The fine horses of the Scots Greys art forthwith to

A letter from an Officer belonging to the torps of
Royal Artillery Drives', dated in the Vicinity of
Burgos, Sept. 17, saysv.—a The English Newspapers
make ua acquainted with many movements of our
army in this part of the globe, with which we were
before unacquainted. I wish most sincerely that We
could say as many fine things in praise of Spanish
patriotism and enthusiasm, as are bestowed on these
non-entities by the English press. But, alas
A sense of duty alone compels me to be silent on this
mortifying subject. It may, however, be allowed me
11 to assert, that if the Spanish maim had Made a proper
use of the energies and resources placed within her
command ; or had even cordially united and kept
pace with the sacrifices made by her too generous
Ally, the contest would long ago have been decided
in her favour. But such is the abject iglwrance of
the lower orders, and the jealous bigotry of their su-
' periors, that they have on- many occasions been mere
lookers on, as it totally indifferent to the issue of
events which affected their most vital interests.

In the poiht of disembarkation for the reinforce-
ments for the Peninsula, we have been charged with
an error in stating such to be Lisbon, now that tilt:
line of march is open from Corunna : we, however,
repeat our statement of the fact, and feel inclined to
admit its policy from the junction which has taken
place in Murcia between the Armies of S•th.T and

HARWICH, OCTOBER 14.

Arrived the Lord Duncan packet, with a Mail and
passengers, from Gottenburgh—no news from Rus-
sia ; was eight days on her passage. The home-
ward-bound convoy sailed 36 hours before the pac-
ket. Arrived also the Beaufoy packet, from Got.
tenhurgh ; she landed her Mail at Yarmouth. Sailed
the Lark packet, for Gottenburgh.
Oci•osra ll—Arrived the Diana packet, with a
Mail and passengers from Gottenburgh ; she brings
dispatches.

" It must, however, be allowed, that on many oc-
casions, on which their prejudices have been over-
come, and they have acted with our troops, they have
evinced a degree of steady courage worthy of their
tatise ; but their co-operation and exertions have been
hitherto on so small a scale, compared with what
they ought to be, that they have only served to con-
vince us what might be effected, if their energies were
properly called forth. In one of the papers I per-
cewe it stated, that the inhabitants of Madrid had
consented to accommodate our Commander with the
loan of two millions of dollars! We are quite igno-
rant of this ; and I think I can venture to affirm,
that not a single dollar has been received, except
from our' own country. We every where receive
abundance of professions, and are treated with great
apparent respect and attention ; but, in full nine cases
out of ten, we are compelled to pay for evert article
required for our use or comfort, equally the same as if
we were in our own country, and contending solely
in our own cause. -
" As our division has been in the rear of the army
since we quitted Madrid, I cannot with any accu-
racy detail the operations that have taken place.—
We are making preparations to invest the castle of
Burgos, which i. very strong, and is said to have a
Samson of acarly 3000 Then Our advance has had
a sharp brush with the enemy, and f,.c taken a great
number of prisoners. The enemy have been dnven
from all their positions except the castle and its out-
works, and are stated to be retreating with great ra-
pidity towards the northern frontier, where they are
said to have reinforcements wailing to jo.n them. If
so, we expect another general action, should our ar-
my continue to advance ; but on this head all is mere
matter of speculation.
" With tl,e plans and intentions of our General we
are, of course, unacquainted. These are known only
to himself and a confidential few attached to his Staff.
The opinion of myself and other Officers Kith whom
I have conversed, is, that after making ourselves
masters of this important place and its out-works, we
shall retrograde with the main army to more com-
modious quarters for the winter. We have had some
very heavy rains, and the roads in many places are
nearly impassable, which renders the transport of
heavy bagglge nearly impracticable ; and, without
these,nomperatioif of magnitude can be undertaken.
Our ?troy, as far as my_own observation extends, is
tolerably healthy ; but we have lost a number of men
and several valuable Officers since we quitted Ma-
drid, through excessive fatigue. Our b-ave fellows
bear every thing o kit cheerfulness, and undergo the
most fatiguing toils in marching through the execra-
ble roads of this country, without repining, because
.they see their Officers share alike with them in every

difficulty and privation."
