The head-quarters of the assay of (:eneral Vette-
gas are still here. This army has been consider-
ably re-inforced ; the infantry alone amounts to
26,860 men. The cavalry is stationed in La Mau-
clam and pushes its advanced parties as liar as Ms-
dridejos and the vicinity of Tembleque. The di-
visions of this army occupy at present the following
positions--the first is in Valdepeamii the second in
N'tllanuova de los infanter; and one regiment has
been detached to Villamaurigue and Vents Nuova;
the third division is in Cortadurm and the environs
of that place; and the fourth in Viso.

PARIS, OCT. S.
The Nuniteur, of the Flth of October, contains
some remarks, in the shape of Notes, on the Miser-
s:ilium of a London Paper. (ofSept. 13,) relative
to the conduct of Lord Wellington in Spain. •
lims mos Parts.--," We have said, that, in a military
penal ureic., the movements of Lord Wellington were regu-
lated by his eau rhoree."
Nora 07 THE MORITEUR.—Lord Wellington
NA* been very fortunate to,ieach the banks of the
Tagus, to be able to cover himself byline river,
and thus escape total destruction ; but that his re-
treat was regulated by his owe choice, is a thing
which elm only be said in England, and will be be-
limed no where. Why, then, did nut Lord Wellington
retire by Plawilcia, where hismage2ines were? Why,
arleast. did he not pH,* the Tagus, over the bridge
of Almaraz? Why did he puss that river by the
bridge of Arzobispo, whence he made his retreat
over difficult mountains, and by scarcely practi-
cable roads ? Certainly, such a retreat as this could
not he a voluntary retreat; and Lord Welling-
ton, unless we suppose him actually insane, could
not have taken that direction of his own choice.
LoiDO% Plern —" Lord Wellingtim preserved, daring
tee' days, a position, in which the Freuelt troops,- had they
thought themselves strong enough, have attacked our
array, sod left it nu tidier means of I seaping, but viztury."
NOII.-414 isa very singular assertion, when,
according to the noble custom of the English.
Lord Wellington had aleitidoned the army of
Cucuta, who had been beaten on the Tagus, and lust
33 pieces of elinnOn. and 101 his antmunition. The
writer asks why the French did not pursue the
English array! Th• did pursue it, fire they cause
up with the rear-guard. This rear-guard, it is true,
was composed only of the troops of Cuesta ; but
they were there as allied troops, and made a part
of the pursued army. The Freud', too, destir.yeZ•
that part of this army which they overtook. Two
things certainly result from this; first, that the rear-
swirl of Loot Wellington was destroyed ; and.
secondly, that Lord Wellington, having to give
the post of honour either to the English troops,
or theme Spoaiards,' of whom he speaks so ill, de-
terinined iu favour of the Spanish troops.
The post of honour. in an army, is that which
is nearest the enemy. When Francis 1. tent to re,
deinawil the *word of Constable from the Constable
of Bow-ben, the latter replied--" The King took
it from toe on the day when he gave the comnind
of the advanced guard to the. Duke of Alengou."
Lord Wellington had not the same sentiments with
the brave Chevaliers of those times. He does not
pique himself ou keeping for himself the post of ho-
roue ; he gives it up to his allies. The French,
after having beaten his rear-goal-a, might have en-
tered Portugal; but they did not wish it ; because
it was then the mouth of August; because the
climate is fatal at that season ; because only mad-
!lmo, such as those who direct the Euglish Goveru-
ment, would, in the months of Asign4 anti Sep-
tember, expose an army to perish in the marshes
of Walcheren. or in the sands of Estremadura.
L PA /10e1t..." It is certain that he was deceived

science. The charge of want of foresight Basch against
Lord Welliagien falls of itself."
MOTE.—The pretest of wanting provisions is
always the excuse of I ;entrails. who are beaten, or
who are rendered unable to attempt any thing.—
Would not one suppose that Lord Wellington com-
manded an army of three hundred thousand in-
&Orr. and forty thousand cavalry ? When a Ge-
neral has an army so considerable, the procuring of
provisions may give him some trouble, but cannot
absolutely stop his progress. Can it be believed
that an army of twenty-six thousand men could
not kird subsistence in a conntry where towns
are so numerous? Such an army is only a
strong division, which a single town of Spain
could maintain for two months. Besides, if
Lord Wellington wet uneasy with respect to the
subsisteuce of his army, why did he isharrrloti
his magazioes ? His line of operation, and his
nompixiiies, were upon and at PhillenCill• Why
did he suffer Plaseneia to he taken ? Why ? Be-
cause this General of Senna had the imprudence to
advance to ;lie very middle of Spam, without know-
ing either what force was before him, or what upon
his flanks. We see, by his dispatches, that he
wunetinies believed that the Duke of Dalmatia had
but eight thousand men, and sometimes that he
had 16,000. Under these false suppositions, lie
hod proposed to divide his forces, to go and
attack the Deice of Dalmatia ; when, all on

steed of being attacked, and had not particular
and local circumstances permitted him to pass the
Tagus., and escape, bysacrificiog the corps which he
left behind him, not a soldier of his army would
have again seen Eugland. If ever there was a
General wanting foresight, it is certainly Lord Wel-
lington. If he should long command the English
armies, we may flatter ourselves with obtaining
great advantages from the brilliant combinations of
a General so mexperiencol.in the trade of war.

LONDON.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19.

The report of the conclusion of peace between •
France and Austria, which we mentioned yesterday,
was perfectly correct. It is confirmed by the err--
vat of the illonittars to the 11th, and Dutch papers
to the 14th inst. The Treaty of Peace was signed,
according to one account, on the 19th last, and, ac-
cording to another, on the 3d inst. Alteisburgh,
Schoenbrtinit, and Vietnia,are each mentioned as the
scene; hat the most probable case is, that the in-
strument was executed on the 9d at Vienna.—
That the event has taken place, is, however,
certain. It was officially announced to the in-
habitants of Amsterdam on the 10th, by the firing
of cannon, ringing of bells, and other demonstrations
of joy. Besides the statements in the Dutch Ga-
zettes, Government have received a confirmation of
the event, in dispatches front the Commander of our
troops at Walcheren. Several corroborative accounts
had resell N.l that island; and, on the 14th, the bade-
rie and gun-bouts at Zurich Zee tired's/en-de-joie
on the occasion. The terms of the treaty have
not transpired ; but m the peace is denominated
0, glorious" for France, we may presume that they
are humiliating to Austria. It is rumoured that
the Emperor FRANCIS gives rip Carinthia, Car-
niole, Stiria, Istria, and Upper and. Lower Austria,
together with Presburgh-wthat he abandons also
Gallic's, and consent, to relinquish his title of Em-
peror of AUSTRIA. If this he true, the terms are
humiliating indeed, and the star of Austria is see
for ever ! Nothing certain, however, is yet known
on this interesting subject. The Dutch Papers
merely mention, that the principal obstacle in the
progress of the negociation arose front the reluct-
ance t f the Emperor FR•NCIS to give up Spalatro
to the French; to which, however, he at length not
only consented, but greatly enhanced the merit of
his compliance, by the cession of the whole of
Dalmatia. The Paris Papers state, that relnys of
horses for the Emperor were ready at Munich on
the tat inst. and it was expected that he would
leave Scbocubruou on the 1d or 4th, on his return
to Paris.

11,. NIAJEATT came to town, yesterday, and held
a Levee. The report of the arrival of Mr. It.
PIAIDAS SAL' N Units does nut appear to have been
founded in fart, as he was not present. No pro-
gress whatever was made in the repairs of the Cain-
net, and the only business of importance that
took place was un order fur the farther prorogation
of Parliament, from the td of November to the
Iwgisming of December.—.lt is thus obviously the
intention of the Premier, to defer the meeting of
Parliament until after Christmas. Some per-
sona think, that he means, in the interval, to
endeavour to bring about a negociation for
peace with France. We have noticed, in a for-
mer paper, that a report to that effect was in
circulation, and we find that it gains ground.
—lt has, probably, however, no ether origin, than
the ackuowledged difficulty of his situation ; as his
most zeelons friends admit, thamothing, but some
extraordinary event, can enable him to stand his
ground. Ilia total inability to meet Parliament
may, however, sufficiently account for its proroga-
tion to so late a period, at such a momentons crisis.
A wish to postpone the evil day, as long as possible,
is natural in all situations.

Last night. the comedy of Oats was per.

Every thingens usual, wore a peaceable avert, un-

usurped to thenseelyes the exclusive right of dis-
turbauce. The part of Rover, by Mr. Jones, was

prudent, but delicate mid seutimental—he ex.
Inherit that gay, delightful, fascinating com-
pound of contradictions, which the Poet drew •
in Rorer. While Mr. Lewis was on the stage,
this character was considered peculiarly his own ;
end his own it certainly was ; but, now that
his " dramatic life" has terminated, we du not he-
sitate to pronounce Mr. Jones, froin the specimen
alma night, the Rorer of the present dey., Mr.
Emery, in Juhx Dory, displayed grett powers, but
by nu means his greatest ; we should prefer seeing
him, at any time, corniogfrosi die country, to com-
ing front sea ; in both canes, he is certaiuly the
great actor; but in one ease he is the great actor,
oat of his line. Ephraim Smooth, by Mr. Situ-
11101lb, was very stiff and rely prim, eves for a
Quaker. Mr. Liston performed the part ot
with his usual success. The character of Lady
Amaranth is too sedate for Miss Norton ; she,
nevertheless, acquitted herself with great propriety.
The Amelia, of Mrs. Emery, and the Jens, of Mrs.
Gibbs, were also supported with talent. In short,
the performance was, altogether, so judicious, as to
produce the utmost satisfaction, as far as it was
heard, and the utmost indignation against these
who caused the suppression of any part of it.—To
return to the tumult—lt was, we are happy to say.
much less than CM the preceding night. Ne pla-
curds made their appearance, until the very last
scene of the last act, and then their duration was
on short, that it was imposeible to read one of them
throat:hoot. There were a few scuffles in the pit.
wilice soon outwitted. Some showers of bills pro-
ceedecl, es usual, from the upper boxes ; but they
were not acconipanied with the same applause as
upon former Crect4inrys.
The Luck and tollowed ; but, from the con-
tinuation of the tumult, no part of it was audible.
Many placards were hoisted in the pit, but their
elevation was very transitory ; eni so i;reat an ef-
fect had the" PublicAylice, Busmstreet," upon these
performers, that the most active malcontent,: took

out uttering another syllable. The audience
then :unwed themselves with a verse of Ged sant
the Kiv, and Ruts Britannia ; after which, they
departed, having been-far less noisy than on any for-
mer occasion. We have therefore the consolation to
think, that this diegrachil scene will no snore be re-
peated in a manner so offensive to decency is it has
been. The row is dying away, and its last convul-
sions are, upon the whole, less violent than was to be
expected. Peace be to its *sliest and, with all other
lovers of the drama, we joyfully inscribe upon its
tomb—" Requieseat im pare."

During the preceding night, the walls, in many
places. bud been covered with senseless scrolls, and
during the day it was whispered, in ail directions,
that John Bull would not sutler the notes of Ma-
dame C. to pass current here. The seine topics—
the same assertions---which your London prints
&tie so liberally supplied. were on tier occasion re-
sorted td; -native talent wits exalted, foreign excel-
lence decried. Good God ! Sir, if we pursue this
monstrous idea to its consequences, where are we
If foreigners did not encourage us, if they regard-
ed only native talent, we might repose ou our an-
vils end slumber et our looms. The sequel sill
prove that such is not the sentiment of the um-
POLlsitErt inhabitants of Birmingham.
The bills of the day suriounced that the perform-
ances would 'commence with God saes the King,
led by Madame Catalani. About a quarter past
seven the curtain rose. Madame Catelsid, support.
ed by Mr.. Watson, and the whole strength of this
Company, appeared on the stage. She wits re-
ceived with a burst of applause almost unexampled.
The band struck up, but not so Madame Catalani;
overpowered with the reception she experienced,
the efforts the made were ...sin I The tear, which
stole down her check—the drooping head—the
beaded knee—ell testified how deeply she frit this
ewonteittemot mart' of epiwwhettoo. At length,
after being kindly cheered and supported by Mrs.
Watson, she surceeded in going through two vetNeo;

the audience and performers must dispute the
palm.

When she appeared, to sing her first song, the
same enthusiastic applause awaited hvr. It is true,
that now was heard the appalling hiss, but feeble
and unsupported. Immediately the audience rase,
and with a unanimous and determined voice, order-
ed out the intruders; for such they evidently were,
I,eing here unknown, sod iu travelling attire. Mil-
dame C. now proceeded, not only without interrup-
tion, but with continued and increasing applause, to
the end of the performance ; each of her *imp was
repeated, to the delight and admiration of all present.
RITRACT 'mow ANOTHER LETTER, lAMB DATE.

Madame Catalan! made her first appearance here
last night. It was a complete triumph over illiberal
prejudice and umustily Malice. In every place,
however amiable and respectable, there will be
some persons of narrow winds aid contracted ideas.
Besides, an euxiiiary carpi attended from the cabal
in London. for the expresa purpose of kicking up a
row, and destroying by intrigue the fair hopes of
this interesting stranger; whistles. mail-coach limes,
awl other instruments of ...wormer, were put in re-
quisition, to produce a second. edition of the Covent-
Garden riots; but the pad sense and liberality of
the audience were so prevalent and decided, they
were completely overpowered. and the opposition
only served to render the reception of this fascinating
syren the more diatinguislied and interestidg. Her
appearance, as she presented herself, was at once
noble, modest. and dignified. She was sensibly
'affected by the ardent applause which greeted
her entre, and the audience were not lea aGcted
by her emotions. Under these eircumtances.
her singirg was so very impressive. that the tor-
rent of applause drew forth her tears. The belies
evinced similar proofs of sensibility ; whilst the gen-
tlemen cunt' ed their applause and approbation,
with a passion and spirit almost without example.
One solitary inAltvidurd iu the boxes, a stranger,
dared to interrupt the general feeling, and instantly
the house was in an uproar of indignation ; those
immediately about him seised him by the collar.
and turned him out with every mark of detestation.

THE 31.1RQUIS DOW:vs/111:r.
In a former paper, we hail occasion to notice the
elatteriog reception which this young Nobleman ex-
perienced, upon his arrival in Ireland, hat July,
when he left Oxford, sod proceeded to mal:e a :our
to visit the estates in that country, which have de-
scended to him from his ancestors. His previous . I
character, during it continuance among his le.
nautry, and the friends of his flintily. has log no.
thitig of the expectations which, were entertained
of it, upon his first iatroduction to them. His
tensible, well-informed mind, augagiug mannera,
loyal and patriotic disposition, and aualfected at-
tention to tile public and private dotes of his
tion, (the result of a virtuous and a sound educe.
tiom) have endeared lens to all who set a 'pop.,
value upon qualities like these; which .ire ,o
one ea-
airy to enable a person of his rank, property, acrd
couseapietit influence, to execute all those duties •
with propriety. Such an example, in the higher
orders, cannot fail to produce ti.e most beurticial
public effect ; and the private good which must
proceed from it is iocalculable.
In times, like the oreseat, of fashirmable folly end
dissipation, what can so powerfully r.•strinit and
correct the virretit of evil, that Rows from them. as
the exemplary' conduct of pergola, ru elciated situ,-
tions ?—A sincere and regular observance of reil-
gious and moral principles, accotnisanying sin It an
diffused ut lint extensive intercwirse with every
rink of society, and the encouritg-int-nt and pro-
tection afforded by the powerful and diluent to-
wards ull that is gnod, roost tend more effectually
tai repressevery propensity of a contrary tendency,
than all the eloquence of the pulpit. We hail,
therefore, with the highest satisfaction, the import.
ant iiequition to the country, and to Society in
general, of such examples as have marked the
auspicious beginning of ti.ig young Nobleman's
public life.
On Sunday, the Bth instant, Iris Lordship attain.
ed his 21st year. After divine service, the indus-
trious poor, of every sect and persuasion, indiscri-
minately, upon all his estates, and those of his
noble mother, the Marchioness of Downshire, iu
England and Ireland, received botustifal dentitions
by the hands of die resident Clergymen. And we
cannot conceive a mere heartfelt gratilicaticti than
to learn that many thou-crud, of their distressed fel-
low creature* were relieved and made happy on
that day, lir their generous benevolence. Stvii
kindness and feeling Inward; the indigent, cannot
fail .to be repaid by their blessings and their al- -
feetious,.which are the rweetest of all rewards.
On Monday, the 9th, Ilis Lordship's hins-Ai,
was observed at all the prinfipul towiis upon his ex.
trustee estates its Ireland, semi every, testimony of
joy and respect, and we subjoin an account, as
given in the Irish rapers, of tic truly noble and
hospitable netimer iu which it was kept at his priu.

GRAND FETE AT H:LLSIMROI/13,1R.
The birtki-day of the Nlirgisis of Uwnshire.ipe
on the completing of his :Ist rea., was celetrrated
at ilillshomagh, rrn the 9th instant, and never hire
we witnessed is more imposing spectae:e then was
there exhibited to us on that day.
Lan_, and too jostiv, has it hewn the complaint
of Irelend, diet her Nanlity end great Pro-
prietor, indolently reposin.; on thelep of pleasure,
in the sister kingdom, have been cold ,ud Mattel..
tire to that country from whence their wealth and
imunurs were derived. Ti. perceive, in the heir of
one of our most illustrinn, sod ~cmient
hAtiderl down with his honours and estaus from Ins
aucestors, n mode of thinking and of acting an dif-
feient front what we have ailuded to, is zr.difying
in the highest degree---and we dwell with &het
upon a scene in which this young and powerful
Nobleman has assumed his station amongst us,
with a Juicy of sentiment so promising and so
auspicious.

At sun-r:se. upon the morning of Nfondity. the 9th
instint, tlie np!,ros,:hiligifte was announced by a
discharge of artillery from the Fort of
rough, accornlianied by 11 merry peal from Ilse bells
of its magnificent emirch, and the band of the
Westmeath regiment of militia followed with some
loyal and ustriotic tunes.
Towards noon, the tenantry of Lord Downshirc's
Kilwarlin Estate begun to wo,ernhie iii the illarket-
square, an entertainment having been provided far
t twin, worths• of the host and the occasion. in
description, however, must lose much of its effect.

About one o'clock, the great gate, leading to the
western passic,e to the Fort, having, heels thrown
open by the Warders, the tenantry, with their wives
and families, proceeded in the most regular and
orderly manner to the western glacis. cud having
admired, as they passed, the uipialial sight of an
immense ox and some sleep voa-tiiig VW II c, were
admitted into the urea of the Furl,

persons. The tables and seats were form. dof old
pines, felled its the adjoining park, and extended in
fourteen roiva, from the castle to the ea,tern rain-
tat t; It avine as intermediate space between the
rows, fiir the attendants. The. tables were 'nest
plentifully supplied with large joints of roast and
boiled beef and mutton, bread, vileiables, pies,
and plum-ridding, all of the most excellent hind,
and arranged in the neatest mud most comfortable
style. We were astonished at the ease awl pr.nisp-
titisile with which the whole was conliniqed. From
the firing of the_gun, the signal for throwing •peit
the great g:ite of the castle, a very short time
*lapsed until the tables wer.• tilled, sail the slit-
tions assigned to the tenantry of the various tow it-
land, were occupied, with less of confusion and
bustle than we could have believed possible, with-
riAt having witnessed it.
Upwards of 4.500 persons, composed of the te-
nantry of the estate, were sitting at dinner
at the same insusiit, and were copiously supplied
with excellent ale, by the domestics of the house,
the bailiffs of the estate, and their assistants : flags .

and national airs. Soon after the tenantry airs
