We this morning received 'Paris Papers to the 23d inst. from which,the following are extracts : WARSAW,. OCT. 3.---According to private letters from MoscoW, the French troops are constructing barracks there, which twill be finished in.. 15 days. An age will scarcely. repair the damage which the fire has caused to Moscow and the Russian pire. , BERLIN, OCT. 13.—Nalco• WitAlgGiL, Aid-de- Camp to his Majesty, arrived here last night.— Ile brings intelligence of a brilliant victory which the Russian troops have gained in Courland. The Garrison of Riga having been, since the 19th September, reinforced with from 20 to 30,000 men, Lieut.-General ESSEN, Governor of. that place,' resolved to..surprise the Prussian corps, who .occupied, in three divisionS, separated from each other by impenetrable marshes, a cir cuit of nine Oerman miles. On the 26th the Riissian3 menaced the ,post of Tamozna, repulsed Colonel. Holig's CaMID Guards, and marched with cOnsiderableforces against Gen. D' YORK. The general officer wlito had made a reconnoissance upon the high road from Mittau to Riga, determined to abandon the post of Olac, join Colonel HORN, and march upon Ekaw. Scarcely bad this junction been effected, when the enemy, on the 27th, appeared with superior forces. It was evident that their intention was to seize upon the besieging park of artillery col lected at Ruhenthal, and oblige us to abandon, at least for the'present, the, siege of Riga. General D'York, fell back upon Bauske, and on the 28th marched behind the Aa to Ruhenthal, to defend the artillery. Oa the 29th, in the. morning, Gen. KLEIST'S brigade having arrived. at Rnhenthal, General D' Yorc. was on the point of assuming the defen sive, when be was informed that the Russians had pasied the Aa,, not far from the GraVenthal.' He sent Gen. KLE/ST'S left wing upoh the left bank of theriver Aa, where the advanced guard, under the orders of Col. JEANNERET, had already successfully commenced the attack. From this moment a very bloody.action commenced, the Russians Nvere re pulsed, and obliged to recross the Aa, with the loss of 500 prisoners. On the-30th, the enemy were pursued on both banks of the Aa, they were overt: , en at SelOok ..bolf, where battle was given them. They were .driven from their position. The. 3d regiment of Russian hussars, and a battalion of the 25th; laid down their -arriis before ;the 3d Prussian regi.nent of hussars. • On the Ist of October they were still further re pulsed, and, almost all the regimentS dr'agoonsrand Finland Cossacks wei.e sahrAd. The Russianscie camped (iring the night, and retired upon Pe= teishoff.and Olac. On eic 2d, we began to pursue them, but they hastened to re'.enter Riga., We have taken from t leru• about 20 CossaChs and sonic sth::;gler-- A chough these advantages have not been gained without some loss on the Prussian side, "neyer- theless it is not 'in proportion with that of t , le enemy, whose loss may, without. exaggeration, be calculated at from 4to 5000 men. We have laken 2500 prisoners and a cannon. Such are the results of the battles which the Prussian troops gave from the 27th September to the 2d October, by means of which they not only succeeded in saving the park of artillery destined for the siege of Riga, but also to maintain' and confirm all the left wing of the allied army, in its important position. - Tile Prussian troops: have entered into the capi t d of Couriand, and positions they ante- occupied. OA may judge of the importauce of this • tory by the cagernbSs of thd GovCriioi of Riga t 9 run froth Riga to Mittati, to .organize a provilkce he already considered a 3 re-conquered. , PARIS, OCT: 21.—According to commercial let . letters received from the grand'army, his ?,.talesty i t organizing a provisionary Adthinistration, re gulating . the employment of the great re sources which the city of Moscow still of fers ; so that the wants of , the inhabi tants are, insured.' The army finds 'every thing requisite to refresh the soldier after hi:, fa tigues, and to complete 'the maga-Lines wkh all .kinds of provisions. The greater part of the- army is cantoned in the city. The soldier is served with good pelisses. We can do every thing that may be useful or commodious for the future. Whilst these • cares occupy the Con queror, the enemy have taken refuge between Tulla and Kallouga, and there with difficulty as semble their scattered bands, and appear to wait to see the.direction which the conqueror shall think proper to, take, to obey movements which they - are bo longer in a condition to command. The French advanced posts towards the South extend along the fertile banks of the Pakwa. Dispatches were yesterday received from the Marquis of WELLINGTON, the. substance of which was publishedin the following , . OFFICIAL BULLETIN! WATt DF,PARYMEN'f.—DoivNING-srnEtt, OCT. 25. it appears by a liispatch received this morning front the Marquis of WELLINGTON, dated Vila Toro, 116 'October, that the enemy had made two sorties, in whiCh tricy had materially injared our works, and we had suffered some loss. In the last, Major COCKS, of the 7th, who has so fre quently distinguished himself, Was unfortunately killed. Notwithstanding the efforts of the enemy, our troops were established within about 100 yards' of the enemy's interior line. 'A good breach had , been effected in another part of the same line, and' our troops were established close to tl:e breach.-- 7 The enemy were still upon the Ebro, and had not !bade any movement to interrupt our operations.

We are not at alisurprised at the vexation ma nifested by the Party at the result of the elections in almost every part of the :Empire; indeed, so many circumstances have occurred, within the last. three or four years, to soar their tempers, that we should be most mireaonable if we were not .to make every allowance for those little ebullitions of fretfulness which we daily witness. ,We may, however, be allowed just to remind our Readers, that the same Party who have for four years been " predicting prophecies'.' of the defeat of our. army in the Peninsula, were quite as liberal of their predictions of the defeat of the , pres2nt Ministers, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament. The public, we were told, (aye, and with an - appearance of gravity too,) were de sirous of seeing " the Talents" restored' to office; the pre-sent Ministers, it was said, did not po'ssess public confidence, and it ,was boldlyafirmed that they dared not make an/appeal to the pc ,pie by a dissolution of Parliament. The appeal has been Made, and the result has, in nit - mist every instance, beliedlhe.predictions pf the Party. The Chmlicle of this day has, however, kindly condescended to let us into the secret of the lamentable diminution which " the Talents"' are likely to display in the ensuing Parliainent. We are glad that,theChivL j~niele:bas condeScendeti to give Ifs a little infor mation upon this subject; for ire never should • • ' have been able to hard found b . :,& the 'truth bY 6nrselves. It seems that almiist all the great Whig - Patriots who have lost their seats in Par liament might have been returned if . they chO.sef. We have had ourselves" says the Chronicle . , portimitieS of seeing, invitations from every part of the kingdom to Candidates possessing the prin..- ciples of the late revered Mr. Fox, and those invita tions politely declined." - tatter so positive an asser tion it would be rude to express any doubt of the fact ; but our Readers Will be quite astonished to know the cause of this wonderful forbearance of those patriotic gentlemen. They - did not withhold their services from their country ",from any apprehen sion of contest, 'but because the long speeches, the incessant altercation, and the general apathy the people, indisposed theme to a further sacrifice of theii health, in a cause, of which the coun try itself seems to **pair." This sneer against Messrs. WHITBREAD, ,BROUGIINM, sand I - luTclmtsoN, about ‘` long speeches," ire think rather strange in a friend of the Party; and with respect to the two last.-men tinned Gentlemen (ore of whom has been, and the other of whom is,.we trust, on the point of being defeated) somewhat cruel. With ,regard to the apathy which the Chronicle talks of, we do not 'know when it 'bus been manifested except in the City of Westminster. Does the .Chronicle al bide to Yorkshire, to Surrey, to . London, to Bris tol, or to Liverpool ? we should think not.— Indeed, the Party Seem to have taken a sudden, but by no means an unaccountable, dislike to the manner is which the popular franchise has 'been . exercised by" numerous bodies," and seem to have acquired a strong fancy for "pocket . boroughs." We have not room to pursue this subject further at present; we shall only observe, that we fear' that in the Irish. Return the Party will find more grounds for vexation. The resnit of the election at Newry, and the state of the Polls for Tipperary and Cork, will, we are inclined to think, increase the. dislike of the exercise of. the popular fran chise by " numerous bodies.", , CONTESTED ELECTIONS.

TiiE THEATRE.—AII Opera, entitled The Lord of the Manor, origivally represented at ,Drury lane-Theatre, in the ‘, , .ear 1781, written by Gene ral BURGOYNE, and the music of-which was coin- posed by the celebrated JACKSON, of'Exeter, was revived on Saturday last, at Covent-Garden Thea tre. It is needless, for bus to give any, account of the fable of a piece which, on account of the high connections -of the author, and the excel knee- of the music, made sonic noise at the time when it was first represented, and which has tong been in print. We did not observe, as far as we can recollect the original, that any particular al teratimihas been made in the plot. The piece it self is not • recommended by any striking portion of . dramatic merit, but it is not devoid of interest, and it has an agreeable variety in the. charac ters. That of Young Contrast, however; though very well performed by JONES, is a despicable fop of fashion, even worse, perhaps,' than can be found among those who come drunk to the Thea tre, and annoy all decent persons who haVe the misfortnne to be near them. Much of the, original music of JACKSON is retained, but we were 'surprised that the most admired of his airs in the, piece, " - Rest beauteous Flower," was omitted. The new overture and two songs have been supplied by Bismir, and they are pleasing as well as scientific. The 'rest of the sone's were compof:ed by MeSsrs. T. WEL3iI, DOYLE . , DAVY, and. RE'EYE, and they, are all very creditable to the taste and talents of their respective authors. P.4o4 . ,EbtiN was encored in '''Anna's Urn,'' which be sung with evident emotion, as the -song bore a striking relatiOn to his own domestic loss. He was also encored in another song, composed by JACKSON, as well as in one by DAVY, and he gave them ,all with siMplicity and effect.. SINCLAIR also had an encore, and the whole of the airs as signed to him were executed with sweetness and in. a good taste. , Miss _BO L TON, MrS4 STIRLING, and Mrs, LtsTozsr:sustained the other vocal cha racters, and severally ..acquitted themselves very, well, particularly the first and the last, who_ dis 7 played much.cornic FAWCETT, in Sir John, Contrast, .tipplied.sufficient humour and spirit.— MATHEWS, in a Frenehyied footinan, was quite at home - , and as diverting as the,scope , of the part allowed.. LISTON, in Moll F l ag` fart, a slatting woman-, displayed his 'usual ludicrous eccentricity. The other parts were sustained 'with the rennisite ability. If this Opera is, not supported by vigor ous, or spalkling dialogue, or by any strong in terest in the fable, it abounds with "such pleasing music, is so well executed by the Performers,. and the acting altogether is so respectable, that it affords a very amusing repast for a mixed audience, and people of a higher taste must be fastidious indeed, if .they arc not amused with the general merit of the representation. The piece was well received by a numerous audience. AVM. LW , S.
