[Prom Tots NOTVINGUJI‘

On Monday evening last, Mr. Lancaster.delivered
a .Lecture on his System of Education, to a most
respectable and crowded audience, in the Long
Roots, at the Exchange. Ile was repeatedly cheered
with the most flattering testimonies of general ap-
probation ; slid his reception, indeed, was so fa-
vourable, that'ws cannot but augur well of the be.
neficial results of his benevolent endeavours in this,
town. it would be as indelicate, as unnecessary,
to offer any critique on the merits of Mr. Lancaster,
as an Orator and Lecturer; but it may not be im
proper to observe, that he illustrated and enforced
his principles with admirable ability and effect. Ha,
evinced uo inconsiderable skill in enlivening the te..l
diem of a long lecture, by the introduction of many'
well-timed and . appropriate flashes of wit. The
merriment hereby excited, afforded a temporary re.
, taxation to the winds of his auditors, and better fit.,
ted them for receiving and attending to the morel
grave and solid parts of his discourse. He made
some, very feeling allusions
.to the patronage which'
he has experienced frees the King and Royal Fa. 4
mill, and took 0CC36100 to animadvert, with evil.
dent emotions of gratitude and satisfactiou, on the
beneficence of the former, . and on his affable de.;
pertinent towards bho, when he was admitted loth.
Royal Preaolte.e. The priacipitas of his plan were,
in same instances, illustrated by the performance
el boys from the Lancastrian School in this Own
and, in others, by the exhibition of drawings. The
Lecture, throughout, was tre,.ceived wish evident
testimonies of approbation, as well as with repeated
plaudits, ind, before the company dispersed,
.the
proposition was suggested and adopted of transmit.
tin a Requisition to the Mayor, to convene a ,
Meeting of the inhabitants of this town, for the per.;
polie of establishing, on a broad and permanent
basis, the. Lancastrian System of Education, under
the gratuitous auspices of the Inventor. The Mayor
has, in consequence, appointed Tuesday, the 27th
instant, fur the Meeting; and as it has for its ob.
jest, the instruction of Jim poor and helpiess, we
cordially offer our wishes for-the success of it, and
our humble tribute of praise to the motives and en.
dcavours of Mr. Lancaster.

On Monday last, Messrs. Bleckner, Harper,
Carver, and Atkinson, who had been imprisoned is
month, at the snit of Mr. Nunn, on a charge..or
having attempted to obtain an advance of waste,
were conducted from onr Town Gaol with a large
and welt regulated band of music, and the cheerful
greetings of a great concourse of spectators, who
had assembled on the occasion, and who attended
them in the same triumphant manlier to the Sir Isaac
Newton public.house, the usual place of their Coin.
mitten Meetings, where a most excellent dinner was
serted up to about eighty, at the expence of the
landloid and his friends. The cloth being with.
drawn, Kr. Waterfall was called to the chair, after
which, Mr. Bleckner addressed the Company in a
short but pointed speech, declaring, in the name of
himself, and of his colleagues', that no considers.
tiun could hate iuduced them to have been con-
ducted from prison in the meaner they had been,
but the ticcessitf there was for public sentiment to
stamp the pabheacte of men mho act in a public
capacity. Public ieutiment, continued be, is a kind
of intuitive moat, Winch plates a barrier between
Vivre. and vice ;It pioclaFmii the sufferings of the
virtuous, and the crimes of the vicious; 4nd to it Is
owing the preaervatiotiof the British Constitution,
amidst the almost uultersal wreck of Civil Liberty.
In the course of the evening, many excellent
songs were sung, and the musicians displayed much
ability. The following toasts, among many others,
were drank with great applause :
The Enlarged Priscseers, and the cause in which they suf.
fired.

. 0' Sir Stapleton Cotton conducted the retreat
of the cavalry- from Pinhel to Busaco, about 137
miles, covering the whole of the British and Por.

-ferior to the French. They were repulsed In ere , t
.attack, and in. several instances we became lho:d -r 1
•tackers ; and the same good fortune folloeted mil
from Busaco` to the lines. Without au exteptiobl
do any one day, from the 15th September to the
40th October, we had to contend with the enemy,
Lobo was• always pressing as; ,Itit never moving

my are equally brave, but thi weight of our horses
bear down all opposition they can meet with from
the bad sort of animals the French ride. This
campaign has done us great good. Our fellows are
now so mochsoecustomed to fire and fatigue as to
care little about the latter, and always to seek the
fororcr. A British army never experienced, in any
of our wars, So severe a campaign as this has
been for the 'Cavalry, either with regard to fight.
4ng or fatigue. The Infantry, excepting the light ,
divisions, the 42d, 53(1, and 95th, &e. at Bessi-
e% have not fired a shot since the battle of Talave. i
re, or slept out of their beds. the Cavalry have
now the advantage of them ; they are in position,
`and the Cavalry in villages, and, excepting re-
connoitring parties and small piquets, quiet. At
Busaco the Cavalry did nothing. The armies are
now looking at each other, and our sentries are
within call of the snooty, who, we suppose, is
waiting for reinforcements. Our position is strung,
mid Massena, to whom we do not give credit for

ty, dare not attack. Our efficient force is 310.,000
Infantry, and 2360 Cavalry, British ; and 21,000
of the Line, and 14110 Cavalry, Portuguese; be-
sides a considerable force of Militia aiid Ordinan-
cies (or levy-en-masse). The French, of course,
are taking all precautiuns against attack from us.—
I think Massena is got into a scrape, from which
he knows not bow to extricate himself. If he at-
tack, it must be soon; in fact, he must fight or
retire very shortly, from two strong causes—lst,
his army is now literally lo want of necessaries (as
the numerous deserters inform us); and 2ally, the
rainy season is now commencing, which will swell
the, rivers, in as to prevent his pasting either the
Tagus, Mondego, or Zezere, some of which .ri.
vers, or perhaps all, he will most likely fall behind,
if he purpose to remain until spring before lie et.
tacks. The army is at present very healthy, and
most anxiously wishing another attack."
The fleet under Sir Charles Cottod anchored at
Mahon us the 7th of October, after a six months'
cruise, to complete their water and provisions.
They were joined on the 13th by tbe Terneraire and
Eagle, and the whole were to sail on the 14th, to
resume the blockade of the French fleet in Toulon ;
where the enemy have, in the outer-road, 11 sail
of the line, and four in the inner harbour. A few
days previous to Sir Charles Cotton's leaving his
station for Mahon, the Commander in Chief of the
French fleet, with threesill of the line, stood out
of the harbour to manceurre as the French ships-
frequently do. Sir Samuel flood, in the Centaur,.
with that spirit of cnterprize and sound judgment
for which he stands distinguished, seeing that the
French Chief had ventured out a little farther than
usual, instantly made an attempt to cut him off, and
he as nearly effected it, without actually succeed-.
ing, as was possible. The French ships skulked
into the roads, and discontinued their manceuvres
for that time. The brave attempt of Sir Samuel
excited the admiration of all the ships in the fleet.
Sir Charles Cuttun left the Warspite (the Hon.
Captain Blackwood), Euryalus, and Blossom, to
watch the enemy, whilst the fleet refitted at Mahon.
Rear-Admiral Fremantle' had shifted his flag to
the Ville ae Paris. Captain Thomas (who is
come hothe after nearly seven years absence) was
superseded, pro tempore, by Captain Beaufort,
and Captain Stewart had taken the command of the
Blossom. Captain Honey is gone out to command
the Ville de Paris. Sir Samuel Hood is not corn.
inthOrne. It is wished that he should remain en
the station. Admiral Martio continues Erraternso
for the winter. .
The French frigates driven on the rocks of St.
Vault, near La Hogue, as related last week, re.

Sir Joseph Sydney Yorke, it is said; will hoist
his lag on board the Vengeur, , 74, Capt. Liesswn,
which is fitting as a flag-ship.
The French prisoners which arrived here from'
Portugal, under convoy of the Dotterel, are not,
as stated in the Louden papers, part of the garrison
of Coimbra, but captives, whom the chance of war
has long thrown into the hands of the Portuguese,
who were confined on board their prison-ship, in
the Tagus. There were 2000 of them when they
sidled, but many, from being in an emaciated state,
and having been long on their passage, died.onhoard
