King Messenger, who sailed from Plymouth

Is ruriorcd at the port whence the vessel
sailed, that " those dispatches contain or

British; the last dispatches from Marquis
Wellesley, Mr.. Frere and Lord Wellington,

means of Knowing, but the measure il, in
our opinion, just such one as ought to be
adopted IN the present crisis. Britain has
made exertions which ought to have been

Spain, had the Spanish government called
