It was that extraordiaury system): to loch exptved us
to the derision of our ul lies Gild our enemies, that

ing succour to Spurn. In this, all seemed perfectly
mid entirely agreed, ate' all hoped. that tawever
much the disgraceful Convention of Cintra might
have disappointed the hopes and expectatiAts of the
nation, it would have of least one good effect, nue
solitary tides:nage, that it would enable US with
greater rapi lily to com,nrnce the cainpuign in the
contiguous cotuot v of Sprit). Every one expressed
his hopes, that Ili* Majesty looked to Spsiiii as
likely to afford the happy result of our exertions in
Portugal. Sir Arthur Wellesley, whose laurels
bloomed in the battle of Vitnieru, was isopeliii that
such would have been the 0111,elieletiee of that
victory, and subsequent conveution, but still !hat
very motneut was the moment of despair, for Cie
armies of our affer were then opposed to the arione*
of the enemy in Spain, so that that which has been
said to be the result of activity in Portugal, was
the very result of the wont of foresight used infor-
mation on the part of his Mrjesty'r Alinistere. It
is now et iolent that they were equally Doable to
take advantage of success as they were to avert dis-
tress, and et-ea to take advantage of the disgrace-
full conventiou of Client; in short that they were
as little able to gather the laurels of the conquest

contrast between this conduct of Mioistefri and
that of our enemy ; whilst Bonaparte seemed
to tune been flying on the bath of the eagle,
the Noble Lord seems to have LeZot creeping
on the Irack•of the tortoise, to oppose him. On the
2d of November, we find the Noble Lord writiarl
to Lord William Bentilick, to inform of
valuable discovery he had made, that the activity
of the French armies, when oi.re put into motion, is
well known, and that it ran only.lw met with a
corresponding activity and exertion. Weer! !tear!'

This was written when only ti days before Bonaparte
had destroyed two armies. The day upon which
Sic David Baird begins to disionoark at Co-
rutin', was that upon which the last division of our
army leaves the Tagus, and upon which Bonaparte
Isegins his campaign on the banks of the Ebro,
with 120,000 men. Sir John Moore, during all
this time, rewires neither plan nor instruetirms, as
ill bow to proceed. Oa the contrary, the Nook
Lord dioconraoes the idea of a •plais, till at length,
oil the 26th of September, lie writes hint 44 that it
