The following extract is from The Shrjfiehilhy
a paper greatly admired for its independence W
sound judgment :
64 But on the most promising view of the situ,
tion of Lord WSLLINGTON'S army, retreating like
the sea, roaring and returning indeed at every ebb,
yet still retreating, we cannot flatter our country
that he will long have the opportunity of Wine
her battles on foreign ground. Next season he
may have to meet on the soil of Britain the fey
Generals with whom be is now contending ea
terms so unequal; that victory itself is only re.
prievo from destruction. Neither the talents nor
the bravery of Lord WELLINGTON and the hero
under his command can be questioned ar thit
time. The enemy knows and dreads them, for he
has repeatedly felt, and fled from them ; but in the
present state of the Peninsula there is a steady ands
fatal progress in the march of the invaders, sustain.
ed by an overwhelming superiority of numbers,
• which is merely ckecked step by step by all t hat genie;
and valou yin the part of the British can pelf im led
which we fear can only be stayed, in the last tro.
mity, till our gallant countrymen embark for their
native shore; there to wage ere long
a worthier or.
fare with a foe to whom the Continent f Eur'l4
seems to be given up as a prey, hut to whom tbm
Island, we are confident, will never ha gine!,
while there remains a drop of blood in the veto
of the last Luglishman. Yet why should we se•
ticipate this last struggle ? There 0 a helz's
forlorn hope indeed—that Lord Wel.r.reovosi
by another victory; may yet save Portugal for any
thee campaign. But should MASSENA be 01
foiled and repelled; BoNAr tRTE himself will retien
into the Peninsula, and unless the hour of his hue
liation overtake him more suddenly than can be
expected, Spain and Portugal must sink before
him, and twilight may as well contend with dart..
ness on a December evening, as a rCMllallt of Bri•
tish soldiers;in a country so halfahearted, stabs"'d
the whole force of France; led on by the most tot.
! rible being that ever wore a human form."
