The Emp&ror arrived at Astorga ou the Ist of
January. The road from Benevente to A.torgit
is covered with dead horses belonging to the Eng-
lish, with towelling carriages, artillery, caissons and
warlike stores. There were found at Astor;;lt ma-
gazines of sheets, blankets, and the tools and im-
plements of pioneers.
As to ttotouna's army, it is reduced almost to
nothing. The small number that remain are with-
out costs, shoes, pay, food, told it is no longer to be
considered any thing.
The Emperor has charges! the Duke of Dalmatia
with the glorious mission of pursuing the English
to the place of their debarkation, and of dining
them into the see, at the point of the sword.
The Euglish OM learn what it is to make au ill-
' considerate movement in pre►eure of the .Frenels
army. The Kromer in whirls the) Noe been driven
froM the lei;u of Leon and Gallieta, and the
destrvetion of a port of their army will, no doubt,
teach than to be more circumspect of their opera-
tions ou the Continent.
All that remains of the Spanish insurgent troops
has been without pay for several mouths back.
