If Lord Wst.ta MOTOR, with a force reduced lit-
low 90,000, it yet eacbte to resume offensive
'operations, what, in .the name of Hessen, will
ha his system of operations, whets 106,000 French
,troops ahati have roiaforced those armies against
which he ‘l4fttiOt now act. That our army must

We trust that the Walcheren Expedition will
'te permitted to form the climax of that puerility
ihich has so illustriously distinguished our Mi.
nisters. In the hope expressed in the Amster-
dam Gaxtta Extraordinary, that. the Peace
'between France and AuStria may finally lead to
a General Pzies, we sincerely concur. We
certainly think and expect, that it will lead to
la general and permanent pacification.

ller Ms.rEstv and the Princess ELISAIMEI
yesterday went to Frugmore, to inspect the works
gying.ou preparatory to the grand fele which her
MAJESTY O ill give there on the Jubilee.
On Thursday the Duke of lon arrived at
Windsor, on his journey to Weymouth.
Mr. Shedd' Wows received the following letter
from Lord LIVERPOOL, his Majesty's Secretary
of State, yesterday, while visiting the prisoners
in Newgate:—
eg Friday, Oetoeer 40, poe.
" Lord 1.1 v ER POOL preseets his complisteots to the Sheriff's
of London and Middlesex. Ile has laid the petition of the
prisoners connived in Nevrgaie before the lEssin. Lord Li-
v Karoo'. ii very sorry to be under the necessity of stating,
that comidering all the circumstances of the CAC, and the
extent to which the principle, it admitted, must unavoidably
be carri-d, it watild not be c msktent with the penile inte-
rest for his Majesty's tioverwnent to recommend to his
Maje4_v to actrife to the prayer of the said petition.
" White ital I, 19th October, 1899."
Upon the faith of the arrangement concluded
between Mr. Erskine and the Government of the
United States, upwards of 120 American vessek
arrived in the port of Landon. More than sixty
of these have lately sailed fir America, and not so
many as ten have carried out British matinfietures,
and these to a very inconsiderable amount. The
rest have sailed in ballast.
An Irish wit, on being asked his opinion of our
fashionable Belles, replied, " that when he saw
any of them dressed remarkably tiglit, he was apt
to think they were loose."
' The idea's& sinking so:nc of our hulks in the
Srlicifilt, is veer properly given up. We think
the old wood applied to home•consiimptiors would
be infinitely better employed, and certainly torn
out a more profitable desideratum at many a fire-
side during the ensuing winter.

ArI'ENTION TO THISIR,
BRAVE. DELIVERERS.
To those who believe the French to be utterly
destitute of humanity, we recommend the pernsal
a the following letter, which is not more illustra-
tive of the manly attention of the Frofeh, than of
thegreat ajfeetion and tendernexs of the" universal
Spanish Nation" fur their deliteran. We repeat
what we over and over again have mtprened, and.
what we have much mere frequeutly -heard, that
the people of the Peninsula are more averse to
our company tbau to that of oven the French.
True florid Esians of a Civic Feats on the enthu.
01 the 1" universal Spanish• Nation," and
the,rktiverance of their beloved Ferdinand the
Seventh; are now no louder tolerable. Whore
are we too look for the enthasium of this uni..
rersnl notion, which requires the compulsion of
their Inz;adit s to induce them to afford the onli.
nary ,altuall'Uns or humanity to their bare Deli.
rercis? it really is high time to have dune with
this nonsense, which is fit only for that society
where it originated, a Civic f'eurt.
" TALAVERA LA REAL, SEPT. 19.
Et I am Not able to tarnish you tt ith the least stews front
this quarter, not even our destination for to-nioirow ; though
believe it is probahie the army nil/ remain here some time
longer, and en ow-quitting this ground, it seems quite uncer-
tain amongst the lower circlet, whether we are to retire or
idvance. lam sorry to say that fatigue and sickens have
much diminished our force sirce the action of l'alavera, and
inn lola h. the surgeon of a re,:inient, that many men in the
hospital have il.ed, and cominue to die, merely from the,
weakiles, owino: to the fatigue they bare nodergune. These
poor felluns are obliged to lie on the brick floors (fur I have
not seen a n niden door since we base been in ltpain), with-
out nay exerpt.their real:went/it clothing to cover them,
not even a 'tied or blanket.
