the necessity of the case, and I request their attajalance and
tpport on the City of Elect'on. '

avowal of one of the Gentleman to whom you entrusted that
Important charge, of his intention to surrender it, as I can now
make a respectful
offer of my sm-vices, without opposition to one
considered by you as worthy of holding so sacred a trust, and the
peace of the Country will not, I hope, be disturbed. lam fully
sensible of the great and serious responsibility asCounty Member
ondertaker. Shook! Ibe so fcrtunate as to attain the object of
• ambition, you may rest assured, that I will devote my best
tertions to the promotion of your interests, and to the active
41 independent discharge of my parliamentary duties. It would
become me ti make further professions, but I pledge myself
not to be deficient (in endeavour, at least) to deserve your con-
fidence and prpve my gratitude.
I fie short period of time that will elapse prior to the day of

waiting on you all individually ; but, be the result what it may,
I shall not fail eagerly to seize the first opportunity to perform
that duty.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen, very sincerely,
your attached and fa,tbful servant,

The Cabinet Council lately convened in Washing-
ton, has dissolved, and the President instead of issu-
ing his Froclamation, declaring the cesration of the
Non-Intercourse Law, directed his Secretary of the
Treasury to issue the above huirmaions I The annals
of the world do not present harder cases than those
of the importers of goods on the violated faith of nation:.
We are informed that Mr. Madison left Washing-
ton for his residence in Virginia on Thursday morn-
ing last. We infer from this circumstance and the
silence of the National IntAligencer, that the late Cabi-
net Council has resulted in an abortion. It is not
fully ascertained that the Government • has yet been
Otrolly informed of the Revocation of the British
der s, and this perhaps may be the cause of the in-
action of the Cabinet.

our Rulers obstinately persevere in continuing the
war, for the management of which they are wholly

44 Thirdly, this 'shocking disgrace to our arms
proves how rash and heedless, and impolitic was the
conduct of the President, in harrying us into a war
before we were reputed, before our armies were
raised—our military stores providA, and our men
properly disciplined.
" General Hull is a gallant and excellent Oitcer,
not of yesterday. His surrender, tlwugh dreadfully
disgracc'ul to the nation, eanncr. b. attributed, we
are fairly persuaded, to him. The fault is in those
who, unprovided, hurried him tn..) this expedition,
with a force incompetent to effect his object ; a thou-
sand en ors may be pointed out in the management
of this affair, all of which fall upon the President and
the Council, but we shall only Lotice one fatal and
obvious one—Upper Canada lies nearly 1009 miles
along our frontier ;it is thinly peopled. If Canada
must be invaded—if it was necessary' to squander
lives and money to distress innocent and defenceless
people, when no object of the war cruld he promotedl
by it, the attack aught to have heat made at Niagara'
and Montreal, at the same time when Hull entered
Detroit. Brvck's force and attention would havekeen
divided, and fortibly, we etaapbaueally say/ion/41
itbe project would have succeeded.
44 It will be no exciise to "say, that Dearborn cora,'
not de got ready. I:is situation is known at Washington
in four days, iind might be commun;cated in five more
to Hull, who ought not to have entered Canada till
Dearborn was ready. Had Block been defeated, he
would have had the consola&ion of having modestly
anticipated it in his Proclamation—a consolation
which Hull must have greatly wanted. This boast-
ing spirit is the general spirit of our country."

MINISTRY OF WAR.-ARMY OF THE CENTRE OF
SPAIN.

The details ctonmunicated in the subjoined Report,
shew with what crder his Catholic Majesty caused
the orders to be executed which prepared the junc-
tion of the Army of the Centre, which was pecu.
liarly under his orders, with that commanded by his
Excellency the Marshal Duke of Albufer.i.

Report addressed to Marshal Jotirdan, Chief of the Staff, Ma-
jor-General of his Catholic Majesty, by the General of Divi-
sion 'lreland, dated Albacett August 22, I St; and trans-
mitted by order of his Catholic to the Duke de Feltre,
Minister at War.

i

The continual marches which my division has
made, since the action which it had on the 11 th in-
stant, with the advanced guard of the English army,
have prevented me from sooner addressing to your
Excellency the Report Which I have now the honour
to prepnt.
On the 10th, at one in the morning, •I received
orders'at Naval Carnero, to march with my division,
and occupy the villages of Majalahonda and Las
Rosas, for the purpose of learning by reconnoissances,
whether the corps of the English army, coming from
Segovia, had passed the Guadaram*. The Italian
divisiOn, commanded by General Palomhini, occu-
pied in my rear the village of Boadilla ; and the head-
quarters of his Catholic Majesty were t Al. sorcqe.
On the llth, before day-break, I ordered t:ie Ist
brigade of my division, composed' of thef3th and
18th dragoons, which occupied Las Rosas, to clear.
the roads of Galapagar, Torre La Done:, and Col-
, menar, on which it teli in with the advanced-guard
of the army of Lord Wellington consisting of threi
battalions of infantry, with five feces (f artillery,'
and 1200 horse, which descended the mountains.
This brigade supported .with firmness the attack of
the enemy's advanced guapl ; I ordexed it to incline
upon the second brigade, conformably to the orders
which I had received, to retire upon the division Pa-
Jombini, should I be attacked by a superior force.—
I'l at General, whom I inforMed of my' movement,
!sent me immediately a reinforcement composed of
the dragoons Napoleon, and some lauciers ; 1 then

1

__ am igoon.s, and the regiment of,
goons Napoleon, which formed my reserve, aten
head charged General Schiasetti,Colorals Roma
Maranessi, and Captain Pitard. This charge, ,
vigorous as seasonable, had complete success, a
the enemy retired in the greatest disorder.
Besides three pieces of artillery, carried by deli
brigade, and which the 2d prevented from beep el
taken, a quantity of baggage, Fnd more than tvi
hundred horses fell into our power ; two Lieutenant
Colonels wounded, with about 60 prisoners, sane
brought to head-quarters. ' I
A superior officer and more than 160 Eriglish ad
Portuguese remained stretched on the field ; in short,
the loss of the enemy in kilted, prisoners, and dim
bled, may be estimated at 7or 800 men. I do
at all doubt that this fine affair powerfully eon '
buted to retard the enemy's march, and to secure
tratquilitty of our own.
This affair of cavalry was one of the finest and to
extraordinary that has taken place, from the des
rate valour which was displayed on both sides: A
the regiments of my division emulated ia:h ether i
zeal and intrepidity.
