Our warriors have ever found the Peninsula a soil fettile in victories. During the wa , s of the succession, our armies bled and conquered on those fields, which, after the revolu tion of an age, continue to witness Our triumphs. Yet, such are the changes which time produces, that we now contend for the restoration of that dynasty which we then oppuse‘l. The pi inciple on which we act, however, is the saint% Animated 1w the same Wowing love for freedom, we hare our sword in its defence in every age and every clime, and when our former enemies, crushed under the weight of op ession, call to us for assistance, we clasp them to Our ho• soon as ft send:, am: shield them with our valour as injured own and faithful allies. The advance of our experienced Commander into Spain, after Living wicnehed from the enemy the two keys of that kingdom on the side of Portugal, Ciudad Rodrigo and Ba dajoz, and de;troying all the intermediary posts through which he maintained a communication between his northern and southern armies, hits produced effects commensurate with the magnitude of the plan, and the superior nature of the genius by which it was formed. Its first consequences were the capture of Salamanca, with the forts and the large magazines it contained, the evacuation of Asturias Leon, the siege and probable sun ender of Astorga, and the memorable victor obtained over the concentoated French forces on the 2,c1 uI t. in the neighbourhood of Salamanca. The immediate results of this triumph must be the of the enemy towards Madrid, where he must make a second stand, and expose ()Misch to complete destrt.ction, .11 o rder to endeavour to keep a way open for the retreat of his nu merous but scattered divisions in the east and south. Should, as it is most probable, the Capital fall into our hands, either after or without a second battle, it will be in our power to penetrate to the .Mediterraneau side of the Peninsula, And,
