FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS. •

season of the year, we cannot but pity the fate of the
English soldiers. The frantic, ignprantoar criminal
men, who have thrown so many brave fellows into
certain danger, deserve not only their animachtqcdon,
but that of the generous of all countries.

The Moniker of the 9th October contains some
marks, in the shape of notes on the observations of an
:English paper, of 13th ult. relative to the conduct of
Lord Wellington in Spain.
nsietisa TaPaa.—We have said, that in a raili7ary point of
-View, the movements of Lord Wellington were regulated by his
own choice.
. NOTE OF THE MOVITEUE.."-LOrd Wellington has
. been very .fortunate to reach the banks of the Tagus,
to be able to cover hiniself by this liver, and thus
escape total destruction ; but that his retreat was—
s, regulated by his own choice," is a thing which can
only be said in England, and will be believed nowhere.
—.Why then did not Lord Wellington retire by Pia-
• centia, where his magazines were ? Why at least did
'he not pass. the Tagus over the bridge of. Almaraz ?
'Why did he pass that river •by the bridge of Arzo-
tsispo, whence
,be made his retreat over diiliCult
•mountains and.by scarcely practicable roads.? Cer-
• tainly such a retreat as that could not be a voluntary
• tetreat?—and Lord Wellington, unleis we suppose
him actually insane, could nothave taken that direc-
tion of his own choice.
= • Lord Wellington preserved, duties ten days, a position, in
which the French troops, had they thought themselves strong
• enough, might have attacked our army, and left ft ao caller means
• if escaping but victory.
Nom—This is a very singular assertion, when,
according to the noble custom of the English, Lord
Wellington had abandoned the army of Cuesta, who
had been beaten on the Tagus, and lost 35 pieces of
cannon and all his ammunition.
The writer asks why the French did not pursue
the English. army ?—They did pursue it, for they
.• came up with the rear-guard. This rear-guard, it is
true, was composed only of the troops of Cuesta—
but they were there as allied troops, and made part
of the pursued army. The French, too, destroyed
that portion of this army which they overtook. Two
things certainly result this—first, that the rear-
guard of Lord Wellington was destroyed ; and, se-
slomily, that Lord Wellington having to give the post
of honour either to the English troops or those Spa-
niards of whom he speaks so ill, determined in favour
of the Spanish troops.
The post of honour in an army is that which is
nearest the enemy. When Francis I. sent to re-de-
mand the sword of Constable from the Constable
Bourbon, the latter replied—" The King took,it
from me on the day when he gave the command of
the advanced guard to the Duke of Alencon."—s
Lord Wellington had not the same sentiments with
the brave Chevaliers of those times. • He does not
. pique himself on keeping for himself the post of hos
nour, he gives it up to his allies.
. The lit-club, after having beaten his rear-guard,
might have entered Portugal, but they did not wish
it, because it was then the month of August, because
the climate is fatal at that season—because only mad-
men, such as those who direct the English Govern-
ment, would, in the months of August and Septem-
ber, expose an army to perish in the marshesof Wal-
cheren, or in the sands of gstramadura,
IN CLASH PA PVt.—lt is certain that he was deceived is his ex-
pecatica of finiing previsions and means if conveyance. The
charge of want of foresight made against Lord Wellington falls
of itself.
NoTr.—The pretext of wanting provisions is al-
ways the excuse of Generals who are beaten ; or
.who are rendered unable to attempt any thing.—
Would not one suppose Lord Wellington comman-
ded an army of COO,OOO infantry and 40,000 cavalry,
—When a General bas an army so considerable, the
prowling of provisions may give him some trouble,
but cannot absolutely stop his progress. Can it be
believed that an atmy of '26AM men could not find
subsistence in a country where towns are so numer-
ous? Such an army is only a strong division which
a single town of Spain could maintain fortwousantlis.
Besides, if Lord Wellington was uneasy with respect
to the subsistence of his army, why did he 41-amiss's
his magazines His line of operation and his magas
tines were upon and at Placentia. Why did he suf-
fer Placentia to be taken ? Why !—because this Ge-
neral of Sepoys had the imprudence to advance to the
very middle of Spain, without knowing either what
force was before him or what upon his flanks. We
see by his dispatches, that he sometimes believed that
the Duke of Dalmatia had irst 8003 men, and some-
times that he had 16,000. Under these fake suppo-
sitions, he bad proposed to divide his forces to go
and attack the Duke of Dalmatia, when all on a sud-
den, and too late, he learned that this same Duke
was advancing upon him with a corps of sixty thou,
sand men. He then fled in the utmost haste, and he
was in the right. Had he been amused at Talavera
instead of being attacked, and had not particular and
local circumstances permitted him to pass the Tagus,
and escape by sacrificing the corps which he left be-
hind him, not a soldier of his army would have again
seen England. If ever there. was a General wanting
foresight, it is cettainlf Lord Wellington. If he
should long command the English armies, we may
flatter ourselves with obtaining great advantage
from the brilliant combinations at a General so inex-
perienced in the trade of war.

the rest of the Cabinet Ministers present, and Sir D.
Dtivrmq.

he Hon W. POLE and Mr. CROKER kissed hands
yesterday, at the Levee, on receiving their new ap-
pointments ; but Mr. R. DUNDAS was not present.
Yesterday the Marquis of TrirtirtEx.r. visited Mr.
CANNING, at his bottle at Giouceter-lodge.

EARL CAMbXN'S STATZIENT.

As it may be infared, from a StateinentWhlth has
appeared in the public Papers, that Loh! CAMDEN
withheld from Lord Casmannann a communica-
tion which he had been desired to make to him, it
is necessary that it should be understood, that how-
ever Mr. CANNING might have conceived the com-
munication alluded to to have been made to Lord
CAMDEN) it was never stated to Lord CAMDEN
that the communication was made at the desire of
Mr. CANNING; and, that so far from Lord CAM-
bEN having been authorized to make the commnnica-
tion to Lord CASTLEREAGH; he was absolutely restric-
ted from so doing.

As it may also be inferred, that Lord CAMDEN was
expected to prepare Lord CASTLEREAGH'S mind for
any proposed change, it is necessary that it should be
understood that L, r.l CAMDEN
.never engaged to
communicate to Lord CASTLEREAGH any circutn.
stances respecting it before the termination of the ex.
pedition.

THE ARMY.

The 51st Regiment has left Berry-head Barracks,
Mid embarked for Portsmouth.

•By the Lisbon Mail of yesterday we received let-
teks from several Military Correspondents, now with
Lord WELLlNcros's Army in Spain. They describe
the troops as being in high health and spirits. The
wounded were recovering Last, and detachments of
convalescents were daily arriving at the head-quarters
from Elvas, to , which place they had been sent for
recovery.
It was reported at head-quarters (Badajos) when
the above letters came away, that Lord WELLINGTON
intended marching to attack SOULT at Rodrigo, in
Leon. His Lordship, in the Mean time, was ex-
pected at Lisbon for a few days, to make some ar-
rangements for the further supply of his gallant army
with ptovisions and stores.

After the memorable battle of Talavera, the French
standard taken by the 29th Regiment during the
heat of action, was presented to Sir ARTHUR WEL.
ittrAY. Nett day h was returned, with the following
handsome letter from the Adjutant-General, addressed
to the Commanding Officer :

" Talavera, July so, 1809.
" have presented the French Standard taken by the
29th Regiment, on the 28th insitibt, to the Commander of the
Forte!, ant I am directed by his &eater" to return it to yon,
that it may remain in possession of the 29th Regiment, as a
testimonial of their gallant conduct.
" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your obedient Servant,
" CHARLES STCWALT, Adj. Gen."

The charge made ley the Ist Battalion 48th Regi-
ment, on the right of the Hill, in the battle of Ta-
lavera, drove the enemy's advancing column with
great slaughter into their own lines—this closed the
business of the 28th. On returning from the
charge, the Commander in Chief sent a Staff Officer
to desire th it Major MIDDLEMORE (Colonel DeNELAN
was previously wounded) would return his thanks to
i.ne Regiment for their steady and gallant conduct.—
The men received the thanks of their Commander
with three Oleers, and exclaimed, that on the strength
of it they would give them another charge, but un-
fortunately they had not another opportunity, the
French having retreated.
The transport, No. 2.5, arrived yesterday at Yar.
mouth, and has brought from Middlcburgh 97 sick
soldiers, who have been landed aid sent into the
hospital : very few deaths have happened among
the troops brought from Flushing, in that hospital,
which is attributed to the care and attention of the
Medical Gentleman at Yarmouth.

Yesterday Major-General 'Minims reviewed the
Inverness Regiment of Militia, under the command
of Major Tou.ocu, at Portsmouth : the Regiment
went through the different manccuvres in a very su-
perior stile.

The whole of the troops in the Portsmouth district
arc to assemble.on South Sea Common, on the 25th,
to celebrate the Jubilee. They consist of the Royal
Artillery, German Artillery, Worcester, Renfrew,
Du:ham, Ross-shire, Inverness, 3d Lancashire, Ox-
fordshire and Leicestcrbhire Regiments of Militia—
The Volunteers in the district are also inviboid to make
their appearance on the occasion.

In consequence of the unfortunate differences sub-
sisting between the army on the Madras Establish.
ment and the Civil Government of that Presidency,
it has been determined, we understand, to remove
all the refractory reginients, and to sn'mtitute others.
—The regiments of the line will be brought to Eu-
rope.

All‘the signal stations and Martello towers on the
Irish coast, from Wexford to Arklow, have been dis-
mantled, and the stores and instruments, &c. apper-
taining thereto, have been recently sold, by order of
Government.

Very strong fortifications, connected with the old
lines at the gun-wharf; Plymouth Dock, are erecting
1 for a considerable distance. An elegant mansion,
with suitable offices, is also building for the residence
of the Port-Admiral ; and a large depot is forming on
I a neck of land called Devil's Point, for the sole pur-
-1 pose of storing bombs, carcases, shells, rockets, and
other destructive implements of war.

Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East•lndia
House, for the Election of a Director in the room of
Jinni Teavatts, Esq. deceased. At siz o'clock the
glasses were finally dosed, and deliverad ap the scru-
tineers, who reported the nothhers to herb how

PLYMOUTH and PLYMOUTH-DOCK, OCTOBER 17.
Came in the Tunis, Captain JOHNSON, and the
Mary, Capt. TEAGUE, from Cork, with provisions
for this port ; l'lncotnparable French schooner priva-
teer, of 14 guns and 163 men, Capt. J. BLANCIIETT,
from St. Makes, on a cruise ; captured by his Ma-
jesty's ship EMERALD, of 36 guns, Capt. MAITLAND,
the Bth instant, in lat. 48. long. 10. W. out four days

Arrived the ENDEAVOUR hired brig, with a convoy

Constantinople and Malta; she left the latter place
on the 28th August, add on the 11th inst.. detained a

tine ; also the ECLIPSE sloop of war, from the Lee-
ward Islands.—Sailed the ALBICORE sloop of war,
for Jersey ; and the PLOVER sloop of war, on a cruise.
This forenoon a fleet of merchant ships passed up
Channel, supposed to be the Mediterranean convoy,
under the SPARTIATE, but they were too far off to
make any signal. The Hero privateer of this port,
has taken and sent in a French lugger ; she has also
taken three other vessels, not yet arrived.
A shocking accident occurred on Sunday night, on
board the MARINER gun brig, which is stationed be-
tween the Island and the Main : s Five of the men be-
longing to her, wishing to procure a light after the
fires were out, adopted the too common custom of
shaking a small quantity of gunpowder from a horn
into the pan of a pistol ; when the man who htld
the horn, not having taken the precaution of closing
the lid of the born, it exploded in the midst of them,
and cut and disfigured their faces in a dreadful man-
, ner : it is imagined that three of them will lose their
sight ; indeed their recovery is extremely doubtful.
