Cumberland ; for Bombay and Cltina....l.Wonos. WORTH (N. S.) Earl of ilbergavenny, for .China' direct. The Court adjoUrned at six o'clock till Wednesday next. A French vessel, proceeding from Taranto wi th soldiers, Won:4in ,, the 11th battalion of tight i n_ Pantry, to reinforce the garriton of Coyn, has been met by the Uniti frigate, and b.y her taken and sent into Messina. • A vessel called the Aratia Josephs arrived at Lisbon, on the .7th ult. from Monte Video, from whence slit; sailed about the 10th August. Adviecs have been received by this opportunity, that on the approach of the military expedition which lett Bue nos Ayres fur Cordova, to suppress the insurgents, t.;euerat LINIEUS had abandoned his situation, and was retiring into the interior with only about 200 or 300 men. It was presumed that he would kis over. taken, as he could nut cross the Cordillera moun tains at that season of the year. A learned author talking to an accomplished and beautiful woman, held her hand between his dur. ing the conversation ; when helot it go, a person in company exclaimed, " That was the finest work that ever came out of your hands.". In a v , ry thin house an actress was speaking very low in her communication s with her lover, when the actor, with a face of woeful humour, exclaimed.— " My dear you may speak out, you see there is, no one to hear us.'' The project of making an archway through Shooter's Bill it said to be again revived. What with arch.t.wAs among the men, and' arqh-ways among the women, honest John Bull Ail) not be left a plain a ay to go by. The last Stage Coach Act seems, not to have had its effect, as from defects therein, and errors .in the informations filed against the violators of it, not one of them is brought to conviction. Thcro should he a clause in all Acts of this discription thaA no conviction skull fail by reason of technical itfor mality.

We hare reetived from Yarmouth the melancholy intelligence of ,the loss a two large Dantzic ships upon the Whitiiig, laden with wheat ; one the Aprio, Captain Brockman, of 800 tons ; the other a fine new ship, commanded by Capt. Jansan, also laden with wheat. A galliut was likewise totally lost upon the Whiting, and all hands perished. The crew of the d pries, on her striking, jumped into the boat, while the Captain and Mate were in the cabin examining the ch.►rt. Thu Mate, upon the ship's striking, ran upon deck, and seeing the dan ger jumped into the boat, which put off and left the Captain on board, who seeing himself thus Akan. Boned. and the shipgoing to pieces, got upon the mast and remained in this perilous situation all night. In the morning a boat from the shore put off and saved him. •We are. sorry to say that one of his hands is •so dreadfully bruised, that he will-be obliged to have 'One frngellidiputated. The Anfang, Capt. Clasilta, was also on. the Whiting, but was got off, and put into Harwich, full of water. These ships formed part aff,the fleet which arrived off Yarmouth last Tuesday week d u ring the gale 9f wind from the eastward. • They made land in the afternoon; night was coming on, it wls blowing a gate of wind dead upon the laud; and only two pilots to be had, who had been at sea all night. Our Correspon'denr serves, that if the Commander of the Convoy had not thought proper to lay by the wind till morning, he might have put the two pilots on board the two largest ships of the convoy, with an officer and flags to tnancouvre the fleet till day.hreak ; then most likely not one ship would have been lost ; but the men of war, on approaching the 141641, sailed away precipitately, and left the ships of the, convoy to provide for themsclves. On Mar day se'nnight Mr. LANCASTER delivered his Lecture on Education hi the old Theatre, itt Edinburgh, to tt numerous and highly respectable audience. Front thence he proceeded to Glasgow, u here he dilivered a Lecture in the Trades-ball, and was afterwards visited by the whole Synod of Glasgow, with their Principal, in a body. By particular request, Mr. LANEASJER returned to Edinburgh, where he gave another Lecture on Fri. day night. The house was literally an overflowing one, out of- the proceeds of which, he, with his usual liberality, have 401. to . works -14 charity. The boys in the Duke of KENT'S regiment (now stationed at Dunbar) who arc educated accord ing to Mr. LANCASTER'S plan, were exhibited on this occasion befoie the audience in Edinburgh, and were received with those enthusiastic marks of applause with which such a similar demonstration of the excellence of the system has uniformly ex perienced. Schools upon Mr. La.Ncavrea's plan in those places are in great forwardness. A man arrd his wife, who were left in the care of a gentleman's house in . Mary.le.bone, disposed of the greater part of the pe.'Cwerty at differenF pawn. brokers; and on the man 4eing taken into custody yesterday, no less than one hundred and ninety. live duplitates were found in his possession.

The following story, related the lewd Mt, H ENn y STEeIIENS, iii his Preparatory Treatileb tlerodotus, p. 9.35, is a remarkable instance of the extreme ignorance of some of the persima to applied fur Orders in his days. Ile says, that a man applied to a Popish Bishop, a n d b e a ga g e d this question, to try his learning and suffwairey— Who was father to the four sons of Armee? sec 1 knowing not what to answer, was refused as insufh. • cient ; who, returning home to his father, and showing the reason why he was not ordained, his father told him he was a very ass, that could not tell who was father to this fuer was of Asnns. See, I pray thee (quoth he), yonder is Gaesr Jody the smith, who has four suns; if a man should ask thee, Who was their lather, wouldst thou not say, that it was GHAT Jong the smith ?" Yes (tooth he), now I understand it; Thereupon lie went again, and being asked a sr. Gond time, Who was father to the four suns of A Y/40N Ile ausWered, " was Great John the smith!" Mouthy evening, about eight o'clock, a young man, •collectiug clerk to a wholesale house in the City, had his pocket picked of his brok, cottain. ing Bank-notes and 10,11 to a large amount, at was passing near the Old Bailey, in A few days ago, two wretches, one the Master of the Poor-house, at Minster, in the Ise of Sheppey, and a fellow employed to work in the garden, were taken into custody, charged with bar. int; been guilty of a detestable crime, and were con. veyed to Sittiogbourne, in Kent, where Iney were examined betore a Alagistrate, upon the evidenced a woman of respectability in the neighbourhood. The fact was established, being corroborated by other persons. The Prisoners were fully comroitteit to Canterbury gaol, to take their trials at the nest Assizes. On Tuesday another forgery was discovered at the Bank. An old man, who resides in' Ryder. 1 street, St. James's, has long been in the habit of 1 acting at the Bank as a Broker, and employed by • many persons as such ; he leas front time to limo received from them sums of money to purchase stuck for them, in return fur which he gave then receipts, as if he had purchased its their names, but these receipts prove to be fort - cries, and no stock. purchased fur them.
