Foreign enemies.

THE wisdoM of the,determination to retain, for 1
the present, a respectable force in Portugal, has been
questioned in a Morning Paper, upon grounds which
we do not-distinaly undLrstand. • It is said that our
troops ought riot to remain in the Peninsula unless
they are intended to .a' offensively, and that the
present is the season .for striking one blow more.
Nov,r Lord WELLINGTON is certainly not left in
Portuotil kith instructions forbidding offensive 0
ope-
rations, and measures have been taken for enabling
him,, if it be . possible to strike another blow, to
strike it with effect. Whether at this precise mo.-
ment the blow ought to be attempted—or in other
words, whether the British army ought now to ad-
vance against either of the corps of France, we do
consider Lord WBLLINGTON ~as a tolerably compe,
tent judge ; and the simple question now in dispute
iS, whether there be or be not a sutiieient'probabi-
lity of such an advance becoming feasible, as to, ren-
der politic the resolution to reinforc, bis Lordship's
army, But it is said that we cannot maintain Portu-
gal against BuotgAe4nl-4, after the French force in
Spain shall have been increased to the amount oX
Which a Peace in Germany will admit. Of this we
are perfeetly aware, but unfit that capability of in-
' crease shall have been acquired, why not protea our
friends the- Portuguese ? Granting the affairs of
Spain to be utterly hopeless, and the possibility of
13130NAPARTE'S being retained in Germany, to be
utterly destroyed (neither of which assumptions, we
• conceive, oughtto be aded apon), is not every week
during which Portugal is retained as an Ally, ad-
vantageous to bur cause, and honourable to our cha,
racier ? . .

When the state of affairs in Germany shall enable
France to dire& her whole fOrce against the Penin-
sula of Spain and 4,Fluvual, the question will take a
different aspeEt, and the retention of British troops
in the Peninsula, if a defensible measure, tbust be
defended upon very different grounds. Taut at this
present moment we conceive that the recall of our
troops would be an a 0; in regard to Spaip, of un-
timely despair, and, in regard to Portugal, of,tm-
merited desertion of a friend.

Private .LetterS, froM Walcheren state the si4-
ness amongst the • troops as gradually decreasing,
and nO:doubt is entertained but the place is tenable
at a'.l seasons, should it be determined to keep pos-
session thereof i for which purpose, however, a large
naval farce will be necessary. The only troops in
South Beveland ate. Dutch, which are 'continually
annoyed'and preventedihrowi'n up-..batteries' by the'

intend to do thessame in that qharter. Eight thou-

• BADAJOZ, SEPT. 4.7--Yesterday his Excellency
Sir A. Wellesley, General in Chief of the British

Junta sent two of its members, Don Andres Gonza-

compliment him, 'and present their respe&ts; to
which his Excellency replied with that affability so
natural to him, and which so much exalts his noble
'achievements. When he had taken some refresh-
ment he presented himself to the Junta, and not
fieding it assembled, as it was not the time of its
Session, he went to the house of the President, the
Most Excellent Archbishop, Bishop of that Diome,
in which visit the most sincere demonstrations of af-
feaion mutually passed. The faithful people of
Badajoz received him with the gratitude and admi-
ration due to the hero who, in the fields of Talavera,
gained a victory so important to the country', though
its consequences did not correspond with the flatter-
ing hopes we had entertained of greater triumphs.--

than four weeks the wound healed kindly but at the
end of the fifth week 'he was seized with symptoms
of hydrdphobia, and in less than 48 hours died in
violent convulsions. The surgeon who attended thie—
boy gave suit orders to keep the dog a few weeks

not ; but having broke looie the following day,
