SUCHET aura JosErn, at Jumella. Sir. 11. HILL was at Oropesa.—The following are extracts from the Papers : LISBON, OCT. 4.—General Him. is at Oropesa. He has detached from his army three Portuguese regiments (4000 men) to garrison . gdvas. OcT. I.—lt is calculated that the French, from the time they abandoned the siege of Cadiz till they reached Seville, experienced a loss of 5000 men, and that SOULT'S actual force is 28,000 men, 'which is not conformable to our opinion. On the 21 - st of September, Gen. HILL'S troops arrived at Talavera la Reyna. The Empecinado was with -his division in Rcquiva. CADIZ; 'SEPT. 26.-- , -Theyirrite from Reus, under date of the 16th ing. that JOSEPH was in To:tosa. Intelligence has ,just been received, that VI4A CA.NiPA has taken a convoy worth 30,000,000 of reals. The Regency Gazette of the ,23d and 2-ith con fain'three dispatches from Ilienerat 11ALLESTEROS. In No. 1 he states that'firliradier BALUSAL at tacked two of the enemy's ookps near Huno, and caused them a los's of upWards of ono hundred men. ► No. 2. states, from his head-quarters at Paul, that the Castile Regii.w.ntpf Hussars, commanded by Don ell. SSA MAYOR, bad routed the enemy's troops situated in Alendin and Gabia. In 'No. 3. General BALLESTEROS writes from his head-quarters, in Granada, - that he had entered that city on the 17th, withcitit- -the enemy daring to fight, although on the 16th the:- made demon strations as if they intended so -to ; and that sot:Lr's rear-guard having bean attacked on the road from Guadix, by 'Brigadier BAstlAt,, Ile re solved to evacuate Granada, taking the direction of Guadix. FROM 711 Z GIBRALTAR aItRONICLE, 'Ol THE 26Til SEPTECIER. . . . Sox.wr marched out of Granada on the 17thr inkant, at 9 o'clock in the morning, and _took the road to Guadix. He is represonecl, in the Malaga letters of the 22d, as having lost a great number of men in his retreat. General BALLASTEROS, shortly after the departure of the French, stop ped only a few hours, and set out again in pursuit of the retreating army. Carthagena ac counts of the' 20th assert SOULT to have effected a jpnetion With SUCIIET and JOSEPH, at .Turnella, previous to that. date, but this must be understood of the advanced guards only ; that of SOULT is stated in these same accounts to have been at Caravaca and the environs, for some time past. General HILL was on the 7th,on the Guadiana. On the other band, it appears that there are some of our troops in Andajur, probably belonging to General Comta's division ; and this circumstance it was that gave rise to the report of General HILL'S having crossed the Serena. • A Malta Mail arrived this morning; The fol lowing are the principal articles,it contains : MESSINA, AUG. 26.—We learn frotn PaICITIIO, that the Parliament continues its' labours indefa tigably, and makes great progress in the details of the new Constitution.

The Parliament holds its sessions three times a week, and Almost always continues sitting till a late hour in the evening.

Two English fri gates have also airived there from Zante, with troops and horses belonging to the British army. Corunna Papers reached town this day to the 10th instant. The intelligence they contain from Burgos is not later than the Ist, at which period 'it is stated that two breaches were made in the Castle. We . subjoin .the only articles worth ex tracting.

The Corunian Diary of the 9th contains a dis patch from Esroz Y MINA, dated Puente la Reyna, in which he_ states having defeated Gen. ABBE, who on the 21st August had marched from Pampelona with 2500 men, for the: purpose of collecting provisions, with the loss of upwards of 1000 men, in killed, wounded, and prisoners.

Lord ' Kilworth intended to offer himself as a third Candidate for the repre sentation of our County, tut we bare reason to think it totally, unfounded. GOTTENBURGH MAIL. SECOND EDITION. SUN-OFFICE, HALT? r.itT TWO O'CLOCK. We have been favoured with th 6 following . ' let ter, which we give our Readers with. much plea sure, and. in which we arc disposed to place con fidence : - "A cutter is arrived at GuernSey which:left Ri vadeo ,on the 9th instant, and brings the intelli ,ence that accounts had arrived there on the Bth, of an' engagement having taken :place at about 7. leagues from Burgos, between the French and; Combined Forces, and dial-, the latter were vic2: torious. The loss of the Fiend) :was estimated. at 10,000 killed 'and prisoners.. • The loss on the Partof the English was not ascertained. "No doubt is entertained with respect fo an ac tion having been fought, but we do not imagine' that the calculation with regard to the number of killed and prisoners is accurate. . MiNA haS. also takenor destroyed apart of the garrison belonging' to Pamplona, viz; 400 a, then at Lodosa, without any material loss. "This account was brought in a cutter to. Guerw= sey, on the 13th instant ; she left RiVadeo ow the 9th . inst. We have letters also from the most re- ' spettable. merchants at Guernsey, :assuring us that we may . place coniidence inthe information."

ACcording to 1- 4:e first Article of the Pre= liminaries, it is agreed that the river .Pruth, from its entrance into Moldavia until its junction with the Danube, and the left bank of the Danubefrom such junction to the mouth of the Kili, .and front thence to the sea, 'shall form the boundaries of the two empires ; the mouth of the said river being for the common use of both. The small islands which, previous to the war, were uninhabited, lying near to the left bank of the Danube, shall remain uninhabited, nor shall any fortifications be erected on the On the other hand the Ottoman Porte relin quishes to Russia all provinces fortresses, towns, fcc, lying on the left bank of the Pruth, and the mid-channel of the said river shall be the boundary betiVetan the two empires. The merchant vessels of both nations may navigate th* whole course of the Danube ; but the Russian ships of war must come no further than the entrance of the Pruth. Art. 5. His. _lmperial .Russian Majesty on the other hand, restores, to the Ottoman Porte the territory of Moldavia, on the right bank of 'the Pruth, as likewise the Greater and Lcsser lachia, The inhabitants of these provinces shall be; freed from all contributions for the space of two years, and those shall be fixed according to the present largeness of Moldavia.

But that such garri sons shall not infringe any of the rights belosog ing to the Servian people, the Sublime Pone Porte will for such purpose adopt, in concert with the Servian nation, such measures as may be ne cessary for their sectuity. The Porte grants to the Servian nation the same advantages as are en- joyed by her subjects of the islands in the Archi- pelago, and of the other districts, and causes it to partake of the effects of her magnanimity, by permitting it to have the sole management of its internal concerns, by fixing the mass of contribu butioiis which it will receive from its own hands; and, finally, will regulate all these matters conjointly, and in concurrence with the - Servian nation.

THE THaATI u The Virgin of the Sun, a new Farce was - brought forward at .Covent garden Theatre last n;ght, under the title of Schniederkins. The fable consists of the attempts of two sharpers to avail: themselves of the ab sence. of a naval Captain, in order to compel his wife, whom they suspect to be his mistress, to marry a person who does not appear on the ttage, and who is, to reward them well for their villany. The Captain, however, returns just in time to rescue his wife, and‘to punish them for their attempt. But the chief purpose of the to • h" Piece, is obvio usly farms scope for the versa tile powers of 3.,TATnEws, whO shifts into various characters, of .various countries, and ;supports them tilLwith Ilia usual-spirit.

It is astonishing to observe how near to profa nation despotic power devotes religiou and religi ous institutions Buonaparte, who has been by turns an infidel, Mussulman, and Catholic, ap pears perhaps not so detestable in any of his assumptions as in the last, when he orders the name of the Almighty to be insulted with Te- Deums for his horrible butcheries at Moscow..
