To the WORTHY autt INDEPENDENT BURGESSLS of

GENTLEMEN,
rpm Dissolution of Parliament affords me an
-15. opportunity of publicly acknowledging the high sense
which I entertain of the honour you have on two former oc.
casions conferred upon me, having chosen me one of your
Representatives in Parliament.
Conscious of having endeavoured to fulfil the duties of that
important trust, by embracing every occasion of promoting
the general prosperity of the Country, the local inferesta of
the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed and your individual wel-
fare, I beg leave now again to offer myself as,a Candidate,
for the representation of your ancient and independent
Borough, and to solicit your votes and interest at the ensuing
Election.

I trust that it will not be deemed presumption if I ground
my pretensions in a reference to my pasttonduct. Should I
have the honour of being re-elected, it shall continue to be
my study and my pride, to prove myself not altogether unde-
serving of your confidence, and of the high distinction which
your kindness may again confer upon me.
I have the honour to be,

Gentlemen,
Your otliged and most obedient Servant,
ALEXANDER ALLAN.

GENTLENILN; '
As it is generally reported that Parliament IS
to be immediately dissolved, I agalu address. you, 'to
request the honour of your support at the approaching Elec-
tion. I hope to be able to call upon many of you, but your
number is now become so great in consequence of the re-
storation of your Charter, (upon which, permit me again most
sincerely to congratulate you) that should it not be in my power-
to pay my respects to each, I trust you, will believe, that un-
avoidable necessity could alone prevent my having the plea,
sure of Personally sOliciting Your Votes. I will only add:
that in the present arduous crisis of public affairs, it shall be
ray earnest endeavour, should I have the honour of being
elected one of your RepreientatiVes, to prove myself deserv-
ing of your choice, by a firm attachment to the principles f
our excellent Constitution, as well as a particular attention
to your local interests.,

GENTLEMEN, • •
WH t.
EN at the last, Dissolution of Parliament
I had the honour to address you, I stated distidctl
the principles by which my carliamentary condUct would be
regulated : I then pledged myself, that the sacred trust which
was placed in my hands, should' be exercised with .diligent
attention to the local interests ofjthe County, and unremitting
observance of the constitutional rights‘of the people. •
Whether I have or hare not redeemed that pledge, it is not
for me to determine: Feeling, however, as I do, the con-
sciousness of having never lost sight of those principles,
which formerly recommended me to your favour, I venture
once more to otter myself as Candidate for the high honour of
representing you in Parliament..

GENERAL ELECTION.

To the GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, and FREEHOLDERS of

the COUNTY 'of BEDFORD.

GENTLEMEN,
rip HE Dissolution of Parliament, which, accord-
ing to general expectation, appears on the eve of taking
place, induces me no longer to defer making known to you
that in case of that event it is, not in my contemplation to
'presume to solicit- a renewal 9f the distinguished honour you
conferred upon me at the late General Eledtion, by choosing
me to represent the County of Bedford in/Parliament. The
peculiar didiculties, which, at that time embarrassed yoUr
selection of- the Candidate to whom you should confide that
important trust have now ceased'to exist, and your future
preference Will naturally be directed towards perionq taore
intimately and closely connected with you than myself, and
whoeNcuperior •claims to your confidence seem :obviously to
'preclude an application on • my part,- which nothing but.. a'
temporary difficulty, and the declared sense of a numerous
and respectable meeting of the County, could have authorized.
. In retiring, however, from your SeryiCe, I cannot omit ex-
,
pressingmy gratitude for the honour you conferred upon me,
and to assure you, that it will ever afford to my mind a sub-
ject of the most gratifying reflection to•remenTher, that upon
an occasion of arduous political conflict, I had the honour to
be seleeted by the County of Bedfoici, 'for the declared and
special purpose for supporting the principles of Civil and
Religious Liberty: -

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1812.

Government have received Dispatches from the
Marquis of WELLINGTON, dated the 13th tilt. at
Torquernada, on the road to Burgos, in which di-
rection his Lordship was advancing upon the re-
mains of MARMONT'S army. •

A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning, and Gib-
raltar Papers to the 12th nit. The Marquis of
WELLINGTON was advancing towards Burgos, be-
fore which place he was expected to arrive by the
15th, so as to compel the enemy, either to fight,or
retreat. MARMONT was at Burgos, fast recover-
ing frolb his wounds. SouLT's army had en-
tered Grenada and Jaen.. SUCITET remained sta-
tionary, watched by General MAITLAND. Sir
ROWLAND HILL was at Truxillo. The following
ore extracts from the Papers

LISBON, 19.--General HILL remains with
his advance at Don Benito, to the south of the
Guadiana ; he has sent a Portuguese force, which
has conveyed froth Elvas several pontons, aud
are placing thew on the Tagus at Almaraz.

Seuvr remains in the, south, but we do
_mot
know where his head-quarters are.
Generals -MAITLAND and SUCHET appear to be
watching each other there are rumours,, but
very little credit is attached to them, of an action
having taken place between their armies), and that
the British were victorious.

Lord WELLINGTON'S head-quarters. are now at
Valladolid.

The third division 'is at Madrid ; the 4th at,
the Escurial, seven leagues., from that-city, and
the. German' heavy cavalr'y at St. Ittlefons6, while
-the Marquis scours both sides of the Douro,
latterly infested by For's corps, which is now
commanded by CLAUSSEL, •who though badly
wounded, would not, as is reported pass the coin-.
mand to the next in rank.

MARMONT'S army is supposed to amount to
about 35,000 men, including 22,000 of those who
escaped from the battle of the 22d 'July, and
13,000 drawn from the garrisons and other

_sources.
AIARINIONT is at Burgos, and recovering very

fast.

. JOSEPH •is made; Generalis4no of the troops
in the Peninsula, during.N4roLß6t,';'s absence in
Russia. •

LISBON, SEPT:. 20.—0 n the 9th the Btitish
army crossed the bridge two 'capes below Valla-
dolid ; since which time it has been continually
advancing and pressing upon the enem-y. The
French force is, estimated at 20,000 infantry and
5000 cavalry, besides those. to join at Burgos.
The Allies, the Ist, sth, fith, and 7th
and General Paeg. and Colonel BRADFORD'S Por-
tuguese brigades, General ANSON'S brigade of light
,cavalry, Colonel PONSONBY'S heavy brigade, and
a German heavy brigade.
' It is generally supposed, that by the 15th our
army will have adVanced so' close upon Burgos
as to .force the enemy to give battle, or evacuate
the place. • • •
MADRID, SEPT. 8.—The army of the centre,
that is, the 2d and 3d army, after continually
moving tor 19 days, at last finally established it-
self at Heflin. (kingdom' of Murcia) on the 28th
August, for' the purpose of observing the ene-
my's movements. There daily present them-
. selves. at these. head-quarters an- immense
number of French partisans and. juramentados.
They first wish to, embrace our party and enter
tine Walloon Guards ; the 2d are destined for the
infantry.corps. Some juramentado Officers have
.likewise.deseeted, but they, as they have appeared
at a time 'when the country has •no occasion for
.their services, have been-sent as conidion soldiers
to Majorca.
On' the same day (28th August) General
FRERB was, with 1,200 horse, between Allacete
and Bonete, and General BASSECOURT in All Ora.
It is to this General that the greater number 'of
the deSerters from SueuET'S Army have presented
themselves, in consequence -of his .proximity to
..Almanza, the first place on the enemy's line.—
.
The English and the division from Majorca are in
Alicant and the neighbouring places.
, • On the 234 August, General MINA attacked an
enemy's corps, composed of 30011 infantry and 200
horse, on the high Pamplona road, near Tidos ;
the enemy's loss consisted of from 8 to 9to men.
Ou loss was df but trifling 'consideration.
On the 30th August, the French endeavoured
to remove the cannon which they had in the'up.-
per part of the castle .of Burgos, to place them in
the. lower part, and in ordey that all the artillery
may be able to play, they have
.determined to de-
stroy 70 houses of the district of S. Estevao...
General VILLA Camra according to what. an,
other General writes, `oh tlie,twenty-fifth August
near Requina (hetween,Guadit and Utel)
,at-
tacked- more than 1000 of the enemy's infantry,
with some artillery and cavalry; commanded by
General Baron 'Maros, completely destroying
them; the greater part was madefirisoners, others
were wounded,, and the remainder saved them--
selves by dispersion.
Our troops took two pieces- of artillery, the
the ammunition waggons, the convoy, and all
the baggage. These troops belonged to the gar-
rison of Cuenca, and others, -which were retiring
towards Valencia.

They write from Hellin, under date of the Ist
September, that the desertion from among the
French is so great, that 'in the space of eight days
more than 1500 cavalry and infantry, with their
arms and horses, have deserted.

The English and the division from Majorca
remain in Alicant, where they are constructing a
second line of defence, and garrisoning the points
of Agoste, Elda, and Castella. .

General FRERE has advanced to the n.ighbour-
hood of Almanza, -which, place is occupied by the
French General HARISPE.

General BAsszcoußr is marr,hing upon Cuenca,'
for the purpose of joining General VILLA. CAMPA.

On the 30th Anglia, General NINA was in

, ronte-la-neyna,- recovered from his 'wounds,
though he still suffered some inconvenience when
4ke mounted on horseback.

_ .
LISBON; Sr.r 1 9.--=The. head,quarters of his
Excellency the garquis,of rOzaEs VEDRAS Were
on. the 10th in Valladolid, but two or more of his
divisions had marched by the BUrgos road in pur-
suit of the enemy, Who. were ,in full retreat.—
There is reason for supposing that by the same
time General CAsTANos,tivith the Gth army, would
be in Placentia and its neighbourhood. •
Oct the 14th. September General army
`had entered- Truxillo ;- ,a bridge of boats were
thrown:over at Almarez, oVer which itpassed.l—
army had entered Grenada and Jaen.—
SouLT lately had his head-Rivarters in Alcala la
Real. •

The Madrid Gazette of the 10th gives an ac-
count of advantages obtained' by General.BAssE-
couuT-overKing JOSEPH'S cavalry, the result of
which was •100 killed, 200 dcsexters,, many
mules aid horses.

SEPT.'lBe—Yesterday entered 'into this
capital, the -greater part of the French who. fprnied
the garrison of the Retiro, at Madrid.

Yesterday, at half past four, P.M. his Excellency
MarshaIBERESFORD arrived in this capital ; we
have the !..ati.staction to announce that his Excel-
lency -isnpacli better.
