that the decision of the Court would be Civ
en- on TUESDAY next. on this subject, which

DUBLIN, May 81.
This day we lay the whole of the London
Gazette E. extraordinary before cur readers.
Lord Wellington says. the. actions were
partial but severe, and our loss has been
great. The enemy has been defeated in
his attempts to relieve Almeida, and the
fortress has been iert to its fate. The ad
vantage has certainly resulted to us from
Inc actions g. Ensntos de Honor but we
must not forget that il has been gained by a
loss of l700 men. As a proud proof of Irish
valour, the result is also entitled to thanks
and praise but as a victory there is little
cause of JOY, AS at Busaco, the French have
been most gallantly repulsed. and the Bri
fish army has maintained its ground but
we, at the same tine, have the mortifcati-
Oil to learn. that the enemy are greatly su
perior particularly in cavalry, with this far.
Their advantage, that as we are withdra wing
from our resources, the enemy is falling back
upon theirs. The loss of the enemy is sta
ted, and we believe traly, as much greater
than ours but it must be obvious. that p
repetition OF such victories would. probably,
exhaust our army without attaining its OBJ
ject, viz. the expulsion of the French from
the Peninsula.

covered the Golden Fleece On the morning
