The attention which We have Uniformly paid to the great questions which have been agitated in the di scu ssions between the Governments of this country and America, induces its to lay before our Readers an American document of great interest. The Re solutions passed at the Essex Meeting, wi t h t h e name of PICKERINt appended to them, and breathing the en lightened spirit by which that great American pa erint has been ever animated, are worthy Of a higher p a negyric than we can bestow.—(See the preceding page.) - . . This day has brought a great influx of intelligence .—Mails from Gottenbui.',4,ll, Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Malta, and Corunna Papers to the 10th inst. having arrived. We shall lay before our Readers such a condensed selection of their contents as will put them in possession of an ample, but perspicuous, account of the intelligence which they bring. - Two Couriers from Russia and Sweden came over with Dispatches in the Auckland packet which brought the Gottenburgh Mail. They wife landed at Harwich: The Swedish Papers contain, at full length, the Treaty of ?eate concluded between Russia and Turkey. The principal articles in it hive been ready laid before our Readers. SIEGE OF BU/tGOS. t Burgos had not surrendered when our atecnints came away, but the event was hourly expected. A correspondent at the scene of action Writes to its as foil qtr s : " Camp beyond Bbrgoe, October 3. " The heavy cavalry haVe at present next to no thing to do, the kind of warfare in which we are now occupied allowing them some res(from their fatigues. With lots of other amateurs, I went yesterday to see the explosion of our second mine, and the storming of the town wall and shot-yard. On account of the former failure, the Marquis of Wzumwron deter mined that this -should be done in, broad day light, and that he himself would see how all behaved.— The thing was so generally known hi the morning, that like at a horse race, or any public spectacle, all the neighbotiring heights that commanded any view were crowded with spectators, Spanish as well as Ehglish, for three hours before the time given out at which it was to have been done ; and though - the Trench discharged shot and sheils from the castle and the convent, all kept their ground, so great was the inaietY of every one to see the entertainment of the tvening. “ The March, Highlanders, and Germans, and likewise the 6th division, having got a trial In the #orliter evening's amusement, the performance this time was consigned to the 24th Regiment, small, but a band of heroes ; the regiment mustering less than 300 menu At a little before 5 o'clock they were seen knoVing in the trenches, and the ladders with them, At a little after five the mine blew up, in a beautiful styles tlearing the, whole wall most completely ; about fifty or sixty of the enemy near it were seen running bff to tl.e old breach - . Our brave fellows advanced with a firth step; and Mounted, both Captain Coote, of the 24th, With two other fine fellows of that dis. tinguished corps, led, ascended, and on the top of the breathes waved their hatianci encouraged the men. —ln a moment after they were in, and a loud liu z za of our men assured us of it; though all began then tb be enveloped in smoke. The French poured down men in every direction ; howeVer, the 24th, supported by the Uturrds, 42d and 79th Regiments, and like wise by the sth and 6th divisions, continued to advence. 'Fhe whole atmosphere; how dark, was illuminated by the incessant flashes of the muskets, and by the fire from our batteries, as well as that of the enemy's, for every gun and Mortar of both played. " The Marquis of W214=1.43103 dispatchei will tell you better than I can, the nuthber of killed and wounded& By this business the brave little 24th have gained immortal credit, and I hear, will have Burgos on their colours. The brave Captain COOTE will be immediately of course, promoted ; he is wounded, and severely, as ate some other fine fellows. Captain )&I'Dosatto, of the 11th, has lost one arts, and. Ca ptain M'DONALD, of the Stith, is badly Wounded. After blowing up another wall, we can storm the convent : when in possession of that, We can WV their water s and the enemy mint abandon the castle. After Elms heigho for Madrid. I pray that victory tray insure our return quickly to Old England? Other lettets inform us, that the enemy made a sortie from the CaStle of Burgos on the afternoon of the sth October, retook the wall which we had taken from them on the former evening, and drove out people quite out. However, our gallant fellows for. reed, advanced to the two breathes, and again stor med both, drove out the Frenchmen with great slaugh ter, and remained in possession of the wall. Captain WILLIAMSON, of the 42d, ye are concerned to state, is dead of his wounds. He is sincerely re gretted by the army, as one of its most promising ornaments. Sir S. Ccrrrois, 'Generals Cott ALTEN, have so fdr recovered from their wounds as to be able to join the army..

Both were now stormed by the 2d battalion of the 24th, under Captain HED bEnwicx, and our troops established themselves within the exterior line. 4 , These operations were effected without suffering any very severe loss.

The Lisbon Mail does not bringus any intelligence from the present seat of the gallant Marquis of WEL LINGTON'S operations later than that which we have received by the way of Corunna. General Hat was' on the Ist inst. at Oropesa. He was at Talavera la Reyna on the 21st September. The Lisbon Papers contain some ettracts from Cadiz Gazettes, consist ing of details on the subject of the late 'movements of the army of BALLASTEROS, whd had been doing every thing in his power to harass Soon' in his re treat. The latter evacuated the famous city of Gra nada without a struggle, and BALLASTEROS immedi lately entered it. This event took place on the 17th ISeptember. The loss of the French on their retreat is described as immense. The three corps of SOULT, SUCHET, and JOSEPH, formed a junction at Turuilla a r few days afterwards. The Coranna Diary of the 9th co' i niaini a dispatch from ESPO9 and MINA, dated Puerite la Reyna, in which he states having defeated General liaeg, who on the 21st August had marched from Pamplona with 2500 men, for the purpose of c ollecting probi sions, with the loss of upwardi of 1000 men in killed, wounded, and prisoners. We are concerned to learn, from the letter's before us, that, owing to General MAITLAND bavirig re mained shut up in Alicant with 22,000 men, little could be done by all the other forces under HILL, SEERRITT, COOKE, BALLA;TEROS, &C. even if the Mar quis of WELLINGTON had gone to command ; and the result has been that the three corps of &mar, SU. curr, and JOSEPH, effected a junction at Tomlin, a few days after SouLT evacuated the city of Granada- / . rcnri Sicily we learn that the New Parliament was actively employed in digesting treasures of re form, and its proceedings gate high satisfaction. The Palermo Gazette mentions a marauding expedi tion undertaken from the Coast of Barbary against the small island of Santioco, adjoining Sardinia, in which We are sorry to hear the pirates were successful, hav ing carried off the whole garrison and several of the inhabitants as slates. The contents of the following short letter, if cor. I rect, are higblyihiporfant " GOTTENBURGH, OCT. 10. t is veil , Ztirrently reported, that General WITT ; . GENSTEIN has defeated General MACDONALD, and that Gen. ToaltatoW is advancing towards Smolensk." Our Private Letters from St. Petersburgh, and which came from the most respectable authority, are calculated to inspire us with the most ardent hopes that the day of retribution for the grand In tendiary of Moscow, is at hand, The calamity which has overtaken that once beau tiful collection of all that was grand and sublime in architecture, was knowri at St: Petersburgh on the 22d; when our letters came away 4 No despondency, no gloom pervaded the countenances of the inhabi tants—there were no brawlers for Peace—no Mur murers against their Generals or Government to be heard. Private meetings were held by the Merchants and by the enlightened classes of society, for the purpose of respectfully requesting their Sovereign to wake, known the worst; and to assure him of their unalterable loyalty to his per.ton, and their deterni- ' nation to support him while a drop of blood re mained in their veins, or a rouble in their purses ! --Overwhelmed with the sensations which dins in cessantly vibrated in his ears, the mild and 'gen' er.dus ALEXANDER burst into tears ill presence of his Mi nisters, and appealing to Heaving to second hii et. forts to save his country, in a solemn tone assured the Nobles around him that he had resolved to die in the field, rather than enter into any negociation with the execrable villain who now occupied the Pa lace of the Czars !—Loral CATHCART, the English Ambassador, was instantly sent for. The Emperor was of opinion, that a formal communication through, the medium of a Minister would be a cold and life less mode of informing the representative of his mag nanimous and powerful ally of the effect which the fall of Moscow had Upon his feelings.-44 Tell your Master, (said the Emperor to Lord CATHCART) that Moscow has fallen ; but my armies have not been defeated. My people have been massacred ; but every good Russian, in a few weeks, will be in arms to avenge their loss. For my part, I shall put my self in person at their head : je suit atr cheval—je ne ja. mast dercenderai mail comme vaingucur !.`•44 I am no* on horseback—l shall never dismount unless victorious!' l The strongest proof that despondency holds no place in the hearts of the Russians at this moment is, that the Exchange at St. Petettburgh remained at 25. Their confidence in their Emperor, in his Generals, and in their brave soldiers, Was great be- I, yondexample; as was also their eagernets to learn *hat further exertions were to be mude,and what new posi tions were to be taken up to distress the Invader. In the direction of Riga, an operation upon a most for- I midable plan has been concerted among the Russian Generals, which is likely to annihilate the corps of MACDONALD and ONDINOT (or rather ST. CYR) left upon the Duna. Those who suppose the Russians cannot act in winter, will be happy to hear, that the very basis of this expedition is its alliance with thsr bleak elements of November and December ! Gene.' rah Lewis and STEINSIZILL, two approved Generals, are to command on this service under the soperin tendance of General Vosi Essex, of whoM we have already spoken in terms of panegyric. In this ser vice WITTGENSTEIN'S Victorious Heroes will also participates The name of VON ESSEN naturally brings to oar recollection, a piece of information which we received a few days ago, but which we omitted to mention, namely, that a General Officer in the Prussian service has had repeated interviews with the brave Governor of Riga. The F r en c h alai ! liaries in Courland are all Prussians. May we not hope, theN for their surrender on some amicable I terms, to the fcrce opposed to theta froin Riga ? We are at a loss to conceive what the Crown! Prince of Sweden can mean by delaying the sailing of the expedition, for of this painful circumstance ' the Gottenburgh Mails inform us. Surely the fairest prospects open to Sweden in the event of her cor dially uniting in the common cause, and let Us still hope that the ambition of the CROiVII PRINCE is truly' honourable. Cpposed to the glorious and animating spirit which pervades the Russians and Swe eel in the North, and the Spanish and Portuguese in the South, we nave to contemplate, 'Leith sentiments of mixed pity and disgust, the state of Denmark. What base, abject souls must those Sovereign's possess, who, like the Kings of DENMARK and PRUSSIA, and sti many others on the Continent, can desCend to be the slaves of a slave of the Corsican Despot ! How shameless in them, to demand loyalty and obe. ience frofn subjects whom they have betrayed, and deli. vered up to conscription and slaughter, in promoting a scheme of universal subju:;ation to the bloodiest tyranny which has ever existed 1 After this Paper had been at Press for soine tiiiii, we learnt that other letters of the 22d tilt. had been received in town from Petersburgh, stating that TORMAZOW'S Army had advanced on the Moscow road, near Smolensk # that% BONAPARTE HAD SENT OFFERS OF PEACE TO MARSHAL KUTUSSW, ON ENTER.: ING MOSCOW I WHICH THE MARSHAL INDIGNANTLY RE JECTED, and said, 46 The Russians were preparing to advance." It was said at Stockholm oh the 9th of Octbbet; that the Emperor of RUSSIA had published a Procla mation, calling forth the exertions of all his subjects, and declaring his determination to resist all overtures from the enemy. That the Frenth Coverntnent can fabricate Laws and Decrees for special purposes, by antedating the document-4 crime with which we charged them when the pretended revocation of the Berlin and Mi. lan Decrees was brought foil-and—is proved by a fact within the cognizance of every individual:— Pro format Decrees for calling out conscripts require the Sitting of tße Senate. On the, rst of September the Senate decreed the calling out of 120,000 con scripts—and on the fourth of September, t hat is on the third day after the tittilig, NAPOLZON, who via% six hundred leaguer distant, orders the Decrei to be put in execution !
