The gad regiment, which came on 111107 C at
Portsmouth on Friday, embarked 460 men at Co-
runna ; their loss in the campaign is 15 officer* anal
540 men. Most of the regiments which nave been
landed seemed to have sustained a proportionate
loss. Their appearance excitor} the syroputlry and
commiseration of all who :raw them. The 7th
Onigoona debarked cm Saturday afternoon ; the
cavalry have saved very few of their horses ; it is
computed that upwards of 6000 died and were de-
stroyed. The 7th brought home 70 oat of 700.
Very little of the baggage of the army was saved.
There appears to be but one opinion among the
Officers upon the suilmject cl the campaign. Time
clithusiazan which the country win taught to be-
lieve, by the Ministerial writers, existed in Spain,
they treat as a mere delusion, and cannot under-
stand what Ministers mean by Spanish Patriots and
Spanish co-operatiou. With respect to the lout
which the army has ~ustaiued, they assert that it
has been under-rated by General Srrw ART ut 4500,
and think that Lord Gamsvtt.t.e did not over-rate
it at more than double that atuouut. Our readers
may remember the refusal of permission to Sir
Divot BAIILD to land at Carunna, nutil the Su-
preme Junta, then eating at Madrid, were con-
stilted, and the delay that then took place. .We
believe that as soon as that General did land, he
found that the dispnaition of the Spaniards was ex-
aggerated, and that he despaired of being able to
co-operate with an efficient Spanish force. We
may ask, then, upon what priaeiple could Ministers
expect that a British army could make a stand in
Spain against the whole military force of France?

The hurry and conlesion in embed: tag were such
at Cormina, that it was difficult for many of the
troops to find the transports that ware allotted far

they reached the shore. Part of differeut regiments,
as they came in, and those that could not tiud the
vessels ieteuded for them, were put on board any
ether that could receive them.—This was the case
with those in this brig, which was not fitted to
receive troops, but asset out with stores.
