CONDUCT-OF BRITISH. SOLDIERS.
(From a London Paper OF Nov. 21st,
1s1Al
A CadE4paper, the Consico, some
time back contained a letter with the
name of the. writer, complaining that
the British troops, on the storming of
ST. Sebastian, had committed many
abonntnabLe acts. chiefly upon the un-
fortunate Spanish Inhabitants. We
did not copy the account because be
believe it was rather an exaggerated
picture and because we waited for
better authority. 1t does appear,
however that a portion OF the British
army has all along INDUCED itself in
acts of violence and infamy, not only
from private accounts, both Spanish
and English, but also from official
statements from the very highest au-
thority; and it is therefore quite RI
diculous to hear some people talk
about the uniform good conduct and
huIna nifty Of the British soldiers We
all recoIlect the celebrated general or
ders issued by the Marquis of Well
lington last year, when he was re-
treating before the French army The
noble commander gave 1t under his
own hand. that outragess such as he
had never even read of, had been
committed during the retreat, when
there was not the shadow of neces-
sity for such disgracefuI doings.-
Lord Wellington, we may be well as
siIred would not so have talked OF
his army, had he not the abundant
proof of the extreme grossness of its
behavior. And, now again. we learn
from the same undoubted and digni-
fed source, that similar proceedings
were committed under the eyes OF
even their officers.
with such facts before us 1t would
be quite idle to contend that British
soldiers are not. IN fact, just like all
other sold1ers, and though the Span
jsFl writer Ii the Consicos may have
given rather a high color to his pic
ture of the proceedings at St Sebas-
tian, yet that most. heartrending
scene was exhibited in that devoted
city, cannot, for a moment be doubt
ed
