This day has brought a great influx of intelligence
.—Mails from Gottenbui.',4,ll, Lisbon, Gibraltar, and
Malta, and Corunna Papers to the 10th inst. having
arrived. We shall lay before our Readers such a
condensed selection of their contents as will put them
in possession of an ample, but perspicuous, account of
the intelligence which they bring.
- Two Couriers from Russia and Sweden came
over with Dispatches in the Auckland packet which
brought the Gottenburgh Mail. They wife landed
at Harwich:

The Swedish Papers contain, at full length, the
Treaty of ?eate concluded between Russia and
Turkey. The principal articles in it hive been
ready laid before our Readers.

SIEGE OF BU/tGOS.
t Burgos had not surrendered when our atecnints
came away, but the event was hourly expected. A
correspondent at the scene of action Writes to its as
foil qtr s :
" Camp beyond Bbrgoe, October 3.
" The heavy cavalry haVe at present next to no-
thing to do, the kind of warfare in which we are now
occupied allowing them some res(from their fatigues.
With lots of other amateurs, I went yesterday to see
the explosion of our second mine, and the storming

of the town wall and shot-yard. On account of the
former failure, the Marquis of Wzumwron deter-
mined that this -should be done in, broad day light,
and that he himself would see how all behaved.—
The thing was so generally known hi the morning,
that like at a horse race, or any public spectacle, all
the neighbotiring heights that commanded any view
were crowded with spectators, Spanish as well as
Ehglish, for three hours before the time given out at
which it was to have been done ; and though- the
Trench discharged shot and sheils from the castle and
the convent, all kept their ground, so great was the
inaietY of every one to see the entertainment of the
tvening.

“ The March, Highlanders, and Germans, and
likewise the 6th division, having got a trial In the
#orliter evening's amusement, the performance this
time was consigned to the 24th Regiment, small, but
a band of heroes ; the regiment mustering less than
300 menu At a little before 5 o'clock they were seen
knoVing in the trenches, and the ladders with them,
At a little after five the mine blew up, in a beautiful
styles tlearing the, whole wall most completely ; about
fifty or sixty of the enemy near it were seen running
bff to tl.e old breach-. Our brave fellows advanced
with a firth step; and Mounted, both Captain Coote,
of the 24th, With two other fine fellows of that dis.
tinguished corps, led, ascended, and on the top of
the breathes waved their hatianci encouraged the men.
—ln a moment after they were in, and a loud liuzza
of our men assured us of it; though all began then
tb be enveloped in smoke. The French poured down
men in every direction ; howeVer, the 24th, supported
by the Uturrds, 42d and 79th Regiments, and like-
wise by the sth and 6th divisions, continued to
advence. 'Fhe whole atmosphere; how dark, was
illuminated by the incessant flashes of the muskets,
and by the fire from our batteries, as well as that
of the enemy's, for every gun and Mortar of both
played.

" The Marquis of W214=1.43103 dispatchei will
tell you better than I can, the nuthber of killed and
wounded& By this business the brave little 24th have
gained immortal credit, and I hear, will have Burgos
on their colours. The brave Captain COOTE will be
immediately of course, promoted ; he is wounded, and
severely, as ate some other fine fellows. Captain
)&I'Dosatto, of the 11th, has lost one arts, and. Ca-
ptain M'DONALD, of the Stith, is badly Wounded.
After blowing up another wall, we can storm the
convent : when in possession of that, We can WV
their waters and the enemy mint abandon the castle.
After Elms heigho for Madrid. I pray that victory
tray insure our return quickly to Old England?
Other lettets inform us, that the enemy made a
sortie from the CaStle of Burgos on the afternoon of
the sth October, retook the wall which we had taken
from them on the former evening, and drove out
people quite out. However, our gallant fellows for.
reed, advanced to the two breathes, and again stor-
med both, drove out the Frenchmen with great slaugh-
ter, and remained in possession of the wall.
Captain WILLIAMSON, of the 42d, ye are concerned
to state, is dead of his wounds. He is sincerely re-
gretted by the army, as one of its most promising

ornaments. Sir S. Ccrrrois, 'Generals Cott
ALTEN, have so fdr recovered from their wounds as
to be able to join the army..
Marshal Battsronn and General Ltrrit boa. gone
to Cintra, for the benefit of the air, as they both had
agues. Lady AUGUSTA LEJT:I and Lady BERESFOItD
ate there, with many fashionables from Lislxin.

61 It aiSpearS by a Dispatch received this morning
from the Marquis of WELLINGTON, dated Villa Toro,

the Castle of Burgos, was exploded on the 29th ult.
but it was necessAl to improve by fire the breach
which had been Made by this explosion.
66 A second breach was made by the explosion of
another mine on the 4th. Both were now stormed
by the 2d battalion of the 24th, under Captain HED-
bEnwicx, and our troops established themselves
within the exterior line.

4, These operations were effected without suffering
any very severe loss.

The Lisbon Mail does not bringus any intelligence
from the present seat of the gallant Marquis of WEL-
LINGTON'S operations later than that which we have
received by the way of Corunna. General Hat was'
on the Ist inst. at Oropesa. He was at Talavera la
Reyna on the 21st September. The Lisbon Papers
contain some ettracts from Cadiz Gazettes, consist-
ing of details on the subject of the late 'movements
of the army of BALLASTEROS, whd had been doing
every thing in his power to harass Soon' in his re-
treat. The latter evacuated the famous city of Gra-
nada without a struggle, and BALLASTEROS immedi-
lately entered it. This event took place on the 17th
ISeptember. The loss of the French on their retreat
is described as immense. The three corps of SOULT,
SUCHET, and JOSEPH, formed a junction at Turuilla a
r few days afterwards.

The Coranna Diary of the 9th co'iniaini a dispatch
from ESPO9 and MINA, dated Puerite la Reyna, in
which he states having defeated General liaeg, who
on the 21st August had marched from Pamplona
with 2500 men, for the purpose of c ollecting
probi-
sions, with the loss of upwardi of 1000 men in killed,
wounded, and prisoners.

We are concerned to learn, from the letter's before
us, that, owing to General MAITLAND bavirig re-
mained shut up in Alicant with 22,000 men, little
could be done by all the other forces under HILL,
SEERRITT, COOKE, BALLA;TEROS, &C. even if the Mar-
quis of WELLINGTON had gone to command ; and the
result has been that the three corps of &mar, SU.
curr, and JOSEPH, effected a junction at Tomlin, a
few days after SouLT evacuated the city of Granada-

/.rcnri Sicily we learn that the New Parliament
was actively employed in digesting treasures of re-
form, and its proceedings gate high satisfaction.
The Palermo Gazette mentions a marauding expedi-
tion undertaken from the Coast of Barbary against the
small island of Santioco, adjoining Sardinia, in which
We are sorry to hear the pirates were successful, hav-
ing carried off the whole garrison and several of the
inhabitants as slates.
The contents of the following short letter, if cor.
Irect, are higblyihiporfant

" GOTTENBURGH, OCT. 10.
t is veil, Ztirrently reported, that General WITT;.
GENSTEIN has defeated General MACDONALD, and that
Gen. ToaltatoW is advancing towards Smolensk."

Our Private Letters from St. Petersburgh, and
which came from the most respectable authority,
are calculated to inspire us with the most ardent
hopes that the day of retribution for the grand In-
tendiary of Moscow, is at hand,

The calamity which has overtaken that once beau-
tiful collection of all that was grand and sublime in
architecture, was knowri at St: Petersburgh on the
22d; when our letters came away 4 No despondency,
no gloom pervaded the countenances of the inhabi-
tants—there were no brawlers for Peace—no Mur-
murers against their Generals or Government to be
heard. Private meetings were held by the Merchants
and by the enlightened classes of society, for the
purpose of respectfully requesting their Sovereign to
wake, known the worst; and to assure him of their

unalterable loyalty to his per.ton, and their deterni- '
nation to support him while a drop of blood re-
mained in their veins, or a rouble in their purses !
--Overwhelmed with the sensations which dins in-
cessantly vibrated in his ears, the mild and 'gen' er.dus
ALEXANDER burst into tears ill presence of his Mi-
nisters, and appealing to Heaving to second hii et.
forts to save his country, in a solemn tone assured
the Nobles around him that he had resolved to die
in the field, rather than enter into any negociation
with the execrable villain who now occupied the Pa-
lace of the Czars !—Loral CATHCART, the English
Ambassador, was instantly sent for. The Emperor
was of opinion, that a formal communication through,
the medium of a Minister would be a cold and life-
less mode of informing the representative of his mag-
nanimous and powerful ally of the effect which the
fall of Moscow had Upon his feelings.-44 Tell your
Master, (said the Emperor to Lord CATHCART) that
Moscow has fallen ; but my armies have not been
defeated. My people have been massacred ; but
every good Russian, in a few weeks, will be in arms
to avenge their loss. For my part, I shall put my-
self in person at their head : je suit atr cheval—je ne ja.
mast dercenderai mail comme vaingucur !.`•44 I am no* on
horseback—l shall never dismount unless victorious!'l
The strongest proof that despondency holds no
place in the hearts of the Russians at this moment
is, that the Exchange at St. Petettburgh remained
at 25. Their confidence in their Emperor, in his
Generals, and in their brave soldiers, Was great be- I,
yondexample; as was also their eagernets to learn *hat
further exertions were to be mude,and what new posi-
tions were to be taken up to distress the Invader. In
the direction of Riga, an operation upon a most for- I
midable plan has been concerted among the Russian
Generals, which is likely to annihilate the corps of
MACDONALD and ONDINOT (or rather ST. CYR) left
upon the Duna. Those who suppose the Russians
cannot act in winter, will be happy to hear, that the
very basis of this expedition is its alliance with thsr
bleak elements of November and December ! Gene.'
rah Lewis and STEINSIZILL, two approved Generals,
are to command on this service under the soperin-
tendance of General Vosi Essex, of whoM we have
already spoken in terms of panegyric. In this ser-
vice WITTGENSTEIN'S Victorious Heroes will also
participates The name of VON ESSEN naturally
brings to oar recollection, a piece of information
which we received a few days ago, but which we
omitted to mention, namely, that a General Officer
in the Prussian service has had repeated interviews
with the brave Governor of Riga. The French alai-
! liaries in Courland are all Prussians. May we not
hope, theN for their surrender on some amicable
I terms, to the fcrce opposed to theta froin Riga ?
We are at a loss to conceive what the Crown!
Prince of Sweden can mean by delaying the sailing
of the expedition, for of this painful circumstance
' the Gottenburgh Mails inform us. Surely the fairest
prospects open to Sweden in the event of her cor-
dially uniting in the common cause, and let Us still
hope that the ambition of the CROiVII PRINCE is truly'
honourable. Cpposed to the glorious and animating
spirit which pervades the Russians and Swe eel in
the North, and the Spanish and Portuguese in the
South, we nave to contemplate, 'Leith sentiments of
mixed pity and disgust, the state of Denmark. What
base, abject souls must those Sovereign's possess, who,
like the Kings of DENMARK and PRUSSIA, and sti
many others on the Continent, can desCend to be the
slaves of a slave of the Corsican Despot ! How
shameless in them, to demand loyalty and obe. ience
frofn subjects whom they have betrayed, and deli.
vered up to conscription and slaughter, in promoting
a scheme of universal subju:;ation to the bloodiest
tyranny which has ever existed 1

After this Paper had been at Press for soine tiiiii,
we learnt that other letters of the 22d tilt. had been
received in town from Petersburgh, stating that
TORMAZOW'S Army had advanced on the Moscow
road, near Smolensk # that% BONAPARTE HAD SENT
OFFERS OF PEACE TO MARSHAL KUTUSSW, ON ENTER.:
ING MOSCOWI WHICH THE MARSHAL INDIGNANTLY RE-
JECTED, and said, 46 The Russians were preparing
to advance."

It was said at Stockholm oh the 9th of Octbbet;
that the Emperor of RUSSIA had published a Procla-
mation, calling forth the exertions of all his subjects,
and declaring his determination to resist all overtures
from the enemy.

That the Frenth Coverntnent can fabricate Laws
and Decrees for special purposes, by antedating the
document-4 crime with which we charged them
when the pretended revocation of the Berlin and Mi.
lan Decrees was brought foil-and—is proved by a
fact within the cognizance of every individual:—
Pro format Decrees for calling out conscripts require
the Sitting of tße Senate. On the, rst of September
the Senate decreed the calling out of 120,000 con-
scripts—and on the fourth of September, t hat is on
the third day after the tittilig, NAPOLZON, who via% six
hundred leaguer distant, orders the Decrei to be put
in execution !

Akita twenty sail of hips tailed yesterday from
the Nore for the Baltic.
