The Nuniteur, of the Flth of October, contains some remarks, in the shape of Notes, on the Miser s:ilium of a London Paper. (ofSept. 13,) relative to the conduct of Lord Wellington in Spain. • lims mos Parts.--," We have said, that, in a military penal ureic., the movements of Lord Wellington were regu lated by his eau rhoree." Nora 07 THE MORITEUR.—Lord Wellington NA* been very fortunate to,ieach the banks of the Tagus, to be able to cover himself byline river, and thus escape total destruction ; but that his re treat was regulated by his owe choice, is a thing which elm only be said in England, and will be be limed no where. Why, then, did nut Lord Wellington retire by Plawilcia, where hismage2ines were? Why, arleast. did he not pH,* the Tagus, over the bridge of Almaraz? Why did he puss that river by the bridge of Arzobispo, whence he made his retreat over difficult mountains, and by scarcely practi cable roads ? Certainly, such a retreat as this could not he a voluntary retreat; and Lord Welling ton, unless we suppose him actually insane, could not have taken that direction of his own choice. LoiDO% Plern —" Lord Wellingtim preserved, daring tee' days, a position, in which the Freuelt troops,- had they thought themselves strong enough, have attacked our array, sod left it nu tidier means of I seaping, but viztury." NOII.-414 isa very singular assertion, when, according to the noble custom of the English. Lord Wellington had aleitidoned the army of Cucuta, who had been beaten on the Tagus, and lust 33 pieces of elinnOn. and 101 his antmunition. The writer asks why the French did not pursue the English array! Th• did pursue it, fire they cause up with the rear-guard. This rear-guard, it is true, was composed only of the troops of Cuesta ; but they were there as allied troops, and made a part of the pursued army. The Freud', too, destir.yeZ• that part of this army which they overtook. Two things certainly result from this; first, that the rear swirl of Loot Wellington was destroyed ; and. secondly, that Lord Wellington, having to give the post of honour either to the English troops, or theme Spoaiards,' of whom he speaks so ill, de terinined iu favour of the Spanish troops. The post of honour. in an army, is that which is nearest the enemy. When Francis 1. tent to re , deinawil the *word of Constable from the Constable of Bow-ben, the latter replied--" The King took it from toe on the day when he gave the comnind of the advanced guard to the. Duke of Alengou." Lord Wellington had not the same sentiments with the brave Chevaliers of those times. He does not pique himself ou keeping for himself the post of ho roue ; he gives it up to his allies. The French, after having beaten his rear-goal-a, might have en tered Portugal; but they did not wish it ; because it was then the mouth of August; because the climate is fatal at that season ; because only mad !lmo, such as those who direct the Euglish Goveru ment, would, in the months of Asign4 anti Sep tember, expose an army to perish in the marshes of Walcheren. or in the sands of Estremadura. L PA /10e1t..." It is certain that he was deceived is his expectation a Whit provisions, and meson of con. science. The charge of want of foresight Basch against Lord Welliagien falls of itself." MOTE.—The pretest of wanting provisions is always the excuse of I ;entrails. who are beaten, or who are rendered unable to attempt any thing.— Would not one suppose that Lord Wellington com manded an army of three hundred thousand in &Orr. and forty thousand cavalry ? When a Ge neral has an army so considerable, the procuring of provisions may give him some trouble, but cannot absolutely stop his progress. Can it be believed that an army of twenty-six thousand men could not kird subsistence in a conntry where towns are so numerous? Such an army is only a strong division, which a single town of Spain could maintain for two months. Besides, if Lord Wellington wet uneasy with respect to the subsisteuce of his army, why did he isharrrloti his magazioes ? His line of operation, and his nompixiiies, were upon and at PhillenCill• Why did he suffer Plaseneia to he taken ? Why ? Be cause this General of Senna had the imprudence to advance to ;lie very middle of Spam, without know ing either what force was before him, or what upon his flanks. We see, by his dispatches, that he wunetinies believed that the Duke of Dalmatia had but eight thousand men, and sometimes that he had 16,000. Under these false suppositions, lie hod proposed to divide his forces, to go and attack the Deice of Dalmatia ; when, all on a sudden, and too late, he learned that this seine Duke wit advancing upon him, with 60,000 each He then fled, in the utmost h aste, and he was in • the right. Had he been amused at Talavera, in steed of being attacked, and had not particular and local circumstances permitted him to pass the Tagus., and escape, bysacrificiog the corps which he left behind him, not a soldier of his army would have again seen Eugland. If ever there was a General wanting foresight, it is certainly Lord Wel lington. If he should long command the English armies, we may flatter ourselves with obtaining great advantages from the brilliant combinations of a General so mexperiencol.in the trade of war.

The report of the conclusion of peace between • France and Austria, which we mentioned yesterday, was perfectly correct. It is confirmed by the err-- vat of the illonittars to the 11th, and Dutch papers to the 14th inst. The Treaty of Peace was signed, according to one account, on the 19th last, and, ac cording to another, on the 3d inst. Alteisburgh, Schoenbrtinit, and Vietnia,are each mentioned as the scene; hat the most probable case is, that the in strument was executed on the 9d at Vienna.— That the event has taken place, is, however, certain. It was officially announced to the in habitants of Amsterdam on the 10th, by the firing of cannon, ringing of bells, and other demonstrations of joy. Besides the statements in the Dutch Ga zettes, Government have received a confirmation of the event, in dispatches front the Commander of our troops at Walcheren. Several corroborative accounts had resell N.l that island; and, on the 14th, the bade rie and gun-bouts at Zurich Zee tired's/en-de-joie on the occasion. The terms of the treaty have not transpired ; but m the peace is denominated 0 , glorious" for France, we may presume that they are humiliating to Austria. It is rumoured that the Emperor FRANCIS gives rip Carinthia, Car niole, Stiria, Istria, and Upper and . Lower Austria, together with Presburgh-wthat he abandons also Gallic's, and consent, to relinquish his title of Em peror of AUSTRIA. If this he true, the terms are humiliating indeed, and the star of Austria is see for ever ! Nothing certain, however, is yet known on this interesting subject. The Dutch Papers merely mention, that the principal obstacle in the progress of the negociation arose front the reluct ance t f the Emperor FR•NCIS to give up Spalatro to the French; to which, however, he at length not only consented, but greatly enhanced the merit of his compliance, by the cession of the whole of Dalmatia. The Paris Papers state, that relnys of horses for the Emperor were ready at Munich on the tat inst. and it was expected that he would leave Scbocubruou on the 1d or 4th, on his return to Paris. 11,. NIAJEATT came to town, yesterday, and held a Levee. The report of the arrival of Mr. It. PIAIDAS SAL' N Units does nut appear to have been founded in fart, as he was not present. No pro gress whatever was made in the repairs of the Cain net, and the only business of importance that took place was un order fur the farther prorogation of Parliament, from the td of November to the Iwgisming of December.—.lt is thus obviously the intention of the Premier, to defer the meeting of Parliament until after Christmas. Some per sona think, that he means, in the interval, to endeavour to bring about a negociation for peace with France. We have noticed, in a for mer paper, that a report to that effect was in circulation, and we find that it gains ground. —lt has, probably, however, no ether origin, than the ackuowledged difficulty of his situation ; as his most zeelons friends admit, thamothing, but some extraordinary event, can enable him to stand his ground. Ilia total inability to meet Parliament may, however, sufficiently account for its proroga tion to so late a period, at such a momentons crisis.

Me, HORN was also very successful in the duet with Mr. puiLiwes. and encored in the song of Love's but a blossom. indeed, the whole Opera was •td iniralily performed. and received with repeated *plaudits by a brdliaut and crowded audience. The Earl end Countess of Oiamottp, and several, other Nobility, were present. cortme-eutese. Last night. the comedy of Oats was per. formed at this Theatre. and (at far as it was audi.. ble) much to the satisfaction of a crowded house. Every thing e ns usual, wore a peaceable avert, un til the adniissism of the half-price men, who have usurped to thenseelyes the exclusive right of dis turbauce.

Inherit that gay, delightful, fascinating com pound of contradictions, which the Poet drew • in Rorer. While Mr. Lewis was on the stage, this character was considered peculiarly his own ; e nd his own it certainly was ; but, now that his " dramatic life" has terminated, we du not he sitate to pronounce Mr. Jones, froin the specimen alma night, the Rorer of the present dey., Mr. Emery, in Juhx Dory, displayed grett powers, but by nu means his greatest ; we should prefer seeing him, at any time, corniogfrosi die country, to com ing front sea ; in both canes, he is certaiuly the great actor; but in one ease he is the great actor, oat of his line. Ephraim Smooth, by Mr. Situ 11101lb, was very stiff and rely prim, eves for a Quaker. Mr. Liston performed the part ot with his usual success. The character of Lady Amaranth is too sedate for Miss Norton ; she, nevertheless, acquitted herself with great propriety. The Amelia, of Mrs. Emery, and the Jens, of Mrs. Gibbs, were also supported with talent. In short, the performance was, altogether, so judicious, as to produce the utmost satisfaction, as far as it was heard, and the utmost indignation against these who caused the suppression of any part of it.—To return to the tumult—lt was , we are happy to say. much less than CM the preceding night. Ne pla curds made their appearance, until the very last scene of the last act, and then their duration was on short, that it was imposeible to read one of them throat:hoot. There were a few scuffles in the pit. wilice soon outwitted. Some showers of bills pro ceedecl, es usual, from the upper boxes ; but they were not acconipanied with the same applause as upon former Crect4inrys. The Luck and tollowed ; but, from the con tinuation of the tumult, no part of it was audible. Many placards were hoisted in the pit, but their elevation was very transitory ; eni so i;reat an ef fect had the" PublicAylice, Busmstreet," upon these performers, that the most active malcontent,: took ;iced of them, as it' they burnt their lingers with the touch.

We have therefore the consolation to think, that this diegrachil scene will no snore be re peated in a manner so offensive to decency is it has been.
