From the LONDON GAZEITEI:Oct.II..: e.
WAR DEPARTMENT.
Dunning-street, Oct• 17.
A Dispatch, of which the following is an, extract,
has been this morning received at Earl Bathurst's Of-
fee, addressed to his Lordship by General the Mar-
quis of Wellington, dated Villa Toro, Oct. 5, 18 l'2.
One of the mines which had been prepared under
the exterior li:te of the castle of Burgos, was ex-
ploded at midnight of the 291 h, and effected a breach
in true wall, which some of the party, destined to
attack it, were enabled to storm ; but owing to the
darkness of the night, the detachment who were to
support the advanced party, missed their way, and
the advance were driven off the breach again before
they could be effectually supported. The breach
effected by the mine was not of a description to be
stormed, except at the moment of the explosion,
and it was necessary to improve it by fire, before the
attempt could be repeated. But all our endeavours
to construct batteries in the best situation to fire up-
on the wall failed, inconsequence of the great su-
periority of the enemy's fire. In the mean time an-
other mine had been phced tinder the wall, which
was ready yesterday, and a fire was opened yester-
day morning from a battery constructed under corer
of the horawork.

The fire from this battery improved the broach
first made; and the explosion of the mine, at five
o'clock yesterday evening, effected a second breach.
Bath were immediately stormed by the Second bat-
talion of the 24th regiment, under the command of
Captain Hedderwick, which I had ordered iota the
trenches for that purpose; and our troops were es-
tablished within the exterior line of the works of
the castle of Burgos. The conduct of the 24th re-
giment was highly praiseworthy; and Captain lied.
derwick and Lieutenauts Holmes and Fraser, who
led the.two storming parties, particularly distin-
guished themselves. lam happy to add, the opera-
tion was effected without 'uttering a very severe loss.
The enemy are still upon the Ebro, and have not
made any attempt to interrupt our operations. It is
reported they have extended to their left as far as
Logout).
v last reports from the frontiers of Valencia
are of the 25th. It is stated that Joseph was at Al-
latallZa, with fifteen thousand men, to join Marshal
Soult, ►rho was ea his march through Mnrcia, from
Granada. My lam letter from Lieutenant-General
Maitland is of the `2lst ult. Lieutenant-General Sir
Rowland Hill 1., on the Tagu3, between Aranjuez
and Tole:10. _

By the last accounts I have of General Ballaste.
ros he wis at Glaccinta, but he has been octlercd to
Aleavalt. _ _

It is extraordinary, that the time at which the aft

to the accomplished Earl Rivers, who was murdered
by Richard the Third) was introduced, was at a pe.:!

almost into ignorance and barbarlsm. Anil it Is also

Into the spirit of it, still for a considerable time after I

The following Extract is..taken front the Trial of
Thomas Ilargy
Tilt the reign of Henry VI. it was not necessary
for the inhabitant of a county to hive a freehold
estate of 40s. a-year, in order to vote for the RP.
presentative of his county ; bnt the statute of that
King,passed in the year 1429, under pretence of pre-
venting disputes at elections, most unjustly deprived
a great part of the Commons of this nation of the
right •of consenting to those taxes, which, not-
withstanding they were compelled to pay, just as if
such right had not been taken from them.

" Till the reign of Queen Anne, it was not ne.
cessary for the inhabitants of a county to have tlOOl.
freehold or copvhold estate, its order to his being
elected the Representative of his county. But the
statute of that Queen, passed in the year 1710, un-
der pretence of the freedom of Parliament, excluded
all persons not possessed of such -property from
,our
representation, whatever be their principles, their
abilities, or their integrity.
" Till the reign of William HI. Parliaments were
of nu:IIT to he called once a grar, or oftener, if need
tvs. But the statute of that King, passed in the year
1691, under pretenCe of calling I hem more fre-
quently, enacted that they. would be holden once in
three Nears at file least.
" Till the reign of George I. Parliaments were,
therefore, of threw years duration. But the statute
of that King, passed in the year 1715, under pretence
of ' a restless faction.' then existing in the nation,
usurped a power of enacting, that ' Parliament.
should respectively have continuance for seven
years.'
" As for the supposed representation of the peo-
ple, which is called the Commons of England in
Parliament assembled,'-
-" The county of Cornwall contains in itself alone
the privilege of sending for(y-four Members to Par.
!lament, which is just one less in number than those
of the whole Lingdon of Scotland, containing up-
wards of three millions of people. Of these 41 Re-
' presentatives, two are elected by the freeholders of
the county, the rest Fit for 20- corporation towns, of
