PAPERS RELATIVE. TO SPAIN AND
► PORTUGAL.
Extract from General Cvstra to M. de- CORN et, dated
head-quarters, Monitsterin, May 3, 1809-
" I have ret rived to-day a very polite and attentive an-
swer from Sir A. Wellesley, diktat Vilta Franca the 29th
by which he appears determined to march with nearly
the whole of his force against M. Snult, at Oporto, consisting
of aboul t n eat v thousand infantry and fuer thomand cavalry
(for which place he was already on his march), besides the
Poriuguise army, amounting to something less.
" 'Phis operation completed, hr has great hopes of making
the French retire from thence ; anti coining afterwards with
bis troops towards Elvin. to act in concert with me, and drive
the enemy from Estremadarn. By this I see that he had only
in view the driving the French front Portugal towards the
Mieho, by which operatiori we should gain little or nothing
for Souk would retuni and shim himself with the forces
which he has in Gallicia, and subject still more that kiegdoill.
without the peasantry or the Marquis of Roiagua being suffi-
cient to hioder it,
" it appears to me that the object of the English General
should be, to surround the French in Oporto, or place himself
hctween that city and the Miiiho' to hinder such. a retreat,
&insider* the superiority of the Allies, By this position
they would prevein else the arrivni df succours which Soult
may receive rpm Gailicia. I know not whether the observa-
tions which t purpose malting on this subject will arrive in
time, or if they do, whether they will have any effect. The
system of the British appears to be never ts expose their
.troops, owing to which they never • gain decisive actions by
land, and sacrifice those M continued retreats and preeminent,
as happened to General Moore, from not bating ;necked the
enemy in time at Salsagun and Placentia, beforethey were re-
infohreil. He speaks again of a camp of observation be-
tween Elves and Badajos, composed of a small detachment
from each place—so that the retreat of neither could be cut
off by the enemy. Ido not see the utility of this, especially
for us ; this small corps mot being able either to diserve or re,
list the enemy.
" In like manner he says that arigadier General Wilmin
hit- been destined, with the troops under his command, to the
hunk; of the I)uuro though he thinks the bridge of Ale:infant •
is of import:wee to Ise preserved, to which point he will seed
a corps of Portuguese troops, if ally capable of defending .it
can be formed l and he requests me to give orders at the
above place for the admission of whatever English or Portu-
guese troops may arrive there, to which I can see no ohjec-
lion, He wishes also to persuade ine not to undertake any
thing against Victor till he shall retti,n from his expediiion to
Oporto, in which ease he repeats that he wi l tome *two
upon Elves, and act iu concert ej th me to drive them 'out of
the province."

Extiact from Mr. Faint; to Sir A. WELLIBLEY, dated Se-
ville, July 8.
" There are circumstances. howeser, which make the de-
tachment of a part of the force :0 present united under the
orders of General Cuesta exceedingly desirable under auotber
point of view.
" It is a matter of general suspicion, and has been in for
some time past, that General Cues,* inelastic' some serious
plan of vengeauce, in resent.nent of the afmnts and disgusts
which heexperieuced about half a year ago un the part of
the Central Junta. The dispersion and ruin of General ilk lies
army has removed doe great obstacle to such it project 011
his part, and has increased•tbe alarm of those vino appree
headed it.
The army of General Venepas, it is thought, might be
depended'upon4-brit it Is much inferior in manlier. mid the
obvious retne4y seems to he, to detach from his army under
the command of some Chief, who might a. quire sufficient re-
putation and clinadence among the troops put wider his coat-
mend, to enable him to ;tali out against any violent measure
on the part of the Commander in Chief. I have remain to
apprehend that avant of the Janus, who would not velour, to
propose such a measure, which proccedieg from them in ibe
first instance, would appear .Aiviously to base originated in
political nal military views, would he very glad to have
some plan of the kind wine., I mentioned (viz. a separate
force detached from the main batty) raggerted to them*
you as a military plan, and that in that case they would vett-
lure to give orders for its 'vet-talon.
" General Veaegas liiinself does not appear possessed of
that militar; reputation, or commanding character, which
would be necessary to counterpoise a man of General Garaa .
authority and decided temper.
We have at this moment, by the concession of all the
world only two own who are capable of commanding even
a Mali body of troops in a milit.try manner—General Blake
and the Duke of Aibuqueraret ant they both of them bud
themselves without an army; Blake by a misfortune to which
it is impossible to attach any blame; and Albuquerque, by a
misfortune for whica he is still less accountable, that of hav-
ing given tonhralic to the Juata by the circonatances of his
birth and fortune, and of having excited the jealousy of Ge-
neral CAosta by his reputation and popularity among the
troops; motives which 1 fear may lead to' the sacrifice of
his reputation, and to the loss of his services to the public
cause.'t

't This retreat from St. (Halle filled all the troops with fear
and ilisconteitt; and I believe are to be attributed to it. tioe
IWIO4IaYS attnir4 we have experienced, suffering hunger, heat,
and the coniiised tire of the enemy. By the diviuv mercy,
however, we have succeeded in repulsii.g the enemy, who,
instead of attacking the right on the evening and night of
the 27th, attacked the kfs, occupied by a pas of the Eng- '
lists army, which, with charged bayonets, repulsed the ene•
my at night, who at first haAsuceee.led in getting possession
of the nearest heights. The General in Chief, upon seeing
them, ordered me logo to a hermitage in the neighbourhood
of the town, where it not only was impoisible fur the cavalry
to art, hat there was not even room for them. the neighbopr-
log country being very thickly wooded, Seeing the nature
of the pound, and at then/AM time that the enemy were
charging tee English with their whole force, who bad but
little cavalry, I hastened to support them, and arrived
so very oppnrtunely, that had I not been there. they would
have bed great (ideally in forming their line is the position

division never give me greater proofs of their confidence and
spirit than on this IitTAII*II4 supporting a brisk great the
enemy, which was °ray answered by two four-pounders hod

. " The General. perceiving the advantage of my 'anemone,
suffered me to choose my own ground, and I accordingly
chose the most advantageous spot, and the most threatened
by the enemy, being precisely that where were the English
Cavalry.
" The enemy, on the following day, renewed their attack,
criminally directing their chief force against the English.
with whom I had the satisfaction to cu-operate from the first
shot that was fired to the la-t. having supported three ctif
&rent attacks with an obstinacy hitherto unknown malt
these troop*.
" General Wellesley was greatly satisfied with Or conduct

to occupy a height which flanked our posilloa. and

he does not openly mention me, lest they should think he

Out of a bad argument. In my correspondence with M. de
