Some accounts state' that from the. dispo-
sitions making by the enemy, there is reason
to believe that they intend even to evacuate the Isle
of Walcheren. The want of water, sickness, and
the enormous expence which the preservation of
this ephemeral conquest would require, 'appear to
have produced this determination, The number of
English 'soldiers who are sick' is estimated at more

It appeared that, the Lodge met at a-put:lie-home;
called the Jamaica Coffee-house; on .Titegdiy eve-n=
ing last,,when'the Prosecutor -atterided, for ti:e pur-

him for admissioia, it was necessary he shouki be
initiated-in certain secrets acid mysteries fecUliar.
to the Society,r-and,lpreparatOry to this, .iiartlet,
one of the Defendants; made a het that he. would
lift three of the heaviest men in the room at one
time; and- the Prosecutor being heavy, short, and
punchy, was, seleated as one.of the thiee; tor the
conveaience ,of -Bartlet, they were ordered to lip
down. on: Ole table;: two of them acco:clingly lay
down, and the Prosecutor having been previously
ordered -to pull ofi hiS coat,* was direded tolay.hirn-
self .on the top 'Of them., with his .face doWri'ward-,;
the farce then "commenced—his.two companions
seized him,,one by the neck, and the othenby his
feet, and the rest Of these 'coniical fellows proeceded
to beat him most 'unmercifully with pieces of rope,
knotted handkerchiefs; &c. the poor fallow be;nl.vl:l
this time held down in suchia.manner that he cotbiht
not perceive Who struck him. Two of .t he members;
however, who were not. so facetious as the rest, did
not approve. of this sport, and by.theirlevidence the
Defendants-were all convicted.

ticipated danger.
r` It was also- natural that the British nation, so
hitely soured by the d4appointinentof its hopes in
the 'Convention of Cintra, and now encoura#d to
fresh expectations by ..the well-known gallantry of
Sir John Moore, should view with impatience the
long sceee,olapparent inactivity exbibited at. Sala-
manca, and compariug the. velocity of Buonaparte's
eagles with the sluggish movements of out Commis-
saries and their baggage waggons, should shut their
ears against any reasons by which a retreat without a
battle could be justified.
" On the other nand it was perhaps equally natu-
ral that our Generals should be actuated by very
different feelings. Sir vivid Baird had arrived on
the 13th of October at, Colunoa ; but, in the first
instance, by.ionie strange perversity or negligence
of the Central Junta, he was not permittedau land
his troops. The cavalry and artillery ln:ying--joitted
him later, could, 1)(t be tiiien barked and put jet mo-
tion till the ibtlrof November, when having re-
ceivedan account of Blake's &fear at Sbronosa, he
began to feel the difficulty of etfetaing his preposed
iuriaion wAit Sir J. Nl:Jere. We are told- by Mr.
Moore,. (whether seri ou-ly ur burnout-oust y, we are,
atter much grave deliberation, unable to decide,) that
Sir David Baird had also a pet nliar source ot antioy-
ance in the want of " slaves" an elel2hants" to
N itich lie had been acci.!.otned in India but, now-
ever this might be, 1w was ceitainiy assailed hy nu-
merous difficulties during his match; halkissed by
alartnitig and contradictory n-ports, disconcerted by
the slowness and apathy-of those whoa: he had ex-
pected..to find enthusiasts, and' confounded by the
rapidity of the French successes. He seems to base
despaired almost-at the beginning, and to,have com-
municated his despondency to :Sir John Moore ;
who, in a situation" of moth greater hazard, with
more extensive responsibility, having full leisure to
meditate on the accumulation of power •which was
destined to overwhelm him, ultimately reconciled
his mind to every sacrifice by which the impending
destruaion might be averted. Gallant and Wave
as he was, and adventurous in meeting, and even in
courting personal danger, and confident as he must
have been in 'the spirit of his excellent troops, he
seems to have forgotten that theii courage might
perhaps afford him some resource, and that audacity
in forming, and rapidity in.executing projects, is
often, in the' vicissitudes ot- military life, the best
quality of a Genera/. The thelaticholy forebodings
by which he was now.visited,are strongly expressed
in the concluding lines of his letter ab' Sir David
Baird. On your arrival 'at Corunua, j d will of
course embark and sail for the TagnS, )iliete orders
shall be waiting for you. Write immediately to
England,- and give notice of what we are doing;
and bog that transports maybe sent to Lisbon. They
will be wanted ; for when the French have Spain,
Portugal cannot be deltnded
" The intelligence of Sir John Moore's intention
having been conveyed to Ananjuez and. Madrid, by
his letters of the tnth, excited there the tamest con-
sternation. Mr. Stuart writes to him on the follow-
ing day, "You must certainly .snow best the chances
of eireaing a_junCtion between y.'ur different divi-
sions and it does not become me to hazard an opi-
nion on the subiett. 'With respect, however, to
tke consequence of their distinct retrograde move-
taislts, I can tell Yoii, that they are likely to pro-
duce an tiled here, not less serious than the most
decisive viaory on the part of the enemy ; and I
shall, .1 own, be surprised if a change of Govern-
ment is not the immediate consequence, when the
reasons tor your retreat are. known." Mr. Frere
dispatched on the same day two letters of expos!u-
lation on the same subjed. The Central Govern-
ment sent to Salamanca two Spanish Generals,
whom Sir John Moore professed to consider as' two
old women,' and whose remonstrances, of course,
bad not any el-Tea in shaking his resolution. La tly,
CaSiei Franco and Morla, the joint Governors of Ma-
drid, addressed to him, on theiertreDecernber, a
memorial, imploring him to succour that city, which
it had been resolved to defend to the last extremity;
and Colonel Charinilly, who had witnessed the ap-
' patently enthusiastic uetermination of the inhabit-
was,deputed by Mr. I:rere to report what he
had seen, and to second the urgent representations
contained in a letter of which he was the bearer.
These dispatches reached Salamanca on the 5th, the
very day on which it appears that the artillery under
General Ilotou joined the army; and, it) conse-
