OCCUPATION OF SAI AITINTA.

The campaign in the Peninsula is once more opened,
and events of the first importance may now be expected
in that quarter, which the contest in the North hild for so
many months reduced to a secondary rank in the public esti-
mation. According to Lisbon rapers, received yesterday to
the 31st tilt. Lord W' ELLINGTON entered Salamanca on the
i6th, and overtook the tear-guard of the enemy, from which
be made sOO prisoners.

arms, in order to resist the spoliation of his territories, and
the first consequence of this determination on hi• part, has
been one, fatal to the allied cause, the reduction of Hamburgh
under the Gallic yoke and the suppression of the insurrection-

ary spii it in that part of Germany. If smli have hitherto
been the results of the coalition formed at such an expellee
with Sweden, it may be fairly questioned whether it have not
produced more evil than good. Denniatk thus becomes the
common enemy," and the Swedish troops may be em-
ployed against it alone without inflinging the terms of the
treaty, and without relieving the Allies from any portion
of the superior force by which they are now so closely
pressed.
The cession of Cuadaloupe to Sweden has been repre-
sented as an obstacle thrown in the way of a genera! peAcee
This is a mistepresentation. By ceding the lights of
conquest which we have acquired over that island, we only
arm Sweden with the means of obtaining better terms in
any future negotiation with Fiance, by supplying her with
an equivalent for any ptopoition of European ten itory she
may find it her interest to require. Thus, should NA PO-.
L coti's power revive in all its force on tl.-e Continent, Swe-
den might now secure the posses ion of Pomerania to'her-
self by exchanging Gaudalutipe fur that ancient appendage
to her monarchy.
From these impartial observations it will appear, that al-
though Mini'ters may have displaved too much confidence
in the good d:spositicn of Sweden, and a liberality, inju-
dicious only if our Ally does not act his part faithfully, yet
they have made no concession injurious to our interest,, or
degrading to our honour. They have, on the contrary, by
making Sweden accept Guatkloupe, wh.ely committed her
still deeper with France, and made it still ino:e completely
her interest to be tine to the cause in which she hits em-
barked, and energetic in her exertions.
