L - 0 N D 0 N, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10,481'2.. A Letter was received in town yesterday from Newcastle, stating the arrival at Sunderland of a cutter from tbe,Baltie, bringing a report that a dreadful battle had been fought close to Moscow, the 15th, 16th, - And 17th ult. ; that in the first two days the French had the advantage, but on the third, victory decided in favour of the Rus sians. From the circumstances accompanying the report,• there is no doubt that it entirely relates to the battle of Borodino. A rumour of a contrary nature was also brought 3friterday frOm Morlai;c, namely, that g negocia tion had commenced between France and Russia ; that the Emperor ALEXANIYEE: had solicited an armistice from BuoNArAkTE, Which was granted upon the following terms being conceded as.pre liminaries to a Treaty, ,viz.:—Moscow to remain in possession of the Fren eh during the winter; gus sla to become a member of the Confederation ; to pay 70 millions of francs, to shut her ports ::,ainst England, and, finally, that the Grand Duke CON STAN TINE shall be sent to the , French head-quar ters as a hostage for the performance of these conditions. ' We feel it our duty thus to state the par ticulars of ,this rumour, to which publicity has been given ; but it would be a gross libel on the Emperor ALEXANDER to suppose that there can be any truth in it,_ nor do we believe one word of it. Boo:cap/turn may, very probably, have imagined lat by entering Toseow he should intimidate . the EMPEROR, and impose his own terms of Peace ; but the destruction of that capital, as stated in the 19th Bulletin, (the authenticity of which We see no reason to dispute) is the strongest proof that could be given by the Emperor of Ilttis'slA of his determination to continue the 'war.

Lord COCIIRAI4I and *.FII4NCIS I3unnETT Were fully apprised of / the day when the Election for West minster took place, neither of them concleseended to appear,On the hustings. They seemed, indeed, to be .as, much ashamed' of their suppsrtcrs as nista/ was of his ragged troops, with whom he declined to march through Coventry: It is strange hpowerful • • that - with so many wealthy a inhabi tants as Westminster contains, the power of elect- 7 . Representatives ; shoulU be left to such men as the Burdettites. Nothing,can •he more degrad , ini..; than such supineness in so respectable a City, wnen any resolute stir on the part of the higher and more reputable' inhabitantS: would effectually have rescued the Representation from - such hands : As to the conteniptuous absence of the two Can didates, it is rather a subject for satisfaction than regret', as v thereby the public escaped some in flammatory hafangues that would only have tend ed to excite diSturbancesumong the populace, and afterwards to raise disgust through, the columns of JaCobin newspapers. But that the choice of Re presentatives , should have fallen into such hands as those who have elected the Representatives for Westminster -is truly' lamentable. If the same inertness should prevail among tne more dignified, opulent, and respectable - , of the constituent body throughout the Empire, there will be an end to that gliirious Constitution which h: - .3 long been considered as the triumph of 'political 'sagacity, aided by the maturing_ operations of time and ex perience. W earnestly, therefore, "'exhort the Electors all over the United • Kingdom, to take warning by the lamentable fate of Westminster, and to confer their suffrages only on menf who arc decided friends to our excellent establishment in Church and State. If a majority of those men should be returned to Parliament who affect such a liberal toleration as would remove every safeguard . • placed round that establishment by' the wisdom and the virtue Of our,ancestors, we may expect that our posterity will be elqposed to all the hor rors that attended a Roman Catholic ascendancy in former tunes. The Ronian Catholic faith, its disciples declare, is unchanged and unchangeable, and therefore it is not bigotry, but 'wisdotn and self-defence, to gnaird against it, as it may be ex pected when in po'wer,, to do a-gain what it baS clone before. We are far, from wishing that politics should ever be introduced in our pulpits, but we conceive that it is particularly the duty of. the Ministers of our religion to raise a warning voice against the progress of Popery, and to counteract its efforts by the utwOst exvrtion of their zeal and ability. Too many of our Reformers will stick at nothipg to get into Power, and " in the shipwreck' of the State, trifles would float and be preserved, while every thing valuable would sink to the bottom; and be lost_for ever." Yesterday the SWEDISH AmßAssAnort, Lord LI VERPOOL, artd Lord CASTLEREAGH, had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton House. Yesterday evening summonses were issued from the Earl of LIVERPOOL, for a Cabinet Council to assemble this day at the Foreign Office. . A Gentleman who left Santander in a British ship of war, .on Wednesdayse'nnight, states, that the Marquis of WELLINGTON was in Burgos, and it was • expected that the Castle, whicli is com manded by the bill of St. Michael, would surren der in a few days. It was provided With a garri son of from 1500 to 2000 men. The main body of the French army, late Under- MARmoNT, bad retreated - in .the direction of Miranda del,Ebro. A new expedition bad been undertaken to Gua tierra, situated on the coa'st, a few leagues to the west of St.. Sebastian. It consisted of about 4000 Spaniards, under General MENDIZABEL, and four' or five hundred marines from the squadron com manded by Sir HOME. POPHAM. The result of thiii enterprise was not known at the time the ship of war left Santander. Letters have reached town flout Boston, of the 11th ult. By these we learn, that' in consequenee of Mr. MADISON'S determination to persevere in w the ar'against this country, he had beComeex ceedingly unpopular ; and Mr. DE WITT CLIN TON, on the solicitation of a numerous and power ful body of citizens, had consented to oppose him at the. next election for a President. This gentle man, who, bad hitherto professed similar princi ples to Mr. MAntsoN, has of late expressed him- . 'self in strong terms on the impoiicv of the war with Great Britain, which he very justly charac terises as " frivolous and vexatious." .1 influ ence with the ilernocratie party is considerable, especially with the more moderate amongst them.; and the Federalists, to a rhan, have promised him their support. A ealculation has already been made of the respective interests of the Candi dates : and it is thought that the election will de pend on the part taken hythe majority in Penn-_ sylvania. Letters, 14y way of America, have heen . reeeiv 7 eft from Calcutta, to the 1 6th of 'April. The Cornwall and Barrosa, country ships, and the Baring, were to sail front Bengal, for England, in the lattee end Of April. The Charlton and Sir liurroughs.were,taking in cargoes for Eng land.— The. Java, country ship, sailed from Co- lamb°, with rice, on the 10th of April, and was to proceed thence to Java, to take in a cargo of Sugar and coriee fOr England:— , The following is an extract of a letter-- from Stockholm,: dateViSept. 25 :—" Every thing is quiet at this place, and, except two couriers iron Petersburgh, one.of whom arrived here yester day, and the other to-day, and who hrotight with them an account of a victory gained by the Rus sians near Mosk\a, we have no news w,latever. Part of the military in this city has departed, and. is at Da aro ; _but the whole division cannot yet be embarked, as there is a great scarcity of sea r men. The press-gangs are very busy, yet can catch but few. Mr. THORNTON has almost every day interviews with Baron `?ON ENGETROM,. the Prime Minister; and, it is said, that he, has de livered in a strong note on acedunt'nf the delay in .the sailing' of the expedition. The CROW • PRINCE is much beloved, but no one. knows his politics. He has discharged all his French ofii cers and servants, and sent them away to France, except his Equerry." The British Army in CanadS has received a re inforcement of-2000 men by the arrival at Quebec of the Istbattalion Royals, and the 103 d regi . - Ment. Tn'the event of a reconciliation with the United States, this army can 'now furnish a large effeeili , e force to the Peninsula. The 41st and 49th regiments that were ordered home fbr that purpose, have been countermanded, and detained in Canada on account of the DeclaratiOnOf War.

The ceremony was performed by the High Priest of the Jews with great and interesting solemnity. Soon after the Marriage, dinner was announced; at which the Lord Mayor presided with that affability and dignity which distinguish him upon all occasions. As soon as 'the cloth was removed, his Lordship, in a very happy manner; called the attention of the compa ny to the occasion of their meeting, and gave for the first toast—". Health and • happiness to the "Bride and ,Bridegroom." ' To - which the Bride-. groom replied in a very neat and 'appropriate speech, concluding with 'a very handsome andjust eulogium on the public and private virtues of the Chairman, and proposed his health in a bumper, which was drank with th greatest applause. His Lordship rose, and returi4 d thanks for the honour, expressing, at the same ti me, great delight at find-` i ing himself at the head of so numerous a party of Jews and Christians, met together in friendship "'on so happy an occasion. The company were re galed Nvithqi most elegant desert, and entertained with some very fine singing.

" LADIES .1 '2) GENTLENri , ,N, ".The Theatre closes its season this evening ; and I am selected (however unworthy), for the honour of addressing you on this occasion.
