The following view of the campaign which K

"high military authority” in Parts. It is well
worthy of attention.
CAMPAIGN IN THE PENINSULA.
Yuu ask for my opinions on the Spanish
war, and its probable result. Hero they
arc —The known bad poaitions oi the dif
ferent corps and 'manifest alarm among bur
experienced Generals, has at length brought
with it the risk ol a consequence not looked
for by those views; were regulated by the
sangutnencss of their dispositions; encoura
ged by the two evident want of energy on
the part oi the Spaniard*, throughout the
greater portion of that country; for nothing,
Surely, but the opposition on the part of
the invaded, and an almost certain reliance
on tbe continuance of such a atate of apa
thy, could have induced the Generals di
recting the movement of the army to -take
up positions which,, with scarcely an ex
ception, are io the higheal degree unmihta-
rjr,under toy circumstances; aud in the'
event of serious opposition upon any lead
ing point,are not only dangerous to the wel
fare of the particular corps which might
happen to be checked, but calculated to
piece in the greatest jeopardy a very large
portion of the remaimng force. Tbe Gov
ermnetiHlero has felt especially alive to
this state of thinga since the failure of tbe'
plan organised chiefly under , the direction'
of your coontrymen (Sir iobn Downier for

motives which could assign
mand of an inadequate force to a Monccy,
or that of a division tu a Dom.adieu, are,
and ever have been, difficult of divination;
and may, hereafter, become a matter of *e
rious inquiry.
Tfie words of the Marshal in one of his
(unpublished) dispatches of the beginning
ot the last month, perhaps opened the eye.
nf ministers a little on this subject. “If I
have not” says he, “and speedily, reinforce
ments to a great extent, I shall not only be
incapable of maintaining investments ant)
carrying on sieges, but I stall be com pell d
to put mysell on the defensive, and finally,
within 2 montha, evacuate the country.”
How much more he is advanced since tht
arrival of the reinforcements he has rcceiv
ed, the recent determined conduct of the
Spaniards st nr near Barcelona, wilt testily;
and the fact of th existence at Ibis lime, in
ihe principal!': ofC*' nia, of a Sp nish
force known to exceed 35,000 men, under
the command of officer* having the c:.lirv
coofn'cnce ot their iru >p» well ucq'ia ntefl
with the localities of the country; and sup
ported by fortresses of a superior class, well
garrisoned and provisioned, creates tut opin
ion among our leading men here, that tfie
almost Moncey cat, do, will be to work hi-,
way to the Ebro in the course of the pres
ent summer, (even then leaving severol
strong places in the hands of the Spaniards
in -tis rear,) and take up a position, to which
d'tcr much fatigue, though perhaps, will-,
"tie fighting, the remaining corps nf the
army must shortly retire. Tho facility al
forded to the main body of the army, h>
the wmt of resistance at the pass ofSuiinav
and along the line ul road from Bidossoa tfl
Mirando de Ebro, as well as at th: strong
position of Pancorvo, south -.f Vtuoru, ami
the hopes entertained, that the plot of Uci
trend tie Lis, for carrying off tho king from
'.ladritl, would succeed, added to the inef
fectual opposition offered to tbe 3d corps
ir.dcr Molitor, in its march upon the Ebro,
y Logrono and Todela to Saragossa, in
lured an early deviation from the original
dan, and determined the ministers on or
taring the main army upon Madrid, tlcla< h
:g some divisions to control the Spaniards
in the western parts of o'. 1 Castile, and ir
rite provinces of Leon, Galicia, and Asturi
as, and to invest or besiege the strong pla
ces maintained on our rear and Batik, it
Biscay and Navarre. •
The march on Madrid was marked by no
f eature of importance, except the discovery
of the pilot of Bertram de Lis* in t'-c first
instance, which led to the removal of the
court ibd government to Seville, and at ar-
adranced period, the more extessive trea
chery of Abisbal. The same motives that
urged the march to Madrid, and the same
system of intrigue and corruption, were ex
tended tn Seville, and in the hope that what
had faded in one place, might succeed
the other, the division of Uordesoull ami
B'lurmont, two active and excellent offi
cers, were entrusted with the projected
eou/t de main. Of the disappointment and
dismay of General Buurdesouli and Ins of
ficers on learning at Cordova the departure
of the King nf Cadiz, which was first com
municated to them by tbe Secretary of your
Ambassador, on his way to England, that
gentleman will have stated to hit Govern
ment. The subsequent acts of the march
to Cadiz, and its blockade, are considered
by many here as acts of disappointed hope,
not to say desperation. Look, then at thal
which I tel out with—the bad disposition
of the army; and though, perhaps, not ca
pable ol viewing the question with a mili-
unrolenting and unmixed revenge on Hja
re-assumption of power—that the. Regency
established in Madrid is infatuated in the
highest degree with delire and resolve to
admit or no arrangement that shall not leave
open the door to thr restoration or absolute
power, with all it*, attendant evjls— that
these sentiments are in a great meaaure op-'
posed to those entertained by the royaldhke
.,t the head of our urmy, and by the more
moderate part of the ministry at home—and
that, consequently, the political considera
tions of tbe question are involved in every
kind of intricacy and embarrassment, both
with regard ,to the questions of domestic
and international policy embraced by these
various circumstances;—when 1 consider
all these things, I cannot help thinking,
that not one miracle, but a aeiiei of mira
cles will be requited to extricate us from
one of tiro situations—namely, the necessi
ty of withdrawing our army altogether, .and
leaving the two infuriated parties, who di
vide the dominion of the country to thrir
respective desperate efforts for the ascen
dency, or to retire to that position which
was the basis of tbe original plan ot cam
paign, the occupation of the line of the E-
tiro, and there await a favorable opportuni-
ty, if snch should arise, when the influence
of reason and the moderation ot passion
shall admit of our turning the scale in furor
of some system equally removed from Ihe
ancient despotism oi the monarchy, and the
less dreaded evil of the establishment or de
rided influence ul ademoctucy.
*tt is, perhaps, Rot generally known, that the
correspondence f.trried on fur this purpose with
Berirsas de Lis was t.,;o,.gii the mediton of so
eminent cap-t-ilia', sa posed to have been much
in the confidence of certain ti'.^h personages in a
late financial operation
Concrete Private.—We must wai' for
par;*eulars relative to the refusal to permit
the Congress frigate to enter the port ol
Cadiz, before any positive opinion is expres
sed. As the case now present ilselt, it is a
very singular one. France enters Spain
with an armed force, avowing that shu Is
not at war with Spain, but wishes merely
to al-.cr the goverment, and restore the King
to all his tights.—To prevent any inter
I'erenco in their concerns, the Spanish peo
ple send their King to Cadiz, and lock

GREAT LELKI’.UATlltS AT THE KLOOF
l-OCK AND DAM.
On the loth day of this month, the open
ing of U10 Great Lock on the Hudson above
Troy for the passage of vessel*, was cele
brated with every mat k of distinction and
jjreat demonstrations or joy.
In order to give an idea,of this great woi k,
it is sufficient to state that the dam extends
1100 feet, is 58 foul wide and 43 feet high
from the bo’ttoni ol the river; and that the
lock is 114 feet long and 30 tecl wide in the
clear, and is capable oi containing: river
vcsrels of the greatest burthen. These c-
lectiuns have been made with consummate
skill and auperior workmanship, and are
distant about 7 miles from the city of Alba
ny, 2 miles front Lantingburg, and 3 front
Waterford. They create a pond of seven
miles in length, (and eight reel deep to
Waterford) and nave rendered the river
perfectly navigable lo the position* which
nature originally assigned for Urge vessels.
—They are, in fact, a re-establishment of
the original arrangement of nature; and as
of the river shallow and changed the ancient
headsof its navigation, it was perfectly right
