ERRORS wHICII Anti veto! usErtlr. To us.
There area certain descrintion at errors commit
ted by the satellites of the Corsican,. which we
should know, in 'order to .profit by. •
lteynaud, Governor of Ciudad Rodrigo, believing the
partisans dared, not approaeh that fortress, went out
Irmo it, attended by a few people ; his error preci-
pitated him into the hands of the valiant Don Jo-
li9ni.--Girard, supposing That the allies never th6tght
of giving, but receiving, and trestingiin this, did• nut
exped,General Hill was in search of him ; his error
threw him into the 'net, ruined hii diviiion, and
caused honour to tha allied artus.---Reille, Gayer-
nor of Paint)lona, thinking Mina was a,•man 'without
discernment, laid a trap fur him ; his elror made it
turn against hitncelf.—Ciria thought the insurgents
dared not approach his petty Cou4t, which` confi-
dence induced him to ad incautiously; his error
Caused him tn'Sall into the power of the ,celebrated
Chaleco, and pay, by an infamous death, for the
Many murdtrs he hod committed. The enemy,
considering that a partisan hid neither valour nor
skill to rescue
.from his poWer a prisoner ; his error
procored 'the esczping from his claws of a gallant
:(Colonel Giant) by the assistance of
the valiant Temprono, who, convinced of the aingu-
!or merit and servieesjendered by that stranger, de-
termined to use every possible exertion to save him,'
and succeeded.—Soult thought that with twelve
thousand Vandals he could overtake General Balivi-
teros and his small division ; . his error covered,
with ignominy, and the expedition was ifrostra,ed'
with the loss of more than 2000 of his people.—St:-
melet sApposed the in4orgents did not undeistaed
rapid marches, not dared in phice themselses be-
tween !Linda atid ArCuS ; hiSertor brought aboet
surprise, and he was confused, 'confounded, and
rOuted by the indofatigaule Ballesieros.—The Frerieh
having fortified theniselves in a'poinf, did .not be-
lieve the partisans posscosed either snfficient art or
boldness to drive them tromp. it ; their error made
then'fall into the snare, and in Colataynd the cele-
brated Dinanquideceived 600• of them.
Theseseven recent examples demonstrate that we
may deriVe great. advantages from .t he faults of our
enemi-s, who, as we have frequently obserted,
either ',tie ail their skill in posSing to this side of
'the Pyrennees, or are not so valiant, so inesistible,
noes° iovinuitfle as they boast, or that the Spaui-
ards, notwithstanding their little discipline, are'sn-
petior to them ; the eXperience of a 42 mouths coo
contest proVes this last.
A campaign, a singlq.battle, was sufficient to sub-
due a northern nation,: more than three years awl a
half of continual fighting; .rnatty battlel, and the
over4entting the whote Peninsnlit, ate Out ettotigh
Ito triable Buonaparte to say; with stria truth,
have subjeded a single village in Spaii. 1"--- `rHis er-
ror 4as.already cost liitn 300,000 combatants.
