THIRD BULLETIN OF' THE ARMY IN SPAINd BU RGOti, Nov. 13.—The army of Galicia, which fled from Bilhoa, is pursued by the blarshal Duke of Bellamy, in the di. ret (ion of livitiosa; by the Marshal Duke of Delimit. in the direction of N illarcayo, and at Reynosa is surrounded by the Marshal Duke of Dalmatia. Important events must take place in that quarter. General Milhaut, with his division of Cavalry, has entered Palencia, and has sent off detachments towards the outlets of Re vi.o , a, in pursuit of the park of artillery of the army of Gallicia. The young students of Salamanca, who thought to accom plish the conquest of France; the fanatical peasants, who al. ready dreamed of plundering Bay onne and Bourdeaux, and imagined themselves led on by all the Saints, bele; misled by the treacherous Monks, are dispossessed of their foolish fancies. Their despair and dismay arc at their height. They deplore the misfortunes of which they are become the prey, the lies *kids they have been made to believe, and the straggle, without an object, in which they are involved. The whole plain of Castile is already overspread by out cavalry. The zeal and ardour of our troops enable them to perfornsi g° art its of fourteen or Arens miles I day. Put piquess • -
