OCT. 1 1 . STOCKtIOI.M, ‘2s.—Every thing is quiet *at this place, and, „ opt t w o Cour', rs from Petersburgh, one of whom arrived here yes taddy, and the other to-day, and who brought with them au account of a victors, gained by the Russians near Ifiskwa, we have no news what eocr. Part of the military in this city has departed, and is at present at Dalian ; but the whole division cannot yet he embarked, as there is a great .scarcity of sesinen. The press gangs are very busy, yet can catch but tew. Mr. Thornton has almost e very day interviews with Von Angestrom, the Prime Minister, and, it is s a id, th at h e h as (~livered in a strong note on account of the delay in the sailing of the esaedition. It looks rather strange, and if the troops be not semi sly/iped, the season of the year will set in when it will be impracticable la a il aft any assistanc. to 'Russia. We are not very we:l pleased here to learn, that the former S..vedisli regiments i t Finland, and who are noiv Russian inbiects, have been ordered by Alexander to Riga. It s unnatural that Sweden should h tve f , ,rizot the in:ities she mstained from Russia, and the hope of getting Finiand back is now m ,fl' ifi-tant than ever. The Crown Prince is much beloved, but no 03,' krio.. hi. polities. He has discharged all his French Officers and and sent them away to France, except his Equerry. SIMLY. t.rnmn, Ave. 17.—The extreme heat of the weatleer having ob li;zed the Ai e whers of Parliament to request permission of his Royal Ifighdess to remove their sittincrs from the t'' , emenano de Cherece, where they Is •(1 hitherto been held, their request was granted, and on the I th the Parliani , nt suet in the above-mentioned College, when, %kite the three branches were employed in their duty, an ex plreitutwas heard i ie„r thc spot, which, together with the smoke that entered at the mia.low, and the strung smell of powder which tilled-the room, gave suspicion of sGme treachery. Persons were immediately sent to inquire and examine in the street; when it was found the explosion pri weeded from u hitite of thick glass, filled with powder, nails, :'het other things, and covered with flax, that it might not break in l's fall, 13 , 0 have a fall 6 rect in its explosion. which appears to have been intended against the Chamber of the Commons, the windows of which looked into the street. It , however, did no injury, the explosion taking place so soon. 'Hie Par liament immediately represe:aed to the throne the horrible attempt, mid continued its labours with the greatest tranquillity. liis Royal Iligline.s ordered 'a ce,,tinel to he placed., and published an offer of rewdrd of• 1090 pezzi to any person who sh.,uld discover the author of time intended mischief. SUPPLEMENT TO SITURD4Y'S GII:EIT.E. WAR DEPARTMENT. LOWSING.-Sat BEET. OCT. 5, 1612. A dispatch, of which the followine is an extract, has been this morning received at Earl Bathurst's office, addressed to his Lordship by General the Marquis of Wellington, K. B. Villa de Toro, near Burgos , Se p t. 21, 1912. I i I continued to follow the enemy with the troops under my com. tnind, till tile 16th, when I was joined at Pampliega by three divi sions of infantry and a small body of cavalr y , of the army of Gallicia; his Excellency the Captain-General Castanos , ha vin g arrived at head- !; head quarters on the 11th.' The enemy lied on the 16th taken a strong po sition on the heights behind Celada del Caniinn, and arrangements were made to attack them on the morning of the 17th ; but the enemy retired in the night, and they were driven on the 17th to the heights clove to Burgos. They retired through the town in the night, leaving I behind them some doodling and other stores, and a large quantity of wheat and barley ; and they have since continued their retreat to Bri vitsca, where, it is reported, they have been joined by seven thousand conscripts. It is like Wise reported, 013 t the. Prince of Ess ling his been ordered by the local Government of France to come and take the command of the army. 'Fite castle of Burgos commanis the passages of the flier A danzon in the neighbourhood, and the roads communic atin g with them, so c'lnildcrelt.'that we could nut passrthe river till the 10th, when , we rtfected iha t operation in two columns, the s th div ision and Brigadier- General Bradford's brigade above, and Ist diviskn, and Brigadier-Ge nera( Pack's brigade, and Major -General Anson's cavalry, below the town. Burgos -Is • situated in that division of Spain allotted to the army of the north ; and General Caffarelli, who had been here on the 17th, 11, 1c1 placed in the castle a garrison of the troops of that army, consist tog, is reported, 0N,150.3 men. ' The enemy had tAen considerable pains to fortify the castle of Burgos, and had occupied w ith a horn work the hill of St. Michael's, which has a considerable c ommand over_ some of the works of the castle) at the dist ance of Once bun oral yards. THE NATIONAL REGISTER. They had likewise occupied other parts of that hill whit fleches and other works, for the protection of their picquets and outposts. As soon as the Ist divisi'n crossel the A rlanzote on the 19th, the enemy's outposts were driven in. by the light infantry bettalion f Colonel Stirling's brigade, under the command of the lion Major • Cocks, supported by Brigadier-General Pack's brigade, and the en - my's outeorks on the hill ce St. Michael's; with the exception of hornwork, were occupied by our troops,. which were posted close t., the hornwork. A 4 soon as it was dark, the same troops, with the addition or' tee 12d regiment, attacked and carried by assault the hornwerk eich the enemy had occupied in strength. In this operation Brieeidier- Gen7ral Pack, Lieutenant-Colonel, of the Ist Portuguese regene, te • . Colonel Campb7ll of the 16th, Major 'Williams of th Caee'oaes, Major Dick of the 13d regiment, and the Hon Major - Cat ks of the 7.• 79th regiment, commandieg the light infantry batlalic,nedistiuguishei themselves; the latter, in particular, led the attack of the enemy's posts in the twining,. and entered the hornwork by its gorge night. We took three pieces of cannon, at d one captain, arid 62 prisoners ; but I ant sorry to add, that our own loss was severe, as appears by the enclosed return. It was impossible to ascertain the exact state of the works of the castle of Burgos, till we had obtained possessian of the hill of St. Michael's. Siece the 19th, we have been employed in establishing ourselves on • the hill of St. Miceaei's, and in constructing those works. which are best calculated to forward our future op• rations. The whole of the army have crossed the A rlanzon, with the excep e • . tion ot' the 6th division, and one division of Spaeish infantry. • -• . I have accounts from Sir Rowland Hill of thel lth; he was then at TruxilLo, and had received my orders,•and was to beat °ropes t on the 18th. ;• I have re t heard that Marshal Sonit has yet left Grande/a; he was still there on the Bth. Generel Ballasteros had followed the enemy's movements from the Gaudalete, and had been very success ful ; he was at Loxa on the 6th. The enemy hit abandoned Andujar and Jaen. The last accounts I have from Alicant are of the Itlth instant.— Joseph l3uonaparte's army, and that of Suchet, were stilt in Valencia. 1 have no accounts from Cadiz.
