We continue in high health and spirits. Our immediate destination is said to be Guards or Almeida. and thence with, all possible expedition, to the relief of Ciudad Rodrigo, in the vicinity of which, it is expected, we shall give Mamma a meeting. A general engagement, if I may judge from uppearances. must take place before the end of the passing month. The French army, under Mamma; and. the British army under Lord Wellington, are said to be equi.distaut from Ciudad Rodrigo.

The French troops opposed to them appear to be quite inactive. From the difficulty of pro curing reinforcements, mid the danger of edvaueing on account of the hostility of the inhabitants of EstresnaJews, it is not supposed that they will at tempt active operations during the summer, nor is it possible they should do it with any chance of suc cess (circumstanced as they arc at preseut) in the face of the allied armies stationed at Portaleire, Elvas, Badajos, Albuquerque," tx.c.
