We are obliged to omit a very interesting Miscellany, in conse quence of the length and importance of the Pulitical subjects that have reached us during the last week. THE NATIONAL REGISTER . . Lonbon, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1808. POLITIC4L EVENTS ON THE WEEK. We have the mortification to lay before our Readers the degrading Convention signed between JuNToT and our Commanders. We will not discuss a single article where all arc equally censurable. In going through the vast field of the possible, we cannot find an excuse, even a miseraflc palliation, for this ignominious transaction. Had the Com mander in Chief, instead of signing; this Convention, re turned home with a few thousands of our army, after hav ing lost the rest under the walls of Lisbon, in unsuccessful, but honourable efforts, to compel the French to an uncon ditional surrender, we would have thanked him for his confidence in British magnanimity and resources;--had he in the smoking ruins of that capital, torn from the plun derers their booty and their arms, and put them to the sword, as a peace-offering to the myriads of victims immo lated to their frenzy, crimes, and ambition, whilst we re gretted the action, we would have defended their conduct. Had they even, in violation of all the laws of nations, been guilty of the atrocity of disregarding the engagement they . had solemnly ma d e , and sacrihcing afterwards the whole of the French army, we would have received the account with less horror than we did the intelligence of this conven tion. But when we see an army of 3'2,000 men, conducted by Generals who had as great reputation as any in the ser vice, after half their number had gained a complete v ictory over the combined force of the enemy, in a pitched battle, reduced to sip a convention with the enemy, in which ese ry article is favourable to the latter, in which they are per mitted to carry ofd' their plu4der, their arms, their arid- ~g 604 • • I
