I • • BUENOS AIRES. Fresh adv;ces have been received from Buenos Ayres, by which we learn, that one European Spa niard more bad been convicted of being a principal ►n the conspiracy, and had paid the forfeit of his lite: In all 28 had been put to death. Upon the restora tion of tranquility, many of the Spaniards who had been under arrest, had been set at liberty, whilst others had been sent out of the country. Throirgh the interference of Lord Strangford, a perfect good understanding was maintained between the Portu guese Government and the Junta. Information had reached Buenos Ayres, that all the Peruvian mines, and the mint at Potosi, were in, the power of the army of Lima. In consequence cf the deficiency of specie, arising from this cause, sales of goods were very heavy. Produce was not plentiful nor likely to be so for a length of time ; as the ravages of the civil war on the eastern side of the River Plate had ruined the Estancius, where hides and tallow of the first qualities were prepared. The punishment of the conspirators had revived the animosity of the Go vernment and inhabitants of Monte Video, against the Junta of Buenos Ayres ; and active preparations were making for the recommencement of hostilities. JAVA. We have received Java Government Gazettes to the Bth March; they relate principally to those judi cial and commercial regulations consequent on con. quest, and which will, it is to be hoped, tend to ren der the acquisition advantageous to the British, and ultimately promote the happiness of the natives and settlers. --------- Governor Raffles has directed the formation of a . Javanese, corps, which, when completed, would con sist of 4.000 men. Colonel Gibbs, and Captain Fraser * were superintending the enlistments at Sourabayar The legion of the native Prince Prangwedono, comprising 1500 men, had been taken into British pay. The officers and men would wear the British uniform. The Prince was to be Colonel• Comma ndant, and all the officers were to be appointed by Government, from his family, or on his recommen dation. They would have local rank, except when 'Acting with British troops. Lieutenant Paul had .been appointed Adjutant to the legion. Twelve `hundred Spanish dollars are to be allowed tLe Prince ttonthly, for the subsistence and all other expences Attending the legion. All the Courts .of Justice on the island have been 'new modelled on the plan of those of Great Britain, so as to separate the judicial from the police duties, and insure the prompt, free, and impartial adminis stration of justice. AMERICA. Some more American Papers and Letters have reached us, via Liverpool. The following are ex- tracts : To secure the navigation of Lake Champlain, the American Executive nave purchased and armed the Hunter, Juno, Champlain, Jupiter, and Fox sluops. They have likewise contracted for 1600 batteaux, 'which were nearly completed—they are thirty-seven feet long and eight wide, and will carry about 45 men each. The British were actively fortifying the Isle Aux Noix, and had a number of gun-boats at Et. John's. The report in some of the American Papers, that Fort Wayne had been taken by a body of Indians, from the Michiian territory, is contradicted in a let ter from Cincinnati, of the Ist of September, being eight days later than the former account. The fears of the inhabitants had given currency to the statement, though it was extremely'improbable, as Fort Wayne is a regular square tortaficauon, with bastions at each angle, mounting 16 gulfs, and garrisoned 4%300 men. Since the rumour of its capture, General Har rison had detached thither six thousand men from Kentucky, which had been intended to reinforce Ge neral Hull. The inhabitants of many of the United States fron tier towns are not only averse from hostilities with their British neighbours, but have declared, in Re solutions passed at public meetings, their determina tion to take no share in the war into which they have been precipitated by their Government. . However singular such a determieation may appear, it is cer tain that a commercial intercourse is sell carried on on the faith of its strict observance. Even the British • Commanders have recognised it. An official notice, dated Halifax, August 5, signed by General J. S. Sherbrooke and Admiral H. Sawyer, ordered their land and naval forces respectively, “ to respect the persons and property of the inhabi tants of New Brunswick and Eastport, so long as they shall carry On their usual and accustomed.trade and intercourse with any parts of the British provinces ; nor shall this system of perfect neutrality be departed from without due and timely notice being given to the inhabitants thereof.," On the 2d September, Mr. Eustis, the Secretary at War of the United States, forwarded, through the medium of General Dearborn, some dispatches, said to be of an important nature, to Sir G. Prevost, Governor of Canada. The bearer was Major War lord, Aide-de-camp to Gen. Mooers, who commands at Plattsburgh. Much conjecture was excited con cerning the subjoct of the dispatches, as their trans mission was so quick after the receipt of intelligence Of General Hull's surrender. General Hull passed through Albany on the Bth September, as it was believed, on his return to the seat of Government. His accuser, Colonel Cass, had arrived at Washington some days preceding.—, It is mentioned, in letters from America, that it ....3 the intention of the Executive to put the General under arrest, preparatory to an investigation into his conduct by a Court-Martial.—There could be 'no impeachment'of his courage and capacity ;—it was I therefore insinuated by the Government Prints, that he was a Federalist, and that the surrender of the army in Canada was the result of treason, in order t• to throw opprobium on the Government which bad L, seleued him to carry iato execution a favourite and `well -arranged plan. CORUNNd CAZEITBS. CORUNNA, OCTOBER 12. The Senor Governor of this place has received en" official dispatch from Villa Toro, dated the 6th in which it is said that our troops had taken by is sault the exterior works constructed by the enemy at Burgos. The 24th English regiment behaved with great gallantry on the occasion. CORUNNA, OCTOBER 16. On the Bth instant the Castle of Burgos continued to resist, but had lost the exterior works, which were taken by our troops by assault on the 6th. The re treat of Soult and his junction with Suchet entered into Lord Wellington's plan. It appears, that as soon as the Castle has surrendered, the greater part of the alliedatmy will march against the united forces of the enemy. Soult maintains himself between Cu enca and Valencia. TOLEDO, OCTOBER 1. On the 29th ultimo entered in this place the first corps of General Hill's army, consisting of 9000 men ; yesterday as many more, and to-day 4000 Portuguese, brilliant troops, with an excellent artil-1 lery, whose valiant General was received with inn- mi nations, a ball, &c. &c. and this morning set out with his Staff by La Mancha, in the direction of Valencia. The vanguard of the fifth army has pass. ed to the right of the Tagus. and Generals Penne Morella have come to this city to compliment Gene ral Hill. More troops are to pass, and we are infor: med the whole will amount to S0,00(i. CONFIDENTIAL INTELLMENCE FROM CASTILE. The French continue their incursions by la Rioja. Latterly they made one upon Poza, and surprised 700 of Longa's troops, who slept there the preced• ing night ; but they only succeeded in making 150 prisoners. On the Bth, the Castle of Burgos had not surren. dered, but this event was momentarily expected ; it was then much weakened, and possessed but few resources. , Souk had already joined Suchet ; and it is there. fore to be supposed his Lordshipls attention will be called towards Madrid, because they have collected some forces, though not so many as they expected ' • and General Hill must be reinfor ce d i n or d er to e f. fectually resist Souk. MADRID, OCTOBER S. On the 26th ultimo General Duran set out from Soria to Catalayud with his battering artillery. Colo nel Gayan has blockaded the said city for some time, and it is expected to surrender on the arrival of the artillery. On the 18th September, Marmont and two other Generals arrived at Guipuscoa, escorted by 3000 men. Caffarelli, Buquet, and another General have march 'ed from Vittoria with 5000 men towards St. Sebas.. dan. There proceed with them many of the French partizans, and 200 clergymen and friars. We can not determine what is the object or cause of this movement. • • MADRID, OCTOBER 6. Suchet and some troops belonging to the King, on the 27th ultimo, made some movements upon Al manza and Requena, with no other purpose, it is supposed, than to protect Soult's junction, who, on the 25th, was in Huescar, Oree, los Villes, and neighbouring places of the kingdom of Murcia.— According to the latest intelligence, they would on that day begin their march to cross the province of Murcia. Every day ten or twelve Juramentados de sert to Villacampa. It is said that the French, find ing they can derive no advantage from the Spanish troops who were in the service of the intrusive King, have, in Valencia, disarmed 2000 of them.

" Head-quarters, Cuenca, Sept. 21. 64 Companions in arms !—The worthy part of the nation admires your patriotism, valour, and constan cy ; our equally faithful and generous allies gave you proofs of their friendship and gratitude ; even the virtuous Queen of Portugal and Brazil, Donna Charlotte Joaquina de Bourbon, Infanta of Spain, and sister of our beloved King, Ferdinand VII. loads you with honours from her Court at Rio Janeiro.— Listen to what she tells you in the following letter, which I yesterday received : TO DON JUAN MARTIN, EL IMPECINADO. Palace of Rio Jamiro, March 2, 1812. The important and heroic services with which, in the pre- sent revolution, you have defended the rights of our beloved coun try, and the throne of my much-beloved Ferdinand, excite my especial gratitude. I consider it my duty, on this occasion, to give you my most sincere thanks for the indefatigable zeal which has distinguished your faithful conduct, and:that of the faithful Sputiards who serve ander your orders, being equally commen dable, I entreat and command yea, on receiving this, to present to them the most Ando:ate expression ef my gratitude.—Coo preserve you many years.

FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, OCTOBER IS. . As individual, who has arrived froth London, states, that during 24 hours it was believed in that f city, that the Russian army had been victorious.— There were no kind of hopes to which they did not deliver themselves up. The Ministerial Prints repre. , rented the French flying towards the Vistula ; and. the Opposition Journals themselves appeared to git!n., credit to the pompous relation of Lord Cathcart.— But the arrival of the 19th and 20th Bulletins, ins- mediitely changed their opinion. In vain did the Ministers and their Agents attempt to deny their atta , ' thenticity, and persuade people that they had been fabricated ; the mass of facts became so overwhelm. iug, that it was requisite to resolve to believe that the Russians had been beaten. It was that' having given battle to save Moscow, they would no, have evacuated and burnt it, had they gained the , victory. Thus taunts, pamphlets, caricatures, show. ered from all parts. One appeared, the idea of which was satirical enough, and represented Russian Prieste. singing Te ileum, accompanied by the musicians of a i 1 French regiment. i OCTOBER 18.—According to private letters from Konigsberg, under date of the 3d inst. the garrison of Riga having made a vigorous sortie, with the in. tention of burning and destroying the park of artil lery, destined for carrying on the siege of that place, the Prussian troops, under Marshal the Duke of Tar rentum, promptly removed the pisk without lositg a tumbril or piece of artillery, and fell back, to in. duce the enemy to engage. The Russians fell into the snare. Then the Prussians, having arrived at the 'position they had determined on, commenced the battle. The affair was very hot, and the victory complete. The enemy lest, at least, from sto 6000 men in killed and wounded, and many prisoners..— IThe Prussian troops, to whom the highest praises are given, joined to the troops brought by the Mar shal Duke of Tarentum, returned to their farmer position before Riga. The fifth Polish regiment of the line of the 7th division was engaged, and fought with distinguished bravery. • oc-roam 19.—We have received intelligence frnm Moscow, dated the 3d of October; his Majesty had still his head quarters there. Winter began to be felt there ; the temperature was already three degrees below the freezing point. A letter from Dunaberg announces, that Marshal the Duke of Tarentum has bad a very brilliant affair with the Russian corps, commanded by Gen. Essen. The enemy have been completely routed. They have suffered a loss of 9000 men in killed and wounded, and 6000 prisoners. We have received private letters from Moscow, .which inform us, that since the re-establishment of order in that city, the inhabitants have resumed their usual occupations. Provisions are abundant, and the troops in barracks ; the latter observe an admirable discipline. His Majesty enjoys the best health. OCTOBER 20.—The latest accounts from Moscow are dated the 3d of October ;—at this time the rains had ceased, and the fine weather set in. Provisions of different descriptions daily arrive. The inhabitants of Moscow, who have been treated with the utmost humanity, have recovered from that fanaticism into which the proclamations, false intelligence, and de ceitful promises of their chiefs, had raised them.— They quietly resume their ordinary occupations, and only think of repairimg their disasters. NAPLES, SEPTEMBER so. r It is not yet known whether the explosion which took piece during the last Parliament of Sicily should be attributed to the English partisans or those belonging to the Court. The Duke of Crakcnv has, however, been arrested, even in the palace of King Ferdinand. It is said, that Queen Caroline has at length obtained permission to proceed to Vienna.— It is addeil, that the English offered her a frigate to convey her to Trieste, nut her Majesty refused. pre ferring to make the voyage In a Sicilian frigate.— It is besides said, that she will take with her Prince ' Leopold, the Duke of Gesso, and the Marquis of Santo Mario. WARSAW, SEPTEMBER 49. The siege of the fortress of Bobruysk, which has for some time been blockaded, will soon commence, as every thing is in readiness for the assault. His Excellency the Marshal Duke of Beiluno has arrived f n its neighbourhood, and shortly expects his corps, which passed Minsk a few days ago.' OCTOBER I.—According to our Journals, the Duke of Belluno's corps has arrived in the neighbourhood of Bobruysk, in Lithuania. The abundance of grain this year has considerably lowered the price. Iry order to complete the maga. zinis, a part gibe contributions will be raised in BERLIN, OCTOBER 4. For some time past we have continually seen pass_ ing through this city, transports of Russian prisoners POSEN, OCTOBER 4. . For several days there have been continually riving here, French, Polish, and allied troops, 'itroceed to the grand army. VIENNA, OCTOBER 7. The recruiting will continue the whole of this week, for the city of Vienna and its suburbs. It has not been so productive as was at first presumed. By a very recent rtscript of the Aulic Council of War, there has been a fresh order for four regiments to I march and reinforce the Auxiliary Corps, under the Prince of Schwartzenberg; the regiments of &much and Duca are of this number. Fourregiments from Moravia will march into Hungary, and four from Bohemia have orders to replace them. In regard to cavalry regiments, only Hohenzollern's has taken i the route to Poland. Alventzy and CoUoredo's re giments, which - suffered in this campaign, have bees. recalled to recruit, and have been replaced by eight battalions of chasseurs, for the service of the ad vanced posts. LEIPZIC, OCTOBER s. By intil/igence from the North, we learn that the Polish Legion, which formed the garrison of Pa i n, has left that town for Smolensko, where it wilt se, main till further orders. General Turrnassow is still charged with the ita mond of the Russian army in‘Volhynia. - General Tschitschagow, who commands the army which vrnes from the Danube, has provisionally established ' is head-quarters at Eamin, in rciddia.

DISPATCHES FROM THE MARQUISVF WELLINGTON. Burgos continues to make a stout resistance; bat the certainty of its ultimate surrender mixt be questioned. Yesterday Ministers received dispate from the Marquis of WUtINOTON, who superintends the siege in person, dated en the 11th instant, up to which period the Castle of Burgos still held outs We are sorry to learn that the loss of the British con. tinues to be severe. The immense importance of the acquisition 'is best proved by the obstinacy with which the enemy retain it. The following Bulletin, issued by Government; will put our Readers in pm. session of the substance of his Lordship's dispatches: OFFICIAL BULLETIN.—W4R DEPARTMENT, 6 ' Dovinino.sratat, Ocroml4. " It appears by a dispatch received this =Sirs from the Marquis of Wawsnistow, dated Villa Tora b October 11, that the enemy had made two sorties, it. which- they had materially injured our works, ands* had suffered some loss. In the last, Major Coco, of the 79th, who has so frequently distinguished him. self, was unfortunately killed. Notwithstanding the. efforts of the enemy, our troops were established within'about one hundred yatils of the enemy's into. rior line. A good breach bad been effected in another part of the line, and our troops were established clois to the breach.
