sents itself for destroying the plane and conabitia-
tioew sidle enemy, who has not yet abandoned Isis
project, 'lipoid be occupied in discoissiosso of no

the mein subject, which alone ought to deertpy the
, attention of all true' Sp miards. The Ceptiviii-Cie-
nerel of Arrsgon and myself have *pared nn moms
or toils which could conduce to the attainment of
our most imoortant objects. The army under my
command has continually occupied the poitits
most contiguous to the enemy, in order to rtivert
leis attention to the quarter entrusted to my tare.
The army of Gm' llicia, in consequence of guy ITIVI•
nation, was already approaching; but being, as
well as mine, without a sufficient force of cavalry to
cromthe plains, it has been compelled not to ()nit
the mountains, but to maintain itself there, with
the view. either to pursue the enemy should they
retreat, or to attack them in Rank, should they re-
slew their attempt mi Saragossa. I provisionally
only took possession of Tilde's, that place net be- !

that were in SLAM' ; and the enemy availing them-
selves of the tardy execution of out plums, united
their various corps, there being nothing to prevent
them, in order to attack me a ith double my force,
and with a respectable body of cavalry.

" I did not consider it prudent, or in any other
respect berrelici-al, to maintitin a positives which WWI
flanked at all points, nor to risk, 111 a single action,
the fete of my army, and perhaps that of the whole

conformably to the instructions I lied received from
the Captain-General, and occupied all the most
important point* aml those best adapted for a de-
fence which, if possible, would have been still more
obstinate and vigorous than the termer.

" The enemy have abandoned Tudebs. mid the
other points which they occupied on the left bank
of the Eh's, indicatin., a disposition to retreat upon
Mimpeluna, and guaraing the person of the fugitive
Joseph. In the mean time, they are plundering
the villages, and depriving us of those resources
which are essentially necessary to oar subsistence.
They impose contributions, and trample no the most
sacred rights °four fellow-countrynsen, who observe

the mere purpose of convincieg you of say pii-

sound reams, and the genuine ardour which ani-
mates me in a cause which I was the first to sustain.
I desire nothing—expect nothing, but the glory of
totally devoting myself to the defence of my king
and country ; and I leave to others all that has no
relation to these objects, and which I consider as
unreasonable, at a time when the enemy, from the
insuffsciency of their force, employ intrigue to
throw us off our guard, to start questioos of eti-
viette,and to introduce the most fatal divisions in
the train of our triumphs.

" Generals of the different divisions of the Span-
