LAID' REPORT.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, TUESDAY, FEB. 27.
THE PRINCE OF WALES V. SfR JOHN ST. AUEVN,

BART, AND OTHERS.
•
Mr. DALLAS moved, on behalf of the Defendllt,
for have to demur alone to the information and bill,
notwithstanding orders for time ec to plead answer
or demur, not demurring alone." He admitted, that
by the practice of the Court, he was not entitled to
ask it, b'ut was about to state reasons why it should
be granted under the' particular circumstances of
this case, when he was stopped by the Solicitor-
General; who observed, ,that. the application w:is
clearly contrary to the rules of the Court ; but thai
he would save him the trouble of proceeding far-
ther, by declaring that it was his Royal Highness's
particular wish that no objection in points of farm ./'
should be interposed to the fair discussion of the
real merits of the cause, or t'o prevent the Defen-
dants, shaping their defence in any manner they
might think most advantageous to themselves; and
therefore, that he bad his Royal Highness's expreqs
commands to consent to the motion, and requested
that suelLeoininands might be specially mentioned
in the order.

SWINDLING.-,-TWO dashing belles have been. fo•
raging on the town, for about four or five days,
to the mortification of several trade:people in Ox--
lord-street, Bond-street, Piccadilly, &c. They have
obtained goods of jewellers to a very considerable
amount, and their object has been to gO into a
shop imnaediately aftersome person of consequence
had left it, for' whotn inquiry was made by the
swindlers, with an atfealation of knowledge or the
parties. To give effect to their proceeding, the la-
dies ild.-elled in an elegant chariot, accompanied by
a footman, well-adapted for his business. Good;-
were generakly handed into the carriage, and at o• her
times sent borne, by order, to Cora:lt-street,
Gower-street, and Queen Ann,-street, at wnicsii
places the swindlers had temporary.liidgnigs. One
person is said to have suffered a loss or tionl..
by these offenders. The Police are on the look our
for them.

SHOCKING CATASTROPHE. 04 Saturday list a
party, consisting of six persons, were crossing from
the Isle of Wight to Titehheld, Hants, when a
strong breeze sprung up; and the boat was driven
on shore. Of the six persons present two only es-
caped, one of whom is a Gentleman, of the name.
of Keene, who reside§ at Stoke, Middlesex, wh,,'
alorke can. describe the tragical event, as the other 2
person (a boafswain) received a fracture on the
head, from which it is feared he will but rr.:cover.
Tilt re was a young lady in the boat, the daughter Of
a tradesman at Fordingbildge, Hants.
LONGEVITY.—The week before last, four people -

N4111?..A TIVE
-OF•THE LATE CAMPAIGN IN LA MANCHA.

BY AN EYE-WITNESS.

ipse miserriMa

, . .
There has, been So much calumq and prejutice
Preatl in this cot fury with respect to the, Spanish pa-
triots ; the itnbecility of their Governme,OtahasTbeen
so often.tharged upon them ; "t he -impoliaq. - of making
any farther efforts,in then-favour,- so much insisted
upon in some of the pdhlib Viip.ts,.that • the writer of
'the following narrative feels it a duty which he owes
thst-brave and high-minded people, to rescue them
from* those imputation's. be seen from it,
that the loss of the battle of.Ocana, which has led
to the ()au- patitin Of 'A Aalitsii,' avaa'nolin 'the-least
degree owing to thehaiscondu& of the 'Spanish in=
ferior Generals or solaers, but. solely to the rash-
ness, ignorance, and total- incapaCity of Ariesaga,
the CommanSer in Chief,%who an that unfortunate
occasion even lost the reputation he had previously
actinireti for rersonal courage.- s •
The plan of the campaign , suggested by an
OtEtera:ofagrTt experience; and- who diStinguished
himself in the service of' Austria,. Was as follows :
The army of La Mancha was, to pass rapidly
through- to the openacountry, carry off the detached-
corps of the enemy, and-place itself upon the Eastern
Tagus, with one division passed over. The rest' of the
army was to entrench in the: mountains. If the posi-
tion should be found not tenable, it was not to come
to battle, nut manoeuvre so as to gain the mountains
of Guadarama. The Duke:nf Parque was to ma-
nreuv re'llaon' the Escurial, anti alarm the French on
that side of Madrid, while the Duke of Albuquerque
was to movein the direction of Talavera. The British
were reqtiested to favour these movements. Thus,
by the mere effect of manoeuvre, the enemy would
have been obliged to retire until his reinforcements
arrived; behind the Ebio, without being able tri
fight a battle. The first part of the pl,an was well
• executed-, , but owing to the imprudenceead folly of
Ariesaga ,all was lost.
Lieutenant-General Ariesaga was appointed late in
•o(tober to the command of the army of La Mancha,
which had been for some time stationed in and about
La-Cardina, behind the pass of the Opincopeno, and
in the mountains-of the Sierra Morena.
..On the 3d
of November, the army, consisting of 6600 efic-
ti'e cavalry, 43,000 effediveinfantry, and 60 pieces
of cannon, 'with 'eight- days provisions in waggons,
left La CarOlina,anddescending from the mountains:
into the plains of La Mancha, marched partly by
Daymel to the left, and along the high road to Ma-
drid, through Valdeaentas and Mansanares, towards
the Tagus, in the following order : •
Theadvanced gaud, consisting of 2000 cavalry,
were one day's march in front; then the seven di-
visions of infantry, with the reserve of cavalry, and
the head-quarters last. army bad no tents,
marched from 20:t0.30 English miles a day,and slept
in the toWns.
The French, on its approach, retired acrossithe
Guadiana. About, the sixth day's march, General
Freire, who commanded the cavalry, and who al-
' ways marched with the -advanced guard, was very
'near surrounding and taking the French General of
cliVision Latour Mauhourg, with c I 00 horse, at Ma-
•A serjeant of -the dragoons of A!canrara
having deserted at night, gave the enemy Ultima-
' tion and they had just time to get out of the town
when the Spanish hussars and dragoons attacked
- them at day-break, with great courage, and killed a
great many.- The- army-continued its march through
Tembleque to DdS' Barrios. -For three or four days
the Spanish cavalry arias engaged in very spirited
combats withahe Freuch' cavalry, and always suc-
teeded'in driving the enemy. At La Guarda, tha
day before the army arrived at Dos !Barrios, the
horse-gaenadiers of Ferdinand VII. the regiments of
Fornese, and. Pavia. sabred, for four miles, the dray
goons of the French rear-guard. No prisoners were
taken on These occasions.
The army.advanced to Ocana ; there a great fault
was committed ; hitherto every thing had.gone on
well... The march was admirable, and the conduct .of
the cavalry brilliant; . the infantry had not been en-
. gaged. Jost in front of Ocana, ahe French rear-guard
of the caa airy, presented itself ,and was. charged. It
opened right and left, and th 2 Spanish dragoons came
upon a regiment. of infantry, Who were drawn up
against the town, 'which gave them a volley, killed
200, and took two pieces of cannon of the horse-
artillery.. Ten thousand French staid all night in the
town, and retreated acraaSs. the Tagus early in the
morning, although 30,000 Spanish, infantry bi-
votiacped close to the town. ,The General in Chief
was with them, and nauat of course, bear all the
blame of this fatal itfaelivity.
• The General on quitting Carolina, said his inten-
tiori was to ma. ch rapidly, upon Mach id, before the
, French could;colled and concentrate their army ;
but :his.incapacity became soon evident. He delayed
three days at Dos Barrios. 'He then made a very
dangerous flank march, by his right parallel to the
Tagus, to Santa Gratz de la Zarza, 20 English' miles
. from Dos Barrios. While .the army remained at
,Dos-Barrios, the cavalry was engaged every day.—
T/se Roial Carbineers distmgaished t heniselvesapar-
ticularlyat , MOra on: the , left. At Sant Crtit the
' General threw bait!ges over the Tagus, and passed a
division over. The arMy.continued in this ,sition
three days. It had suffered Much ; the clothing was
_ very bad. The long matches and wet had destroyed
the shoes,; half the "army was bare-looted, but the
troops were in hi&h spirits. ~Nothing can exceed
the Spanish soldiers for long marches arid stipport-
-ing hunger and privation of every: kind. The
French pushed their patroles Of cavalry to within'
half a league of the. town.' The next morning
the General drew out his army in order ofbattle.—
The rains had now ceased, but the French did not
appear. He then took the fatal resolution of_ qua-
gang the Mountains, which were behind
_him, and
of going to, seek the French; and give them battle
in the 14ains ; with soldiers half famished, badly
armed,-and imperfetily
Oti. the 18th, of November; the army marched

The or,gagement -was vt•ell-contested. Four or
five hundred men on both sides fell by the sword .;
Frlong' whom was General Pails, who was singlt(l
Out and •carried out of the
,saddle by one of the
lanceros of -Pavia.
The army bivOuacqued that night_ The next. ,
morning the French 'army, which had been 'col-;,
"le6ting same days, presented itself, hating crossed.
the Tagus in the night. General. Areisaga dre(v'
out his army to receive-them ; his disposition was
bad. He divided it into two equal. parts ; one on
each side of Ocana, ..which stands in an immense
and touching the town, both wings en l'oir.
This was bad, because though it Was easy to com-
municate before and behind the town, yet it divided
the line: The- ground. fell a littlt in front, and
there was a gentle slope to some olive plantations
about two miles in front, behind which the French
were, arnotuiting to 43,000, There was another
error in the:disposition. The second, line was too
near the fir4t; so that there was not room to rally. the -
latter in case of disorder. Most of the cavalry were
upqn the right flank in four aues ; a vicious,dispo-
sition,, because they' made little show, and were
neither column nor line. The artillery was all
stationed upon the flanks' ,of each division, and
was admirably served ; the Spanish artillery is their
best arm. .
. .

'At seven o'clock in the, morning the skirmishes
of the- Spanish army, under the yOung Geberal
Zayes, who commanded the advanced guard, and
who is one of the most cistinguished soldiers in
Spain, attacked and drove back the -French cavalry.
Between -eight and nine, all the Spanish army was
in-order or.battle, about 5:.,000 men, and the can-
nonade began on both sides. Tie French fired
from a battery in their centre, diageinly upon the
Spanish right, and struck the cavalry often, who
supported the cannonade for a long time, with great
steadiness and discipline. The French then ad-
vanced several strong colunitis from the olives, and
marched towards the Spanish centre and right.
At this moment, the Spanish, General gave orders
to the whole of the hoe on the right of Onana, to'
advance, and .charge with bayonets ; the cavalry
moving on also equal with the infantry. The line
advanced more than 200. paces. The French 'co-
lumns in the mean time deployed; and
.gave a great
fire .of vollies, by battalions and grape, which check-
ed the Spaniards. The French ,cavalry 'attacked
the left and were repulsed; but they entered with
their cavalry the centre. They, rnanceu4ed under
the fire of the "Spaniards. with several columns, and
their cavalry shewed itself on their left. The se,.
venth Spanish division, which was en the tight of
the infantry, and immediately next the ca% airy, was
thrown into some confusion,' but -oft n
formed column, and came on. Two regiments of
-that division behaved nobly ; the first battalion of
the Spanish Guards, and the fifth of Seville. They
remained in line the whole time ; floating hack.
'wards and forwards, but always facing the, enemy.
The Guards, who were 900 strong, left 14 officers,
and 450 men on the field ; the' sth of Seville had-
-450 in anion, and about 80 have been accounted
for. This is the regiment which so much distin-
guished itself with
_Sir Robert Wilson at Puerto de
Batton, and which, is Meniio-ned uy him. •
At length a French close column under Marshal
Mortier marched au pas de charge, broke the hoe,
and its head came equal to the second line of ca-
valry. At this instant the . French deployecL A
great many pieces of artillery in front of the cavalry
kept up a heavy discharge of grape, supported by a
line of infantry, and the cavalry advanced to charge
the sight of the Spaniards. The battle was now
lost; in a few minutes the whole of the-infantry on
the right gave way; and the cavalry, seeing thig,
turned their horses. to the rear. The wbo!e of the
left of the infantry stood firm, and cheered the Ge-
neral as he passed them; but without • saying a
word, except that the left should follow him, he
quitted the field.
No effo'rt was afterwards made to make-the !east
stand. The whole army fled in the mast dreadftil
confusion. A few squadrons attempted to form up,
but gaie way again. The rapid fire of this French,
their shouts of vitory, and the sound of the' herseS'
feet, (a sound terrible to the Spaniards in the plains
where :hey have so often been cut to pieces,) aug-
merited the confusion. The cannon was abandon-
ed, and the whole of it was instantly in the pottier
of the French. The French cavalry found them-
, selves in the midst 01304000 fugittVe infantry, who
had no position nearer than. La Carolina, and were
obliged to traverse a plain more than 150 miles in
many parts. The French did not pursue beyond thi
Guadiana.

Santa Cruz de la Zarza, Nov. 16, 1809.
" To-his Excellency the. General-in Chief, Don JUAN CAR,
LOS DE A RIEZAGA, in his Head.quartcrs at Santa trim
de I.a,Zarza.: •

" Possessing too slight a claim to the cptifidence
of your Excellency, to be personally informed of.
your present and ulterior intentions, the situation.
of your army, that of the co-operating corps, and
also that of the enemy I can only form my opinion
by_ what I see; and by the reports of those whom
every appearance concurs to accredit.. if I. am to
confide in these reports,. your Excellency is resolved
to .march against the enemy, to offer him battle.
" Upon this. supposition, I should be unworthy
of the confidence with which I liave been honoured
by the Supreme governing Junta of the Kingdoms
of Spain and the Indies, and also of your Eicellen-
cy's egeetn, if I had not, at the pieient moment,.
the firmness respeolfolly to submit to you.the reflec-
tions suggested by that res
Yesterday -your. Excellency concurred .with me
as to the danger there would be in potting to hazard
the affairs of your country,. and of. thus compromis-
ing the interests of Europe, 'so intitnately united
with "those of Spain. You appeared to me to be sen-
sibly impressed with the honour of' dk,livering-Ma-
drid and . Castile, by continuing the same grand
movements by which you have hitherto driven the
enemy before you ; and seemed to be vey little in-
: fluenced by the glory of gaining. a battle, the suc--
: cess of which is almost always owing.. more to
chance than to the talents of the .General ; whereas
the success' acquired by movements crown his tro-
byatteStmg his genius. But as a' battle is
the.last resource .ot a General,, permit: me, with a
view to a just decision, to, state the causes which
authorize a recourse to the chances of an engage-
ment, A General offers battle when hefinds' his •
supplies cut off, or. obstru6ted; when, by a com-
bined operation, he is sure of totally destroying the
enemy; when, either from the quality of his troops,
or. the advantage of the ground, he possesses a ma-
t nifest and decided superiority ; whenit is necessary
to anticipate the arrival of reinforcements e'xpealed:
by-the enemy, and
,whose junetion would reduce
him to-an impossibility. of keeping the field ; when
it is of importance to relieve a besieged place ; when
the consequences of a defeat• can, in no case, coun-
tervail the advantages- that would result from vi6to-
, ry ; in Sllolt, when his objeticannotbe attained but
by a battle.
" These, Sir, it I am not mistaken, are the
principal situations in which every thing may be
abandoned to the hazard of a battle. But lam of

It is impossible to ascertain. what the loss on each
side was. The battle lasted about five hours; and
the troops were otten ,very near each other, and
sometimes mixed. Persons who have been on the
side of the Tagus With the French,, say they lost
6000 men, but the number is probably exaggerated.
It is certain that ,op to the battle-they lost 1000 ca-
valry. The Spaniards only saved frur or five piecei
of artillery, and hardly' any baggage. The Spanish
soldiers fought with great valour, but what 'folly to
commit on a plain such young troops
,with veteraus!
Had they been in a position or in maintains, the
battle would have probably had a different termina-
tion. The Spaniards cannot rnanceuvre under fire,
which the French do with almost as much facility
as on parade, The regiment of Murcia was cut ;o
pieces: The Spanish loss was, 5000, killed and
wounded, and 15,000 prisoners.
Marshal Vigor, who had crossed the Tagus at
Villamaurique, pursued all night. At ten o'clock
he ovettook 800 Spanish dragoons at Silk, twenty,
miles from Ocana, who were so fatigued, having
been saddled thirty-six_ hours, and who had unbri-
dled their horses, that they were all made prisoners.
General Areisaga,
,on the first appearance of the
enemy, mounted into the steeple of Ocana. On
descrying the enemy, he felt much alarmed, and
now, for the first time, perceived what was likely'to
be the consequence of his rashness and presumption,
He went to the left, and before the battle was
qUite lost, he quitted the field._ Brigadier-General
Lord Macduff, upon this, proposed to.the Marquis
of Mulespina, Major-General of the Horse,. who
was second in command, to /assume the chief com-
mand, and that he would assist him to the utmost
of his power. The French cavalry, at this time, •
broke through the centre, and rendered all Lord

opinion; that your Excellency is in no one of these
situations.
" Having in your rear the most fertile Provinces
of. Spain; and master of the main roads that lead:to
rit nrevnilc in your them, the abruZance I I i
lency s camp banishes every idea of scarcij.
" It is important, that a battle should be part.of
a combined plan between your Excellency and the
co-operating corps; but such a-supposition, in the
present case, would show the absence of all,calcula-
lion.

With the exception of the valour and good dig..
'positions with which your Excellency has been able
to animate your troops, The superiority in all military
points incontestibly belongs to the enemy. _
" By marching. voluntarily against the enemy,
your Excellency yields to him all the advantage; of
a position which he will have studied in every re-
spect, to which he will have adapted his evolu-
tions, -and where he will have distributed his artil-
lery; whtrea3 the march of yesterday has proved to.
your Excellency the difficulty. of *putting yours in
motion.

from that •moment the a&ivity or the other corps

From:the point in question, you might push beyond
the right back -of the river a strong advanced guard,
to be supported by an intermediate corps placed in

•" The same cause leaves. your Excellency as lit-
tle hope of deriving any advantage from the services
of your.cavalfy.
" I conceive it a physical impossibility; that the
enemy should be so speedily joined by reinforce-
merits ; otherwise, the Government, in 'communi-
cating such information, would have enabled you to
be powerfully seconded by diversions on the part of
the co-operatieg corps.
" No besieged place expe&s direa succours from

".Troops newly formed,- if beaten, present only
the certain prospect of dispersion; and this risk can-
not, be counterbalanced by any lope of success. •
The object of your Excellency being the deli-
verance of Madrid and the Castiles, it is manifest
that, by continuing those manoeuvres which are
already drawing to a close, this object will be at-
tained, without in any resped hazarding the exist-
ence of the army.
" If I now proceed to examine the advantages
.that may result from the gaining of a battle, in order
to contrast them with the injurious Consequences 'of
a defeat, how easy it is to perceive, that •the petty
amount of the former can never compensate the
enormous extent of the latter ?
f' The evacuation of Madrid and- the Castiles
are the' only advantages which I Can discoverin
the gaining of a battle. Your Excellency would
not in vain flatter yourself, that, though fighting
at the gates of the capital, you should be powerfully
aided by the efforts of the inhabitants ; for it. the
tattle of Talavera furnished a proof of the patriotic
attachment of those loyal Spaniards, it also demon-
