In regard to the positions of the hostile armies, Bayonne was left to its garrison, !under: Count REILLE ' • SOULT had his right at Peyrehorade, and his left towards St. Jean Vied de Port : he also occupied Bastille, Ayhire, St.. Etevan, and' Hellette. The Allied Armv, on the other hand, .held Urt, Hwparen, Boodoc, and Medionde. An '• exchanged Spanish officer, who. passed through SOULT'S army on the 2d, states that ell the old troops had been marched into the interior. .. ti t he Duke D'ANoouLE:ne arrived at the head gnarters the:Sd instant. „Lord WELLINGTON and his suite went out to•nieet his Royal High ness, who For the presciq remained as a private Gentleman. • Letters, to the 4th instant, were yesterday re-. - - eeived from Lord WELLlNuTox's...head-quarters.: By diem we learn, that the army still remained i n. cantonments, and that the state. of the .weather,. and the roads, rendered any immediate advance impracticable. For the three preceding weeks, Winter, such as might be expected at the foot Of time Pyrenees, had prevailed with ‘considerable se verity.; and though there was then. some promise of a change, it would regaire sonme.weeks of dry '.weather to enable Lord WELI t INGTON to move. additional supply of money also was cousi-, tiered necessary to- the resumption of offensive operations. This, we believe, has been carried out by the Erebus, which sailed. the other . day ~from Portsmouth. In the neighbourhood of Lyons, the Allies are said to have been driven from Mont Lae', about. twelve miles froin that city. • Yesterday Mr. STRousE, who accompanied the .
