The two armies remain as before, each equally
vigilant, and strengthening their positions. The
French are freshl of an attack ; at present they
have an alarming force concentrating in tbeir rear ;
which concentrated, it is supposed Lord %Yew un-
Tow will utmek them on both sides; but my firm
opinion i., they may be destroyed without sacri.
facing any of the troop.; for, front the positions
that Generila Silveira sod Trent have taken up, it
must amount to a miracle if they get supplied at all.
" Silveira is on the Bank% of the Tagus, with
shout 20,000 men; Train, on the opposite side near
the sea, with 1.1,000 ; mole are on their march to
join them ; 10,n00 Spaniards are oil their march to
join Lord IVellington, from Badajoz. The number
of rations daily to the troops with the British Com-
mander, amounts to one kindred end ten theniand,
independent of Silveira and Train. Lord W.'s in-
tention is, no doubt, to destroy them without fight-
ing, if he can do it without losing too touch time;
and he will then march direct for Madrid."

from that ishunt, dated the thtd is.tanr, says—
" On the 19th information ors fecei..t here

the Palace was opened to chew the Sulleti.is to tbo

the Es-King of Sweden, attended at the Palace
with a French Gentleman, his Interpreter, who in-
