B.—Private intelligence state!, that the French troops have entered the town of Twer, between Moscow and Petersburgh. N.trLes, SEPT. 30.—1 t is not yet known whether the explosion which took place during the last Par liament of Sicily, should be attributed to the English partims, or those belonging to the Court. The Duke of Craco has, however, been arrested even in the palace of King Ferdinand. It ism id that Queen , Caroline has at length obtained perssion to pro ! teed to Vienna. It is added, that the English of fered her a frigate to convey her to Trieste, but her Majesty refused, preferring 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. s.` 0, 4, 0, s, el. *,, 11, IAL d. a. d. a. d. 110 1 70 8 :4 8 41 10 ,81 0 75 2 47 5 FRENCH PAPERS. P. 4115, OCT. 20.—The latest accounts from Mos cow are dated the 3d of October; at this time the rains had ceased, and the fine weather set in. Pro visions of different descriptions daily arrive. The inhabitants of Moscow, who have been treated with the utmost humanity, have recovered from that fana ticism into which the Proclamations, false intelli gence, and deceitful promises of their Chiefs, had raised them. They quietly resume their ordinary occupations and only think of repairing their dins. ters. OCT. 19.—We have received intelligence froseMos cow, dated the 3(1 of October ; his Majesty had still his head-quarters there. Winter began to be felt there; the temperature was already three degrees be low the freezing point. A letter from nuttaburg announces that Marshal the Duke of Tarentum has had a very brilliant affair with the Russian corps, commanded by General Es. ten. The enemy have been completely routed. — They have suffered a Loss of 3000 men in killed or 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 meal occupations. Provisions are abundant, and the troops in barracks. They observed an admirable discipline. His Majesty enjoys the best health. OcT. 18.—According to private letters from Ko nigsberg, under date of the 3d inst. the garrison of Riga having made a vigorous : sortie, with the inten tion of burning and destroying the park of artillery, destined fbr tarrying on the sieg e of that place, the Prussian troops, under Marsha l Duke of Taren tum, promptly removed the park without losi. - ; a tumbril, or piece of artillery, and felt hack to in duce the enemy to engage. The Russian; fell :.:to the sti ire. Then the Prassians, having arrived at the position they had determined on, commenced 'he battle. The affair was very hot, and the victory complete. The enemy lost, at least, from sto 6000 men in killed and wounded, and many pisoners.— The Prussian troop:, to whom the highest praises are given, joined to the troops brought by the Mar shal Duke of Tarentum, returned to their former position before Riga. The sth Polish regiment of the line of the 7th division was engaged, and fought with distinguished bravery. 15--An individual, who hats arrived from London, states, that during twenty-four hours it was believed in that city, that the Russian army had been victorious. There were no kind of hopes to which they did not deliver themselves up. The Mi nisterial l'rints represented the French tly ing towards the Vistula; and the Opposition Journals appeared to give credit to the pompous relation of Lord Cath cart. But the arrival of the 19th and 20th Bulletins, immediately changed their opinion. In vain did the Ministers and their Agents attempt to deny their authenticity, and persuade the rople that they had been fabricated ; the mass of facts became so over whelming, that it was requisite to resolve to believe that the Russians had been beaten. It was judged, that having given battle to save Moscow, they would not have evacuated and burnt it, had they gained the victory : *hes taunts, pamphlets, caricatures, show, erect from all parts. One appeared, the idea of which was satirical enough, and represented Russian Priests singing Te Deux, accompanied by the musi clans of a Frruch regiment. Weesaw, OCT. 1.---ACCOrding to our Journals, the Duke of Belluuo's corps has arrived in the neigh bourhood of Bobruysk, in Lithuania. The abundance of grain this year has considerably lowered the price. In order to complete the maga zines, a part a the contributions will be raised in! grain. Poste, OCT. 4.—For several days there have been continually arriving here French, Polish, and allied troops, who proceed to the Grand Army. VIEN'S.I, OCT. 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.

MADRID, Ocr. 6.—Sachet and some troops be- longing to the King on the 27th ult. made some movements upon Almanza and Regnant, with no i other purpose, it is supposed, than to protect Soult's junction, who, on the 25th, was in Huescar, Orec,l Los Velez, and the neighbouring places of the king-, dom of Murcia. According to the latest intelli gence, they would on that day begin their march to ' i cross the province of Murcia. Every day ten or I twelve juramentados desert to General Villacampa. i It is said that the French, finding they can derive no' advantage from the Spanish troops who were in the service of the intrusive King, have lu Valencia dis armed 2000 of them. MADRID, OCT. 3.—On the 16th ult. General De ran set out from Sona to Calatayud, with his batter ing artillery. Colonel Gayer: has blockaded the said city for some time, and it is expected to surren der on the arrival of the artillery. On the 18th September, Mermont and two other Generals arrived at Guchuzcoa, escorted by 3,000 men. Catfarelli, Buquet, and another General, have marched from Vittoria with 5,000 men, towards St. Sebastian. There proceed with them many of the French partisans and 200 clergymen and friars.

GENTLEMEN,—I had the honour of stating to you, In a former address, the grounds on which I con. 'anted to be put in nomination as a candidate to re. present you in Parliament at the present 604., 1 1 election. In accepting the invitation of se respect. able a body, I had every reason to anticipate sue. cess ; the issue of the contest has, however, proved nufavousable to my hopes; and it now only remains for me to assure you, that, notwithstanding such result, my obligations and attachment to my native town remains undiminished ; and that I shall never cease to feel the most deep and lasting gratitude to those Uttuerons and respectable friends who hare so zealously afforded me their unsolicited support on this tryiag occasion, My ambition, Gentlemen, was to have represented -yeas in Padiament ; and, although I am depeired of (that high and distinguished honour, I trust it will be yet in my power to testify my gratitude for the attachment and kindness I have so abundantly es. pertenced from you. It is in this view that I re. joice In havittg, on the present occasion, been chosen a Representative in the ensuing Parliament for an other part of the kingdom, as it will enable me to take an active and most willing part in eery mca. sure that can promote the trade and general pro. 'perky of these kingdoms, and particularly on etery subject in which the interests of your great commer. cial town may be involved. The unremitting .exertions made en my behalf during a poll of eight days, hare sufficiently proved that my Parliamentary conduct has hitherto had the good fortune to meet with your approbation. Calm that impression I shall continue to act ; aspiring you, that I am incapable of being tempted by any motives of interest or ambition to desert or to betray those public principles, for my attachment to which, I consider myself es exclusively indebted fpr your honourable support. With sentiments of the most affectionate regard to those of you, Gentlemen, who have so nobly sup ported me, and with the sincerest wishes for the hap. pings and prosperity of you all, I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your most grateful and devoted friend And fellow-tow unman, THOM ftS citr.Evfiv. Cresteth HO, °doter 17, 1812. I only desire my principles to be gathered from my conduct.—liaving come here without any profs, sioqs, I will make none at my departure—but I once more refer you to the past without any other comment than this—that, in the whole course of the election, I have never stated an opinion, or expressed a feeling, respecting either public measures or men, to the sincerity of which some passages of my shed Parliamentary life does not bear witness. Upon ail the subjects most interesting to the country, the abuses of public expenditure—the appropriation by the Crown of unconstitutional funds, alike injor rious to the .character of the tuition abroad, and its liberties at home— the increase of military in. guence—the corruptions of the Court—the de tangement of our currency—the imposition of politic and unequal taxes.--the inroads on the free. , dom of the press—the invasions of domestic rity—upon the dangers that menace our colonial sys. tem from misgovernment and injustice—the mischiefs that have befallen the constitution of Parliament from abuses in the representation—the ruin that has overtaken the trade of the country from the ;data sited lest of war—the lavish waste of our •ast re sources in military projects which neither lead to real conquest nor to command a peace :—upon these most yital questions I had canvassed your votes in the House of Commons long before the idea of com ing to Liverpool ever entered my mind—and my can. vass °tithe spot has consisted entirely of references to the proceedings in that House, unmixed with pro mises as to the future, •or assertions of opinions not previously declared. Oue sentiment indeed there is with which I have now, for the first time, been penntrated, because until I came amengst you I could not know that there existed such faithful, disinterested, cordial, indefatigable friendship as I have, to kny unspeak..l able delight, enjoyed—the impression which it has produced on me, I have in vain attempted to de• scribe. My feelings on this subject can only be understood by Abase whose conduct has excited them, and they, I well know, wool no such thanks Arr. MOIs. I:st 4 2 O v G reruse y O r ...
