To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lord W. Bentinck. Lesaca, '20th July, 1813. ) THE SPANISH CHARACTER.
Your Lordship must have seen enough of the Spanish character, during the contest and our connection with them, to be aware that it will not answer to press any measure upon them which they don't like. I have not seen amongst them the slightest inclination to employ English officers to discipline their troops to such an ex- tent as would answer any useful purpose ; and I believe that one of the reasons for which they like me so... well is, that, contrary to their expectations, I have not pressed them to take English officers. Besides, as I have above stated to your Lordship, the Spanish troops don't want discipline, if by discipline is meant instruction, so much as they do a system of order, which can be founded only on regular pay and food, and good care and clothing. These British officers could not give them ; and not- withstanding that the Portuguese are now the Jighting- cocks of the army, I believe we owe their merits more to the care we have taken of their pockets and bellies than OFFICERS.
