If after this our Rulers obstinately persevere in continuing the war, for the management of which they are wholly unfit, the blood and the consequences of which must rest on . their own heads. 44 Thirdly, this 'shocking disgrace to our arms proves how rash and heedless, and impolitic was the conduct of the Pres i dent, in harrying us into a war before we were reputed, before our armies were raised—our military stores providA, and our men properly disciplined. " General Hull is a gallant and excellent Oitcer, not of yesterday. His surrender, tlwugh dreadfully disgracc'ul to the nation, eanncr. b. attributed, we are fairly persuaded, to him. The fault is in those who, unprovided, hurried him tn..) this expedition, with a force incompetent to effect his object ; a thou sand en ors may be pointed out in the management of this affair, all of which fall upon the President and the Council, but we shall only Lotice one fatal and obvious one—Upper Canada lies nearly 1009 miles along our frontier ;it is thinly peopled. If Canada must be invaded—if it was necessary' to squander lives and money to distress innocent and defenceless people, when no object of the war cruld he promotedl by it, the attack aught to have heat made at Niagara ' and Montreal, at the same time when Hull entered Detroit. Brvck's force and attention would havekeen divided, and fortibly, we etaapbaueally say/ion/4 1 itbe project would have succeeded. 44 It will be no exciise to "say, that Dearborn cora,' not de got ready. I:is situation is known at Washington in four days, iind might be commun;cated in five more to Hull, who ought not to have entered Canada till Dearborn was ready. Had Block been defeated, he would have had the consola&ion of having modestly anticipated it in his Proclamation—a consolation which Hull must have greatly wanted. This boast ing spirit is the general spirit of our country." MINISTRY OF WAR.-ARMY OF THE CENTRE OF SPAIN. The details ctonmunicated in the subjoined Report, shew with what crder his Catholic Majesty caused the orders to be executed which prepared the junc tion of the Army of the Centre, which was pecu. liarly under his orders, with that commanded by his Excellency the Marshal Duke of Albufer.i. Report addressed to Marshal Jotirdan, Chief of the Staff, Ma jor-General of his Catholic Majesty, by the General of Divi sion 'lreland, dated Albacett August 22, I St; and trans mitted by order of his Catholi c to the Duke de Feltre, Minister at War. i The continual marches which my division has made, since the action which it had on the 11 th in stant, with the advanced guard of the English army, have prevented me from sooner addressing to your Excellency the Report Which I have now the honour to prepnt. On the 10th, at one in the morning, •I received orders'at Naval Carnero, to march with my division, and occupy the villages of Majalahonda and Las Rosas, for the purpose of learning by reconnoissances, whether the corps of the English army, coming from Segovia, had passed the Guadaram*. The Italian divisiOn, commanded by General Palomhini, occu pied in my rear the village of Boadilla ; and the head quarters of his Catholic Majesty were t Al. sorcqe. On the llth, before day-break, I ordered t:ie Ist brigade of my division, composed' of thef3th and 18th dragoons, which occupied Las Rosas, to clear . the roads of Galapagar, Torre La Done:, and Col , menar, on which it teli in with the advanced-guard of the army of Lord Wellington consisting of threi battalions of infantry, with five feces (f artillery,' and 1200 horse, which descended the mountains. This brigade supported .with firmness the attack of the enemy's advanced guapl ; I ordexed it to incline upon the second brigade, conformably to the orders which I had received, to retire upon the division Pa- Jombini, should I be attacked by a su p er i or f orce .— I'l at General, whom I i n f or M e d of my ' movement, !sent me immediately a reinforcement composed of the dragoons Napoleon, and some lauciers ; 1 then 1 __ am igoon.s, and the regiment of, goons Napoleon, which formed my reserve, aten head charged General Schiasetti,Colorals Roma Maranessi, and Captain Pitard. This charge, , vigorous as seasonable, had complete success, a the enemy retired in the greatest disorder. Besides three pieces of artillery, carried by deli brigade, and which the 2d prevented from beep el taken, a quantity of baggage, Fnd more than tvi hundred horses fell into our power ; two Lieutenant Colonels wounded, with about 60 prisoners, sane brought to head-quarters. ' I A superior officer and more than 160 Eriglish ad Portuguese remained stretched on the field ; in short, the loss of the enemy in kilted, prisoners, and dim bled, may be estimated at 7or 800 men. I do at all doubt that this fine affair powerfully eon ' buted to retard the enemy's march, and to secure tratquilitty of our own. This affair of cavalry was one of the finest and to extraordinary that has taken place, from the des rate valour which was displayed on both sides: A the regiments of my division emulated ia:h ether i zeal and intrepidity.
