Dispatches have been received from the Marquis of WELLINGTON, dated Villa de Toro, near Bur- gos, 21st September, 1812. His Lordship had been joined on the 16th, at Pamphlica, by three divisions of infantry and a small body of cavalry of the Army of Gallicia, un- der the Captain-General CI - STENOS. On the 17th the enemy took a-strong position behind Celada del _„. Camino, froth which thev retired iii the night.— . _ The enemy, having left a garrison of 2500 men in the Castle of Burgos, continued his retreat thrc,ugh that town to Britiesca, leaving some stores and a large quantity of wheat and barley. 'On the morning of the 19th, the Marquis o. WELLLNGTON passed the river. Arrangon, and the enemy's out-posts were immediately driven in At night the born-works which they had con- structed on the bill of St. Miguel, commanding part of the Castle, and which they had occupied in strength, was stormed and carried.

Accounts were received this day from South America, os which the following Bulletin was is- sued : Downing-street, Oct. 5, 1812. By accounts from Curagoa and St. Thomas, dated the sth and 25th August, it appears the City' of Caraccas capitulated to the Royalist Army, un- . der General MONTEVERDE, on the 28th July, and that La Guira surrendered at discretion on the 31st. General Mut.t; , .DA. is closely imprisoned at the latter place. The greatest distress has been ex perienced at the Caraccas. Corunna Papers reached town this morning to the 25th ult. Souvr is Mated to have altered the line of his retreat, and to have taken the road of La Mancha. There is also a report that SucHET's army had been routed with the loss of 6500 men killed, wounded, and prisoners. The following are extracts : , CORVNNA, SEPT. 23.—Yesterday we received Papers from Madrid,Guadalaxara, Zamora, neigh bourhood of Burgos, &c. &c. By them we are pit in possession of the followilig communica- tion The Madrid Gazette of the 15th inst. says,— We know for certain that SOULT, who made indications of retiring by Hellin, has now taken the road of La Mancha, by the Barranca Hondo, to march for Infantes," We likewise know that between Alcera and Alcoy, StCHET'S army has been routed, with the loss of 6,500 men, in prisoners, killed, and wounded, in consequence of which he was obliged - to retire, information of which undoubt edly induced SouLr to alter his direction, and take a wider and, less difficult road. MADjUD, SEPtt. 15.---From a person' ziorthy of ,• . • every credit,-we. know that hitherto there has not been the _least sign .of any reinforcement coming from France. .' • SEPT. 25.—dnthe 4th inst. disitnbarked in Ali cant, Gen. Elio, with 3000 men ; it is said he is to take the command of the .army of the • centre, which bad 'received. orders to hold itself in readi ness to march,. but we are ignorant what is to be its destination ; sonic believe that this resolution has caused,SotmT's retreat, who is reptirtecl to be in Guailix and Baza, and who will probably de sist from marching towards the points of - Loca and Murcia, on account of the plague having ma nifested itself in these two cities.;, On the Gth O'DokNEL was still in Heflin, with all his infantry, the English General MAITLAND, with 4is troops, were in the neighbourhood of Alicante ; and General ROCHE in AlcoY, with the reserve of that army. • - The French were in Alcbra, and their advance extended to S.Tilipe ; upon their right flank there were 500 horse belonging to the 3d army ; and General FRERE was in Albacete, with the 're mainder of the cavalry. It is to he hoped that the Spanish and English . will effect in that part of the Peninsula similar scenes 'to thoSe•acted, in Castile, and that shortly the enemy on the Ebro, will be Obliged to confine themselves to its frontiers, even under shelter of the `important places gair.ed by perfidy, and the diabolical machinations of NAPOLEON and his agents. . CORUNNA, SEPT. 24.—8 y letters from Madrid, it appear's that the. Holy Tribunal of the Inquisi tion had been•re-established. MADRID, 'SEPT. 15.—The French have eva cuated the cities of Tilrazona and Borga, whose garrisons, after having demolished the fortifica tions, marched for Zaragossa, supported by 300 'infantry and 200 horse, which, for this purpose, had marched from that capital. This is an un equivocal proof of the fear - Which accompanies the French, and of the necessity under which they are of concentrating their forces in order to main tain themselves for any time, • CoRUNNA, SEPT. 23.—A1l communication; and the entry of provisions in the cities of Soria and Vitoria, have been interrupted. . Besides the garrisons of Tarazona, and , Boya, those from Mallen, Ahnunia, and Calatayud have also fallen back to Zaragosa. MASSENA has arrived at Bayonne without artillery. A train consisting of 27 pieces, which he brought with him has received orders to fall back. It is said he will enter Spain with 5000 men, and that he is to replace MARimos - T. General MINA, in different actions during the month of August; has occasioned the enemy a loss of more than 2000 men. A Malta and Gibraltar Mail arrived last night, bringing Gibraltar Papers to the 26th ult. and ac counts from Malta and Sicily to the 27th of Au guSt.—lt is again reported, that the British troops had effected a landing at Cattaro, but there is no thing respecting it, except the mere rumour. An atrocious plot against the Parliament of Sicily was attempted to be carried into effect on the 12th of August, but the explosion taking place sooner than was intended, happily no mischief was done.- A Gottenburgh Mail arrived last night, but brought no intelligence of importance, the Papers containing no fresh accounts from Russia, nor any thing further respecting the Swedish Exk,edition.
