The two liamturgh Mails still remain due. The Want of authentic intelligence at a moment so criti ctl as the present is particularly distressing. Many Letters have of late been received from the Conti nent, but the complete stoppage of the Posts in the interior has rendered it almost impossible to ob tain any information respeding the movements of toe . Armies. It is again strohgly reported, that the Dutch have takeh possession of Embden, and we think it highly probable. Almost all the Letters which have been received concur in stating that the Russian Army had formed a junEticn with the Prussians. There can be very little doubt that the Russians have by this time arrived on the.banks of the Oder, and if their force is any thing sear that which has been stated, much may yet be done. BONAPARTE will •be compelled to call in all his detachments, and to concentrate his army, and that will afford an opportunity to the Prussians, who are now pursued in various dire6tions, to form a junaion, and once more to make a stand against the Enemy. A report Was yesterday circulated, that the Spa nish Floet had sailed from Cadiz, and that Lord COLLINGWOOD was in pursuit of them. No such intelligence has reached the Admiralty ) but we have no dolibt that the Spanish Government will make 2D effort to scud out powerful reinforcements to South America, though we very much doubt whether any force they can now send • out would be able to deprive us •of our acquisitions in that quar ter, or prevent us from extending our conquests.— it is, we believe, well known that a very considerable reinforcement was sent from the Cape of Good 1-lope to Buenos Ayres. Another sailed, some time ago, from Fahnouth, under the convoy of the Ardent; and the Expedition under General Cam.ll , lND would undoubtedly reach South Ame rica quite as soon as any force which the Spa niards could now send out, so that there does nut appear to be the slightest ground for any apprehen sion. Yesterday morning the DUKE of YORK transaaed business wan His MAJESTY. Afterwards rode with Hi:; MAJESTY, DUKE Of CA7`..ILIILUGE, PRINCESSES SOI'LI/A, and AMELIA, Lady BULKELEY, GelktraisGWYNNE and Tu in the Great Park, and back, at half past twelVe.— The DUKE urriwtic lett Windsor in tile evening. Hcr MAJESTY, PRINCESS ELIZABETH, and Lady CROLINE WALDEGRAVE, took an airily in her Ma jesiy'6 barouche and four to Englefieie Green and b;lck. His Royal Highness the PRINCE of WALES, and tis Royal Highness the DUKE of CLARENCEi are expeaed in town on Thursday next. • Their Royal Highnesses the. DUKES of CUMBER LAID and CA:sIBRIDGE returned to town yesterday from Windsor, and last night visited Covent Gar den Theatre to see the new Play. Government yesterday received dispatches from the Cape of Good Hope. The bearer of them landed a Cork, as we have been informed by the following communication from the cork Advertiser Office, dated on Tuesday last : " We have been just now informed of the arrival in this City of Colonel Dol‘DoNNE.t., from 'the Cape of Good Hope. He left it on the 12th of Septem ber, ,is the bearer of dispatches for Government, 'and mentions, that on the Ist of Sept. troops to the amount of 200 Q horse and foot sailed for Buenos Ayres to reinforce General BERESFORD, and 'that no apprehensions were entertained at the Cape for the sa:ky of that conquest." We stated some time since, that 2000 men had been sent from the Cape to Buenos Ayres. The Regiments in the Mediterranean are nearly, as follow :-20th Dragoons, four troops; gth, 10th, 20th, : , ..)Ist, 23ti, 24th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, 35th, 41st, 42d, 44th, 48th, 57th, sk3th,. 540, and 78th foot, all nearly complete, and in thethighest possible order. ;"; There was no Court of Aldermen held to-day, but the Tim)) MAYOR, after inspecting the returns of the Meal-weighers, ordered the Price of Bread to be reduced •id. per peck, to take place oh Thurti- NA ✓AL N EWS.

Come, ye who wish for no such things As Rulers, Ministers, or Kings, And vote where yonder rabble rings— For PACIL,L; Who,. 'till he rais'd his low estate, Call'd WELLESLEY all that's good and great, Then mark'd him for relentless hate ? 'Twas PA Lt.. Who joins the Tacobin ButtoETT, To catch us in a Gallic net, And spunge away the Public Debt ? rris PAULL. Who, when his Votes were in the rear, lleclat'd that he had little fear, As thousands might be bought by beer ?-- 'Twas PAULLd Who, while for honest truth he cries, Cajoles the crowd with daily lies, And only by such arts could rise ?- - 'Tis PAULL. Who, to get in by hook or crook, Set on by SATAN, or by TOOKE, Swore SuzitlDAN abus'd the Duke ? 'Twas PAULL, Whose rabble, raising dreadful strife, Employ'd the bludgeon and the knife, And ai►n'd at his Opponent's lite ? 'Twas FA I;LL's. Then haste to Covent-garden Goal, From Dyi,t-strett and 11,:k4 Ne'er mind a Vote but freely poll For PAuz.t. But, ns to-morrow ends the show, Lay nit that dire ()nose him low, And tncn, huzza ! to Brentford go With PAULL. Mr. PAULL stated yesterday on the hustings that he could not gain his iormer seat for Newton, as Government had purchased that Borough. The truth, however, is, that Sir ROBERT BARCLAY, Mr. PAuLL's - late colleague in the representation of that place, is returned again as one of its Members, and the other is Mr. CANNING, who ranks with Oppo sition. The Church has at leligth fallen under the dis pleasure of Mr, PAULL, who has in turn attacked every class of the community except those who were in his immediate interests. We are extremely sorry to find that Mr. CORRY, the late Chancellor of the Exchequer fur Ireland, is opposed at his native town of Newry. The ability and indefatigable attention with ,which he dLs charged the duties of that high office, and the earnest desire whiCh he, ❑pon all occasions, displayed to promote the commercial interests of Ireland, entitle him to the esteem and gratitude of his countrymen, and will, we have no doubt, ultimately ensure his success. E. , :tra6l of a Letter from the Cape of Good Hope, dated the 3d Sept. 1206 :—" The fralthwnstow and Lord Nelson East Indiamen are arrived here from St. Helena, and intend sailing on the 6th inst. for the East Indies." • The Lancaster Man of War, and some Transports with troops, have sailed for the River Plata. THE THEATRES.--The new dramatic Piece, enti tled Adrian and Orrilla, was represented again last night at Coreut-garden:Theatre. It has been very judiciously compressed, in consequence .of • which the representation was shortened a , full ' hour, but the interest of'the Piece Was by no means . diminish ed. The Performers'manifested unabated assiduity and zeal,. and the Play was throughout very well received. DRuay-LANE. 7 --Last night The Travellers was performed, for the first time. this season, and at trataed a brilliant and crowded, audience.—Mr. AnAm was rapturously encored in the beautiful songs of " - Deep in the fountain of this tatting heart ;" and « He was fanedibr deeds of arms."— Mr.WEwiTzER„ in the absence of Mr. BANNISTER, assumed the part of Buntline, and was much al) . - plauded. Mr. RAYMOND appeared, for the first time, as the Duke' of Posilepa, and imparted to it all'the interest the part is capable of. ' Mr. Joniv STONE never was more successful as O'Gallagher - ; all his songs were encored. Mr. DE CAMP plily ed Zgphimiia, which was last season filled by Mr. ELLISTON, and received considerable applause.— Signora STORACE and Mrs. MOUNTAIN had their share of hprobation, and the whole performanCe received the most unbounded applause ; and we.have not the least dciubt but The Travellers will prove. *ally aft/at - five as last season.

The crowd in front of the Hustings yresterday► was at least four times what it has been during any other day of the Eleftion, and the colours of Sir F. Bur dett, for the first time, appeared to bear some pro portion to those of his antagonisis. At the close of the Poll at three o'clock the num bers were— For Mr. ME E 1.1911 - - 2,z07 Mr. - - - 1714 Sir F. BVIIDETT - 400 Mr. BYNG made his bow to the Eleaors and re tired. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said, that he gladly em braced the present opportunity of declaring, that the Meeting of certain EleCtors of Middlesex held on Saturday evening, the result of whose proceedings he had seen in one of the Papers to-day, was held not only without his consent, but contrary to his wish. He unquestionably was bound in gratitude to feel obliged to the zeal of those Gentlemen who had called and supported that Meeting—but still he regretted they had done so, not. believing that what they had done was calculated to produce benefit either to the Country in general or the County of Midi dlesex in particular. He had, from the beginning, been anxious that the independence of the County of Mid dlesex should support itself. He was therefore pager to see what proportion of independent men were to be found in it, famed in former times forrtS spirit, and for the zeal with which it repressed erery attempt at its subjugation. It was on that independence- he wished to stand, and to it alone be hoped and requested that he might owe the suffrages of those who polled for him. He had endeavoured in vain, from day to day, to bring the Gentleman who stood next him, to state what he intended to do in behalf of those Elettors who had already done so much for him. The answer was, " Look at the Poll." This was a trick, he was sorry to say it, too often imposed upon us, not at elections alone, but in affairs of the deepest importance. What was the language of Ministers when we complained of any of the numberless grievances with which we were op pressed ?—" Look at the Poll !"—W hat defence had our Placemen and Pensioners, when questioned on the propriety of granting to them sums of money ex tratled from the very bowels of the poor ?—" Look at the Poll !"—What had the whole talk to us, during the American War, consisted of, when contrary to the inclinations of the great bulk of the community, we were forced to submit to deprivations then un known ? Simply this : " Look to the Poll !"=;--. What had the late Minister (Mr. Pitt), while he was - prosecuting that system which had brought this Country to the very brink of ruin, and while he was engaging us in endless hostility—said as an excuse and vindication of his condua ?—" Look at. the Poll !" And might it not be a subjeet not alto gether undeserving of attention, and somewhat cha ff of the principles of the Gentleman near him, to find, oh examination of the names which constituted, on many occasions that very poll, that he formed one of the number ?---What could be adduced in defence. of that abominable waste Of public money by which thousands of pounds aa• nually were conferred on the Right won. the Trea• surer of the Navy and his family—drawn, as it was well known to be, out of the almost exhausted pockets of the people of this Country ?—" LoOk at the Poll." Finally, what was the cry of that same Treasurer of the Navy, profeising, as he did, to be standing on the independent interest which had brought in the great Mr. Fox, under whose name he and his colleagues were daily endeavouring to shelter themselves in the most unjustifiable manner, knows ing, as they well did, that be (Mr. Sheridan) was coming in upon the second votes of the Mini sterial Candidate, in dired opposition to that in terest in which Mr. Fox had formerly stood, name ly, the voice of the people ? Unfortunately even lit could now insultingly cry out, " Look at the poll l" The result of this day, however, gave hint reason still to hope the county of Middlesex had not whol ly surrendered its independence. He hoped to see a.change in the state of some polls, and that Mi.t nisters would one day or other be induced to change, for fear of their own polls. He thanked the Meet 4 ing for the honour they had done him, and hoped he should always be found steady to his principles, and the true friend to the interests of the people--s, (loud applauses). lgr. l.NlELctsn begged to be heard in support of his own charader. On being informed, however, that the word " trick" used by Sir FRANCIS BUR-. DETT, was not levelled at hint personally, but only. used in a general sense, he forebore from entering on the subjeCt. He thanked the Elea - ors for the continued and increased marks of their favour which he had experienced, and which he trusted they not suffer to relax. As to the idea of re ferring to the state of the poll—if it should so hap pen (which he was convinced was impossible) that the • worthy Baronet should be placed at the head of it; he entertained no doubt that he too would juin in the cry of which The at present so much disap prove 4—" Look at the poll." The Meeting then adjourned. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. 'Yesterday, soon after Mr. Sheridan's appearance upon the hustings, several pretty girls appeared at the front of the hustings, decorated in the colours of Sheridan and Hood, and requested that Mr. She ridan should drink their health in some wine negus, which was borne before them by a waiter from the tavern of Mrs. Butler, who has been throughout the Eledion a most ardent friend to Mr. Sheridan. With this request of the ladies Mr. Sheridan was ..per suaded to comply, as did Mr. Whitbread, Mr. B. Craven, and several other Gentlemen, the friends of Mr. Sheridan. This ceremony, with properly accompanying interchange ofcourtesies, being over, Mr. SHERIDAN paid his respects to the mob, with many of whom he maintained a whimsical c,nver sation. Recognizing his broad-faced friend among the crowd, Mr. Sheridan assured him, that if evea he should offer himself as Candidate for Westmin ster, he should have his vote in preference to Mr. Paull. The Right Hon. Gentleman stated, that a petition against Mr. Berridge, his broad-faced friend, had been presented to him, accompanied with a request that he should lay it before the Magistrates, in order thatßerridge should .be dcprived of hi.;,li cence tbr miscondud and rioting. • But although
