FROM THE LONDC.)N' GA.ZETTE, OCT. 17. WAR DEPARTMENT. Downing-street, Oct. 17, 1811. A dispatch, of which the following is..ari ex tract,. has,been this morning received at Earl Ba thurst's Office, addresSed to his Lordship by: Get rieral the Marquis of Wellington; dated, Villa 'Coro, the sth October, 1812.. . One of the mines which had been prepared under the exterior line of the castle of Burgos,oyas, ex- ploded at. Midnight- of the 29th, and effected a breach in. the wall, which some of the.party, des tined to attack it, were enabled to storm ;, but owing to the darkness of,.the sight, the detach ment Who were to support the advanced party,- missed their, way, and the advance were drix en off the breach again before tlicycould be effec tually suppOrted. - The breach effected by the Mine was not of a cleseriptinn to bt stormed except . at the moment of the explosion, and it was neces sary to' improve it by fire, before the attempt could be repeated. But all our_ endeavours to construct batteries in the best situation to fire upon the wall failed, in consequence •of the- great su periority of the . enemy's fire. In the mean time another mine- 'had' , been placed under the which was ready yesterday, anti a fire was .opened yesterday morning, from a, battery constructed un der cover of the hOrnwOrk. ' The fire from ibis battery improved the breaCh . first niade f . and the explosion of the mine, at five o'el:ock yesterday evening, effected asecOndbreach. .were immediately stormed by the 2d batta lion of tbe.slth regiment, tinder the command a _Captain l-Pdtkiwick, which -1 had ordered into the treaches'for that purpose . ; • and our. troops were established: within the exterior 'line of the works of the castle of ; Burgos.

(post ED STATES More than 1500 of the inhabitants and free elec tors of the county of Rockingham, in the state of New Hampshire, being assembled in an orderly - and peaceable manner, according to our undoubt ed Constitutional rights, at Brentwood, in said county, on this.sth day of August, 1812, to eon stdt on the common good and_public vvelfare, do now address yon with the respect due to the Chief Magistrate of the nation. - In assembling . to expl'ess, our opnion• 91i -the present_ state' of our national affairs, we are inE cum! not only oy a wish to contribute, as fa• inns towards removing the evils which we feel, and 'averting - the greater evils which. we fear, but also by a sense of the duty we owe to the Su preme Executive 'of the nation. The Chief M igistrate'of OovernMent, which rests on public Opinion, and which can only look for the sup Port of its measures to the approbation 'Of the people, !Nis a right to be informed, distinct ly and unequivocally, of the sentiments _entertain ed by the eommimity concerning nieasurcr:ofgreat national importance As one Portion of the com munity, deeply interested in the present state of things, and solicitously concerned about their fu ture progress, we beg leave to present you with a brief view; Of 01.11' sentiments antl s opluions. We have witnessed with sincere and deep regret a system of policy pursued by the*G4ieral Goirern tnettt, from the embargo,Of iBO7 to the 'present unit , tendin; most obvionsly, in our view, to the destruction of the commerce of t3ese States. We have not been' indifferent spe&atOrs of thii course of measures. Being inhabitants of the. Atlantic coast, weregard.continerce as a great and , - ess_entiL nl intcret. it is, not only in itself; a leaftiiig pur suit, hutit is most intimately Wended With all on other interests and occupations. . I Coifs, _arising naturally from our local situation, And the nature of our soil and Sroducts, fillet now con' caned by the usage of two centuries, are not to be changed. We bold the right of judging for oiiielves, and have never yet delegated to. any Gove,ranlent the power of deciding for Cis what .pursitits; and occu pations best comport with our interests and" our situation. `When we assented to the National Constitution it was, among other (but none mote inipartant) reasons, to the end that our commerce might be the better protected . and the farther extended. — Taught to regard our right of traversing the seas as - sacred (and it is to us as important) as our right of tilling tbe ground, we have supposed that we sliould never be der rived'of the. former, but for reasons so weighty and important, as would equal ly justify the prohibition of the latter. We ori ginally saw nothing, and can now see nothing, either m the letter or the spirit Of the National Compact ivhich makes it our duty-to acquiescein'a system tending to compel.us. to abandon our ,na tural and accustomed pursuits.. We regard the Constitution as " an instrument . of preservation, not of changc. We take its intention to .have been, to protect, by the strong arm of the whole nation, the interests of each particular section, It could not therefore be without • alarm ,and appre hension, that we perceived in the - geueral Govern ment a disposition to , embarrass and enthral commerce-by repeated restricions, and to Make war by shutting up our own ports. - Still. gteater Was our concern, wh'en we iieard ourselves admo nished finally , to retire from the seas, and to pro vide ourselves those, comforts and coeveniencies of life, for which it would be unwise ever more to recur to distant countries. * 'We. do not hesitate to say,.that we deem this langulge equplly uncon stitutional and arrogant; and it woUld be with infinite regret, mingled with other strong emo tions, that we should perceive ,a tined and settled resolution in the General 'Government . -to enforce this exhortation by the authority •of law, and to accumulate upon us, in the intervals of a ,w,,zr„, a ponderous and' crtnbing svStem of Restriction, Non-Importation, ~Non-Intercourse, and gm hargo. • .The alarni excited in our minds by the favcurite and long-continued "Aestrictive System"' is rais-': still _higher Lv the late . declarat:on of war against Great Britain, an event which, we` believe, in ;the iresent defenceless state of the country, Nv li be productive of evils or incalculable magni tude. We are not, Sir, among those who feel an tin _ manly rebictance to the privations, or n nervous sensibility.to the dangers of war. Many of us had the honour of aiding, by our humble efforts, in the establishment 'of our' . independence) and of ex posing our lives - , in more, than one field of danger arid blood, in Our country's service. We are ready to meet those scenes again, whenever it can be shewn that the vindication of ee rational honour or the preservation of our e9sentiql rights deMands it. We shall not be :none slow than others to as pire after distinction in . any cause in which dis tinction would be. honourable. • If we could perceive that the present war was just ; if we could conceive that our ,rights and li berties required it if we epuhl conceive that no Administration, however' Wise, honest, or impar tial, could have carried us clear,of it ;.-if we could perCeive its expediency, atid.a reasonable hone of obtaining its professed objects ; if we could per ceive -these things„ the war would, in some mea sure., cease to be horrible. It would grow tolera .hte in the idea, as its expediency should be made manifest. Its iron and bloody features would soften., as its : justice grew apparent. Give : us but to see that, this war bath clear justice, necessity, ,and expediency on its . side, and we are ready to pour out our treasure and our blood ire its prose cution; . . But we are constrained to say, that we cannot, in conscience ascribe the foregoing character iAics to the present war. We arc not, Sir, the apologists of other nations, nor will our voice &el- be heard, to varnish wrongs inflicted - either on the interest or honour of our native land. But . . . 4 Mr. - Jefferson's Letter to the Legislature of New Hamp shire,. August, 1308. -.ye deem it necessary-to eyeryiestifiable war, e not only 'that its justice be.as and yirrible light of HeaVen, but that its 3 objects be distinct: and .clear, - in order that every man may perceive . them"; that they be great, in oi-der, that every Man perceive their importance; that they be pro bably attainable, in order that every citizen may be eneouraxed to contend for thern.-- 7 We are Wholly mistaken, if the eati.es as,Agried fcr the present war against ,England will bear the - test of these principles. - . , The hhortitsment of onr seamen, the most Plausible and popular of the alleged causes of war, we :Relieve t he.ve been; the - subject of: great mis , eepresee•lien. We have as, much sympathy asinthers Who stiffer under tnti abuse of power. i(e.e there •are instantei of this abuse.
