The fine horses of the Scots Greys art forthwith to be turned over to the 10th Dragoon', it being disco vered, that the latter regiment is mounted in a Manner very inadequate to the petformance if the town duty. A letter from an Officer belonging to the torps of Royal Artillery Drives', dated in the Vicinity of Burgos, Sept. 17, saysv.—a The English Newspapers make ua acquainted with many movements of our army in this part of the globe, with which we were before unacquainted. I wish most sincerely that We could say as many fine things in praise of Spanish patriotism and enthusiasm, as are bestowed on these non-entities by the English press. But, alas A sense of duty alone compels me to be silent on this mortifying subject. It may, however, be allowed me 1 1 to assert, that if the Spanish maim had Made a proper use of the energies and resources placed within her command ; or had even cordially united and kept pace with the sacrifices made by her too generous Ally, the contest would long ago have been decided in her favour. But such is the abject iglwrance of the lower orders, and the jealous bigotry of their su ' periors, that they have on- many occasions been mere lookers on, as it totally indifferent to the issue of events which affected their most vital interests. In the poiht of disembarkation for the reinforce ments for the Peninsula, we have been charged with an error in stating such to be Lisbon, now that tilt: line of march is open from Corunna : we, however, repeat our statement of the fact, and feel inclined to admit its policy from the junction which has taken place in Murcia between the Armies of S•th.T and SUOMI' Atli. oft. .6 • 1 o o • 0 .1 ,1 Th e Di s num has arnved at Plymouth from St. 1 iota.

" It must, however, be allowed, that on many oc casions, on which their prejudices have been over come, and they have acted with our troops, they have evinced a degree of steady courage worthy of their tatise ; but their co-operation and exertions have been hitherto on so small a scale, compared with what they ought to be, that they have only served to con vince us what might be effected, if their energies were properly called forth. In one of the papers I per cewe it stated, that the inhabitants of Madrid had consented to accommodate our Commander with the loan of two millions of dollars! We are quite igno rant of this ; and I think I can venture to affirm, that not a single dollar has been received, except from our' own country. We every where receive abundance of professions, and are treated with great apparent respect and attention ; but, in full nine cases out of ten, we are compelled to pay for evert article required for our use or comfort, equally the same as if we were in our own country, and contending solely in our own cause. - " As our division has been in the rear of the army since we quitted Madrid, I cannot with any accu racy detail the operations that have taken place.— We are making preparations to invest the castle of Burgos, which i. very strong, and is said to have a Samson of acarly 3000 Then Our advance has had a sharp brush with the enemy, and f,.c taken a great number of prisoners. The enemy have been dnven from all their positions except the castle and its out works, and are stated to be retreating with great ra pidity towards the northern frontier, where they are said to have reinforcements wailing to jo.n them. If so, we expect another general action, should our ar my continue to advance ; but on this head all is mere matter of speculation. " With tl,e plans and intentions of our General we are, of course, unacquainted. These are known only to himself and a confidential few attached to his Staff. The opinion of myself and other Officers Kith whom I have conversed, is, that after making ourselves masters of this important place and its out-works, we shall retrograde with the main army to more com modious quarters for the winter. We have had some very heavy rains, and the roads in many places are nearly impassable, which renders the transport of heavy bagglge nearly impracticable ; and, without these,nomperatioif of magnitude can be undertaken. Our ?troy, as far as my_own observation extends, is tolerably healthy ; but we have lost a number of men and several valuable Officers since we quitted Ma drid, through excessive fatigue. Our b-ave fellows bear every thing o kit cheerfulness, and undergo the most fatiguing toils in marching through the execra ble roads of this country, without repining, because .they see their Officers share alike with them in every difficulty and privation." 0 g!...irdlwoonnr • CeNERAL ELECTION.

So far as relates to weather, this has been yr in auspicious day to Sir GODFREYWEBSTIIR, a turbulent night having been succeeded by a morning still more turbulent and damp. Soon after seven o'clock, the bustle of preparation for the County Hall at Lewes commenced, but the actual setting out, in consequence of the descending torrents from the clouds, was de layed until half-past nine o'clock. At the latter time the procession was in motion, consisting of a band of ' ewakeians, In a commodious caravan.

The cavalcade having reached the Level, the rain became so annoying, that the music ceased, the flags were rolled up, and happy was he who could squeeze himself'into a carriage, and shel ter himself from the inclemencies of the elements.— IThe crowd of spectators was very great at the onset, but the rain soon occasioned their numbers to be thinned, though many preferred a drenching to a retreat. From the Level, the proressiou, the colours lowered, proceeded at a brisk rate for Lewes, where, dripping wet, it at length arrived, but as the . rain had ( , partially ceased, its entrance into th e town h a d i ts due interest and effect.—As we anticipated, there was no opposition to the two Candidates ; the nomi nation took place in the County Hall, and where, amidst the acclamations of rejoicing hundreds, bit GODFREY WEBSTER, and WALTER BURRELL, Esq. were formally declared duly elected.—The New Ship Inn, in this place, is opened on Sir GODFREY'S 1 account, for the entertainment of the Freeholders, many of whom are returned from Lewes.
