-Igoatn—l shall make uo apology for the h-
berty I take iu addresaing you; on the contrary.
if wkat I have to lay to your charge be well found-
ed, I shall feel myself disgraced in leaving polluted
pap'er with your name. Ever since the news of
General Castanos' defeat, a ruaunur,has been cir-
culated, of such an alarming and degrading nature,
that there is not a person to be found who is willing
to give it the smallest degree of credit ; it is no-
thing leas thou—lke 'recoil of the Britids 7'rvops

from Stain.
, My Lord, you have, I doubt not, in perusiug
the puts of history, sometimes met with emits of
so atrocious and horrible a nature, that you have
shut the book in disbud, unvrilliug to believe that

such depravity has ever existed ; if you have done
tbiti,kt me entreat you again to open the bgok, and
paint out to me.. if possible. a more disgraceful.
more cowardly; or a more degrading action, tban this
base desertion of our gallant Ally. My Lord;
there are triunes of so black a dye, that the human

language dues not afford worth strong enough Lo
express our dete4tatiou of them. Of such it na-
ture, my Lord, is the action iu question ; but with

this difiereuce,that it exeeeris all others that haft

ever yet taken place. both in cowardice and fully.
My Lord. I have been iu the habit, fur many years.
of writing, under various signatures. fur the public
press; I have ever deemed it my duty to promote
the strongest spirit of loyalty and patriotism, to
rapport the established (;siverinuent, and to decry
tendency to discontent; bid now I have done;
ihare performed en act which will have more ef-
,t on the minds of the people than all the writings

have disgusted the strongest friends of Go-
vernment, and brought the Master you serve to

*ell now who so fallen ? My Lord, I address you
ilos the supposition that the measure has actually
taken mean, as SO the orders of recall...et.
If 9it John Moore has commenced his retreat. with
a view of returning home, without orders from the"'
Governiuent, you ought immediately to recall
What, my Lord, are the future pages of our hie-
tory to be disgraced with the relatioa_of a .Boning
army, of thirty-live thousand men,* actisig 'in a •
country enthusiastic in its favour, having dos-,
tardly 'deserted a gallant Ally, without daring'
even to face their enemy, thut leaving hint to the
ty raut's bitter vengeance ? Gracious God ! to what
disgrace is this unhappy nation doomed ? %%That !
because one slwsir,h army is annihilated, is it dan-
gerous for a British army to appear in the field?—
Was it thus that the French nation established
their independence, when France was overrun by
foreign enemies? I canuot form or fancy any one
excuse that can possibly be urged for this fatal
measure; if the enemy have 100.000 men iii the
field, which no cue will credit, 3.5,000 British
troops ought not en easily to resign-the country to
them; a country, which, from its natural situation,
will enable an inferior army to contend against one
of ten times its number. It cannot be a want of
provisions that has given rise to this fatal order.
because any man, of the commonest understanding,
would have taken care to have established saga-
sines on their intended line of march, before the
army's arrival ; but allowing that this has been ne-
glected, or has been rendered impracticable, how
is an enemy's army of 100,000 men to exist in a
cow-try completely hostile, if its opponent, with
only a third of that number, with the command
of an extensive sea coast, and befriended by the
inhabitants, finds it difficult to obtain supplies?—
My Lord, some fatal, dreadful error must he some-
where, or something worse ; the maims will now
be roused ; this is no Convention of Char* ; it is
intiniteiy more horrible. The good-nature and
liberal feelings of this abused nation have hitherto'
pardoned miscarriages, which were the possible effect
of error ; but now they have stopped—if the Bri-
tish army is recalled from Spain, the feelings of
the people of England will he entirely changed ; no
false pity for supposed unavoidable errors will in.
fluence their judgment ; they will be reused to a
vindication of their national honour, and the guilty
must be delivered up to them for punishment.
If the guilty now elude the country's vengeance,
Calder was persecuted, and Whitelocke was a
martyr. Haan mis.
