The military ardour ditplayed in this capital and
the neighbouring towns is tocrodiblc. The tatter
send moacy and men, who, uarler their reseeitive
officers and colours, fiy to tender their services to
the Snprehte Heard. Every day fresh troops are
arriving from the camps of Rath and Cadiz, which
are i.omodudely ordered to the several points of the
frontier, and to reinforce the van. Not only are the
old corps completiog with valiant men; but tire
new regitnosts or Infantry have been formed, the
Colone6 of which are D. Joaquin Clarebout,
Joisif Medina, J. Cabanas, U. J. Maria Maest-e,
Knights of tie Royal tleestranza, of this Citi;
fly:4110 Summer Delo'', Intendaut Conansisairy ;
and D. Petro Pedrosa Marquis Dashermailan—
They are also well provided with arias, quantities
df which, as well as ammunition cud warlike in-
struments, are continually- sendiag to every pout.
Notwithstanding the great consumption of these
articles, there as a sufficiency is our Nlaestranca
armories and stores to supply anotiier army,
consisting of 60,040 aim. Its the very short time
that the soldiers of the new levy have been exer-
cisiog, they have axade such progreal as to excite
the surprise of the veterans, and scarcely to be
credited by those whn are strangers to the wonder-
ful effort of patriotism ; and it is to be hoped our
fames will increase every day, so as to insure the
filliltncot of the wishes of the country.
