Wellesley, toPortugul, was not a powerful diver sion? he now are well iiifitrinerl, that if the English army had not errived in Portugal, Ju lia would have detached a force to strengthen the army of Dupont. Was not the consequence of this part or the conduct of His Nlajesty's ter% that Junto was obliged to reinaili with the whole of his force in Lisbon ? was certainly of considerable inspamance, oink the French force i i the south of Swain remained undefeated, that no acquisition should strengthen it from Portugal. lir contemning the merits ad:tiereist cousin: order, al luded te this night, it would be far limn in uuiaJ to draw any invidious distinction ; and with respect to that lamented officer who fell at Cretonne I know of mire more emiiient than he was ; he peculiarly possessed a disposition at all times to do his duty. With a view to the appointment of officers in Portugal, I will make 110 eulogy on our victories, or the bravery of our mem ; but I have only to observe, Sir Arthur Wellesley went to Portugal, and within thirteen clays lie heat the French forces, and obliged them to coorlicile am armistice. I do not router with what lets been urged by the Noble Lord concerning the change of °flit:rill which took place after Sir Arthur's arrival. Ile undoubtedly posseseed, although a junior 01A cer, all the merit which could recommend him; acid on a small scale I vin williiig to admit, there are many reasons to attend to such officers more than generally is the case. Boit when 40000 inns sere to lie confided to the commend of a ( ieaeral, it Might not he alto;,, ,, ether prinlent to have appal t de. I a joitnoro4l such au occasiou. It is a subject eltiree titer ulipleasant to discuss before Porliaineut, viii I have only to all, i do not particularly Liuw of any inconvenietiee resulting from a stir-vv.:o,in of otfiertri, taking the command. The diti..tenee I entertain from others on the numbri of cavalry which ought to have been transported sonar Cos country, dues tint. arise from the mourns at borne, but it ought to b•• recollected with respect to tram. sports, fur ten trot, in•tst he allowed fur every horse. therefore it requires as much tonnage to carry 3.000 cavalry, as it would require to convey 40,000 ifaistry. 11. sides one ship in font is not adapted for that mode of conveyance, and it ought also to be recollected that even is en ordinary transport of cavalry, not one half of them ran be applied. because nearly that noinlier are requisite to con vey every thing appendant to such a body. Again, I allow that the interior provinces of Spain ore cavalry countries, bet all those provinces towards the coast form that kind of country where cav a l r y are employed under the greatest disadvauta 4 es, and this was the country through which you had to go. Sir John Moors boned it necessary to do that which ought seldom or ever, if possible, to • happen ; he divided on his march his cavalry from • his infantry, because his infantry in those promitera were 'milder! to march a nearer way, where it was aportsible for them is he acco:npanied by the ca valry, because they would not have been furaished with the necessary supplies. In other expedilions, your Lordships - will find that it was thought ad vieeable to send few cavalry :. in that in Egypt, only 150 were sent. There never was an instance where so many as between it and norm Cavalry were sent, and nearly 8000 more were ready to be sent, if Sir David Baird had not preveimil it. by k 'inf o rming us of his retreat. In sending this soecier, oh' force, it can never be done, but gradually. I grant, that the force originally sent out with Sir Arthur Wellesley an, lint Cu the puri ore of going to Portia-al and then it ass not po ivy to send more, bust the inomerit Portireal beeinne the object of our attention, a proper and adequate force of cavalry was sent out immediately to that country. At any rate, Ido ten consider the want of cavalry could at all have excused the Armistice and Convention of Cintra. With respect to the Conemition. I think more favourable terms might have been hart. When in the first instimee we scut onr troops there, our wish was to reinstate the Prince Itegelit, and I do not know of any under taking more likely to farther the general cause.-- The Noble Lord has proposed Leonel plans which might hare been adopted in Spaiii aril Portuaal ; in Spain we might hare sent force. into • !dal's sir. Butt what would the A adahi.ians have sib', t, we have no righting here, yogi shoukl go iota the" meth, fa; w e have sent oar nail furies from home." Why, they would have direlited your sincerity in thr reuse. My Lords. I now come to the enns'deration of the general plan of the campaign in Splint; in commenting on which Ic• t hint observe, that the Noble Lord has wither overlooked souse eireum stances, or else he has lint stated theni tie thin can did manlier which is usual with bin. Not to men tires the delay which necessarily took place is the transporting the Spanish force hens the shores of Denmark, to their own emintre; it will be retail !feted that the Central Coverninelit of Spain, with whom aloes• all effectual arrangement for the pro motion of the common mute bould be made, rind which formed as it acre the groniid-work of what serer assivtancw we were to afford them, slid not take place till the Cslh of September. Thad fatty appears by reference to the corycepoodence of lord M illiam Bentinck, upon your Lordshito' table ; the further circumstances of delay will also op 'war from th a t correspondence, as the inevitable consequence of men newly elected into office, with whom we were to treat, as also the necessity of con certing the plan of our operations with General Cisstaime. who did not stove in Madrid till some time after. The Noble Lord has also omitted to state, that this plan was adopted in conformity to what was agreed on with General Castello., toge ther with General Romans, namely, that the Bri tish army should carry on its operntions es a dis tinct nod *emirate corps ; that Cornnna should be an putrefies for the purpose of introducing and af fording the necessary supplies, and that the British army should direct its march into Spain by laud. It is true that it was left to the option of Sir John Moore whether he would prosecute that march by lend, or emceed by sea to Cornnna, and he accord ingly preferred marching direct from Portugal. f do not, therefore, hesitate to maintein, that having succeeded, in the first instance, in driving the French out of Portugal, we ware bound, by every motive of policy and prudence, to attempt the mosistanee of Spam in her own territory, and that if that effort ham failed, it his been owing to circom stances which could neither have been foreseen nor prevented. It was impossible not to snppnee that its enemy, possessed of the vigour ais4 temnrces be I B r• .WrF7'w ---- s I , Wes known to d minutia, would hate soave part; I successes, or that the business could be iniccessfully terminated in one canyieigii; accordingly the principle adopted by the Sioiliards, and upon which they determined Elam concluding the oar, was that of keeping to their mountains, and avoid •gi I actions; and I know that (ion. Humana, tit the time he left this rotititry, ticiern.wed, from his knowledge of his c °war% mess, to follow this plan, till the arrival of the force in the cc try. I admit that, at the note Sir J.

Gemini's Hope Or Baird, suit lie judged it hoe for the latter to retrace Ills steps, and that he itittitelf 'Amnia retreat to Vigo. lu the iuterim, however, a change took place, which materially al tered the fare of 'affairs. General Hope joined him, and the resistaiite at Madrid lawns to show t self. • The General bud brought with bun a body if cavalry, and he himself possessed a competent oaiii of artillery, by which lie found himself at the rend of a corps complete iii all its points. My Lords, this brings sue to the qsiestion respecting Upon I Mr. Freer. this subjectcannot but think that the instructions *rut to 111:1) were by no means unusual. that the Nlilitiiry (;iimusaiiilcr should cor respond with the Minister, ui,d this tint as giving the Alintster say military authority or power of rfereuce %letterer.

I do relifema that, to this moment, 1 rensaiu of opi nion that the object .t Mr. Frew, in considering that the abandonment of the Spaniards, at such a time, would be highly injurious to the cause, was a •otind opioimi; lint if I so consider it, I am equally ready to admit, that the sending s Messenger to lie examined before a Council of War. was not the best mode of effecting his designs. But the real question is, Was Sir John Moore governed by the advire of Mr. Frcre or slot? Now, does not Sir John ~lotdre evitressly say us his letters, lie should not be goy s urd by Isis advice, if he were even pre sent, as it'svas a question purely military.
