TO rig (*Vann:MS OF THE SURREY DISPENSARY.

•
IBID not deceive myself in my expectations of your'
good opinion, when I solicited your support. Yesterday was
Pan of the proudest of nay life—two.thirds of these, whose names
Charity had enrolled, give me their unbiassed, unbought, and
honourable suffrages. Yesterday, too, witnessed such a scene as
should put Humanity to the blush—a man seeking for an boom-
able Situation, purchasing, that which should be attained only by
fitness and good opinion. Yesterday gave You this Lesson, That
it is not he whom you, who attend to Charity's best interest, wish
yo piece in the situation of Physician, shall be elected; but be who
has ability to make occasional votes, and bear down your suffrages
by money :—Five Hundred Guineas were paid to the Collector,
on the evening of the 29th; by Dr. T. or his Friends—Was this
the gift of Charity ? Was this to give to your Institution conti-
nuing Governors ?—Nol Charity, nor the interests of your Insti-
tution had nothing to do with it!—.lt was to create occasional
votes for Dr. T.; to overwhelm you, to secure his Election, to
making him a Self-elector and Elected; by substituting for the
choice of the existing Governors—the Friends, the Dependents of
Dr. T.; the Students of Guy's Hospital, the Servants, the Nurses,
nay, the Patients, were to be roused from the bed of sickness, tp
lend their names as Proxies for Dr. 'l.!—Such were the GOWIROIf
who constitute Dr. T.'s numbers!--Of such an Election, I give
him joy l—lt is a dear-boughs Triumph, if it succeeds!
On other grounds, Gentlemen, I stood—l stood en fair torn-
petition, and I succeeded.—lt but remains for me, to offer you my
most sincere astnowledgements-4 do it fervently, as I feel that I
possess your good opinion. The legality of an Election so con-
ducted, if it can be, shall be scrutinized.

Yesterday Mr. Lu, of Gloucester• Place, arrived
at the Foreign Office, from Spain and Portugal. He
wo landed at Weymouth on Wednesday evening
from the Ueneusrran frigate, which sailed from
Lisbon on the-15th instant.

Mr. Ijc left Madrid on the 2d instant, and is, we
understand, the last British subject that quitted that
city, previously to the surrender of the place to the
nervy. From the capital, he pursued the road of
Badajos, and overtook the Junta and Mr. FREW!"
with whom he continued during .two days. On the
6th instant, he received dispatches from the British
Minister. He then proceeded to the head-quarters of
Sir JOHN Moon; from whom he also had dispatches'
and from the Naval and Military Officers in come
mand, on his arrival at Lisbon.

. ,
By this Gentleman's account, it appears that when
the Somosierra was forced, the Central Junta were
under the necessity of quitting Aranjucz, as the place
became exposed by that event to the incursions of the
enemy's cavalry ; that they intended to retire in the
fist instance to Truxilo, and from thence, if neces-
sary, to Badajoz as a place of security. Several Mem-
bers of the Junta went into the provinces to inspirit
and embody the people, and we are rejoiced to hear
that the events at Madrid had by no means disheart-
ened or discouraged the patriots, who still felt a be-
coming and commendable confidence in the ultimate
success of their glorious exertions.
Mr. LIE states that in every town through which
he passed, 1111? same patriotic spirit prevailed, and the
same resolution to persevere in their exertions to drive
iac invader from their soil ; and when defeated in
any quarter by superior numbers and discipline, to
reassemble as speedily as possible in another district,
and to allow no rest to their adversary.

A retort prevailed at Talevera on the 6th, that
the Spaniards had recovered the Retiro on the 4th,
and that a fresh body of troops had entered the town;
but after the accounts which we yesterday published,

it is scarce necessary for us to observe,thsit this report
must hare been unfounded.

We are happy, however, to find, that certain ad-
vices of a favourable nature had been received from
Catalonia. It appears that the Spaniards had made
a successful attack upon the enemy, of whom they
made 500 prisoners, and possessed themselves of two

important heights in the neighbourhood of Barcelona,
by which the enemy were reduced to great distress.

The advices from Lisbon state, that all was tran-
quil in Portugal ; but we regret to hear that the G.-
verarnent were not making those exertions which we
were given to expect, and which • the circumstances
of the times so imperiously demand.

froth

There are several letters in town the British
Army in Spain. One of these, dated Astersa, the
d and Sti inst. states—that on the 2d orders had
been received from Sir Jou:: Moors at Salamanca,

a.ddressed to Sir DAVID 8....itt0, desiring him to make
an immedi...ta retrca-.. with the force under hi com.l
mand at A4orga, Inwards Corunna, where the in-
fantry were to embark in transports for Lisbon. The!
cavalry were to proceed by forced marches, over the
mountains, into Portugal, by the way of Pontefer-
rado,
El Barco, La Rica, Maceda, Orense, Riba
Pavia, Tuy, and by Ponte de Lima, to Oporto; a
march which is represented as likely' to be accom-
panied with some loss, from the fatigue of the journey
and the nature of the roads.
The situation of our armies, at the latter end of
November, is stated to have been as follOws i—Sir I
JOHN MOORE, with 15,000 men, was at Salamanca.
General Hors, who bad been detached to the right,
was to join him on the 2d of December, with 10,0001
men. Sir DAVID BAIRD, with 10,000 infantry and i
1500 cavalry, was at Astorga.
The French are represented as having double that
force, and to be disposed of in the following manner:l
about 20,(X)0 at Burgos, about 40,000 at Madrid ;
'about 6000 had pushed on, by the shores of the Bay!
of Biscay, as far as Oviedo ; 14,000 at Medina dfl
Rio Seco, who were placed there to prevent a junc-
tion between Sir DAVID BAIRD and Sir JOHN MOORE.
The letter, as might be expected from a military
man, ardent to meet the enemy, and probably unin-
formed as to the motives which dictate these move- •
ments, expresses great regret at the idea of retreating
without facing the enemy ond seems to insinuate,
that this retreat is in direct opposition to the repeated
wishes of the Supreme Junta, and of the Marquis
Rossafm, who was at Leos with the remains of the
brave. army under General &axe, who, although
defeated, had never been conquered.

All this is very natural: but no person acquainted
with the military acquirements and sleadylwavery 1
of Sir JOHN Moons, will be easily induced to be.'
lieve that he has acted vrith precipitation, or 1144
unjustifiable caution. A General of his esperieurp
