A Dispatch, of which the following is an, extract, has been this morning received at Earl Bathurst's Of fee, addressed to his Lordship by General the Mar quis of Wellington, dated Villa Toro, Oct. 5, 18 l'2. One of the mines which had been prepared under the exterior li:te of the castle of Burgos, was ex ploded at midnight of the 291 h, and effected a breach in true wall, which some of the party, destined to attack it, were enabled to storm ; but owing to the darkness of the night, the detachment who were to support the advanced party, missed their way, and the advance were driven off the breach again before they could be effectually supported. The breach effected by the mine was not of a description to be stormed, except at the moment of the explosion, and it was necessary to improve it by fire, before the attempt could be repeated. But all our endeavours to construct batteries in the best situation to fire up on the wall failed, inconsequence of the great su periority of the enemy's fire. In the mean time an other mine had been phced tinder the wall, which was ready yesterday, and a fire was opened yester day morning from a battery constructed under corer of the horawork. The fire from this battery improved the broach first made; and the explosion of the mine, at five o'clock yesterday evening, effected a second breach. Bath were immediately stormed by the Second bat talion of the 24th regiment, under the command of Captain Hedderwick, which I had ordered iota the trenches for that purpose; and our troops were es tablished within the exterior line of the works of the castle of Burgos. The conduct of the 24th re giment was highly praiseworthy; and Captain lied. derwick and Lieutenauts Holmes and Fraser, who led the.two storming parties, particularly distin guished themselves. lam happy to add, the opera tion was effected without 'uttering a very severe loss. The enemy are still upon the Ebro, and have not made any attempt to interrupt our operations. It is reported they have extended to their left as far as Logout). v last reports from the frontiers of Valencia are of the 25th. It is stated that Joseph was at Al latallZa, with fifteen thousand men, to join Marshal Soult, ►rho was ea his march through Mnrcia, from Granada.

" Till the reign of Queen Anne, it was not ne. cessary for the inhabitants of a county to have tlOOl. freehold or copvhold estate, its order to his being elected the Representative of his county. But the statute of that Queen, passed in the year 1710, un der pretence of the freedom of Parliament, excluded all persons not possessed of such - property from ,our representation, whatever be their principles, their abilities, or their integrity. " Till the reign of William HI. Parliaments were of nu:IIT to he called once a grar, or oftener, if need tvs. But the statute of that King, passed in the year 1691, under pretenCe of calling I hem more fre quently, enacted that they. would be holden once in three Nears at file least. " Till the reign of George I. Parliaments were, therefore, of threw years duration. But the statute of that King, passed in the year 1715, under pretence of ' a restless faction . ' then existing in the nation, usurped a power of enacting, that ' Parliament . should respectively have continuance for seven years.' " As for the supposed representation of the peo ple, which is called the Commons of England in Parliament assembled,'- -" The county of Cornwall contains in itself alone the privilege of sending for(y-four Members to Par. !lament, which is just one less in number than those of the whole Lingdon of Scotland, containing up wards of three millions of people.

The musketry nest dispatched between nine and ten thousand ; and the bayonet, in its turn, was the adequate cause of O. .death of as many more. The whole amount was at least thirty thousand souls. Canditle, who trembled like a philosopher, hid himself as well as he could (luring the heroic butchery. At length, while the two Kings ordered Ta Deum to be sung in their two camps, he thought proper to depart and reason else. where on causes and effects. Ho passed over moon. tains of the dying and the dead. The first village he came to belonged to the Abarians: it was reeking with smoke, having been burnt by the Bulgarians, according to the law of nations. Here stood old men maimed by the enemy, gazing on their murdered wives, with their dead children extended on their bleeding bosoms. There lay virgins giving up the ghost, with their wombs ripped open, after having appeased the natural appetites of certain heroes. — Others, half roasted, called aloud for some one to come and dispatch them entirely. Here the brains of men were scattered, here their arms, here their legs, and here their mangled trunks. Candide tied with all his might to another village, that belonged to the Bulgarians, which the heroes of Abaria had treated much in the same manner. At length, marching over limbs sti!l trembling, hearts still palpitating, and fires yet nnextinguished, he ith.kily escaped from the theatre of war and glory." I - • • _ .
