la ia advised to annex the following resolutions,
, &e.
In the reports of the committee of the
Royal Lancastrian Institution, or British
and Foreign School Society, London; for
the years 1812 and 14, are these words:
“In the British settlements of America, a
very considerable desire has b';en mani
fested for the establishment of Schools.—
Canada contains a population of about
400,000 souls, the greater proportion of
whom are Roman Catholics; and it is esti
mated that offhe whole population'scarco-
ly Inore than ths fifth part can read. • A
school has lately bevnonened in Montreal
iiy James Edward, a young man 21 years
of age, who was monitor general in’ the
Labcasterian school at Dundee; and ;t is
hoped that proper encouragement will be
afforded for the establishment of, other
schools in the moat populous parts of that
extensive country., The committee, to
give all the kid in their power, have voted
proper seta-of lessons, together with copies
of Mr. Lancaster's publications, for the
use of that country ■”
“At a very numerous and highly ro-
spec.table meeting of the friends-and sup
porters of the Lsncsaterian system of edu
cation, his royal highness the duke of Kent
in the chair, it was
‘.Resolved unanimously, oij the motion
of his roal highness the duke of Sussex,
seconded by sir John Swinburne, Bart —
‘•That the report now'read contains
most gratifying information, and that it be
generally distjjbated to the friends of the
nation-” .
“Movpd by Montage Burgoyne, esq.
and seconded by John Jackson,esq. M P—
“That thin meeting congratulate the
friends to knaweledg*,- on the int<oduc- J
tion of the Labcxsterian* system into the
British possession in Amertea-
“The inhabitants arethoroigly convinc.
ed of the excellence of the system- Our
adversaries are silent, and schools will be
established on the same plan throughout
New-Brunswick and Nova S-Otia; both
houses of assembly have taken it into
their consideration, and there cannot be a'
<Joutt of their warmest support.”

They have been transformed tutu the very-
instruments of her fall. England at .this
moment comprehends wjthin herself the'
extremes of magnificence *a*iHl misery.—
Luxury-is'debasing one portion of society;
and poverty and oppressidi: the other.—
'1’jieir inflcences meet. Their rection
must either be through reform or revolu
tion. Our sapient rulers seem to make a
merit of .holding public' opinion ip high
contempt; and th« reign which commenced
with the activity -ul every false principle.,
ut human policy—which in itiuprugr.ess
has desolated, ail corners of the earth—
and waged a ceasclesa war agqii st liberty’

is a specie* of non-condiictor of it- All
thrir estimation of human afiairs are taken
through a fa's* medium. Their passions,
-and their vanities are the only attributes
which are duly ministered to. This is
their constant-excuse fur mistaking the bent
^•l genius uf the people over whom they
are called to rule. • How ridiculous would
it be in.a.sovereign of this country to as-
ume.in hi* exterior the surely despotism
of Germany—or to ape a foolish, outland

such as Moore, IVeld, etc. etc. as well a*
by, the angry p .ragraphists iu London
(who not one in ten know any more about

allude to Mr. lncledon,tlie celebrated sing
er, who it will be recollected, passed
throogh this town about 1$ months ago.
Mr. fncledon in travelling through the
United States stopped at almost every
place of any note from Boston to Savan
nah; at all of Which his affable anil gentle-
pmnly-tieportment recommended him to
such acquaintances as could not fail to
impress him with a favorable opinion ot
the stato.of society in the United States.
His candor as a man and a gentleman has
overcome the native prcjudiccsof the Eng-

dered a more acceptable service at home
by requiet’ing our politeness and hospitali
ty jvjth abuse nnd defamation, he ehose
rather to do justice, than to carry favor up-

To the Editor of the Mornirg Pott.
Sir—Unwilling as I always have been,
to intrude myself on the public, I esnnot
avoid noticing, with feelings uf regret, the
misrepresentations which t hate observed
in the newspapers since my return from
America; upon the State of music in that
country; and I avail myself of the first
moment of my return to the metropolis to
correct this error. I am proud at the same
time publicly to express my very high
sense of the liberal and enlightened hospi
tality with which I have been treated every
where in the United States. With regard
to musical science in America, I must say
that I was agreeably surprized at finding
it, in every province, in such high -culti
vation. At St. Paul’s church, N. York I
sang in an Oratorio which was, throughout
the performance, in a style which would
have done credit to London. If any addi
tional proof were wanting of their real
fondness for music, it is to be found in the
facility I every where experienced during
iiiy tour, where I was offered the use of
halls for my performances tree of expence.
I could enumerate more instances of gene
rosity than your leizure would permit you
to read, besides which it might be thought
irrelevant to the subject. I must therefore
sum up the expression of my feelings in this
declaration, that I have never yet been
more agreeably surprized than by my ra
pid glance a! America; and I shall always
hold in affectionate remembrance, the
country which welcomed me as a stranger,
;t nd patronized me with as much ardour as
she could have shown had I been her own
son. Once more apologizing for obtrud
ing my opinion on the : public, I have the
honor to be, Sir, your obedient humble
Servant. ’! C.-B. Incuidon.

presented one.of them to the emperor of

presented Mr. Clymer wjth ijie sum of six
