SULEM QUIS DICEUE FALSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1812.

This morning we .received Corunna. Papers,
Erin which the following are extrects

CORUNNA,OCT. 29.—LordWELLINGToN,know-
jag of the junction of SOULT and SU CHET, and
that they intended to make an excursion to Ma-
drid, for Which purpo.,e they had already arrived
at Belmonte, marched from the neighbourhood
of Burgos, to reinforce General HILL, and prevent
any fortunate result for the French.---(Corunna
Diary, Oct. 30.)

TOLEDO, OCT. 12.--SOULT with . 13,000 in-
fantry and .7000 horse, is approaching, and is al-
ready in' San Clement,,but notwithstanding this,
we are perfectly easy, as our forces are superior.
MEDICO'S horse are gone to join PENNE and Mo-
itiLLos, and the MEDICO, remains ad interim Go-
'yernor of this place, with all his infantry, Which
he is endeavouring to augment•---(CorunnU Diary,
Ociob'er.)

MADRID, OCT. 19.—The van-guard of SOULT'S
army continues in Albacete under the orders of
DROUnT : it is composed of 15,000 men, and has
1000 horse in La Genets.

The enemy, seeing that the Castle of Chin-
chilla ipresented obstacles to their excursions,
steaightened its siege. In order to take it by 'as-
sa lit, without loss on their part, they collected

all the peasantry in the neighbourhood, and made
tfiree, attacks, but in vain, because they had nei-
ther made a breach in the castle, nor filled up the
fosse; the peasants nevertheless stiffered consi-
derably., _ .

" On -die Sth, in the evening,. a; shell -fell in-the
Castle, which wounded' its gallant Governor and
50 men, out of its valiant, and small garrison of
200 : this accident,' and having loit 15 or 20
men by the enemy's fire; the anterior dayS,Ohliged
it to capitulate-on the' Bch. When the official ac-
count is received, we slid!l give the details to the
public, which, according to the statement of au
artilleryman, do great- honour to that unfortunate
garrison.

MADRID, OCT. 16.—A letter which we have
seen from the lacad-quatters of the 2cl and 3d,
Armies,,dated the 11th inst. says, that SOVLT on
the sth inst. marched for Calaspana. The last
division, which consisted of from 4 to 5000 men,
with a considerable nurabtr of horse, were on the
3d before Caravaca.

On the 7th, an .enemy's battalion of infantry
and 300 horse presented themselves within cannon
shot of Penas de San Pedro, and received some
fire, to which tbey did Hirt reply; but continued
their march towards Tabarra. In this point there
are 6 or 7000 men, which are supposed to be part
SOULT'S and partSucHET's troops, who proceeded
from Albacete to protect the passage of the
former.

It is thought that there is a corps of from nine
to ten thousand men, with a considerable, quan-
tity of artillery, in Albacete. The enemy wish to
maintain themselves in that point, to facilitate the,

collecting of provisions.
For the same purpose, another 'enemy's corps
of 4000 infantry and 300 horse scour the

bourbeod of Jorquera.
We'knots, that the pnblic would be pleased by
our giving intelligence of the movements and pro-
gress of our armies ; to, their just demands :we
must reply, the publieation of certain military
facts would not forward the military operations,
and the enemylnight derive great service from it.
We have read several Valencian Gazettes, and
observe that the French say nothing of the posi
tions or movements of their armies. Will ienot
be time enough for us to inform them of what
they do not know when they instruct us ?.---Tor
'Otis reason we will content ourselVes, with saying
that the, fears of some pusillanimous persons are
Unfounded and , vain. The hopes of ' the se-
cret
agents •of the intrusive King, who dis-:
ciAlitirite alarms are deserving the most severe
punishment. We have force sufficient. We
have chiefs Avorthy of confidence. - We are se-
cure. This is what we can announce.—(lllodrid
Gazette, Oct. 17.) .
MADRID, OCT. 17.—The intrusive King, who
expected to remain in Catalonia and fix his resi-
dence iu the capital of Arragon, has changed his
opiniOn, and is preparing to proceed to Pam-,
plona. In this city he can receive communications
with more facility, and take measures with the
Senate. MASSENi has ordered 50 pieces of the
artillery brought from Castile to b© collected in
San Domingo de Victoria, -and Orduna Lt.°. be
fortified. •
SOULT, obliged to change his direc-
' tion, has desisted' from going JO Valencia, and
proceeding by Albacete to Rota, and Villaneuva
de Jara, indicates by his movements of crossing
the prOvince of Cuenca with the idea of march-.
ing 'to Navarre by Arragon. :To this change is
attributed that. of. Josurn's, and, it is said, that
both are little satisfied with Sum-iv'', and are go-
ing to try their fortune with MASSENA.
It appears that General HILL has his head-quar-
ters 'in Belmonte, from whence lie dispatched ad-
vice tq Lord WELLINGTON and General BALLAS-
TEROg. We do not doubt but that Souvr in-
tends paying us a visit,,and of even making a bold
movement to prevent the junction of our troops
with General HlLL.—(Corunna Diary, Oct. `'7.)

JUNIUS.—We yesterday drew the attention of
our Readers to the new Edition of the celebrat-
ed • LETTERS, which have so long excited ad-
miration under the signature of JUNIUS, and we
raturn to the subject because we consider the
work itself, with s all its copious and interesting
additions, as one of the most extraordinary pro-
ductions of Yiritish Literature. Whether these ad-
ditions, extensive and particular as they are,will lead
to a discovery of the Author, is still a very doubtful
point, because the hand of Death has removed most
of the persons whose sagacity, knowledge, and op-
portunities,might have enabled them to penetrate in -
to the mystery, and they who survive have probably,
forgotten the events and circumstances that might
afford them a probable clue. The preliminary essay
to this new and valuable collection is very well
written ; it takes comprehensive and minute
view of the subject, and examines with judg-
ment and candour the respective pretensions of
those to whom suspicion, partiality or general
opinion, have assigned the honour of composi-
tions, characterised by such rare intellectual pow-
ers, knowledge, and 'such ready and extraordinary
sources of political information. The Extracts
which we this day insert relate to the private cor-
respondence of the Author, of whose hand-writing
I fac-similes are given, in the Work.

slop the Press to state, that Government
have just -received Dispatches from _Col . BOURKE),
dated Corunna, the Bth inst. They do not con-
tain any intelligence. direct- from ,the Marquis of
WELLIN6TON ; but Col. BOURKE had received
Letters from the head-quarters_ of the Army,
which were dated' the,24th ult. On that day the
head-quarters of the Army were at Duenas,,which
our. Readers will recollect, when the last accounts
were received by the Fortunee, were the head-
quarters of the enemy. -
. •
These 'Letters did not contain. any particulars
respecting the operatiOns of the army. It was
supposed, that stlbscquent'to the date of those
letters, the French light troops lied intercepted
the communication between Head-quarters and

Corunna.
Lord WELLINGTON had sent orders to Corunna,
for the troops which had -arrived there, to go
round to Lisbon.
