Salamanca, I onf ( having a perfect knowledge of Ihe game, and a that he had been led to a belief by false reports that Ihe allies were let* in ntimlier and strength than waa their actual (audition, and that under this fortunate error he perfect command of bis passion*, at once understood both hi* own play and tint of hi, advers :ry, and wailing till he bad nude one of those False move» which leave bad ariinllv persuaded himself that tiles were retreating : ,in irretrievable opening, uvaMcd himself of it iu the i.i terror of b in.This opinion of Marshal Marmonl\u2019a seems to have hern the flr.t and most immediate cause of the brilliant success which followed, as it appears lohave directly led him to tho-c errors of which Lord Wellington so ahly availed liimself.If Marmonl li.nl not ciiieiluiucd this belief of his ownnelual superiority in strength, he would have had no purpose in his attempt to interpose himself between his Lordship and Salamanca.Tlte interposition of a superior force, between an enemy and his place of defence and icfuge, is one of Ihe most frequent mid one of Ihe most succe»*ful elloi ls ol g-oeral-hip | it puis the enemy iu a coudiliou iu which tie is moment, and terminated ihe contest bv a blow.It i* another verv prominent feature in ihi*glorious action, that laird Wellington ha* followed it up with the tame promptitude an I spirit width he obtained it, and that the pursuit hasthe name character ami vigor with the battle.\u2014This I* an answer to another very frequent charge against our Kuglish army and Gem rail.It has bceu repeatedly objected to us, that if we obtain vie.lorie*, we know not how to reap the fruit of them,\u2014 we know not how to make the innst of them, and deem that every thing is dom when the enemy is repelled from ¦ lie field.In the battle of Salamanca, however, we have already hunted the enemy nearly from Ihe centre of ruined if heateu, his retreat and refuge being ell' dually ( Spain to the northern frontier, and it is not unreasonable cut of by a victorious rnem* in hiafronl.But the iu- in believ, that the next dispatches will bring the intel-trrposition of nn inferior nrmy has a totally

which nay General of moderate abilities has committed such u gros» her allies, oversight under circumstances in which he might almost have rerkoneil the number of Ihe enemy.The ignorance and raslincMi
