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. Senior Physician to St. George's Hospital, of the
College of Physicians, &c.
CLINICAL I.acTuaas are given, as usual, on the Patients of
St. George's Hospital, every Saturday morning, at S o'clock. 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.

" 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.
" This is the first employment which she has made
her liberty in the midst of her accumulated diffi-
.ulties and distresses, and which liberty has cost
r, and will continue to cost her, so much blood'
Lnd so many sacrifices. Is it possible that when she I

ill not believe that-you will be thus disgraced—your
conduct, your repeated professions, the eminent

Igeablv, inalienable patriotism. Spain yet existi,

morning, though not more recent than some short
letters before received from the same quarter, will be
found worthy of a perusal.
