THE SUN;

10LL144 (UIS DlCiat FAT-SUM AUDEAT?

L 0 ND 0 IV,
'MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1912.

The report of the Orient squadron having enter-
ed Cherbourgh appears. to be unfounded. They-are
either still cruizing, or have proceeded,upon their
degination.

The Walsingham packet arrived last night, iweight
days, from Lisbon. Troops and artillery were push-
ing on fur the sieges of Badajos. The enemy is
plundering the country without mercy, to provision
the place : but his troops desert in great numbers;
50, with their arms, entered Lisbon in one day.—
The lValsingham saw, a frigate off Brest, which had
lost her toptnasts; but whether French or English
could not dkco‘er.

Our Dover Letter this morning contains the fol-
lowing most gratifying account :
" His Majesty's brig Rosario, Captain FIERirEY-.)
on Friday last, while cruizyig off the FrenCh coast,
fell in with a squadron of the enemy's praams, i 5 in
mimber, and, notwithstanding the disparity offorce,
the brave Rosario determined on engaging them, and
after manceuvring so as to cut off their retreat, most
nobly brought the whole to a6lion, and, after a des-
perate engagement, succeeded in completely defeat-
ing the whole squadron ; captured three, sunk one,
drove five on shore, and 'the others, after a most
severe drubbing, made their escape, owing to the
incapacity of the _Rosario to take charge of any
more. :fills action is certainly one of the noblest
in our annals, and could not have 'wen achieved by
any but BritiSh Seamen, commanded by tritish
Officers. The following estimate of the forces en-
gaged on each side will speak so forcibly to the
reader, that further comment may be deemed
needless:—

BRITISH FORGE.

FRENCH FORCE.

Rosario Brig, Captain Hervey, Fifteen Imperial and Royal
io guns and 75 men. Praam Brigs, each mount-
ing six heavy guns, and
manned by sa- men each,
making the total, French,
90 heavy guns-750 men.
" The three captured Praanis passed the Dnwns
last night, in a very shattered state, for Ramsgate.

We have no hesitation in saying, that had the
case been reversed, and the Rosario had been French
and, the Praams English, any one of them (singly)
would have taken the Rosaria.--What a contrast--
what a gratification to British feeling !"

We this day lay before our Readers very detailed
extraas from the last Spanish and Portoguese
Papers. The prospe& appears to be brightening in
every part of the Peninsula, and the successes of
SUCHET have been 'followed by reverses in almost
every part of Spain. We have not room to enter
into any observations upon the aaive and brilliant
exploits of the Guerillas; we can therefore only refer
our Readers to the dispatches in the Gazette, and to
the official accounts in the Krtuguese and Spanish
Papers. We shall only refer particularly to a pas-
sage 'in a dispatch of Lord WELLINGTON, which
fully confirms the assertion we have made, that the
French are really only in possession of those parts of
Spain which are occupied by their troops. It appears,
that the French cannot even send a courier from
Valladolid to Bayonne without an escort of 250 ca-
valry and infantry, and the courier is obliged for his
safety to ride in the middle of them, and his horse is led
by a Serjeant, who has a cord fastened to the bridle !
The idea of a Courier marching in procession with
his dispatches is really ludicrous.—The siege of Ba-
dajoz has commenced, and the French must either
suffer that important fortress to fall, or abandon
their other objets in the South-east Of Spain, and
collea a large force in the neighbourhood of Badajoz
to raise the siege ; in either case, most important
advantages will result to the Allies.
