CORRESPONDENT-OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK,
tf We lIIRICrt3taOd a Staff-Officer has just arrived
in town, by way of Cork, from the Head-quarters
of Lord WELLING:roN's Army, which he left the
19ih inst. His Lordship had established himself
at Bera. Sir JOHN Bora was at Audaye, The
Army was in excellent health, and in the highest
order encamped on the position from whence they
had driven the French on the Bth instant. We
are happy to state, that the report in the French
Papers of the capture of two British regiments, is
totally without foundation.

" It was the received opinion that Pamplona
could not hold out longer than the 25th inst. con-
sequently, we entertain sanguine expeztations that-
that important fortress is before now in our pos-
session.

" Every matter was reported to he tranquil at
the outposts of the army. 'lts positions were very
strong. There bad
.ben no late intelligence from
Catalonia, but it was expected that SUCHET
would retreat towards Prance.

" 'There was no • reason to suppose, at Lord
WELLINGTON'S head-quarters, that SGULT had
relinquished the command of the French army."
In addition tO the above, we have'receitired the
following frqm Cork, dated Oat. 29 :

LONDON,
rt7Esl).iy, NOVEMBER B. 1813.

A Mail from Passage has arrived this morning,
but does not Tossess us of any later intelligence
111;111 was contained in the Official Bulletin in our
publication of yesterday ; it will be found under
the usual head, together with such particulars as
have reached us front Ireland, whither the packet
was, in the first instance, driven by stress of wea-
ther. The only mutter of political interest is the
Decree for the removal of the Cortes to the capi-
tal of Spain ; and with regard to military opera-
tions the foliowing brief journal, with which
we are favoured by an intelligent Officer, on
the front of our positions, will shew that
they have been of a very unimportant nature
affording no grounds either for the pre-
tence to advantages set tip in Paris, or the ru-
mours of victories disseminated in London. Our
troops are in excellent quarters :

" Oct. 16.—0 n the Bth the enemy's only posi-
tion on this part of the Pyrennces was the stu.
petitions Mountain of La Run ; by a flank move-
moot Lord W. cut off 'their communication, with,
their rear, and drew off their out-posts; therefore,
under cover of darknesS, they evacuated this
posi-
tion, and on the following day the Spanish artily'
descended into their enemy's country. On the 10th
a redoubt was taken and retaken twice, and re-,
mained in our pOtsession, although within the
enemy's line—ll th and 12.0, little firing between
the. piccinets. 13th, The enemy in the night at-
tacked and carried' the redoubt, and bringing up
artillery, endeavoured to advance on our line,
but after several hours engagement, they were •
driven back into their original position. The
Spaniarils..were alone engaged, and sustained a
considerable loss, although less than the enemy.
General DOWNIE'S horse was shot under him, and
his Aid-de.:Camp, Captain STERLE, was wounded.
The British divisions,were in reserve, but the gal-
lantry and .firmness of the Spaniard% rendered their
assistance unnecessary. 16th,-,We are quiet; .and
think we shall remain so for the present. 17th
and loch, Every tiling remains quiet."

We, this day continue, our extracts from the
French Papers, which consist chiefly of parts of
addresses from 'various towns, in reply to the
cheering application for a new sacrifice of 280,000
conscripts. The more desperate the fortunes of
the:Usurper grow, the more unctions and submis-
sive may we expect to see the expressed senti •
meats of his slaves—the dregs of their bitter cup
must of course he the most nauseous to the wretch-
ed people who are thus forced apparently to.wor-
ship the rod which smites them ; to
Lick the band just rais'd to abed their ,blood."
It is again earnestly endeavoured to instil si-
milar sentiments with those contained in the as-
surances front Avignon, Gournay, Ste. upon the
people of Italy7—we are confident without effect.
The revolutionary springs, through the medium of
which Italy became a province; a Viceroyalty of
Gaul, are long since- worn out. A military despo-
tism was calculated to annihilate them very
speedily. When men, searching for freedom and
independence (even in imaginary hypotheses),
arrive at a disappointment so great as Italy
has met in the BUONAPARTE prize, their minds
naturally' revert to earlier impressions, and they
are apt to prefer their original shackles (allowing
This phrase for the sake of argument) to their
new fetters, even though the latter may be lighter.
The revulsion of defeated hope is ruinous to its
cause ; and therefore, granting 'what these dia-
tribes arc intended to enforce, that the yoke of
Austria was more painful and heavy than the
yoke of France, still we are inclined to main
tain that litim,an feelings, under the circum-
stances and 'impulses we have described, would
prompt the Italian nation to prefer the former to
the latter. ' The recoil of (minion generates ex-
tremes—but we rejoice to add that there is no oc-
casion for the action of this principle in the pre-
sent contest;—the tyranny of BUOSIAPARTH ; the
waste of lives be demands to uphold 103 autho-
rity ; the ocean of bl4od be requires to cement
his power; the sacrifices be compels to extend his
ambitious designs, leave no chance Of any con-
tract being discoverable which Can cause any sp.-
tetu to be tiwaf ht. so opprssive detestable, and
borriti.as his.

Most of the 'other Journals now repeat, with
greater confidence thaw lativie, that the long-ex-

peeted investigatlon or the failure or the elPa'
tion against Tarragona, has been determined u?
on. A Court of Inquiry is forthwith al be held
for this purpose at Paldram. No person
having
preferred any charges, a Court Martial etanot be
held till a Court of Inquiry shall have determind
whether there is any ground for further Pro'

ceeding. - • •
