PARTlettAki. 6 The Manchester packet, Captain arsrttirota, kriTed last evening At Falmouth in five digs from tirunna, brought aver it King's Melsenger with dis. ate, from the Marquis of WELLINGTON, whose cbquarters, on the 21st of September, were in 1 0 4 04 His Lordship attacked the works of that on the 19th, and carried them with the loss of tity 'bout WO English and Portuguese in killed and hounded. The regiment which is said to have suffered wit, is the 42d Highlanders. We had five or six Officers killed ; among whom was Major PIERRE won., who received a Musket ball in his breast. The F renc h ; who were driven out, were pursued on the road towards Vittoria : but a garrison of 2000 re..' b a b i ed in a fort on the verge of the city. This fort was to be attacked on the 22d, and no doubt was en tertained of its being carried, and the garrison made prisoners - . di The French who were at Bilboa, left it on the so, a nd were understood to have joined those who h a d been driven fkom Burgos, at Vittoria. " Nothing had been heard at Burgos of Massena, itor of the 30,000 reinforcements from France, which have made such a figure in certain English Papers.-- (Canavan Gescetts.) The following are ample details of the above and Other highly gratifying events which have occurred in other parts of Spain. They are taken from the -I Comilla Papers received by the Mail : " CORUNNA, SEPTEMBER 23. u Yesterday we received papers from Madrid, tuadaLizara, Zamora, neighbourhood of Burgos, Etc. &c. &c. By them we are put in possession of the following communication : " The Madrid Gazette of the 15th instant says, We know for certain that Soult, who made indica 'tions of retiring by Hellen, has now taken the road of La Mancha, by the Banana Floudo to march for Infant& We likewise know, that between Ateira and Akoy, Suchet's army has been routed with 'the loss bf 6500 men in prisoners, killed and wounded, in consequence of which he was obliged to retire, infor matton of which undoubted, induced Soult to alter his direction and take a wider and less different mad. From Vallariolid they write under date of the 15th inst. that, cn the Bth the Constitution had been published there with great rejoicings; that on the 16th the Great Lord marched from thepce for Bur tos,where he entered an the 12th. The Galician di - *lon arrived at Valladolid, under command of Senor Pol ; that on the 13th this division marched for Palencia; that on the same day likewise entered haalladulid the army, with its General Sintocildes, Which the same evening proceeded for Palencia, and thit from thence it is positively known, that they Will, without delay, proceed to Burgos; as they march With great activity. -" Lastly, we know that the Marquis of Welling: ton has already his head-quarters in Briviesca, and that consequently the remains of Marmont's army continues to retrograde." " 3rPrzataza . 24.—By letters from Madrid, it ap pars that the Hcly Tribunal of the Inquisition had been re-established." " FROM THE CORUNNA DIARY,tEPT. " The army of Marmont; after the battle of Are pees, was reduced to about 23 or 21,000 men, of which many were disarmed ; and had in the hospi tals from three to four thousand. The remainder 1 , fonned-three divisions, whose total forte consisted of fourteen thousand infantry, and from 15 to eighteen hundred horse, with twenty pieces of artillery. These then are troops which went to withdraw the garrisons of Toro and Zamora ; the same which attempted to Save that of Astorga, which they could not accorn; ilish in consequence of its having surrendered 36 hours before their arrival, and being on Itt march to Corunna as prisoners. From this time they hale cowardly fled at the sight of the divisions of the Allied Army ; and if they have taken advantage of any conjuncture, it was rather to act as bands than as soldiers. " On the Ist inst. the English took one of Mar. monVs Aide-de-Camps, and oa the 3d twenty-three dragoons fell into our power. On the 4th the enemy were in Valladolid and Fordesillas, committing their usual infinite devastations. On this same day intel ligence was received in Seca of the English having seized upon the bridge of Aranda de Duero, taking prisoners three hundred dragoons and two hundred. Infantry —six thousand of the enemy, who came to s uppoTts were obliged to retrocede, and will probably experience a similar fate. I " From Burgos we know that on the 30th August there entered in that city 250 head of cattle, 1100 sheer', 100 bushels of wheat, and eight waggons of meal, which we re ta k en b y f orce i n C astros , C er iff, Melgar, and their neighbourhood. That on the 31st they began to dcnaoliiih the houses in the district of 1 St. Esteban —that the fumes on that day in the city, consisted of 1300 infantry and 200 horse, and 100 dismounted, SOO in the hospitals, and 400 unfit for service. " Notwithstanding their preparations for defence, among which they enumerate nine 18-pounders, 11 of four and B•pounders, and two 9-inch howitzers, it is not possible they can maintain themselves in that' IPoint, on acco unt o f t h e want o f p rov i s i ons s h ou ld 1 tej accomplish their junction there.

SECO N D EDITION The following official statement has been ciriulated in the Government Offices BULLETIN. 6 DOWNING-STREET, OCTOBER 5. 6g The Messenger IsizazEs arrived this morning, with dispatches from the Marquis of WELLINGTON, dafedVilla de Toro, near Burgos, September 21, 1812. His Lordship.had been joined oa the 16th at Pamplica by three diviSions of infantry and a small body of ca valry of the army of Gallicia, under the Captain- General CASTANOi. Oa the 17th the enemy took a strong position behind Celada del Camino, from which they retired in the night. es The enemy having left a garrison of 2,500 men in the Castle of Burgos * continued'his retreat through that town to Breviesca, leaving some stores, and a large quantity of Wheat and barley. On the morning of the 19th, the Marquis of WELLINGTON passLd the river Arlanzon, and the enemy's outposts were im mediately driven in. At night the Horn-work which they had constructed on the hill of St. Michael, com manding part of the Castle, and which they had oc cupied in force, was stormed and carried. Thre e pieces of cannon, 1 Captain, and 62 men were taken. 4, The allied loss was severe. On the part cf the British, three Officers and 44 men were killed; and 11 Officers and 241 men were wounded.

By accounts from Curaso - a and St. Thomas, dated the sth and 25th August, it appears that the City of Caraccas capitulated to the Royalist Army, under General Mowreviane, on the 28th July; and that La Guira surrendered at discretion on the Slst.— General MIRANDA is closely imprisoned at this latter place. The greatest distress had been experienced at the Caraccas. We have received nothing In the shape of add;tio. nal French Newspapers or Bulletins since those of Saturdays which conveyed the heart-rending details of the tremendous battles of hfojaisk and Moskwa ; but there are letters in town from the French coast, l stating a circuniitaace which m ust cheer every Bii. fish hear?, and dispel some of that de-,ponde.lcy in which our Readers may have induiged sin to the per. usal of the Eighteenth Bulletin : since the bade of • Moskwa, the Russians have received reinforements from Moscow to the extent of 40,000 mt n, thus pla cing the numerical strength of their army higher thati it was before that engagement. But there are still more promising intelligence to communicate:—by letters from the North, we learn, that there are three entrenched camps between Moskwa and Moscow— that there have been the most formidable means of . resistance prepared at she latter place-and finally, that the Emperor and. his Council of War have re. solved to burn Moscow, rather than suffer it to be come the winter-quarters of the invading army ! Let those who suppose that the occupation of Mos cow by the enemy never entered into the contempla tion of the Russians, rec'.liect the Proclamation they issued on breaking up from their entrenched camp at Drissa : K He would march to Moscow. Let him!—tut tan he, by the temporary poisessloa of that city, conquer the Empire of Rti!isa, and subjugate a population of thirty millions ?" 1 ' Already are bur Allies preparing to menace the rear of the invader; whilst be, inveigled too tar to retreat with impunity, shall soon have to combat With the seasons, and with innumera ble armies of Russians 1." The operations of BERNADOTTE in the rear of the French army, which have now commenced, will, we trust, prodtece the consummation so devoutly to be wished by all mankind► DUDLIN, OCTODER SADLIR ascended from Belvedere House, Drumcondra, at 47i minutes after twelve.

The balloon had sunk considerably when thus seen. The fineness of the dap,contributed very much to the beauty of the scene, and attracted the largest con course of spectators ever witnessed, the city being nearly deserted, and numbers having arrived from the adjoining counties, to witness this arduous under taking. The Balloon rose with great majesty, amidst the cheering of the surrounding multitude, and coa- Limed about 15 minute to public vim ?zit OF kIN&s Artiteit. .

The 10th Light Dragoons took the London duty on Saturday. They are shortly to be reviewed in their new superb uniforms. Yesterday the Earl of 14.inniNaroN and Colonel O'LouottLlN held a private inspection, at his Lord ship's house, on the marehis,g dress of the Life Guards, when they approved of every thing except the helmets, which they conceive too heavy, each weighing upon an average, Live pounds: they are therefore to undergo an alteration.

EAST-INDIA M'ONOPOLY.....It is earnestly hoped that the same disposition which was felt, individually, by a large majority of the Members of the House of Commons in the last Session of Parliament, to sup port the just claims of the Country to a fair and equal participation of the Trade with the East Indies and with China, subject to such regulations only, as may be deemed necessary for the preservation of the Government of India, and the protection of his Ma jesty's Revenue, will be evinced by those Members now about to be elected ; and it therefcre, in our judgment, behoves the Electors in every County, City, and Borough of the United Kingdom, to bear in their recollection the extreme importance of returning to Parliament such Members only, as will support the Commercial Interests of the Countrz IM ihae t h eir jadelesibk right&—iddsvrtisges4, tiiitt#freikeli v MAILS. • ova.
