On the 21st he did all that he could to prevail upon Sir Marry Burrard to allow the army to follow up the advautages it had gained. As to the armistice which he had approved of, it by na means Elliott ed, that that which would not have been right on the morning of the 21st might not he right on the even ing of the 2.2 d. On the 21st the enemy were in the utmost con fusion. On the .c2.2d they were no longer in that state. The Situation of the French army had hero much improved in cottse quence of the British army not haAng followed up its advan tages.

Burrard then read front a paper a short summary of the reasoos which•induccd him not to follow up the advantages of the 21st. The extosnive line of the British was against an adiantc.—the army had Leen long enraged, and under' arms an !four befor e day light—the me my had a great advantage in point of *capnen and cavalry. He nes well aware that his determina- Oon - eoold not be agreeable to a British army which had so nobly signalized itself; but he thought that determination the !best under all the circumstances. He acted to the best of his Judgment. lie particularly regretted the want of those Gentle men who were with him on the 21st, and adverted to the un pretlicament in which he stood front that circumstance.

The eeneral principle of the ardaissice was agreed to by all the other Woven:tut-Gene tails, and he made it sdhservient to the purpose of landing in safety the whole of sir John aloore's army.

What remained would be matters of arrangement, and of private ieusidetat inn for the Board. The Public are, therefore, no more to be admitted. TUESDAY'S LO LION GAZETTE. PARTNERS/111'S IMSOLVED.
