he feared not to affirm it- confidently;. he had that
•• strong conviction which' is Commonly. supposed to
be the effect of an internal. presentiment, whilst it is
nothing else but the spring of. a strong rind, which;
already knows its power, and looks beyond its tar-•
row sphere. To reach thi!, the first step was diffi-,
cult-;-Morillo could only do Fo liy entering intO the!
regiment of marines in which he became sergeant,
At the battle of Trafalgar he was on board a vessel: •
whose colours were carried off by the enemy's fire;
fie leaped into the se; seized them amidst the naves,
and-gained his vessel. This action made him known~
Incorporated in 1808 among the new levies in Gat
• Neje (Atanne), and soon separated from his command- .
ing officer, Morillo supplied his place, succeeded hint
• in. the command ; and in March, 1809, invested with;
his undisciplined guerillas the fortress of Vigo, which
having no garrison but the employh of the army, and'
some convalescent
.soldiers, was soon reduced to the
last extremities. HOweier, the French Commandant;
M.Ch—, obstinately refused to surrender to a corps
of partisans, and would treat with no officer who had
not at least an equal rank with himself. Morillo
thought proper to suppose his own advancement ;
announced to the Government afterwards the conquest
he had made, the artifice he was forced to aJopt,
and received the commission of the rank of which he
was forced to take the decorations, for the purpo,e of
entering Vigo. This incident made him Colonel )
his services alone have since made hint Brigadier,
sand General.
From militia without experience, he succeeded in
forming an excellent regiment, which took the name
•of the Regiment of the Union, and with which, in
1809, be assisted the Marquis de la Romans to re-
pulse Marshal Ney from the bodge of San Payo.
Sent, in 1811, to Andalusia, he bad several en-
gagements with the French, in which he was less for-
tunate than he had been in Galicia: defeated again
on the 16th. June by General Treillard, in Estrelera-
dura, he took possession, in June, 1813, ofthe heights
of La Puebla d'Arlanzon. He was afterwards driven
from these frontiers, and wounded in the action; but
at the end of the same year lie effaced his reverses at
the action of Santa _Fe, and distinguished himself
above all by that determined-coolness and 'calm in-
trepidity'whieli never .aliandoned bitn.in danger.
In 1815, Ferdinand appninled• him-Lieutenant
neral of his arthies, and Co mender -of the expedi-
tion which then set-out. for the colonies. This was
placing him on-it new thbatre, and. in a new career.
Hit business was no longer to.repel a foreign . con•
queror by means of a people desirous-of maintaining
their ancient independence, but to bring again mid&
a detested yoke natilns :hat had altexcly burst their
chains asunder. The attempt was crual—the suc-
cess was impossible. In vain did Morillo, on his :u-
-rival, take poste;sion .of Cartlingena, the seat of the
insurgent authorities, disperse their troops at Cachiri,
Ind take possession of the whole of Terra Firma ; he
failed in the attempt on Buenos Ayres, and haJ soon
to contend painfully with the powerful genius that
defended Ametican liberty, the illustrious Bolivar.
Conqueror or conquered, these two men were inces-
santly opposed to each other, either by their valour
hi the field of their skill in the combinations of war.
In 1817, The Colombian hero took decidedly the
offensive; but he was forced' to yield the victory to
the Spanish General at Pampator, who was.defeated
in his turn at Calaboco, and forced to open his way,
sword in hand. Morillo• was again defeated, and
having been dangeTously wounded at Coro, ended
his campaign in the New World. He proposed an ar-
mistice in 1819, and in 1820 returned to Europe.
• Appointed on his return Captain-General of New
Castile, he shewedids this occasion that he was desir-
ous of the esteem of the Constitutionalists. Invited
on- the 7th July, he put. himself at the head of the
guards in rebellion at the Prado; he could not per-
suade.them to lay-down their arms ; but after trying
every means of conciliation, he mounted his horse, and
charged them at the head of several squadrons. He
:hewed on this occasion as much loyalty•as wisdoni.
However, it was on account of this vet y conspiracy,
and some private circumstances attending it, or rather
the prejudice arising from his services abroad, that
he became suspected. Having retired to- lastretria-
aura, he demanded a trial; but he received an Invita-
tion to come to Madrid, • and every suspicion •having.
been dissipated, he was called to take .thecotrunaild
of the second army of reserve.' •
Great talents for resource, and immovahle, firmness
of character, have placed General Morillo in the rank
of great Captains.: Rising from an (Agana link, his
life has been illustrious. _ Prudent with courage, and
bLave with discernment, it is always in the most de-
cisive moments that he is been to raise up theboldpisi
of Iris men by his-own example, and throw hinsiClf
like a sqldiei into the heart of battle. We are too far
