But they were nit AV tier from their landing in the country, as they consented to my landing at Vigo, if I hound it convenient, it heing the only port that could afford protection to our transport:, on the west coast of the Peninsula, except the Tagus. I also .understood that the Junta of Seville had up gavot desire that General Spencer's corps should co-op e rate with General Castaltos', elthough they were desirous they should laud at Fort St. Mary's, and eventually cover the retreat of Castanos, its tame he should hare been defeated by I)upotit.

The examination of Sir Arthnr Wellesley closed hew. Captain Ma%coke, of the Royal Navy, was then called. and interrogated as follows : Qnestion--Capt. Maleolm, were you not em ployed in assisting Sir Arthur Weliesley in the Landing of nil force on the coast of Portugal ? Answer —1 was, the whole of the time. Question—What were the difficiilties in landing the troops from the Tagus to Oporto ? Answer—There was always a great difficulty in laniling ma the coast in these months, owing to a swell, which causes a oonsideridde sod upon the beach. At Mosier' there is a river; at the niouth of winch there is a bar which causes considerable surf. Duriog the time I was at it, there were only four or live days that common boats could pass without danger ; but at 51e.vtlego they 4 ot a sup ply of large boats and schoenen", particularly adapted to that ceawt, which facilitated very much the lundiag of the troops. There was no other place where boats of the country could lie tirsiesereil, except at hlareire. I never was there, hot I understood they might he procured ; I believe idiot there were boats to lie procureil Pt-oldie, ant Chet the landing was pretty good ; I had seen boats there in the pousesahon f the enemy. They experienced great difficulties an I dancers during the time they were employed at Mondcgo; many of the boats were swamped. tinirstiou--Could the hosts at Slondego have been brought to the Saudi. so a 4 to be use ? An:over—No ; they could not land upon un open beach. Question-..

Answer—The boats in landing at Maceint were constantly tilled with water froin the surf ; I sup pose there were about tweety etitirely lost, and six or seven men drowned. The day before I left Mueeira, the 30th of August, I could only find thirty or forty boat. fit for service, ultliough the curpeistors had been constantly employed sit re pairime them. Sir A term; We LT.Eil.ter then °beetled, that he. hail ether questions to put to Captain Md.:ohn e but they would crone in better in the subsequent of the Court. Toe ('oust acquiesced, and Captain Malcolm withdrew. Sir WAY DALRYMPLE thvii rose, and reed written statiegethat he consineto rid from the 3.1 of August, the time he recrived the official letter of Lord Castlereagh, leGibrdtar, appointiog him Commander-id-L*4f of the Army. T h e vessel that brought out his official appointineum, a, Commtiailenin-Chiel, also brought dispatches to Lord Colliugwood, directing !inn to appoint R dilit.• • able 'freed to be at his commend ; Lord Collin. wood appointed the Note frigate. He embarked on hoard of her. His eistructions were to take coiansand of that part of the ariny a thought would be most adiantasecous, and at ell events be must curd the French out of Spain. He hegged leave to remark here, that the eters, expel, autho rised him to do by any It Oreu eaten:Red the Cortecution.—Lord.Gillialyeeeldt fanned him of the defeat ot Ureteral silittpcsot. and all apprehension of Janet *owing. tows-dr' Serilie was dune away. He also fitsavet evacuation of Madrid, by Joseph BOtnipiitte, gut any force on the part of the Fspataa l which made Lim believe that the wholelititie army could act most beneficially in Portugal.— Lord Collingwood had also inforined him, that Sir Arthur Wellesley had disembarked his troops' at Illondego Buy ; he felt that Sir Arthur Wellesley would have to contend with the whole ofthe French force ; he went to the Tagus, and saw Sir Charles Cotton, who had a very imperfect account of 641 number and situation of the enemy, he haviug stated them only at 9,000. and they scattered. Sir Arthur Wellesley seemed to Le engaged in an en- 4 , terprize of his own f slannine, and he did not think it would he right for him to take :he responsibility of ' it. or that he should snatch the laurels that Sir 1 Arthur was likely to gain; particularly so, as lie had received a private letter trout Lord Castle leagh, which he had kindly allowed hita to sunke fiuldie, expressing the confidence that Miuisters hail in Sir Arthur's, bravery and talents ns Coin tnander, sad recoinnaeuding to him, Sir Hew, ems all «elisions, to consnit with him, as he having been on t h e spot in England, was in full posses- . Nino of the sentiments of Xlinisters respecting Por tugal ; from these eircurashmees he sew the fair ness and expediency of not interfering with Sir Arthur Wellesley. He heard a report from sonic fishing-boats, of an action haviug taken pla.:p on -. the 17th, which was much eaaggenseeJ iis &roar of the British troops. On the 41st, he sent his Aid de-Camp on shore, to learn the particulars, with orders, if he saw Sir Arthur I‘'ellesiley, to inform him of his determination not to interfere is his command. His Aid-decamp returned in the evening, with an aecouat of Sir Arthur hey's victory, on that day, ern. the French, amid that General Sir Harry Barran' had strived and had taken command of the arms. This put all delicacy made, and he leaded on the morning of the 124. without any iuforinatiou relative to the couditiou of the British army, or the situation of the French, or the dipsosition of the Portuguese towards our None. The army was encamped on the ground which they maintained the day before ; the slain Were doing on the field unburied, and the wounded hail nut been embarked. The first order he gave was for the army to hold itself in readiness to march ; he conferred with Sir Harry Outland and Sir Arthur Wellesley. lie Legged here to remark, that, uith respect to what many Officers had been led to think, lie meant that the following up the enemy, on the elst, would be attended widi advantage, he leul nothing to do with it ; hat trots the great advantage the enemy pos sessed in their cavalry. compared to ours, cousisting of a small number, badly mounted and equipped, it seemed to him that 1111 great advantage could have been derived, and that the contrary might have been the result. At half-past one o'cleek there was sit alarm in the ramp, that the enemy wits advancime. He, Sir Hew, with time advice of the genend officers, mule every disposition to meet them. It turned out to he General Keller man. with a Rae of truce, escorted by a arcel of cavalry. On °mend Ke 'enteetil, arrival, lie culled Sir Harry Burrard and Sir Arthur Wellesley, as he knew glothiug at the time of the local sittiatiop of the emirs, nod he was obliged i• form his opis num ifesou 'Parretti that they took sit the discus sion. llr confessed that Ire agreed the armistice should be longer thee Sir Arthur Wellesley wished, and he did it apparently at the suggestion or General Kellerman ; but it was because he wanted to etre an opportunity to Sir John Moore, to laid lids troops. Although he formed his' opining from the knowledge and opinions of Sir I tarry !torrent and Sir Arthur Wellesley, yet he ill not wish to much any responsibility to them, for the maim respite:44l4y. from the mo ment he mounted the command, he took on him self. The argumett or threat weed by Kellerman. although it had oo influence upon hi. mind, might have been carried into execution; which was, that the Ituuisits should land from their ships, and make common cause with the Fiend,. which would odd 5000 men, net amount since proved far emitter than their real number. Altlimieli the Conven tion had raised such a cry of telinnny atritinst it amongst the people of England, and of Partisgel, there was not eu article in it that ddereel. from the Conveetienet of Malts and Alesandiie, which were received with shouts of applause in this cosi:err ; .Le thonght then, sail wit now convinced, that tine removal .r the French by treaty was the best possi ble meek, as their es/lenity was so far salience; to urs ; the want of artillery-, betides, would name oF-ti;:-1 prevented the 14160 1 nu thing homes them act sifter the hon. sir iwurti . forth than turnint; it quit 2:td he ene of Genres! bution not twit., gave bias ▪ N , afterw.u.ds isd.riee, Le not tint* in the against turned article reived pal iieltt Sir Arthur Sir Arthur sent by lonel On the convened Lord of, and Wellesley were 'the 3utb. he_returned kerne pert?, uj whieji.hiictniL lire approhrtiont .hfiCtilrZesere' Alice.

" Hereto I,egged leave to ob , evve, that while our army had to contend with the elements for prorishm, ae ought not to thinit a Convention that gained every thing should be calumniate.!. 'I he expulsion cf isnot was only a secondary consideration. Tie grand object was the means it gave us of assistin; the Spuniards witb facility, which would make them have a confidence in ae, and think that be are warm its their cause, effects which the ii•nlrequences of a' long siege would have pre trented. .The clause respecting peoperty, in tie Cenveittiors, was the saine wool in all treaties: 'bat •he admitted that there were some trifling things iu the. Convention, which he did uot &f end. Ile had received a letter from Lord WJliam Betititick. alto, from Ins nitration in Spain, mast know the opinion of tke Spanianls on the Measure, declaring that it met with their hiehest approbation. As to the hoisting of the Eng lish colours, inetrrd of the Portuguese, on the ee trance of the British into Listen, be declared it was entirely without his knowledge; and when he heard of it, he ordered the Portuguese to he hoist ed. Ile received a letter from His Nlajesty's Mi nisters, after the Couvention. desiring him to to t as he thought proper. and most advantagetras to the Portuguese ; and in sasses where. they c 004.1 not be consulted, for him to take the teener'. sibility on himself, amid they would boar hi:a out In it. He begged leave to inquire, if he had root, under these circumstances, a right to suppere that His Illaesty's Illinisters approved of the Criu 'motion ? He sent Lord Probe sod General Beres. ford to Lisbon to prevent the Plunder of the French from being embarked. Was it ever supposed ti' the Convention, that the ['tench were to be unwired to carry away what did net belong to them Without laying any stress upon General little,- man's threat. that Lisboa should be destroyed. the French certainly stied bare pluudered it, sir! left a part of their force to defend it, while the (I - niainder made good their retreat with the plitariei. However dissatisfied the Portugio se might le o, been at tied a ith the Conventiou, whea they POW wingt a great number of French were emliarked. and of what a quassitity of plunder they had been strippe.l. they were grateful. and rejosicetl tluit it had taken place. Ile told General Kellermen, in Ein,1 , ..1) (first asking hint whether he uuderstood it? who h he acknowledged) that if any person belonging to the Freoch isrmv, from the Commander-in-Civel; downward, was discovered to dare to take away a3y ploortv, he or they should be considered es pi I somers oP war.
