1658, in the contest between rortugal and Spain, the t
Portuguese troops laid siege to it for four moeths,
but were finally compelled to abandon the siege. In
1703, in the memorable succession war, the English
General, at the head *of-the combined army of Eng-
lish, Dutch, and Portuguese troops, also laid siege
•to Badajos, but abandoned it after being before it
fourteen days. In the last year Soult, certaiuly a
very able officer, commenced the siege of Badajos
on the 3d of February, and took it after a siege of
tidily-six days. Lord Wellington also laid siege to
it in the course of the same year ; but in consequence
of the efforts made to relieve it by the enemy, who
brought up a•large army from different quarters, it
was thought. more prudent by Lord Wellington to
decline the further prosecution. f the siege, particu
larly as the climate at that season of the year would
have been highly injurious to the health of our troops.
Ile now came to the event more immediately wader
I their Lordships' consideration, and he was satisfied
I that whether the great importance of the achieve-
ment was emisidered, or the nature of the effort made
to effect it, there must be a general concurrence iu

ed in the siege.—There could not be a stronger
