PUE.I; (I' 114.- (M6A, pOtilblANDEtt IN GillEl , OF THE AIiSIY OB 1 1 0ItTIMAL. Salamanca, May 17. Almeida was invested on the 7th . of Aptil. In conslttence of the orders I had previously received from the 'Prince of Neufchatel and the Duke.of Is tria, I had prepared mines td blow up the fortifica tions. I continued this operation after the place was invested ; and before the end of April ,there were 140 cavities ready to be charged. I thought that the .iriny, after having rested some deys, would to :kea movetnent upon Almeida ; everything was ready to send awa) the artillery and ammunition. During this period the cavities mould have been trged, and btit few days would have been neces sary to have finished every thing. I did not expect the movement of the army till from the lath to ihe 15th of this monih ; and in order to afford me time to wait till then, I had estAblitdied an extremely ri gorous economy, which I superintended . mySelt with the. 'greatest severity : by these means I calcu lated I should have sutficient.provisions till the `4sth, and I was resolved myself to prolong it, by one means or ',mother, till the Ist of June. The day after my being inveited, I-was closely prstfd.. at all poi , its in a severe manner ; every d3y the sharpshontos fired upon my cattle, ahr.l' forced it into the garrison—l then determined to salt part of it. Persuaded that the enemy could not have brought with line besieging artillery, 1 thought that, know ing the weakness of toy garrison u he might attempt some coup de main. • In concert therefore with the Commandants of the engineers, and artillery, adOpted.all possible dispositions to repulse him ; all' the flanks of the bastions were strengthened by can non loaded with grate-shot;. hatchets and axes were - placed upon each bastion; /metre (large but lets). were ranged .along the parapet ; loaded howit zers and grenades were placed within reach, as well as red-hot balls, and torches to light the ditches : 1 made the troops repeat their marneuvres, in order to make them acquainted with the point of alarm night and day: On thek . 4 sth-I was summoned to-'surrender by Major« General Campbell, who•observed - to me, t hat the, circumstances-of the campaign deprived .rte of all hope of being succoured; tat the weakness of my garrisoo deprived me-of all means of defending myself., -1 replied verbally, thai it he thought my garrison too weak, he had only to tly to take it, and iliac I had no miler anewor to make. On the 17th Lord Wellington demanded an i tertiew , which I thought it. my duty to refuse, . • I made a sortie on the vim in- the nThrnino• I chow, a,vay the English posts, we killed,isinne,: and in .de tour prisouers: .made another sortie upon the.. Portuguese posts, -and made threeTrisoners, hut I ne.er made the al tack on the side by which ' , I sal lied out of the. garrison.; • - ' • 'Ott the 34 of May I heard a. cannonading and, firing, wnieh announced to me the approarh of the army, :WI the fifth, I thought there was serious. and every moment I expected a communica two. On the 7th, I received •orders from the Prince of Essling, by -soldier of the 61 . 11 light infantry, to blow up the Neter, and "ireire with the garrison upon Barba de I'uerco. I immethately ordered the eavt. :ties to be leaded, and the artillery to be clestroyiN ; 'we employed for this latter-objed the means we bad before tried upon an unserviceable cannon, viz. to 'tletchitrge cannon into the mouths of the pieces; by these means we destroyed cannon, howitzers, and 'rumens.- The cat tridges were tlitowu inio.a u ell,- and into the ditches, at the toot of the walls that were to be blown up—rite balls were also thrown into the.ditehes to be buried, acid carriages were in pact sawed, and the others placed oil the parapets that were undermined ; in short, I believe that no precautions to render unsen , iceabte all that might be useful to the enemy were 'omitted. And ht;re I ought to return thanks to the talents and aitivity.of 'the Officers of artillery and engineers. •! On the nth, all tees cavities w e re charged, but the works for the deatruCtion of the artillery were not tinished,'and I stayed ono day :more in .order to leave nothing to regret. , . • tile- morning of the toth, I assemble& the principal OrtiCers. of the.garrison—l read to'them the orderaof the hince of Essling--4 did not • con ceal that our expeditiutewas full of . dtfficulty ana danger--o hat once out of the garrison, the . fire get to it, we shook) .find tierselves obliged to cut our way , throogit to rejoin the army, in the rnicise'of obstacles of all kinds, Ur to tall with honour ; that 'this 'place once,destroyect, the intentions at his Majesty would be perfectly fulfilled—that that single' ebject ought to animate-us—that we were Frenchmen, and ought to prove to the universe that we were worthy of . being so—that if our expedition succeeded, it would cover us with glory, Whatever the oiled might he to us personally ; all teetified the .most courageous de votioo. I then informed them of the clispositious I harldeterurined upou, as well as the manner in which kreckoned lupun 4caching the enemy's posts, and I sheaved them the roue I meant to take... And wishing to march in twocolurims to have less depth, and to overthrow a'larger frprit,of the enemy, which • gave n beyond their line moio latitude for iby , trioerirentte I gave them . all .the necessary instruc tor the niarch of the two columns.; and as a l.ii..;l,.l,atitiOtAticed., that the .left column should be the celorno of direction; the two elite couvuics of the bill battalion of the atid regiment were to march. at thes,head of the left Column, composed of the said t eete e ee , tv elver 'the...passage for the calumn.that fellovveel, them, The two companies of cannoniers marched at the herid of the right-hand column. for Ole sarnuplapeseq, , This column, commanded .by time Chief of the .aittalion of Engineers, Thruiller, W 44 corlipnecl rot ditfeteut t detaclune.sts of 'the 6th I ;001. : Eoleeores, The,seppers were to remain m the tom); part to set , fire to the train, another part to !tinder the iu habitants from deranging our operations,. ajni to protea!:the sortie of all—they were. alter wards to iorm:, the rear- nao.lee-they -were. come manned by, the.

Atter having agreed with all the Officers abopt the . ordiminary details 41 our operations, I went,. as usual, to walk about the . .town and ramparts. I con versed with all the soldiers ; I kt as enabled,. by ran air of secui ity and cOntitience, to retnwe from their minds all dobibt or:uneasiness upon the result of our operations ; and I saw every body . of confidethe, and even enthusias m .. A t night-fall made all the g irtison take aims to prevent . any 9ne from being absent,.and to be 'ready as sum as all the ilispositions sere completed, for we worked to the moment of citr departure. 'At ten o'clock, ail being. ready, I sent °niers to all i the advanced p of the Half Moon and covered ways, n cone in the greatest silence within the barrier whence we .were to-de part. At the moment of beginning the movement, I gave, as a watchword, Buonavorte, and Bayard, and we all set oil' pnder the auspices 'of glory and honour. I went but'the list. I then r sent orders to the Chief of Battalion Morlet, to place the fire in the boxes. It lisid been agreed upon that this single order should suffice; because it was to be a private signal, as ,soon aw he.had the certainty that the light" ed matches were placed, in older that the fire should be set to the powder at the same, time. Every thing was perfe6lly 'well otecuted. My: two, heads .ot columns began to be etigageo with the enemy's posts at the very monient of .the explosion, All were penet6ted, and .1 continued my route rankly, always harassed on my rear and fiankj as t had foreseen, The baggage was' pillagecl„ ...I would not have any guide, occause he corild only shew enc the ways which l would,not t and because he cedld only infuse uncertainty into my MO , erritllt3 : not be tog able to find out by iii ht the dia l crent points 01 dire6tioo which I had lung stddied by day, the moon served .

TO THE fiDITOR. .. &a, AccOrdinOo my promise, I send the follow. ing, statement, and request its insertion' in your Paper, . . It is well known I wai Counsel for Col., Wardle', in his prosecution against Mts. Clarke and others, for conspiracy, and, though . I . had n o t t h e h onour of that' Gentleman's acquaintance previously, I neces. sarily had rimy communications with him, in which, as it was my duty, .1 freely, and with Out reserve, stated in confidenceeyery thing I knew tending to ass ;:it cause; and among other matters mentioned de2lai tion* often and openly made to myself and others as to the expeatations entertained by M r . S t ok es, i n consequence 'of wh a t he called " his efforts towards the tesioration to power' of his Royal Highness the Duke of York." • Communications Alms made, I did not . expeO Colonei Wardle'would repeat wilhout - my permis sion. I was therefore u rpr ise d to find it reported in 3 Dilly 'Paper, as part of Iris .speech , on a late de. casion, that I had told him, " Mr. Stokes had, at my table, made assertions contrary to. his nath."....i. Much more was I surprised shortly after, at re• ceiving a letter from Stokes, ea:ling, peremptorily on me to declare whether I had so said to Colonel Wardle of not ? This I conceived,,Siokes had no right to deMand, at 'coin it seemed to me he suouid. first have a , ceriained the fad, kind not placed telt. :woe on• mere report; I therefore declined answer ing Hs letter,, lest by any possibility I khou:d involve my client in difficulty, and determined to tat kill responsibility on myself, until further And more ac• curately in for me d With tirisafiew I called on,Colonel Wardle, feels ing myself 'milled to explanation tram him; and' here, much as I condemn his, indiscretion on'this occasion, it is but justice to him to state, that atedid not hesitate to gi4e every explanation in his p6.4aar, and I have nqw before me, a tater, in which lie says that.his speech , sas misrepreseoted, aid 111,-o ha did not use the expressions ascribed to him. Ilia letter states, " that .he had been iqiirmed uy a re speAdble charaeter, that I had dec4trett at a public dinner in the.: City, oho Stokes Lid made asscrdo n s, contrary to cie evidence he atierwards gave upon the trial." Now; as lan not in the tuba cat attend ing public dinner's or political meetings, this iolor !nation coutd• not have been gone correct ; and had 'Mr. Stokes taken the right cour,e, by prt:dettly ap elying tor 'explanation where alone he k.ould rt crive :it correctly, I might have bett spared - 4;10' painful nee, lastly or staring facts unpledsant all paid, to my client, Colonel Wardle, I ought further ,to say, ; that he assured me he did nut intend so make the declaration in the House witnout a previous corn municatiun wills site on the subject, but that the • suddenness of she occasion did, not allow hint to do . so. However, although he could say -no Inure, it was but a slender satistaaion to toe, when the mat 'ter had' been thus brought before the public, first by him, and afterwardi by the rude and wanton stale meat of Stokes. Thui situated, I feel n a duty to my own charatler explicitly to st a t e w h at I did say to Colonel Wardl e . - I told him, and I now repeat it, that before Mrs. ,Clarke's trial took . place, Stokes had often said to me and to others, without the least reserve and with apparent boast, that he expeeted high promotion . for his exertions towards restoring to power his Royal Highbess the Duke of York, and that lie had gone' so tar as to declare he would not be contbnt with any appointment for his set vices under the value of , ouol. a-year,. assigning; - as' his - reason, that if he took a place he most give up his business. HOW tar this was va l e I know nut; merely stale his assertions, 'ner'sliall I stop to Inquire Whether they are consistent with his evidence on the trtal.or not ; suffice it for' me to say, I am fully prepared by wit. nesses, whose truth and honour cannot be impeach., ed, to prove my assertions, and shall be ready to do it When called upon in any authorised way ; I there fore now leave it with the public to determine to whom the rude expressions made by Stokes apply' of " false and scandalous." In answering ths statements contained in Mr. Stokes': letters, I cannot 64 . erionl: t;-;:tt passage in . which he would iniinuatea that I sought assislaint ance front the unbecoming Motive of obtainitig bp. siness. This is, however, a bad Compliment to biro self ; but to such tingilterous assertion, the inde.. pendence of toy professional life fur n ishes, I hope, the best answer. • My acquaintance With I .'slr.
