At Corona and Hostalrich he halted, and
in those situations he is waiting for large
convoy, OF which he is to secure the transit
to barcelona. AT Lerida. we are told in the

that this must be misrepresentation.

Among the other evils we are led TO Dire ad
| m the event of a change of ministry, Is the
| abandonment of our allies in Spain and Por
tugal, from a puslllahimous feeling the OPP
position possess of the inutility of resisting
Bunaparte. The Morning Chronicle IS al
ready laying grounds for Withdrawing lord
Wellington and his brave victorious army,
which has gained US more glory and sub
| stantial advantage which has checked the
enemy more ehectually even in his great
eff rts than any other British army has done
since the accession of Bonaparte to supreme
authority. That paper of Monday says,
" we have 20 dread the waste OF money in
maintaining our army ill spring, md we
wish we could trHly say that the expsnce
could be borne for two months without the
l.
lingfon has assured ministers he could beat
the French, but al an expence of Is 900 En-
| glib lives, which ministers truly said our re-
sources could not afford. 1.-THE state of our
! population be such that we cannot afford the
| loss OF lives necessary to ensure victory,
what must follow even from a successful
battle and what right have we to engage in
such enterprises"
| Such was the language of the Party Ca
zttte on Monday last. A refutaton of the
falsehoods, or an exposure of the malice, alb
surdity, and criminal dastardIiness Of its rea
soning, is within the compass Of the under
standing and knowledge of any man. We
shall not therefore occupy space in the
task but it is of great importance to oh
serve the spirit, the views of our Governors
that are to be; how eager they are to de-
sert our best interests, and basely to sub
NIT their necks to the yoke of the enemy.
