SIR JOHN MOORE'S LAST DISPATCH.

The following is an extract from the last letter of
the late Sir JonNr MooRE, laid on the table of the
House of Commons ; the subject of so much con-
versation, and ultimately voted on the motion of Mr.
WHITBREAD :

" Corunna, January 13.
" Situated as this army is at present, it is impos-
sible for me to detail to your Lordship the events
which have taken place since I had the honour to ad-
dress you from Astorga, on the 31st of December :
I have therefore determined to send to England Bri-
gadier-General Charles Stewart, as the Officer best
qualified to give you every information you can want,
both in respect to our actual situation and the events
which have led to it.

" Your Lordship knows, that had I followed my
own opinion, as a military man, I should have retired
with the army from Salamanca. The Spanish ar-
mies were then beaten ; there was no Spanish force
to which we could unite; and I was satisfied that no
efforts would be made to aid us, or to favour the cause
in which they were engaged.

,g I was sensible, however, that the apathy and in-
difference of the Spaniards would never have been
believed ; that had the British been withdrawn, the
loss of the cause would have been imputed to their
retreat, and it was necessary to risk this army to con-
vince the people of England, as well as the rest of
Europe, that the Spaniards had neither the power
nor the inclination to make any efforts for themselves.
It was for this reason that I made the march to Saha-
gan. As a diversion it succeeded : I brought the
whole disposable force of the French against this
army, and it has been allowed to follow me, without
a single movement being made to favour my retreat.
" The people of the Gallicias, though armed,
made no attempt to stop the passage of the French
through the mountains. They abandoned their dwel-
lings at our approach, drove away their carts, oxen,
and every thing that could be of the smallest aid to
the army. The consequence has been, that our sick
have been left behind; and when our horses or mules
failed, which on such marches, and through such a
country, was the case to a great extent, baggage,
ammunition, stores, &c. and even money, were ne-
cessarily destroyed or abandoned.
4, I am sorry to say, that the army, whose conduct
I had such reason to extol on its march through Por.
tugal, and on its arrival in Spain, has totally changed
its character since it began to retreat. I can say no-
thing in its favour, but that when there was a prospect
of fighting the enemy, the men were then orderly,
and seemed pleased and determined to do their duty.
In front of Villa Franca, the French came up with
the reserve, with which I was covering the retreat of
the army ; they attacked it at Calcabellos. I retired,
covered by the 95th regiment, and marched that
night to Herresias, and from thence to Nogales and
Lugo, where I had ordered the different divisions
which preceded, to halt and collect. At Lugo, the
French again came up with us. They attacked our
advanced posts on the 6th and 7th, and were repulsed
in both attempts, with little loss on our side. I heard
from the prisoners taken, that three divisions of the
French army were come up, commanded by Marshal
Soult ; I therefore expected to be attacked on the
morning of the Bth. It was my wish to come to that
issue : I had perfect confidence in the valour of the
troops, and it was only by crippling the enemy that
we could hope either to retreat or to embark unmo-
lested. I made every preparation to receive the at-
tack, and drew out the army in the morning to offer
battle. This was not Marshal Soult's object. He
either did not think himself sufficiently strong, or he
wished to play a surer game by attacking us on our
march, or during our embarkation. The country
was intersected, and his position too strong for me to
attack with an inferior force. The want of provisions
would not enable me to wait longer, I marched that
night ; and in two forced marches, and by b;vouacingi
for six or eight hours in the rain, I reached Betanzos
on the 10th inst.

,4 At Lugo, I was sensible of the impossibility of
reaching Vigo, which was at too great a distance,
and offered no advantages to embark in the face of
the enemy. My intention was then to have retreated
to the peninsula of Betanzos, where I hoped to find
a position to cover the embarkation of the army in
Ares or Redes Bays ; but having sent an officer to
reconnoitre it, by his report I was determined to pre-
fer this place. I gave notice to the Admiral of my
intention, and begged that the transports might be
brought to Corunna ; had I found them here on my
arrival on the 11th, the embarkation would easily have
been effected, for I had gained several marches on
the French. They have now come up with us; the
transports are not arrived ; my position in front of this
place is a very bad one; and this place, if I am forced
to retire into it, is commanded within musket-shot,
and the harbour will be so commandeded by the can-
non on the coast, that no ship will be able to lay
in it. In short, my Lord, General STEWART will
inform you how critical our situation is. It has been
recommended to me to make a proposal to the enemy
to induce him to allow us to embark quietly ; in
which case he gets us out of the country soon, and
this place, with its stores, &c. complete ; that other-
wise, we have the power to make a long defence,
which must cause the destruction of the town. lam
averse to make any such proposal, and am excee-
dingly doubtful if it would be attended with any good
effect ; but whatever I resolve on this head, I hope
your Lordship will rest assured, that I shall accept
no terms that are in the least dishonourable to the
army or to the country. I find I have been led into
greater length, and more detail, than I thought I
should have had time for—l have written under inter-
ruptions, and with my mind much occupied with
other matter. My letter, written so carelessly, can
only be considered as private. When I have more
leisure, I shall write more correctly ; in the mean
time, I rely on General STEWART for giving your
Lordship the information and detail which I have
omitted. I should regret his absence, for his services
have been very distinguished ; lout the state of his eyes
makes it impossible for him to serve, and this country
is not one in which cavalry can be of much use. If
I succeed in embarking the army, I shall send it to
England ; it is quite unfit for further service until it
has been refitted, which can best be done there.

41 JOHN MOORE."

LE777:1?

TO SOHN JULIUS ANGLIISTUN, ESQ. CHAIRMAN Cl' AMR,
THELLUSSON'SCOMMITTEE, CITY Or LONDON TAV:SIiN.
SIR, Immion, 6th April, lac,9.

On my arrival in Town this evening, I see, with as
much satisfaction as I am capable of feeling, your
name to an Address in favour of Mr. G. W. TIIEL-
LUSSON ; I am therefore emboldened to trouble you
with this letter, not only from that circumstance, but
as the severe probity of your own conduct, and the
mercy with which you view the failings of others,
will enable you best to appreciate the integrity of my
Cousin's conduct, and the remorse I at this moment
feel, at the situation to which my offences have re-
duced him.

I shall not enlarge much on my original miscon.
duct, or whether a hitherto avowed and well-known
practice, or the intentions under which I have acted,
are excuses or not. Invested with no public charge,
in the kindness of private friendship, I may seek some
consolation from public censure. My business, by
this Address, is to confirm you in the consideration
you have had of my cousin's conduct, and to satisfy
you, sir, that neither diratly or indirectly, did he know
or participate in any part of the Abuses that have
been committed ; that he is not even guilty of negli-
gence, or want of due precaution, in attending to my
recommendation ; and as the Report of the Committee
of the House of Commons does not contain my vo-
luntary confession, I think it right that you should
know in what manner I obtained from my Cousin the
Writerships he give me.
The first Bengal Writership, that in favour of Mr.,
SMITH, I obtained from him, on the plea of a wish to
oblige Mr. SMITH, but really with a view to a Politi-
cal Advantage, to result to myself alone, in no respect
of a pecuniary nature ; and such a Treaty was actu-
ally commenced, although, on its failure, I accepted
retribution in money.
The second Bengal Writership l obtained unequi-
vocally on the representation that I wanted to oblige
my old friend, Sir W. JAMES JAMES, and so it stands
in the Papers of the East India Company.
The Madras Writership I obtained in consequence
of obliging a Friend of Mr. G. T. with a sivation in
Ceylon, which was resigned by the person who held
it, at my request.
__

I am to state, that in all and every instance, Mr.
G. THELLUSSON was particularly inquisitive as to the
qualities of the persons recommended ; and they have
all uniformly proved to be, both from Intelligence,
Connection, Talent, and Education, such as were emi-
nently qualified for the situations that they filled ;
and one of them at least has, on these accounts, been
recommended by his superiors to the particular at-
tention of the Directors.

This statement, Sir, I am willing, if necessary, to
verify upon oath, if oath can add solemnity to the
solemn assurance I give you ; and I trust, Sir, that in
whatever light my conduct may be viewed, I may
yet rank with those, who, though they may not have
the virtue to abstain from bad actions, have yet too
much pride to palliate them by a falsehood. To.
wards others, Sir, Mr. G. THELLUSSON might have
acted with more caution; he might have scrutinized
more deeply their motives ; towards one, who stood
in the near relation that I did, the companion from
his youth, the friend of his most confidential moments,
the adopted son of his father, a person whose situation
in life, whose friendship and connections, placed him
above suspicion, such examination must have ap-
peared as superfluous as it would have been degradiog
and offensive.

Excuse me, Sir, if in what I have written, I have
adopted no penitentiary expressions—solicited no
pity ; I have been speaking of my own conduct only
as it relates to him ; I have been endeavouring to jus-
tify a person I conceive and know to be highly in-
jured--what are my feelings, my unhappiness, anti
my remorse, at seeing this effect of my misconduct,
are only to be imagined by those who see, like me,
their Offences punished, not on themselves, but on
the person whose confidence they have abused.
I must also add, that a sense of Justice alone dic-
tates this Letter. The hostility betwixt Mr. G.
THELLUSSON and my self, previous to the disclosure of
these Transactions, was such as no circumstances
could easily have healed, and which these are not
likely to conciliate.

I beg, Sir, that no feeling towards me may induce
you to suppress this Letter ; shame may be my por-
tion, but your kindness towards my Cousin may yet
save me some remorse. R. J. A. WOODFORD.

MR. TIIELLUSON'S COMMITTEE ROOM.
City of London Tavern, April 10,1809.
_

The Evidence respecting those abuses of Mr. TO F.L LUSSON's
patronage which are at present the occasion of so much unmerited
prejudice against that Gentleman, will; this day, be printed and
submitted to the Proprietors of East India Stock, and it is very
material that those Proprietors who are anxious to do justice on
this occasion should remark, that these abuses did, in fact, prin-
cipally by the voluntary acts of Mr. TueLLossoN, both in the
House of Commons and before the Committee of the House, be-
come matter of Inquiry. The Committee report that "they be-
e gan their investigation by examining into a case brought hfire
“ than by GEORGE Wooorolo Tirs:Lt.ussost, Esq. a member
" of the House, in which his patronage and confidence appear to
" have been grossly abused." But it is most essential that the
Proprietors should know (and Mr. Tu Lu sso sa's Committee
have the authority of Mr. BA N K Es, the Chairman of the Com*
rnittee of the House of Commons for the fact) that the two fol-
lowing passages of the Report were, after a full investigation of
the evidence, passed imorisnously :

Ist. " It is a satisfaction to your Cammittee, t hroughnut the
" whole evidence, to remark nothing which traces any one of tho m
" corrupt or improper Garvin: to any Director, or induces a rears-
" able suspicion, that it was done with the privity or connivonce
" of any Member of that Court."

" " The azth taken by the Directors seems as effectual as any
thing which can be devi.ed for the purpose of guarding against
" Corruption, so tar as the Directory themselves are initnedi-
" ately concerned ; and your Committee have already remarked,
" that no one case of corruption or abase, which has been before
" them, affects amy Member of that Court."

Let the Proprietors, while they thems.-Ives consult the evi-
dence, recollect these facts. It would he extraordinary indeed,
if the very same evidence, when read, should upon a question so ma.
terial to his interest and character, produce with the public ar.d
the Proprietors of East-India Stock, the condemnation of Mr.
Thellusson, which, when beard, effected upon the minds of an
impartial and intelligent Committee of the Hoti..e. of Commons,
an unanimous conviaiipie of his innocence.
