When ,General Meudizabel retired across the Guadiana, he _threw a small corps of about three thousand infatitry into Olivetiza, which place was but ill supplied ‘vith provisions -and stores. - A body of intantry, which at liMef6ll3Vt: belit stated to. be four. thousand, and at others seven thousmd, with abolt one .thousand five hundred cavalry, have blockaded en La. • There Las been no alteration in the 'position of the enetily's troops in front of this army.

Guarda, of which I reported to your Lordship in My last dispatch that we had intercepted the duplicate.

General Ilictikr, who commands in the North, has moved Lite commanded by .
