With respect to the Move nient upon - DinitroW, believe the motive of it. was to conceal the movement, which, according to-all accounts I have received, the enemy at the same time made on our Grand Army. I have this morning sent off ordrs , again to Occupy the town of WOshusensk, towards which the pqtroles . sent byMajot Figleu daily approach.

ALCOY, 0cT.'14,---The enemy have so great ly debilitated the points Of their line, that we lieve they will retreat when least expected.

ALICANT, OCT. 8.--The 'desertions from the enemy are great. Soult has left many of his men 'in the hospitals of Granada, &c. and by the de , setters' accou'nts lie has brought* immense num, ber of carts full of - sick and wounded.' General Maitland has, from ill health, , been obliged tb return to Sicily. A detachment of.the 81st regiment, consisting 0f,,500 men, left .65 on the evening of the 3d, with,loo grenadiers' of,De Roll's and 40 artillery and artificers, to endeavour to surprise the Castle' of Denia, where the Gene ral supposed they had a depot of corn, and the garrison reduced , s(r to men ; they left us they did not knoW of Soult.',l4‘ being sic , near: they were taken round in the Fame and Bustard. • The sickness is abating in Carthagerra, and our medi cal men deny the existence of the yellow fever ; but there certainly has Seen a fever of some sort, which affected our ,troops in the Calera. Near , 200 of the 67th regiment were in the hospital; and, several of the towns-people died. . Our.lo. 7 —The detachment from Denia returned yesterday,, upon findingthe enemy had 'stifficient men to defend the place. On the afternoon of the Bth, the enemy pushed forward a detachment of about 500 cavalry, sup ported by a regiment, of infantry, and attacked our piquet's in Trdrit of St. Vicente. It "put us. all *on the alert; dna there was.skirmishing,for two hour's. What the enemy had in their rear we know -not, but they retired to Montforte in the night, in consequence of a considerable force ap pearing the same day in front of Tibe and Xixona. The Spanish troops 'stationed there (the former unaer Major, :;.nd the latter under Gen. Roche) fell back on Aluchtimul. . Our troops did not quit the post of St. Vicente; and if the enemy has left Xixonas '(Which we shall kbow this *morning), it will again be occupied by Roche's division. Oar loss in the .skirmish amounted to three or four killed, and•iiine or ten WQii ed , mostly cavalry. Besides these; a detachment of the Calabrese were-. pushed too far forward, and cot consisted Of one English Officer;, oneeC i alabrese ditto; and twenty-five my c n.

The King, under standing that the orders lately issued against, the further exportation of graiii - have been shamefully. evaded, has issued another.decree confirming all the former orders, and subjecting those .who. shall guilty.of clandestinely exporting wheat, bar ley, or pulse, out of theKingdoM; if they should be - NobleS, to imprisonment in a fortress for life; and if of ameaner i rank, to the gallies for life, and, eonfiscation of their godds‘; and with - the punish ment of death if the same should he done, or at tempted; with an' armed force.

BENEVENTE, OCT. 27.--We now have here a part of the sub-inspection and principid chest of the army, which, with the allies, were, ,on the 25th, in Valladolid, to the neighbourhood of which, and thal of Palencia, the enemy were ap proaching. The officers and soldiers 'vho formed he escort, assert, that it is not a retreat on our part; it is one of those retrograde movements . which the wise Wellington knows so well how to adopt,' amffrom which great advantages are ex pected. It is also said . that at the departure of the Courier, the enemy's van-guard had been beaten not far 'from Torquemado, which gente was probably well founded, because it tran quilized men's minds, and the Adniinistrador, who w;th others were preparingto depart, chang ed their intentions:- If - ,our army continues to fall back, we cannot at present determine whether itavill.procced towards Madrid or Salamanca.

The. unsettled and wet NVCailie:r which We ii October, alarmed the inhabitants of this. nerr - ern, clitnare with a dreA, that the corns which Were in the shooks, not cat down, would be liable to much injUry. This.however bas„not: been the case; - as the. _riiint were generally succeeded by fine drying, ?.ILlpough not shaking- x6nds, me coiisequeut the damage sustained has been, truly immaterial. The rerriarkable fide weather of last week was partiettlarly favourable for 'taking in, and clearing the, fields, in, even the most cold and bleak parts of the - country ; and i.v . onderfA to tell, consider- , . ing the 'lateness of the season and the once iitt‘ promising appearante . the whole crops o ' Scot land are now neaidst in th e tr:lrn-yar .; and that too in tolerable condition. in . close situations, or in small wooded incloswes, not admitting the • air, the corns may have suffered considerably. The cpiautity of grain is, certainly abov-. ati average crop, but as to the quality, that is ftrhaps, not yet fully ascertained—hmvev6., be that as it may, it undoubtedly has not ly( a so much injured as alleged H : :to - establish this point, we shall quote the words' of a sensible agriculthral reporter for the middle ward of Lanarkshire. " The crop, to this day (October 29) is no way dashed nor wasted with storms, blasts,':mildews, or frosts 'and it seidom came to thse sickle in greater abun-, dance, or in more complete` maturity:"---In steer however, a middle course s between the-grow , ling alai:mist, and the sanguine describer, the - truth perhaps may be f6und, medic tutissinics iris. This maxim 'Mill prevent us . from gie 7 iny, way 'to unne cessary fears _on the one hand, •ancron the other not to trust too much to 'oat• abundance, ~ s o as to make us neglect economy, which was unh.appil; the case inthe,crop of fast year. In short, after'a minute investigation and titillation, into what w; C. have seen, and hito what We have heard, we conclude - that prices will not greatly decline, elthotigh there is undOubtedly more than an average crop i n -th e country , w hil e it must be adthitted, that in,several districts some part of it will be found to be light and unsound. WIGTOSHIRE QU'ARTERLY REPORT Harvest commenced rather late tb;,to otherwise, and the farther it advaneed, the, weather became the less favourable. • High winds have not been very Injurious, but rains have been frequent and atten tion and great exertion have been requisite, and it Eras only been on a small proportion of farms that the crop has been secured without very consider-' able loss.'- It is an old remark, that the weather during harvest resembles that of seed-time. This year, however, has furnished an exception, and is likely to be remembered.as such. Wheat is certainly the hest crop, - end oats Fro bably the worst; but upon the whole, - had har vest, proved propitious, the crop,in general would have rather exceeded an average. Cold and-late soils Kaye of course suffered worst inTheir pro d-ace, and indeed, in some such situatioas,.harvest is scarcely yet concluded. • Tile effect of, these misfortunes must be felt at Market, but perhaps, like last year,. the extent .11:ay not be ascertained. until the following spring be far advanced, and then a dearth, short but severe, mayagain•occur. This should be guarled against by cs'ery• pru dent mean••, for high prices are a national cabs mity, and can never ultimately enrich the great class of agriculturists. , Potatoes appeared in most • situations highly promising, hut the wetness for some 'time paste must likewise have. hurt them much, and a con , siderable proportion of that estimable crop is already . consumed ; at least, a Much larger pro portion than Usual,. owing to the excessive scar-' city of meal before harvest. Turnips are not gaining ground in this district; and will probably never be extensively cultivated. where not fed Off, at least in - part by sheep. This season, however, they are a prettY fair crop: • Fallows have not been in good order to sow with 'wheat for. a considerable, time, ,and where that grain is meant to succeed potatoes, it has `not yet been procticable to sow to, any consider able extent. There is istilLa demand for cattle, but prices arc understood to be reduced, and - as fodder will in Liauy . instances:turn out of inferior quality, pru dence would require the winter'stock to be pretty limited.---NoYEkEEIi . 5. • At Kels6 fair, on Tuesday, there was an indif, ferent show - of cattle ; those fat for the b u t c h er brought front 9s. 6d. to lOs. a per stone, sinking •offals ; wintsrers brptight pretty good prices.— There"was a good .number of horses in the mar ket, but very few good ones; sale dull. • We are happy to learn, 'by a late arrival from Snetland, that, since our last advic-es, the wet her has taken' a very favourable turn,, and that Cie crops in that country will by no means be -so de ficient as formerly represented. The . bean crop , .has improved Much, and is expected to be tOle.r ably good; the potatoes also proMise 'well in many parts of the country, so that it is hoped the supplies required will be trifling, in Compari son of what was'sometime ago dreaded.
