R , . is WAR DEPARTMENT. _ II DOWNIG-STREET, NOV. 17211114. • u Dispatches have been received • this morning • 1 4 1 , 3 n; the Marquis of WELI * INGTON, dated the 26th, Istb, and 31st of October, and Sci November. 0 It appeanshata Mine which had been formed una der the second wall Of the tnemy's works, was exploded on the evening of the 11th, and the breaches were immediately stormed and the lines escaladed by orp troops ; the Guards and the infantry of the Getman I,eoon particularly distinguished themselves in this attack, and entered the works, but were unable to :sustain the heavy fire from the Castle, and weie -obliged to retire after suffering . some loss. if Upon the 13th, the advanced guard of the enemy's forces, which had been assembled in the North, attacked the out-post of the allies at Mona. stereo, but were repulsed. On the morning of the 19th their whole army (which appears to have consisted if the remains of Marshal MARAIONT I 3 forces, reinforc4d by tro.ps from , France, and joined by all the cavalry and two divisions of infantry from the army of the North) advai.ced through Monasterio, with the view of raiblig the siege of Burgos ; and in the evening of the 20th, attacked the Marquis of WELLINGTON'S outposts; but Sir EDWARD PAGET having been di. tected to move the Ist and sth divisions upon the enemy's right flank executed this movement with g reat ability t 'aed the *renal were driven back. , .401 .1 " - N It further appears, that in consequence of a letter float .Sir ROWLAND HILL, Lord WELLINGTON raised the siege of Burgos upon the 21st of October ; and the Allied Forces retired .towards the Douro, and were followed by the whole of the enemy's irmr. During the retreat, there were several affairs between the rear-guard of the allies and the enemy's MYATT, particularly on the 23d, on which occasion the light infantry baJtalinns of the German Legion distinguished themselves in repulsing a very superior 'force of cavalry.. The army took up a position on the 14th upon the Carrion, where it was joined by the first battalion of the Guards from Corunna. u It halted upon the 25th, and its left was attacked • .by the enemy, who were repulsed by the sth Division, • commanded by Major-General OSWALD; the French, however, having forded the river at Valentia, the •• Marquis of WELLINGTON changed his front, and caused the enemy to be attacked by two brigades under Ge- • neral OswaLn, and a body of Spanish troops, who .drove.thersi across the river with considerable loss. 4, In consequence of the army under Marshal SOULT and SUCHET having approached the Tagus, and that Riibr having become fordable in every part, the Marquis of WEitiNoroze directed Lieu -tenant• General Sir Rovrtallo Hut. to retire from the Tagus, and evacuate Madrid, and to take up a position upon the Adaja, in order to ptit himself into communication with the army, under Lord WEL LINGTON's immediate command. a The enemy having collected a large body of troops between Puente Largo and Aranjbez, at tacked the British post, but were repulsed with consider. able loss by the 94 battalion of the 47th Regiment, d a detachment of Abe 95th, under Col. Sezantrr. al The Fort of Li Chine, in the Retiro, was de stroyed, and all the guns, stores, &c. which had mot been removed were destroyed before the troops quit ted Madrid. Lieutenant-General Sir R. HILL had not been finther molested in his retreat, and was expected tb join the Marquis of WELLOOTON on the 3d. " It is understood, from informa . tian which has hen received by this Mail, that the enemy had abandoned the city of Valentia, having dismantled or destroyed the fortifications, and that only a small force tinder General Harispe had been left in that provi ace. 46 N. B. Three of the dispatches which have been 'received, are duplicates, of which the originals have -slot arrived, and are not accompanied by the returns of killed and wounded ; but it appears that General ALAVA i of the Spanish army, was wounded in the 'repulse of the enemy upon the 25th of Octoler ; that , Lieutenent-Colonel the Hon. V. .PONSONBY was slightly wounded upon the 13th of October ; and Lieutenant-Colonel ROBE, of the Royal Artillery, , severely wounded upon the 2,7 th ; and that Lieute tient-Colonel PELLIY. of the 16th Light Dragoons, Was made prisoner in the - affair of the 23d of Oc tober." • A lett t r frogs St. Petersburgh, dated Oct. 27, says ; We have POW the pleasure of communicating to • you the glorious news of the entire defeat of MURAT, and the t +king 'of Moscow, with' 37 caissons, 15,0001 Prion •rs, 4 mdlionS of ducats, bad a General kilted, .bet.ales Pi ince PoNtArowsnr, and the armies of krru sarr now drawing near, a dreadful battle is expected. Cott* Wittgrastein has .stoszned and taken Pod - loull, and 6000 of the enemy are pot hors de combat. • • We regret,to hear t that Colonel Willoughby, geting its a volunteer in the attack, has been made prisoner. This goes by courier. Itutusoff is 200,000 stronz., and all the peasantry are armed. I doubt mush tE "the Fran& will ever get back." COTTEMITYAGN MAIL.. ~;.- 4 , NOVEMBER 9. 'Private accounts from Copenhagen, via mare, mehtion a second confederation in Poland, in favour of the Russians.

GOTTENBUR OFFICIAL AOCOURTB FROM THE ARMIES. te The Adjutant-General Baron Winzingereide reports to his Imperial Majesty, from the Church villsge of Podssolnetschoje, under date of the sth ( I 7) of . October, as follows : " I have most submissively to inform your Impe- Fial Majesty, that every thing is well and in good Order with the army, the vanguard, the stations, and the 'skdvanced posts. • 46 No motions have beat observed to have been *ince made by the enemy; his advanced posts re main at their former places. " On the road to Dmitrow, 'the retreating corps wi the enemy was pursued by a party, which I had detached, and made halt in the Church village of Winogradowo, seventeen . verstsTrom Moscow, and pushed its piquets four vents forward. " The enemy was continually disturbed during their whole much on this road, by the detachments of Majar-General Ilowaiskji, who made 52 prisoners, and took from him a no small number of carriages, laden with provisions, which be returned to the inha bitants on the St. Peteisburgh road. 66 The enemy has not made any movement on the St. Petersburgh rood, my advanced guards on that road are some verso on the other side of Tschernaja Gras. 46 The towns of Woskressensk and Wolokolanisk are likewise' is the possession of my detachments, and Lieutenant-Colonel Tschernosubow acts between , Gshatsk and Wiasma. le On the 4th (16th) of October, I advanced with the rest rf the regiments belonging to the corps under my command, as far as the station of Podssolnets choje, in order to approach the nearer to my van guard, and be the better enabled to act as circum stances may require. " Excepting the 4ria corps of the enemy, which it partly opposed to, us, and partly stationed on ita Smolensko road, in the vicinity of Moscow, and t h garrison there, he bas no other troops remainisig i t Moscow. Most probably all the enemy's trooi s ar. drawn up against our Grand Army. 66 I shall have the happiness of reporting to y out Imperial Majesty whatever further may "occur.". [TaaNssurrsn.]—They write from. Elsinore that although the French Minister, Alquier, bad stre nuously requested that the Royal Danish Authori ties should be present at the n Dekill which was sung in the Chapel of the French Mission, on account of the entrance of the French army into Moscow, yet the Government'would not accede to it. We must rather wish for, than believe, a circOmstance which, if true, would give rise to pleasing hopes of a con tinued neutrality in a part of the North. What, however, gives an appearance of truth to this state ment is, that it is officially known, a Lieutenant of the Danish navy arrived with two armed long-boats, at Landsrrona, on the 24th of October last,. offering to convoy, and defend against privateers, such mer chant vessels as might be bound from our side to Co penhagen ; but which polite offer was, nevertheless, not accepted by the Swedish Commander, for the reason of two of his own decked gun-boats being al- I toady appointed for that purpose. WARSAW, OCTOBER 10. Yesterday several divisions of French infantry and cavalry entereB this city. Several regiments of Aus trian infantry and cavalry have entered the depart. ment of Lublin, as reinforcements to Prince Sch. veartzcnberg's corps. We are informed from Volhynia, that Vice Ad- miral Tschitschagoff has taken the command of the Russian troops there, in place of General Tormas- low, to whom the command of the chief Russian army, which is again assembling in the vicinity of Toula and Kalouga, is transferred, in the place of Prince Bagration. BORDERS OF MOLDAVIA, SEPT. 26. At the moment when Moldavia was giving itself up to joy for the departure of the Russians, this pro vince, according to confirmed intelligence, has to undergo a still more unpleasant visit, though from its friends, and by which the Boyars have been so I astonished, that they luxe begun to fly with their families to the Austrian States. We are assured, by letters to be relied on, that three Pachat have received orders to take possession of Wallachia and Moldavia with their troops, and that their advanced guards were already at Bucha rest. The terror which this has caused in Walla chia is so great, that the greatest part of the Boyars there had tikAvise fled to Transylvania. The prin cipal families in Moldavia are fled to Austrian Buc kowina, less through fear of the revenge of the Tur kish Government (as the Wallachian Boyars had with too great zeal shewn their attachment to the Russian cause), than to'avoid the brutality and ex cesses of the 1 urkish soldiery. The Porte has likewise caused it to be notified to the Divans, both in Moldavia and Wallachia, that the political relationswill not admit of her appoint ing new Hospodars to these principalities, before peace is established between France and Russia ) but that she found herself , iecessitated to take military' possession of these provinces, until such peace is con eluded. The influence of the French Ambassador, GeneAd Andreossio on the Porte, is, as insinuated, already so great, that by his representation the Grand Vizier, who concluded the peace, is banished to Asia, and the first Dragoman of the Porte, Prince Demetrius Slurusi, who likewise brought on the peace at Bu. tharest, has lost his place, which the Silken has since given so Prince Janka Razadaa, who is likewise a Dteek.
