It is impossible to iniagiue that. The veyy •systcm of the French, by which they have ion more battles than by any other means, is this jolan of renewed attack upon . .one point ; and they blivaes have the opportuni4;of that, when their enemy fights on a system of Waiting for the attack. -.4itetiewed attacks, therefore, With still more strongly increased advantage of numbers would have been Masszsa's course, bad be not found an opporttigity (which, no 'doubt, he sought) to prefer another. On this plan, Inuit have carried the post at last, and then follows the neces. sity of retreating with disridtantage, or fighting with your posts turned, and tin-whole advantage of the position lost. To illustratolurther this leading idea of our feeling respecting my Lord;' WELLING. votes system of the campaign, we have only to ob serve, that the victory of the ./7th was as complete as valour and skill (as applied to that single point) could render it. Lord Weraaacerote gains a victory overhis enemy, in a partial action, and he can kill no more, nor take more prisoners, without he moves out of his position to pursue, and that he could not do because of the superior force of the enemy. Of what use can such a victory be ? To stop the enemy for a day or two ? That will never be proposed as a alluded object for such sacrifices as we are mak. kg., Of no use, as to the general, the ultimate rc. Wei can sueh A victory be. You have repulsed your enemy with the brightest glory to yourselves. But he is left, with still superior force, unmolested (for you .are not to perste him) to come on again svit4 ettw•f4rie‘ttad'to .4o:wahine new movements for thit purpose, if necessary.

We have inserted a letter from an Fnglish Co. tholic at Bath, which we think it our duty to do in farness to the party requiring it, and also to put the Irish Catholics on their guard against machine. tions to carry any thing in the shape, .or to the effect, of a Veto. As to the objection made by some in Ireland to the introducing of this question at all, namely, that it is meant by the enemies of the' RE PEAL to divert the Irish mind from that question, surely that is to hate a very ill opinion of the un. • derstanding,or patriotism, of the Irish Nation. The Irish Catholics arc not called upon to make any movement that may divert the attention of them. selves, or their Protestant Brethren, from the first - great remedy of the complicated evils of luscarin, the REPBAL or the too—they are merely eau domed against the intrigues of corrupt or ill. idvised men of their own Church.
