" FROM THS VILLAGIV OF kRAINTA POMMY, SEPTEMBIR 11T11 123 D.) 64 The army which is at present on the old Kansa road, and by its position covers Tula, Kalov, and Oril, happily performed the movement which I sub missively explained in my report of the 18th instant. The army by making this flank movement after having crossed the river Moskwa, to conceal its intention, ptit the enemy into doubt by every march, and masked itself ilrhilst. taking its road to the intended point by false movements of the light troops, who made demonstrations towards Lamina, and sometimes to wards Supuchow, which were followed by large bodies of the enemy. The rear.guard•which crossed the river Pochra, followed after, and it Is at pretest in a parallel line with the army towards Moskwa, at about ten wents distimce, and has not been disturbed by the enemy since turning off from the road to Solonma. -" The enemy, who , has lost light of our aria” s . sind still remains in doubt, detakhes strong partiei ' K asstoss different roads tb discover us.

I shall not neglect forwardingihe particulars eff this affair." • . We announced yesterday that on die 11th ultimo Burgos still held out. By the following litterit will be seen that it had not fallen on the 10th, but it would appear that a supply of artillery, of which there was a deficiency on the first attack of the place, has since been brought forward, and partly silenced the fire of the enemy : we may, therefotb, now expect soon to hear of the fall of the place. The accounts From Cadiz are two days later than those received yesterday, and announce " appearances of the intended evacution of Valencia by the enemy, probably with an intention of uniting their forces and penetrating into Arragon." 4, PORTO, OCTOBER RR " (Air accounts from Burgos are of the 12th inst. at which tune it held out, but its fire had slackened, and as more of our guns were then playing upon it, it was the general opinion it cotild not old out mutt longer." 44 MADRID, CICTOBER S. 6 8 The troops of Generals Hill, Elio, and Espana . , and those of Akan* and Pakenhamt ate situated Upon the right of the Tajot General Hill, who commands in chief; has his Isead‘quarterit at Atanjuez.

The troops which the enemy have In the nelghbouthood of Burgos, including those they have drawn from the garrison, do not exceed 23,000 men." " GRAtIADA, OCTOBER. ie. Various English prisoners have arrived here, who effected their escape over Caravaca, as have likewise some French deserters, who assure or that discontent, disorder, and insubordination, have arrived at a g r eat height among the French ; the scarcity of provisions was so great thdt, for the four days prior to their flight, they had received no Nations. They add, that Souk bad repeatedly Attached the Castle of Caravaca in vain, and with great loss; in the last attack he lost more than 600 men. By the same conveyance that bttlught the Mail, Government received dispatches from Lard CATH CART. They exhibit the same promising aspect as the private accounts. The insurrectionary movements in Paris must have been much more serious than the Government has thought it prudent to publish. Every kind of pre caution is employed to hinder any accounts from circulating but those tb which they themselves give currency, and it is therefore difficult to procure in telligence on the subject that 'may be relied on ; especially as it has been rendered extremely diffi cult for any permit to quit Paris—a circumstance which in itself speaks a volume. A Gentleman, who, with difficult?, effected his escape front that city, .states that all the Shops were shut, and that several of the, goldsmith's shops had been plundered either by the populace err Mr Gowns math " No Consearmou" was placarded during the sight in many public situations : Nor had the vi gilance of the police or the energy of the Magistrates been found competent to the.restoration of tranquility. —Certain it is, that the severity of the conscription, lialds requires the surrender of boys from the acade- WO of 14 years old, has excited much serious discon- iest, Can it be otherwise, when it is considered, I that even the first families cannot purchase an et- emption by Sncfing substitutest One family at Bour deaux, offered, but without effect, a sum equal to 91100 sterling, to obtain a substitute for a beloved ° boy devoted to the conscription.

The universal interest which he excited when a boy, by the gift of declamation (which be possessed in no ordinary degree), made us curious to ascertain whether this talent was now seconded by the understanding, so aS to realize the promise of his early years. It is not often that preolAture endow ments ripen into excellence; but in the present instance the fortune which his youthful exertions acquired, had been properly used in giving him a liberal education r and we fondly hoped to find in him the powers of an enlightened mind animating an expressive counte nance, and modulating a musical voice. It would, perhaps, be ungenerous and unfair to state the impress sion that was made on us by the essay of last eight. kle appeared in the character of itch:rid, in Bariwrorra, we Suppose on , account of the allusion to his age, and perhaps also, if we remember right, because he Made his debt in that character when he first came out. Though not written with strength, the part M. fords scope for an actor of genius ; for there are :iota tions in which a watm and intelligent mind might display itself, and by a wick imitation of the feelings that would natutally agitate the heart in such scenes, arouse the sympathy of the spectators. We looked in vain for this proof of prompt intellect to cothpre hend, or of the rare capacity to convey the itaryieg emotions of the soul. The latter may be owing to the hollow tone of hit voice, and to•the incapacity of expression by the chubby fulness of his cheeks ; and yet we should think, that if he felt the quick impulses of the passion, which the situation and the words in spire,* would at times beam through all the obstruca. titms of his countenance, and give force and variety to his utterance. We fear; however, that he is a mere reciter—a person who has been tamed to speak *ill clearness, and to deliver himself with that open and direct proportion pf sound which makes every syllable audiblea proof of the value which ever y pubtre speaker oaght to set on the powerof forming the words is the month, and °Erring to each its jest time"nd melsure, as well as its tone and emphasis. This gift4f articulation Mr. Berry continues to en. joy. cvoice, as we have said, is hollow or foggy. It watiti the silverrsweetness by which the hear t i s „ seethed and o"- _ _ king is in our sensibility put in motion ; but in level :peal he never fails to satisfy the understan ding, It is s the delineation of the part that he is defective. We look in vain for the inward thought —the workings ot the bosom, that stamp the image of the passion on the man, and give to histrionic re► presentation the influence and allusion of reality.... A curious circumstance occurred previous to the scene in which itchiest appears. Mr. CRESWELL, who perfOrined the character of Sail, being mistaken by a part of the audience for the hero ot the evening, I received the applause which had been reserved foe Mr. Barry. As we have observed above, the char ratter of .Ackaut is ao well calculated for the power. of Mr. Barry. that he could scarcely fail of a fads ! vourable reception. All the situations and feel logs • of the part are suitable to his age and talents. 1 lie rest of the characters were eery ably sustained by the respective performers, and the Play was given oft for repetition to-morrow, with loud approbation... , The House WAS well filled, but not to an overflow.
