You would sca-cdy conceive that the
! government here would stand on trifles a^
1 bout atom, when they have many vegi.
mecua 6t to take the field, without, h-vying
--a single inuskei to.cariy to he camp. I
have this day seen the regiment of Maza
retlo paraded ; it consists of 1400 of the
•finest men I ever saw ; and except l*‘« of
ficers, serjeants and corpo.als, not'a tarn
has arm*. They have here a manufactory
of musktts; it was begun ten months a.
go, not a single musket has yet been fin
‘i-hed, nor wt I be for the nfxt tlrree
•months, though they have expended lit},.
ObO dtJiiars upon it.
The pretint moment Is perhaps the
most critical for the Spanish.cause, of any
■ tha: Ii.s cccmed, bo:h as regard* the sta«e
of parties at Seville, and the situation of
I their armjek, which ace now in conutY
with the French, and we must have some
overthrows er victories in a few day*.
The jtima are both cruel and timid, they

p™ twi dread of any conspiracy in favor
of France, but thvy dread those most

to rw»\e the nation against Bonaparte,

being of opposite parties to Palofox, l do
not believe it. There are a variety of re
ports on this sobjea, hut all agre<e th*
the Junta know the public indiga'ion is at
Us height against them, because tney are
iprpcAed ol having opposed the Frecnh,
w th too little zeal, and of having offended
the English ambassador by not entering
ipto his energetic views.
Whilst the state of parlies at the teat of
government is thus critical, the situation
olthe armies is no less so j Araiega, who
commands ibe arm/ of Ls Manet* a, has
under hit command 55,000 men. He had
concentra ed this force at Aranjucz. and
then by forced marche s to Vdlamaurtxa,
higher up the Tagus, has got two days
mxrch nearer to Maddd than the French,

command of the duke del Parqite, who
