Official infoimation has been received, that on the
15th instant, the French evacuated the city of Sena,
leaving theic sick and wounded in the hospitals.
SEPT. 22.—The intelligence we have from the An,
dalusias is of the 13th instant ; the enemy still iv.
mained at Jaen, Übeda, and Baza. On the 14th ins.
Marshal Marmont, General. Bonnet, and several Co.
lonels..left Burgas for France ; this was to have taken
place the day before, but was delayed in consequence
of the death of one f Marmont's Aid-de•C imps.
The successes in Castile are highly favourable to
the Allied Arms. The French shamefully fly at the
sight of any 01 our corps ; and the moment they per.
ceived we were pursuing them in earnest, abandoned
waggons, horses, knapsacks, rauske..s, and whataff
they carry.

wings, and it may be said, that the wime ot the Mar.

DISPATCHES FROM THE MARQUIS OF

WELLINGTON.

The Walsingham packet, Captain Bnuor.xi has
arrived at Falmouth, with Mails and Dispatches from
Corunna, five days passage. The dispatch were
brought to town by Mr. SYLVESTER, the Messenger,
who left head-quarters on the 28th Ult. at which tints
the Marquis of WELLINGT4Th Wds at Burgos. Th.
Allied Troops had made two unsuccessful attacks on
the Forts of the Castle, and the M trquis of WE.
LINGTON had prepared a mine to 'blow it up. It was
expected that the Fort, with part of the Castle, would
be blown up on the night Mr. S. came away. The
Garrison consists of 2000 men. The French army
were in the neighbourhood of 'Vittoria, and had btell
joined by 8000 conscripts from France. The Mar
quis of WELLINGTON was Waiting the arrival of the
Heavy Artillery. On the night the Messenger left
Burgos a very heavy explosion was heard, supposed
to be occasioned by the blowing up of the Fort. The
Allied Airny are said to have lost 800 men. sincehis
Lordship's last dispatches. No Packet was at Co.
runna when the Walsingham sailed. The Army W 3
in good health and spirits.
An Expedition, consisting of seven hundred Spa.
niards (part of Sir HOME Pommes) made a landing
at Santona, but finding the Garrison too stroog,
consisting of five thousand men, they re-einbarke4
since when Sir H. had been at Coluntrat takjii

The arrival of the Twentieth French Bulletin has
entirely extinguished the feeble hope 'that was still
therished by many, that the French had not actually
age possession of Moscow. But though this fact
tannot now be disputed, a dispassionate review of
'lithe circumstances, will be found to afford some
matter for exultation. We find the French them-
selves solemnly announcing to the world that Mos-
cow is no more ! ! The winter•quarters—the re-
pose.-the plenty—which the turbulent enemy of man-
kind promised to his train of butchers and assassins,
lure eluded his grasp, acrd the ruthless invader is now
rated in the Kremlin amid an ocean of flame ! or
other a dreary solitude, where all is ruin, havock,
&nation, and horror around him.

haVe dispatched g select body bo the southward) bY
the circuitous roots of KalOgst.
Thus may we fairly say, the trench slipped into
Moscow, and finding it script of its natural defence,
they more easily succeeded in establishing themselves
there. Even this, however, was not effected without
a sanguinary struggle. The main streets of Moscow
are secured by gates at each end ; so that a compa-
ratively small force was sufficient, at least for a time,
to prevent the enemy from spreading over the city.
The nobles, merchants, traders, and chief part of the
inhabitants. (according to the French account) had
withdrawn before the French troops arrived. A cer-
tain number of brave men appear to have been left,
' who resolutely defended themselves.

Two days after the occupation of the Kremlin by
the Barbarian, the spirit of the universal Russian na-
tion was roused from its slumbers. Like their bre-
thren in calamity in the Peninsula, the Russians have
now gone forth to meet the destroyer, with the
sword in one hand and the torch in the other. Like
them, let the Russians persevere in the struggle, and
the days of NAPOLEON will be tdo short to enable
him to boast of the conquest of that Empire.
The burning of Moscow was indeed a horrible
project," but who occasioned it ? The burning of
30,000 helpless wounded Russians was indeed an un-
paralleled act of barbarity, but who was the author
ofit ? Look stedfastly at that wretch who now op-
presses you, brave and gallant Russians-.-let the dying
groans of your miserable countrymen animate you to
deeds of vengeance in return. Rise as one man and
liberate Russia and the world from its mortal enemy.
—Go forth determined to conquer or die and, the
victory will be yours !
Let there be no regard paid to those military tac-
tics, which would subject large masses of troops for
hours to a distant and murderous cannonade, as in
the battle of Mojaisk. Come in,to the field with the
bayoriet.—the lance—the sabre—the pike—the pitch-
fork--the knife and the dagger I

Whether they or the French first began the con. I
flagration may be doubted. There was a cannonade i
on both sides ; and we may even suspect that the con.'
test was carried on during three successive days; for
the Bulletin says, " On the 14th the Russians set fire
" to the Exchange, &c. " On the 16th a violent wind
" arose, and three or four hundred ruffians set fire to
" the city in five hundred different places." If so large
a body of men could traverse the city for any such
purpose, it is evident that the invaders could not have
obtained at that time an undisputed possession of the
town. This part of the Bulletin contains one of those
insolent avowals of disregard for all acknowleged prin-
ciples of law, which ought never to pass without the
most-marked and indignant reprehension. The Rus-
sians had indisputably a right to destroy their own
property, in order to prevent its falling into the hands
of their enemies ; but for executing an order to that
effect given by a competent authority, the Bulletin
boasts that one hundred men were apprehended (as if
in the administration of a regular police), and shot.—
However the conflagration was produced, whether
wholly by one party, or in part by both, its effects
must have been awfully terrible; and many thousands
both of the assailants and defenders must have fallen
victims to each other's rage.
Upon a review of every circumstance connected
with the Russian campaign, there exists ao thinking
man who will not join us in asserting, that a rigid
adherence to his system will enable the Emperor
ALEXANDER to rise superior to the blows which he
has sustained. On the part of his people we see the
most ardent devotion to their sovereign and to their
country—the reverses they have sustained instead of
disheartening, have exasperated them to madness. If
we look to his Army, we find that it has retired un-
broken .and undismayed, and the conflagration
of Moscow accomplished, as it most probably.
was, by the inhabitants themselves, has placed
their invaders in a most perilous situation ; nay, we
might almost add, that they are at the mercy
of the enraged population by which' they are now

surrounded. KuTusory, reinforced by ROSTOYCIIIN,
is in the immediate neighbourhood of Moscow. The

victorious WITTGENSTEIN has by this time been joined
at Polotsk by 20,000 men from Finland ; and TOR.
MASS P's corps, together with the Moldavian army,

will form a body of 30,000 at Bialistnck, about half-
way between Warsaw and Wilna, in the rear of Bo-
NAPARTE.

It seems therefore next to impossible, if the French
armies were in a condition to advance, (which can

hardly be supposed) that they could venture to make
any movement agaipst St. Petersburg)). On the
contrary, with time such formidable armies, as it
were surrounding them, it appears exceedingly pro.
blematical, bow they are even to maintain themselves
at Moscow, and keep open the communications with
their rear throughout the winter.

CrAlltAL 2LECIIIO4

( 1 17 OF LONDON.
SIXTH . A, —SA . URDAY, OCT. 10.
At the close of tile poll this day the numbers were:
Combe - - - 4584 Atkins . - Sleiti
Curtis - - - 4096 Waithntan - 82:13
Shaw - - - 3665 Wood - - tO6B
Mr. Alderman COMBR thanked the Electors for
situation in which they had placed him on the .
and in which, he hoped they would continue him.
Sir W. CURTIS, Sir J. SHAW, and Mr. Alderman
ATKINS, severally made their bows, and, pointing -
the poll, retired.
Mr. WatTirmAtc, being received with loud aecl
mations, stepped forward to the front of the hustinF
and addressed the assembly. He said, the Wottl
Aldermen who hhad just retired, after pointing to
poll, pretended to consider the state of the poll ;
triumph to them ; but he assured them, they did
think so ; but, on the contrary, viewed it, and anti,
pated the consequences to which it was likely to lr
with aching hearts. Vor his own part, so far _
considering the state of the poll, even as it now stood,
—and should he not be honoured with another votr
as a triumphant victory gained by his opponent
when he looked rotund and saw that 2233 independent
Liverymen had polled, on the present occasion, '
him, a private individual, in spite of all the camp
influence employed against him, he could not regard
it as any thing short of a triumph to the cause of Ir
dependence !—To. use the language of a celebrar
Writer, he could compare it to nothing but ,6
convulsions of an expiring giant," making hiL
effort. In the present contest he saw the expiring
pangs of corruption. He looked back to the '
tions for the City of London doting-the last .50 y
and, notwithstanding the great increase of co:
influence within that period, from the enlarged
tary expenditure of the country, and from the
creased taxation, he was happy to assure them
never had corruption experienced so formidat
check as on the present occasion. The- number
Electors wt,:i had promised him their votes was
able to carry his election; if they would only come
early on Monday. lie should afford them the
portunity, and let them recollect that it was
own cause. Numbers who had promised him \
had retracted, on the ground that they dared ,
venture on doing so, under the penalty of disobliging
some of their best customers. He could nut object
to such excuses as this, he having no right to dicta*
to any man how he ought to act t this, however,
might be allowed to say, that, for 18 years, be
encountered every risk of this kind, and, as a
sary consquence, in the course of that period,
made many sacrifices for what he esteemed the publie
good. It Gentlemen, however, would not join
supporting their own causer how could they
him to do It for them ?
Mr. Alderman WOOD said, there wile still
5000 to 6000 of the Livery to poll, and be was
termined to persevere to the last.
