(Signed) JOHN•JEFFERY, Consul-Gen.
Lisbon, Jan. 2, 1815.

314 -Conattl-General and Gentlemen,-1 receive with the
truest acknowledgment, this cordial and flattering welcome,
and I am only concerned that the indisposition under which
I hare laboured, since nry-nrrival in this place, has prevented
me from becoming sooneracquainted with so valuable a body
of my countrymen,'

I do net presurne, Gentlemen, to take any thing personally
to myself, in the satisfaction which you justly express at the
nomination by his. Royal Highness the Prince Regent, of a
Minister of the highest diplomatic character, to represent his
Majesty at a Court with which the'British CroWn is connect-
ed by intercourse so intimate, by alliance so ancient, and by
a C,minunity
.of interests as this moment so peculiarly
binding.
It will be my duty faithfully' to watch over those interests,
and to preserve and strengthen
.(so far as in me lies) for the
tine of peace, the ties which have been so recently cemented
by the blood anti treasure of Great Britain.
As an essential part of that -duty, you may be well assured
that the rights and privileges of your Body will be. the object
of my early and particular consideration.
In addressing me, Gentlemen, as the friend of Mr. Pitt, you
at once most peculiarly' gratify my feelings, and suggest the
only ctaini by which I can' be entitled to your confidence.
It rejoices-me to find iu Englishmen, however separated
from their native land, a sympathy so
_Oast and lively with the
sentiments of the great mass of their countrymen at home.
'lt is true, Gentlemen,: and it is felt to be true, that the
principles and policy of Mr. Pitt have wroughtout the deliver-
ance of Europe, although it did not please Dirine Providence
that he should survive to guide th-ein in their last application,
and to witness-their tinal success. .

To bhn i.t.wasl.uwing that (in his. own memorable. words)
" England saved herself by her firmness, and exhibited. that
example whichjms saved the world."'

WINCHERTEIt-NINVIi DAY, MONDAY, JAN. SO..'

The Court met for business at the usual hour.
Admiral Hallowell said, when the statement of
the force
.of the army was laid before the Court,
be was Unable to produce the correct or. official.
document, and. since that time Lc had obtained
from the Transport Office the official returns of the
army actuallyembarked at Tat ragona, and he Was
Harrxious to tly it before the. Court.
The Judge Advocate said, this was not the time
for the Admiral to offer any thing to the Court.
Sir J.Murray,said, he was; at the time alluded
to, in possession of the paper now presented by.
Admiral Hallowell, which, however, he did not
produce ; if he had availed himself of it, lie should
have 'profited his defence by it to- the amount of
400 men, which was the difference between the
returns of the 4th and the 12th of June.
The President said, he could see no reason why
the paper offered by the Adthiral should not be
placed with the other papers left for the future
examination of the Court.
The Judge Advocate did not object to the pro-
duction of the paper in question, but merely to the
time at which it was presented ; it could 'not, be
received till Sir J. Murray had closed his evidence;
but a refusal to receive the paper now did not pre-
clude its reception hereafter.
The Court then proceedvil to read such docu-
ments as had been received in evidence at the last

sitting.
The Judge Advocate the first paper which
had been properly proved, was an extract of a Me—
morial of Col. Cavaue's, relating to the-quality of
the troops of the first army ; 'it was dated Vick,
13th of March,
.1813, and described the army as
being brava, but destitute of discipline ; the troops
were active and fit for mountain warfare, but the

infantry was uninstructed, and the cavalry with-
out the nececessary experience for acting in a
body. The army wanted the means of being ter-
rible to the enemy ; the caps of sappers were iu
the cradle, and besides the whole were almost
without equipments.
The second document %Vas dated Perrello, 4th
of, June, 1813. It was from the Alcalde of that
place, and that 7000 men were then arrived at
'l'ortosa, NVitil 2000 baggage waggons, and that
boats were assembled at Anibosa for their
transport.

that the information of the peasant, at Colonel
Mansol's, was faLe.

The third was k letter from Colo'nel Prevost,
dated COI de Balaguer, Julie 5, )813. It appris-
ed Sir T. Murray of the deficiency,of the force
under the Colonel to reduce the fort of St.
; and mentioned the probability of Suchet
advancing on the-. place, in which case the five
pieces of cannon used in the siege must be lost ;
the fort was much stronger than had been ima-
gined, and would take double the force 'then be-
fore it to secure its fall. The letter concluded by
saying how much the corps was in want of artil-
leryand. ammunition.

The 4th was' a. letter from General Wbitting-
ham to Sir J. Murray dated -the Bth of. June; sewed
P. M. and contained a report

vered.

Consul, 'dated the sth of June., It gave an ac-
count.of the advance of two columns of French
troops from Valluria ; it appeared to he Suchet's

and then March for Arragon. It stated the French,
force on the Xucar to be 5000, and informed Sir
J. Murray that the army of the Duke del Fugue
had been provisioned for a month.
The 6th -was.'aletter from Achnkal Hallowell to
.Sir J. Murray, dated 4A. M. June 9th, informing

place, who said 2000 men were arrived there, and
that Marshal Suchet was expected with 6000 more,
The Admiral would dispatch a gun-boat to inter-
cept the road to' Tarragona:

more Wall 5300 remained in the garrison.
The Bth was a letter from the Alcalde of Per.
nello, dated June 10.

. . 'rue Governor of Tortosa had told the Alcalde,
that by the 1116'11.0w Suchet would be in the latter
place. •

reached Barcelona ; ten pieces of cannon and

dal, entered, Villa Franca at foer o'clock. The
Spanish troops had retired. The. General then
says, •Copons has retired to Altafulla. If Sir John
Murray did not mean to risk a battle, it would
not be prudent to remain in the position tile divi-
sion's then occopied ; the. time pressed, on them,
and they Might be forced into a hdttle on those
heights which were so unfavourable to them.
The pith was a letter from Colonel Prevost,

should give up the castle to COI. Carlies, but
what it; do with the cavalry he,did not know, as

the road that night.

1. Murray,. dated Costa de la Baraguet'a, June
the 16th. It gave informatioactf the advance of

General Wbittingham observed, that this ge-
neral total nearly agreed with the accounts of the

lencia.
3. Memorandum talicn•from papers found on the wounded
of the enemy, skit i u.bserrations by General Donkin, dated
140 April, 1613. Accordinz to this paper, the grand total
of the army of Arrag;sn. is stated at 27,1; in, besides the gar-
rison of Arragon. •
The Judge Advocate thsen stated to the Court,
that Sir John Murray bad, "since Saturday last,
delivered in observations on ,two of the other pa-
pers, of which the reading was suspended, namely,
a Memoir of Colonereabancz, and a return from
M. Tupper; the British Consul! at Alicant, of the'
state of the Dukc del I'm-quo's army.—These ob-
servations he read over to the Court,
Admiral Hallowell objected to the letter from
Mr. Tupper being received. It was dated in July,
1814, more than :4 year after the period of the
siege of Tarragona ; an(( the subject was one on
which Mr. Tupper was nut competent to speak.
Sir John Murray knew the strength of the Duke
del I'artitte'4 army before he sailed front -Alica'at.
,
By his he instructions, e was ordered not to move
from "that place till he knew the strength of the
army in question ; and he did aecorltingly wait at
Alicant till it joined hitn. Theletter in question
could not have influenced General Murray's con-
'duet al the period of the siege, anti was not,
therefore, now admissible.

General Murray allowed thikt.-ihe letter in ques.
tion could not have influenced his conduct ; but
it ‘Vas influenced by the, facts which that letter
went to confirm.

Admiral Hallowell professed himself, willing to
give Sir J. Murray every advantage, but he could
not allow this paper to be received. -
General Murray said, that this letter of Mr.
Tupper proved that the army of the Duke del
Parcpte was not in a state to move for want of
subsistence and the proper equipments, &mil the
2d to the Ilth of June. •
Before clearing the Court, General Donkin was
called in to authenticate a paper, purporting to
be a summary of the operations of the 2,1 and 3d
Spanish armies, signed tiaras, Brigade Chief of
the Stall; dated 12th June, 1813. In this sum-
mary it was stated, that Suchet set out for Cata-
lonia on the 6th instant, leaving only from six to
eight thousand men to the south of the Xucar.:--7
The Duke del Parque having resolved to advance
-his army, was in motion on the 9th. The enemy
retreated on the night of the same day, and was
pursued b) their cavalry.
The Court was Alien 'cleared for the purpose of
determining with respect to the admissibility of
the reserved papers.
On the'Court being re-opened,
• The Judge•Ativocate acquainted Sir J. Murray,.
that the Court.lnid agreed to admit the memoir of
Colonel Caranor, respecting the operation of the
campaign Of 1813; as evidence.
The ',memoir was then read. It referred gene-
rally to the operations which were to be content-
plated as arising from this campaign ; it was dated
DeceMbee,`lBl2.- '
The Judge Advocate then stated, that the paper
signed " Tapper" that signed " Daniels," and a
pagier respecting a return of camp-kettles, i'vere
not to be admitted as 'evidence. The Court had,
however', agreed to adMit the report of St. Cyr,
found in Joseph's port-folio, as to the force of the
army in the interior of Artagon, dated May 13,
1813. This stated the infantry Officers to be 332 :

Copons stated to Sir John 'Murray the difficulty
of the two armies,-acting together, and that his
