prints in which we place much conf.

feelings of the moment, aud the parti.

ueighbors, to cloud their better iudg-
meut.
We have no official information that
France has not fulfilled her promise ;
the last information of an authentic ma /.
ture was of different tenor. We
have, indeed, seen several unfavorable
reports OF captains of vessels arrived
from France but even supposing that
they were entitled to full credit, which
we do not allow, they can furnish no
data on which the government could
act. Why are we then called upon to
change our attitude Shall we, like
chat before the wind, be driven about
by every breeze which WATTS rumor

seal upon the charge of instability
which cavillers make against our form
of government Shall we subject
ourselves to be classed with those ma

by perseverance in the performance
ofour share OF the compact with France
until we have certainty of its viola

bic as nothing could be found in the
country, and every days march IN
creasing the distance from the maya
gazines on the Tagus, rendered the
supply OF the troops more difficult and
precarious and the further advance of
the main body for few days did not
appear TO be necessary.
The Cavalry and light troops CONT

to take prisoners; and the militia un-
der colonel Wilson had an afia with
a detachment ofthc enemy, on the 22d,
not far from Celorico, in which they
killed seven aud wounded several, and
took fifteen prisoners. The Militia
undrr Geaeral Silveira also took some
prisoners on the 25th.
The enemy retired his left, the Cd

of the army by the high road upon

more troops upon Guarda, which po-
