REPORT of the BOARD of INQUIRT.

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY,

We the under-written General Officers of the army,
in obedience to your Majesty's warrant, which bears
date the Ist day of November, 1808, commanding
us strictly to inquire into the conditions of a suspen-
sion of arms, concluded on the 22d August, 1808,
between your Majesty's army in Portugal, and the
French force in that country—and also into a deft-
r.itiw Convention, concluded with the French Gene-
ral comm inding on the 31st August following ; also
into all the causes and circumstances (whether aris-
ing frum the previous operations of the British army,
or otherwise, which led to them) ; and into the con-
duct, behaviour,, and proceedings of Lieutenant Ge-
neral Sir Hew Dalrymple, and such other Comman-
der or Commanders of your Majesty's forces in Pon.
tngal ; and of any other person or persons, as far as
the same were connected with the said Armistice,
Suspension of Arms, and Convention ; and to re-
'port to your Majesty a state thereof, as it shall ap-
rear,together with ourlepinion thereon, and also our
*pinion; whether any, and what further proceedings
should be had thereupon.
Wehave, at' several meetings, perused and consi.
.dosed your Majesty's orders and instructions, as
transmitted to us by the Right Honourable Lord
.Castlereagh, your. Majesty's Principal Secretary of
State, together with sundry letters, and other papers,
Therewith transmitted. And have heard and examin-
Ad Lieutenant General Sir Hew Dalrymple, Sir H.
Burrard, and Sir A. Wellesley, and other principal
.officers employed on the said expedition, and such
witnesses as any of them riesired. And also such
other persons as seemed to us most likely to give any
shaterial information. And in order that your Ma-
jesty may be fully possessed of every- Circumstance
which has appeared in the course of this inquiry,
We beg leave to lay before your Majesty the whole
of our examinations and proceedings to this our Re-
port annexed. And upon the most dilipnt and
careful review of the whole matter, we do. in funher
obedience to your royal command, Most humbly Re-
,port to your Majesty,
That it appears, that early in the month of May,
1808, a very considerable force, destined for foreign
service, was assembled near Cork, the command of
which, it is imagined, was intended for Sir Arthur
Wellesley—That in the month of May, universal and
unexpected resistance to French. tyranny had taken
place in Spain—That application was made for the
assistance of Britain, and that Government, with the•
universal concurrence of the country, determined on
giving Spain, and Portugal, then also in commotion,
the most effectual aid.

It appears, that in consequence of such determina-
tion, Major General Spencer, befOre the surrender of
• the French fleet at Cadiz, was off that port with
about five thousand men, sent by Sir H. Dalrymple
from Gibraltar. His assistance not having been
called for there, he proceeded to the mouth of the
Tagu', with a view of aiding Sir Charles Cotton's
fleet in forcing a passage, it having been represented
that there were not in the forts, and about Lisbon,
more than four thousand men. But General Spencer
being then off the Tagus (June 24) reports from
the best authority he could have, that -the enemy
had eleven thousand men in and about Lisbon,
and nine thousand five hundred at St. Übes,
the east of Portigal, and elsewhere. .In this situa=
tion the intended attack coulsl not take place, and
General Spencer returned to Cadiz and Gibraltar. .
It appears, that on the 14th June, application was
made to the-Admiralty to provide a convoy to sail
with the troops then under orders front Cork, on the
arrival of Lieutenant General Sir A. Wellesley, ap-
pointed to the command.
On the2lstierste, .Lord Castlereagh acquaints Sir
Arthur Wellesley that accounts from Cadiz are bad,
and General Spencer was returning to Gibraltar, and
that the Cabinet postpone their instructions to him
till more is known.
On the 28th June, Lord Castlereagh acquaints Ge-
neral Spencer, then supposed at Gibraltar, that • Sir
Arthur NVellesky, with nine thousand men, is or-
dered to proceed from Cork, and to act with his
(Spencer's) corps, in support of the Spanish nation.
—He is, therefore, wit 'his carps, to go off to Cadiz
to wait for him; in the mean time, availing himself
..f any circumstance that offers of acting to advan-
...v-e even within the Straits.
