a very curium and mixed scene. There is a Spanish
Junta directing the concerns of Spain, and Mr.
Fusee, us Representative of the interests of Eng-

are lenning, from English soldiers. how to defend
their country; and tis render themselves formidable
to 'heir enemies. The chief command is in the
hands of General CRAHAVI. who presides over the
town; and the out-posts, where the French may he

of attack.
