WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1812.

Ti!is morning'we received 'Paris Papers to the
15th inst, They do not contain any news from the
.4r»zy ia Russia. We have only time to make the
following :extra.cts

PARIS, Nov. 1.1.
ARMY OF THE SOUTH OF SPAIN.

The town, and fort of Chinchilla, situated upon
the frontiers of the Kingdom of Murcia, joining
La :Mancha, were for a. long time occupied by an
enemy's garrison, whose distance from the active
theatre of operations allowed it to maintain itself
,in its position, which besides was very strong.—
The Army of the South on leaving Andalusia to ef-
fect •its junction with the Army of the Centre, ap-
proached Chinchilla, and Baron d'ERLoN, who
commanded the advanced guard, received_orders
to take the place.i,
On.the 3d October, the town was.taken, and
occupied by our troops, on which day the invest-
ment of the fort commenced, and the Comman-
dant refused to surrender. At the conclusion of
five days labour, a breach being effected, disposi-
tions were made for carrying it by assault, when
the enemy, intimidated, demanded to capitulate.
This capitulation, which granted the honours of
war to the garrison, was concluded on the Bth,
and 'Aiarshal Duke of DAL' :LTIA immediately
caused the fort of chinchill4 to be destroyed.
We will hereafter publish the detejls, which
shall arrive icspecting the siege of this place,—
(Moniteur, Nor .12.)
MITTAu, OCT. 27.--11 is Ex.cellency the Mar-
shal Duke of TmteNTE, Commander in chief of the
10th corps of the '-i'rand Army, arrived here yes-
terday 1110Ining.—(Gazette de France, Nov, 13.)

COPE NH AC;klc, 0cr..31.-r-The demonstrations
had been made against Zealand, having
had no cr,Asequences, a part of our troops will be
dismissed, after having performed their manoeuvres.
Nor Way is still in a-respectable state of defence.
--=--(Joyrwil de TEmpire, Nov. 13)
WARs,Aw, Nov. 2.—We have nothing but sa-
tiSfactory intelligence to give of the army. Prince
SagWI4.IITZE/pERG writes, under date of the 2Gth,
from,Wrozembe, , ,Letters of the same date have
likewige been received from General REGNIER at
Kryeszcin, r. r Droghetchin. The position of
the ' army was excellent. .The enemy had
not recovered from the vigorous attack made
against ESSEN, and the manner in which that
General had been led, fighting for 18 hours, to.
Brzee. Our reinforcements were to arrive on
tha day, on which they write. This affair bas per-
fectly tranquilised 'Warsaw. T§CH talCotF. de-
tached two divisions to menace it ; he recalled
them in great haste to take them to TOnMAZOW.

They *rite from Wilna,
.the 31st October,—
" We are very tranquil, and, the grand movement
which has been. made froM.Moscovi has not left
us-a shadow of doubt respecting the future.. Be-
.

:ides, we were in a condition to resist some thou-
sands.of Cossacks, had they even been supported
by some risgular light troops.
" On the 4fll November, we shall have 20,000
12.;:00 of whpm will be French or Germans.

" There is no occasion foffear, either respecting
Marshal St. Cyr, or Prinee,SCHWARTZENBERG ; on
the contrary we have only gi-,it.ying intelligence
to report."—(Journal de Paris, Nov. 12.)
POSEN, OCT. 28.—The Austrian . and Saxon
corps d'arinee, has. rendered all the enetny'4, pro.-

jects abortive.
On the 18th, the' Russian Army, which ad-
vanced by Brzese, attacked the Allies, who
opposed a vigorous resistance, repulsed, and Pur-
sued them half-way from Biala to Brzese.: they
left a great number of killed and wounded upon
the field, of battle. We took one piece of artil-
lery, au ammunition caisson, and about 200 men.
On the 21st, entered a battalion of troops from
Wertzburgb ; on the 23d Col. Baron STOKOV/SKI
arrived front Spain with `'a part of his , regiment.
On the same day, entered a detachment of French
dragoons and llulans.--Journa/ de Paris, Nov. 12.
BERLIN, Nov. 3.—We have received the intel-
ligence that General D'YoRK, who cow mands ,the
Austrian auxiliary corps, has had fresh engage-
ments with the garrison of Riga, which made
sorties with considerable force.

These sorties have had the same fate as the
preceding 'ones: The Russians have been re-
pulsed at all points, and obliged to re-enter

R i ga..

• The corps of the Prussian army is still upon the
EkaW. Light thousand Bavarians are in march
-to join the Grand Army, they pass through Saxony
and Silesia.—(Jortrnal de Paris, 14 Nov.) •
PARIS, Nov. 13:—A Police Ordinance dated the
6th inst. prohibits every individual, whether in
Paris or in the rural communes in the jurisdiction
'of the Prefecture, to keep a public bil:iard,table,
without permission from the Prefect of
Any billiard-table established in an,house open to
the public,,comes under this prohibition.
All persons now keeping a public billiard-table,.
mutt make A' declaration of it within eight days.
Every master Of a billiard-table shall be obliged to
place on the exterior of his house an inscription
bearing the words " Public Dilliard Table." They
are forbidden to receive vagabonds, or . people
without occupation: Every, billiard-table which
shall be known to be habitually frequented by
these individuals, shall be shut hp.--(Journal 4
l'Empire,
,Nov. 14.).
STRA.LSUND, OCT. 17.—in the night between
the 10th and 11th of this month, thirteen trading
vessels, all laden with the productS of 'the North,
making part 'ot a convoy of 300 sail' coming from
the ports of Russia, were stranded in a fog at the
extremity of the Peninsula of Wittow, 'the north-
east part'of the island or Rugen.
According to the repOrts of the shipwrecked
Captains, it appears that the thickneSs of the fog,
which continued five days, must have caused the
dispersion and loSs of a great number of vessels,
several of which. have already fallen into the
hands of the French

An, Engl44h frigate, .which convoyed them,
must inevitably have suffered, the same fate, if
the signal of distress, fired:by a brig of war which

11'0 just gone on shore, had not informed her in
time or the.: danger in which she was. She
grounded for a moment on the,sand, and suffered
great damage.
The whole of the crew of the brig-of war have
been saved. The English. set it on fire. The

greatest'exertions were Making to save, .the car-
goes with all expedition; w.heti, on the l4th.. in
the morning, the fog clearing up, a fs igate of the
,enemy and a brig were seen within,a cannon-shot
of the land, manoeuvring to place themselves oil
the line of the stranded vessels. 'Thcv made en,
deavours,rbut in vain, to get off three Alips-, to
which they were obliged.at last-to set tire.
The enemy appeared in an instant upon the coast,
but we marched to meet them with such precipitation
and firmness that they took the resolution of re-
embarking, which they only had time to accom-
plish, protected by thegrape-shot of the frigate and •
brig. Same hours after the enemy's boats made fresh
attempts, to set fire to the other vessel's. They
were received on all points by so well directed a
fire of musketry, that they were quickly obliged
to abandon their design, having had several men
killed or wounded, and leaving in our power one
of their boats.
The last proof of spite the English gave, was to
deliver to the flames a three-masted ship, the de-
fence of which was rendered • impossible by her
distance frCnn the shore. The same fate appeared

regret that we have to mention the death:of thi*
Gentleman, which happened yesterday. He was,
we believe, in the 74th yeat of his age. He 'was
descended from an ancient and highly respectable
family in Norfolk, of which the late Sir WILLIAM
JERNINGIIAM; Bart.. was the head. nr. JEK-
NINGHAM was the youngest brother ,of that
Gentleman. He was sent, in the earlier part
of his life, to France he remained sonat time
in the. English- College at Douay, and, •zwas
removed to Paris, where he improved himself in
classical attainments till he had neaely reached
his twenty7firstyear. He was agood Latin scholar,
and was talerably,well acquainted with 'the Greek.
The,French and italian.languagesebut partleularly,
the former, were nearly as familiar to him as tl;
of his native country.; In his mind heuevole.e
and poetry had always a mingled optmttion.
taste waS fOhnded upon the be :-,L models of litera.:.
titre. The first production which raised him into
public notice *as a- poem i recomniendiition u 1
the Magdalen,HOspitt.Ci, ap(l,i',.l.r. J. 11‘NWAY, one
of its most active patrons , often ae(ltred that its ti46:-.
cess was very. much promoted by this poem,—
He :continued occasionally to uifortl _proofs of
his poetical genius, and his works passed
through many editions: They, are nraormly
marked by taste, elegance, ant{ a pensive cha-
racter that al‘`-..ays excites tender and pleas-
ing emotions. In some of his Works, howeVereas•
in The Shakespeare Gallery, Eathusidsin, and The
Rise.- and Fall of ,Veandinavian Poetry; he displays
great vif,-our, and even sublimity. The first of these
Poems, had the follOWing elegant and spirited
.complinient front Mr. BURKE, in the following
passage i-L-" I have not, forea long time, seen
any thing so well-finished. He has caught new
fire, .by apprOaching; in his perthelitoilso near to
the Sam of our poetical system.--His last work,
publiThed a few months anrt() and which has
reached a second. edition, was entitled, fi‘ The
Old Bard's Farewell." It is not
.unwOrthY of his
best days, and it breathes an air of ben.ivolence,
and grateful piety for the lot in life which Provi-
dence-had assigned to him, highly. honourable
.to
his heart as well as to his talents. His family
are all of the ROman CathOlic persiiasiOn, but he'
very early conformed to. the Protestant faith, and
remained in it till his death, having received the
Sacrament, according to the rites. of the ChUrch
of England, on Wednesday last. His il!ne,
had long.continued, and was very severe at times,
but he bore it with the firmness tif a Philosopher,
or, :rather., with the patience and resignation of, a
true Christian-. He had,'for the whole of his life,
enjoyed an intimacy with the highest people in
this country, and Was particularly intimate with
the celebrated Earl of .CHESTERFIELD and the
present Earl of CARLISLE. He was.-for several
weeks honoured by having been aft inmate-with
the Pyince Of WALEs„ at Brighton, soon aftei the
marriage ,of his Royal Highness, and wa.S fa
voured with the Prince's attention and ain-
decending inquiries. during his last, illness.-=--
it may be finally said; that-" his life was gentle,—
and that very few lieu have ever passed theough
the world who have Teen, more reserving of its ,
esteem and respect,. within their circle' of action,
than this Gentleman. .

WAR DEPARtMENT. -
Downie -street, Nov. 17, 1812.

Dispatches, of which the following are extracts,
have been. this day received, at Earl Bathurst's
office., addressed to his Lordship by General the
'l%TaNuis of Wellington,. dated Cabecon, 26th and
28th October, Rueda, 31st October, and 3d Nov.
1812. •

Catecon, Oct. 26, IM2.

. .
I have been so much ,occupied by the, move,.
ments and operations of the army since, the 18th
instant, that I have
_not been' able 'to write to
your LOrdship..
The operations of, the Castle of ~Burgos conti-
nued nearly in the state: in which they. were vhen
I addresSed your Lordship on the 11th instant,
till the 18th. Having at that timereceived a sup-
ply of musket ammunition from Santander, and
having, while waiting for that necessaryarticle,
completed a mine under the church of St. Roman,
Which: stood in an outwork of the second line,' 1
:determined that the breach which we had effected
in the secondline.should be stormed on that even-
iag,.at the moment this mine should explode ; and
that at the same time 014 line should be attacked
br calad e.
The mine succeeded, and Lieutenant-Colonel
Browne lodged a party of the 9th cac.,diores,and
a detachment of _ Spanish troops of the regiment
of Asturias in the outwork. A detachment of the
King's German legion, tinder Major Wurnib, car-
ried the breach and a detachment of the Guards
succeeding in escalading the line; but the enemy
bronght such a fire upon these two last detach-
ruea.,-. from the third line,. and the body'of the
castle and they were attacked .by numbers
so superior, before could receive the support
were obliged to retire,
allotted to.theni, that tliC"';
suffering_ considerable loss. ti J.or Wurmb was
nnfortunately killed. - -
It,is impossible to represent n.adequate t...grms
my sense of the conduct of the Guards and German
Legion upon 'this occasion ; and lam quite sa-
tisfied-, that if it had .been possible to maintain
the posts: which they had- gained with so. much
ga'.iantry, these . troops wonid have :maintained
them. Some of the, men stormed even the third
line,-:•and one Ivas killed:in one of the'endifazures
of tha.t.line; and I had the satisfaction of seeing
_that could' breach the wall of the•Casge we
should carry the place.
Another mine was commenced under the second.
line from the Church. of St Roman, •of 'which we
remained in. posscssion.
•-The,enemy had on. the 13th moved forward a
considerable body•of infantry, and six squadrons
of cavalry froM Briviesca to reconnoitre our
_out-
posts at, Monasterio.,. They attacked the pic.quet
it the bridge in front of the town, but were re.,
Pulsed-by the fire of a detachment of.the infantry
of the Brunswick •Legion. In this affair, Lieut.-.
,Colonel the Honourable Frederick' Ponsonby,.
who commanded at Monasterio, was wounded,
but' not severely; and- I hope I shall soon again
have the -benefit of his assistance.
1. had long had reports of the enemy's intention
to,mivance for the relief of the Castle of Burgos
with the army•of Porthgal, reinforced by troops
recently ..arrived front France, and with that part
of the army of the .north 'was disposable ;
and they -did nttvaace in considerable force against
the post at:iiohaster.o on the evening of the 18th.
The subaltern of the . Brunswick 'Legion, who
cOtinnanded a piequet in St. Olalla, disobeyed:his
orders in remaining in that village 'upon the ap-
proach of the enemy; and he was taken with his
picquet. The enemy consequently obtained pos-
session of the -heights which eonimand the town
Monasterio, and our outpost was obliged to
retire on the morning of the 19th. to the Burgos
snit of the town:.

I. assembled -the-troops, excepting those neces-
sary for carrying on the operations of the siege,
aS Soon as it appeared by the enemy's movement of
the 18th, that they entertained serious intentiOns •
of endeavouring to raise it, and placed the allied
army on the heights, having their .right at Bells,
Oa the Arlanzon,,the centre-at, Rio Vena and 'Ma-
garadas, and the kit at Soto Pallacio, The enemy's.
army likewise assembled in the neighbottrhood of.
Monasterio.. They moved forward on the evening
. of the 20th with. about ten thousand men/to drive
in our outpost at Quintana Palla, and OhnOs-.. The.
former .withdrew, by, order, but the latter was
maintained with great spirit by-the Chasseni'S
Bri-
tanniques, Seeing a fair opportunity Of, striking
a,bloW upon the enemy, I requested Lieutenant-
:General SirEdwa.rd Paget .to move with the Ist
and,sth divisions upon the eneiny's right think,
.s'vhich movement has ing been «ell executed, drove:
th,eo hack upon .I‘fonasterio; anti our .posts were
r'epl'aced in-Qtantana
On the morning of the 21st, I received it letter
from Sir Rowland, llill,. ofthe 17th, in whirl► he
acquainted me of the enemy's intention to:inove
towards the Tagus, which was already fordable.
by individuals in. many place's,- and was likely to
become so by an army.
The castle of Chinchilla had surrendered' on the
9th instant.

The enemy's force: in Valencia 'Was snpposed•tO
amount to not less than 70,000. men, m very large.
proportion Nyhich, it.was-expeCtecl„ would be
;-disposable for service, out of that kingdom.
I had desired Lieutenant-General Sir Rowhlnd,
Hill to retire from his position on the Tagus, if he
shOuld find that,he could not -maintain himself in
•it with advantage ; and it was necessary that I
should be near him, in.order that :the corps under
my command might not be insulated, in:.conse
quenrce of the movements. which he should find
himself under the, necessity of makitig; I there
fore raised the siege of Burgos on the night of
the 20th, and moved 'the whole army back towards
the Douro,

I felt severely the sacrifice I was thereby obliged
to mike. Your: Lord Ail). is ;aware that I was
never very sanguine in my expectations. of.snccess
in the siege of I;urgosi notwithstauding that I
considered success, was attainable, _' even with the
means-in my power, within a reasonably limited
period. If the , attack made on 'the fiat line ,on
the 22d or the. 29th had, succeeded, believe we
41.1ckuitl have taken the
.pla'cc, notwithstanding the
ability with which the Governor ~coiatteted the

add the gallantry with which it was exec
cur t,i by the garrison. Our means were "'united;
but it, appeared to me, that if we should .qiceeett,
the vilvautage to the cause would be arcnt, and
01o:final success of the catupair,n would have,Veen
ce!

. . .
---
1 r•ad every reason to be satisfied- ,with the
conduct of the officers and troops during the
..sige of -7`,'‘,Ygos, particularly with the brigade of
Guards .

During ti.e eitter part of the siege the weather
was very untlyVovrable, and the troops suffered
much from the The 9:lticers at the- head of
the artillery .and eivitieer departments-L.-Lieut.-
Colonel' Robe, and I,ieutenant-tol: Burgoyne,
and.Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson, who comthands-
theyeserve'artillery;retukred me every assistance:
and the faihuve of sitedeSi is not to.be attributed
to them,. By their aetiTity e carried off every.

19th ultimo in the storm of the hornwork:- Buy
ing sent (=cattle to meet the-equipment expected
from. Santander, we had not the means of•thoving.
the latter.' ' e • •

'Theenemy was. riot aware of our movement,
-did
and not follow us till late on the 22d, when
ten thousand men encamped .on this side of-
Burgos.
The British army encamped at Celada dcl Ca-
mino and HornillOs, with the light cavalry at Es-
tepan and Baniel. NVe -continued our march' on
the folloWing day, the right of the army to Tor-
quemada, the left to Cordevilla, at which 'places'
we crossed the Pisucrga,. _
The ene:ny falloWed our :movement Nvith their
whole army. Our rear guard consisted of two
light battalions of the King's German Legion,
under. Colonel Halkett, and of Major-General An=
son's brigade, of -cavalry ; and Major-General
-Bock's brigade was halted at the Venta del .Pozo
to give them support. The whole under the coin-
4nand oft,Lieutenant General Sir Stapleton. Cotton.
Don Julian Sanchez Tr:Excited on the left of the
Ariii-nzon ; and the party of Gudillas, heretofore
cirnandd by the late. Martinez, on • the hills on
the left of our-rf:ar:guard.

Major Geueral Anson's brigade charged twice
with great -success, in femnt of Celada del Cami-
no, and the enemy was detained above three hours
by the troops under Lieutenant General Sir S.
Cotton in the passage of the iformaza, in front
of that village. -

The 'rear—guatd continued to fall back in the
best order, till the Guerillas on .the left having
Seen driven in, they rode towards the flank of the
rear guard of :Major General -Anson's brigade, and
Tour or five -squadrons of the enemy mixed with
them.. These were 'mistaken for Spaniards, and
they fell upon the flank and rear 6f our troops.
We sustained some loss, and Lieutenant Colonel
Pelly,'of the 16th dragoons, having had his 'horse
shot, was taken prisoner;
The delay occasioned by this misfortune enabled
the enemy to 'bring up a very superior body of
cavalry, which was charged byMajor gen. Bock's
and Mljor Gen.' Anson's brigades., near the Venta
. del Pozo, hut 'unsuccessfully, and our rear-guard
was bLrdly pressed. The etiemy Made their
charges on the tviro light battalions of the King's
Perman formed in' squares, but were al-
ways repulsed with considerable loss by the srea-
.dioe.,, of these two battalions: They suffered no
tys and 1 cannot sufficiently applaud their con:
duct and that of Colonel HalKett, who commanded
them.
The exertions and conduct of Lieutenant-Ge-
neral Sir S. Cotton, and of the officers -and staff
attached to him throughout this day, were highly
meritorious, and although' the charge made, by
the cavalry was not successful, I had the satis-
faction of observing great steadiness• in their
movements. Major Bull's troop of horse artillery,
under Major Downman and Captain Ramsay, dis-
tinguished thernserves.
_ _ _

The army eontinued its march on the 24th, and
took up its ground on the Carrion, with its right
at Dueuas and its left at Villa Muriel, and the lit
battalion lst:Guards joined us from Corunna.

I hatted here•on the 25th, and the enemy .at-
taCked our left at Villa Muriel.. They were re-..
pulsed', hol,Vever, by the, fifth division of infantry,
under the command of .Major-General Oswald, in
the abSence of Lieut.-General Leith, on account of
inapoSition.
I kaa•dirMed the third ,battalion oftheltoyals
to match to Placencia, to protect the destruction of.
the 'bridges over' the Carrion at that place, but it
appears that the enemy assembled in such force at
that point, that Lieut.-Col; Campbell thought it
necessary to retire upon•VilladNittrie4 and the ene-
my passed the Carrion at Palencia.. This render--
ed it, necessary 'to' change ':our front,. and I.di--
teatcd • Major-General .oSwald•- to throw hack
our" left,• 'and the Spanish troops upon the
lief it;ts, arid to- maintain the Carrion with
the right of the fifth' &Vision. The bridge of
Villa Muriel was destroyed ; but the enemy dis-'
covered a -ford, and passed over -a- considerable
body of infantry and cavalry: I made,:Slajur-Ge-.
Tiered Pringle and 'Major4ieneral Barnes attack
these troops under the orders of M.'General,Osr
wald; in which attack the Spanish troops
.co-.
operated, and they were driven across- the river
with considerable loss. .The -fire upon the left
had been very severe 'throughout the day ; from
which we suffered a great deal ; and M.. General
Don Miguel Alava' •was'imfortimately wounded
while urging on the Spanish infantry in the pur-
suit of the enemy.
I broke tip this morning from the. Carrion, and
marched "upon` Cabecon del. Campo, where I have
crossed- the PiStterga. ,
The.enemy appear to be moving in this direc-
tiOn from Duenas. I propose to halt• here. to-

Extract-ofa Dispatch ftbni the Marquis of . •
• tali, dated Cabecol; October.2B, Igl2.
S,itice`i wrote to yonr Lordship upon the...fith,
I hay.::e had an opportunity of seeing -the'enemy'S,'
whole army, as they.. pl4ced themselves- oppdiite-
us, ~on the Pisuerga, ,yesterday. They Are certainly
in very great strength. • Thearmv Of Portugal has'
zeceived a reinforcement Of ten thousand men,
including cayalny;froM Vranee : and I have reason'
to believe that there are two divisionS of infan;
try now. With this army belonging to the army of •
the N'orth. The cavalry of the antiy of the North •
is certainly with the army of Portugal; and they'"
hate:at least.fivc thousand
~.,;ood. cavalry. :
No event of importance has. occurred 'since I ad-
dressed your Lordship on th4-26th. The-enemy
formed their army in the'plain in our front yestEr=
day.: They have cannonaded
...different parts of
our line without doing us any injury, excepting
ting,that Lieute,..l?;ntLCoiociel RObe, of th& ft
Artillery, ybuila6irsei'ere.iy but not dang-er,
ously, yesterday

Ruecia; October 3 /21812.

The enemy crossed the Carrion 'on the,26th and
27th, and ;maned their army; on the heights near
oix the last of those daNs, opposite our:
position on the left..6l:theTisiierga, and their ad:,
vanced guard about two .:front. •of-their
main bod.y, and half that di.st2nce froni Cabecon.
On the 28th :they :extended. thtir right, a!ld en-
deavoured to force the brah4c9 ot Sunancas
Valladolid, the forther of which waS'delended by
ColOnel flalkett,•With leis brigade.of thip
lion, and the latter by, Lieutenant-General the '
Earl of Dalhousie, with the remainder• of the 7th
division. At fength Colonel liaikett, being hard
pressed, blew up the bridge. Tie at the same time
detached the Brunswick Oels! regiment to Tonle-
towards which.the. enemy detached troops
on the evening of,the 28th. As soon.as I found ,
that this was the case; rth.ought it proper to break
up. from the PiSuerga arid to cross the Douro,
which object was effected lyikhout difficulty on the;
29th instant, by the bridgeg of Puente Douro at .
Tudela.

The bridge of Tordesillas 'Was destroyed on the
enemy's approach. to that town, on the even:ng of
the 2t'.ith, and I had sOit orders to the re';ithent of
Brunswick Oels to take'post on its ruins, iu such
manner as to prevent the enemy from rep.ziiriiig
the'btidge. I had the mortification, however, of
learning,. On the night of the 29th, that this regi-
inent had been obliged to abandon its post, and
as I had seen the enemy's 'whole army in march
towards TOrdesillas on . the evening, it was obvi-
ous that no time was to be lost. I therefore
marched the army at an early hour yesterday
morning. to their left, and posted the troops OD
