His eldest brother, Richard, on attaining his majority, was returned to Pailiament for the borough of Beer Alston, a reat which he subsequcntly exchanged for that of the are) borough of Windsor. He carly succeeded in ob. iaining placo under Mr. Pitt, and was appointed ono of the commissionors for the affairs of India.

But the curtain was about to rise on a fitter theatre for the developement of Lieutcnant colonel Wellesley’s gonius than the House of Commons.

The King | avd Queen of Fronce, and those of the nobility and clergy who were Lold enough to confront the hurricane of rage that had burst forth, all perished miserably. Public feeling in Epgland, artfally and eloquently stimulated, rose quickly to fever heat, and amidst the fiantic applause of almost the entire nation, Mr Pitt de- | clared war to the death against the French republic.

His medita- tions resulted im the conception of the celebrated Lines of Torres Vedras, which were at once commenced, but Without the lightest hint of the purpose to which they were destined. In the epring of 1810, Marshal Massena, ‘the spoiled cbild of victory,” «4 he was desiguated by Napoleon, was appointed to the as yet bafiled task of driving, with Ney’s assistance, the English leopards into the sea ; but the renowned ecromander quickly found that Dame For- tone has frowns as well as favors for the most indulgent of ber children, ‘The French army destined to operate evainst Welling. ton had been increased to $0 000 men. chiefly veteran sol- diers to whom the Knglish general could not oppose more than 46.000 Britich troops, the remainder of his army leing composed of the as yet untried Portuguese regi- ments.
