POLITIC4L EVENTS OF THE WEEK. BRITISH VICTORIES OVER THE tRENCH TROOPS. To-day we have the inexpressible satisfaction of being able to communicate the long-anticipated intelligence of a signal victory gained by our army in Portugal. Whatever way we contemplate this important occurrence, it affords us equal matter for exultation and pleasure. In the midst of those mingled sensations,. we felt no surprise, because the cool, determined, persevering valour of our soldiers was never dubious. This is one of those great, compre hensive events, which comes home to the bosom of every Briton ; and which will be is rapturously felt on the Shan non as on the Thames. Thanks, heartfelt, inexpressihe thanks to our army and their gallant Commander ! They have gloriously fulfilled the duties their country expected from them. She entrusted to them the sacred pledge of her glory and reputation ; and her confidence has not been' disappointed. . The vaunted impetuosity and tactical skill of the Gallic invincibles were unable to withstand the irres' sistible impulse of British patriotism, seconded by British bayonets. Distinguished warriors! worthy deiceiv!ants of the heroes.of Agincourt, Cressy, Blenheim, and Minden I You have gloriously begun a campaign, whose object is no less than the emancipation of Europe, from the unlit loath some and dangerous despotism, that ever scourged man kind. You have been sent to rescue the country of the most ancient, the most faithful of our Allies, from time fangs of the monsters who had been so long preying on their vi tots and after having finished this glorious achievement, you are hastening to co-operate with a distinguished peo ple, whose annals are only a recapitulation of victories; whose fields, whose mountains, whose cities, present eter nal monuments of success against the CartNagenians, Ro mans, and Moors. Whose sense of honour is equal to their bravery, and whose integrity is only rivalled by their pa triotism. When all Europe lay trembling and appalled at the feet of an inexorable and haughty adventurer, this ge nerous nation spurned every kind of compromise with the daring ruffian, and formed unanimously tho resolution . Ater to cover their native fields with their mangled car casses, and those of their parents, their wives, and their children, than to consent to the slavery of their country. Their success has been correspondent w ith their determi nation, and the sanctity of their cause. You arc going now not so much to* assist. them in delivering their country from their infamous invaders—they have already achieved that themselves—but to rival and participate, in their fu ture exploits, in that very country, from whence, for more than sixteen years, myriads of revolutionary harpeys have taken their flight, to ravage and pollute the temples, the habitations, and the fields of the neighbouring natnies. Your country will unceasingly follow you i n this distin guished career. Her gratitude will be even superior to your exploits ; and when you return, crowned with victory and the benedictions of the universe — you will find in the applause of your countrymen, and the joyful tears o f y our relatives and friends, an ample compensa tion fur y our 'w uourable services. ^r*:.l - • ir 4P. • ~~ b 1.4 1,
