SULEM QUIS DICEUE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1812. This morning we .received Corunna. Papers, Erin which the following are extrects CORUNNA,OCT. 29.—LordWELLINGToN,know jag of the junction of SOULT and SU CHET, and that they intended to make an excursion to Ma drid, for Which purpo. , e they had already arrived at Belmonte, marched from the neighbourhood of Burgos, to reinforce General HILL, and prevent any fortunate result for the French.---(Corunna Diary, Oct. 30.) TOLEDO, OCT. 12.--SOULT with . 13,000 in fantry and .7000 horse, is approaching, and is al ready in' San Clement,,but notwithstanding this, we are perfectly easy, as our forces are superior. MEDICO'S horse are gone to join PENNE and Mo itiLLos, and the MEDICO, remains ad interim Go 'yernor of this place, with all his infantry, Which he is endeavouring to a ugment•---(CorunnU Diary, Ociob'er.) MADRID, OCT. 19.—The van-guard of SOULT'S army continues in Albacete under the orders of DROUnT : it is composed of 15,000 men, and has 1000 horse in La Genets. The enemy, seeing that the Castle of Chin chilla ipresented obstacles to their excursions, steaightened its siege. In order to take it by 'as sa lit, without loss on their part, they collected all the peasantry in the neighbourhood, and made tfiree, attacks, but in vain, because they had nei ther made a breach in the castle, nor filled up the fosse; the peasants nevertheless stiffered consi derably., _ . " On - die Sth, in the evening,. a; shell -fell in-the Castle, which wounded' its gallant Governor and 50 men, out of its valiant , and small garrison of 200 : this accident,' and having loit 15 or 20 men by the enemy's fire; the anterior dayS,Ohliged it to capitulate - on the' Bch. When the official ac count is received, we slid!l give the details to the public, which, according to the statement of au artilleryman, do great- honour to that unfortunate garrison. MADRID, OCT. 16.—A letter which we have seen from the lacad-quatters of the 2cl and 3d, Armies,,dated the 11th inst. says, that SOVLT on the sth inst. marched for Calaspana. The last division, which consisted of from 4 to 5000 men, with a considerable nurabtr of horse, were on the 3d before Caravaca. On the 7th, an .enemy's battalion of infantry and 300 horse presented themselves within cannon shot of Penas de San Pedro, and received some fire, to which tbey did Hirt reply; but continued their march towards Tabarra. In this point there are 6 or 7000 men, which are supposed to be part SOULT'S and partSucHET's troops, who proceeded from Albacete to protect the passage of the former. It is thought that there is a corps of from nine to ten thousand men, with a considerable, quan tity of artillery, in Albacete. The enemy wish to maintain themselves in that point, to facilitate the, collecting of provisions. For the same purpose, another 'enemy's corps of 4000 infantry and 300 horse scour the bourbeod of Jorquera. We'knots , that the pnblic would be pleased by our giving intelligence of the movements and pro gress of our armies ; to, their just demands : we must reply, the publieation of certain military facts would not forward the military operations, and the enemylnight derive great service from it. We have read several Valencian Gazettes, and observe that the French say nothing of the posi tions or movements of their armies. Will ienot be time enough for us to inform them of what they do not know when they instruct us ?.---Tor 'Otis reason we will content ourselVes, with saying that the, fears of some pusillanimous persons are Unfounded and , vain. The hopes of ' the se cret agents •of the intrusive King, who dis- : ciAlitirite alarms are deserving the most severe punishment. We have force sufficient. We have chiefs Avorthy of confidence. - We are se cure. This is what we can announce.—(lllodrid Gazette, Oct. 17.) . MADRID, OCT. 17.—The intrusive King, who expected to remain in Catalonia and fix his resi dence iu the capital of Arragon, has changed his opiniOn, and is preparing to proceed to Pam-, plona. In this city he can receive communications with more facility, and take measures with the Senate. MASSENi has ordered 50 pieces of the artillery brought from Castile to b© collected in San Domingo de Victoria, -and Orduna L t.°. be fortified. • SOULT, obliged to change his direc ' tion, has desisted' from going JO Valencia, and proceeding by Albacete to Rota, and Villaneuva de Jara, indicates by his movements of crossing the prOvince of Cuenca with the idea of march- . ing 'to Navarre by Arragon. :To this change is attributed that . of. Josurn's, and, it is said, that both are little satisfied with Sum -iv'', and are go ing to try their fortune with MASSENA. It appears that General HILL has his head-quar ters 'in Belmonte, from whence lie dispatched ad vice tq Lord WELLINGTON and General BALLAS TEROg. We do not doubt but that Souvr in tends paying us a visit,,and of even making a bold movement to prevent the junction of our troops with General HlLL.—(Corunna Diary, Oct. `'7.) JUNIUS.—We yesterday drew the attention of our Readers to the new Edition of the celebrat ed • LETTERS, which have so long excited ad miration under the signature of JUNIUS, and we raturn to the subject because we consider the work itself, with s all its copious and interesting additions, as one of the most extraordinary pro ductions of Yiritish Literature. Whether these ad ditions, extensive and particular as they are,will lead to a discovery of the Author, is still a very doubtful point, because the hand of Death has removed most of the persons whose sagacity, knowledge, and op portunities,might have enabled them to penetrate in - to the mystery, and they who survive have probably, forgotten the events and circumstances that might afford them a probable clue. The preliminary essay to this new and valuable collection is very well written ; it takes comprehensive and minute view of the subject, and examines with judg ment and candour the respective pretensions of those to whom suspicion, partiality or general opinion, have assigned the honour of composi tions, characterised by such rare intellectual pow ers, knowledge, and 'such ready and extraordinary sources of political information. The Extracts which we this day insert relate to the private cor respondence of the Author, of whose hand-writing I fac-similes are given, in the Work. 4 L,ECONP 2- ON. SUN-OFFICE, 'THREE O'CLOCK slop the Press to state, that Government have just -received Dispatches from _Col . BOURKE), dated Corunna, the Bth inst. They do not con tain any intelligence. direct- from ,the Marquis of WELLIN6TON ; but Col. BOURKE had received Letters from the head-quarters_ of the Army, which were dated' the , 24th ult. On that day the head-quarters of the Army were at Duenas,,which our. Readers will recollect, when the last accounts were received by the Fortunee, were the head quarters of the enemy. - . • These 'Letters did not contain. any particulars respecting the operatiOns of the army. It was supposed, that stlbscquent'to the date of those letters, the French light troops lied intercepted the communication between Head-quarters and Corunna. Lord WELLINGTON had sent orders to Corunna, for the troops which had - arrived there, to go round to Lisbon. NAVAL NEWS.

"MAX PLEASE YOUR HONOUR, " We, the Magistrates, Officers of Militia, • and others, inhabitants of the town of Kingston, Leg leave to congratulate you on your. arrival, and to otfer you that tribute of appluse'and ad miration which the conquest of Detroit must everywhere excite. That army which was to look down all opposition; ,that General whose procla mation denounced extermination to his opposers - , Were unable to withstand your judicious and in trepid operations, and submitted to the - terms which you were pleased to dictate. The confi dence which your conduct and' talents, thus emi nently displayed; have ditfuSed through his jesty's subjects in this pi:ovince, will, we trust, be shewn by a general emulation of the spirited conduct of those of our fellow-subjects who had the honour of sharing in your toils, and partici pating in' your success ; a success so extraordi , nary, and so rapidly achieved, that posterity will rerhaps regard it as a fiction of the historian, that you prorogued your Parliament at York on the 6th of August, and that, atter encountering every obstacle from roads and weather, you were, on the - 16th master of the fortress of Detroit, de : fended by 33 - pieces 'of cannon, and an army of 2:500 men, which laid down. their arms before your' gallant band,of less:than half that number. ".Kingston, Sept. '4,' 1812." • To which his Honour was pleased to make the following reply frothing but the confidence which the admi rable conduct of the. York and Lincoln Regiments' of Militia excited, could have induced me to un dertake an expedition such as lately terminated so much to the advantage of the country. . . I have reason, from the reports made to me by the Officers stationed at Kingston, to rely with equal. confidence on' the discipline and gallantry of the Militia of this district. It is with the highest satisfaction, I understand, that in the Midst' of unavoidable privations and fatigues,' they bear in mind that the cause in which they are engaged involves their dearest interests,,and the happiness of their families.

MONTPELIER (VERMONT), SEPT. 17.—From all parts of the country we receive accounts of the movements of the troops and militia. Platts burgh, N.Y. about sixty miles, from Montreal, is their place of destination ; where Generals Dear born and Bloomfield have already arrived with 2000 men each. The 6th regiment, nude: Col. Simon ; the 15th Cul. Pike; and Schuyler, alt New England troops, are on the is march to join the army at Plattsburgh,- under General Dearborn ; the 6tk and 15th regiments, from New York, were to march the 3(1 instant.--- The Vermont troops are now at Plattsburgh it is §tated that General Bloomfield, of Nelf York, is to command the.ran of the army on the .expedition. . About 80 of the United States troops 'from New ' Hampshire, an(i between :tnd 500 of the drafted militia of this State, passed through town the pre sent week, on their way to Plattsburgh.

" A brigade of the King's boats, and a num ber of merchant'boats, were attacked at Matilda, about three miles below the Galot's-rapids, on the, 16th inst., (Sept:). A detachment .'of the enemy-. crossed the St. Lawrence, a-little before the dawn 1 of day,' and secreted themselves in a small island, about 100 yards. from our shore.. They. were • accompanied by a large boat, carrying a field piece on the bOw., A pnor Canadian, called Toussaint, and his family, are the . only inhabi tants on this island, :fir the forenoon, a party ,of the enemy, made him prisoner: " At this eventfulln o ment the King's boats made their appearance. The soldiers were mostly at the oars, and their arms were in cases at the bottom of,the boats ! ! While the guard in the -house were eig,erly peeping through a small broken window to observe the advance of the boats, -Toussaint slipped out un observed, actually. gained the beach, and got into , his canoe before he was discovered. • lie Was pur sued and fired upon, but happily without effect.— By his gestures and exclamation's he gave notice to the boats crew of their imminentalanger,' and they quickly fled •to shore.—The enemy's gun boat dropped down below the island, and began to fire upon the troops, who were thrown into the ' greatest confusion; and had - one man killed. ' At this :time two very large boats, filled with armed' men, were observed to approach from the Arneri can shore to ,the channel,-at the upper part of the, island, in Order, to take the troops m flank. This movement,the effect of a well-organized plan ,would have secured an easy conquest to the enemy, but for the brave conduct of Captain Ault, of Ma-:, tilda, who, with a body of Militia under his corn mand, was fortunately. near. ' With the greatest intrepidity he and his brave companions attacked these boats, as they entered the channel between the island and main land, compelled one - of theta to seek shelter behind the island, and after killing and woundrng a great number in the other boat, forced the survivors to abandon it and fly to the woods. The enemy lined the inner shore with, riflemen, and fired for some time ;' but Capta in Munro, with a company of militia from the, next township, soon arrived, and assisted in routing They fled to their own coast in great dis ' order and Tonssaint's wife says she counted More than twenty of than who were carried away either dead - or wounded. Such was the 'zeal and loyalty manifested by his Majesty's subjects near the scene of action, that it is ,supposed upwards .Of 700 assembled in less than two hours, and a piece of artillery was brought by land from. Prescott, a distance of 14 Miles."
