Ordenanzas in Portugal, and of the Guerrillas ht
Spain were extolled in private accounts, we learnt
with unfeigned sorrow that a corps of Spanish regu-
lars who, under LA ROMANA had come to the
assistance of Lord WELLINGTON, and wha had
since marched to the relief of Badajoz, had been
surprised in their camp by the French troops under
Marshal SOULT, and completely dispersed ; it was
even added that Badajoz itself had fallen into the
hands of the enemy.
The extracts from Lord WELLINGTON'S dis-
patcfies in the Gazette of last Tuesday, somewhat
lessened the gloom occasioned by those rumours,
without dispelling it completely. The defeat of
lards under General MENDIZABEL was c0n-

91f Spani;
ed by those official docuMents, with this addi-
tional circumstance, that ,the Spaniards were sur-
prised in their camp, although the French had to
,cross the Guadiana and the Evora to attack them
Badajoz was not taken on,the 2d March, the date
of Lord WELLING•ros's last dispatch, ?although be-
*sieged by the enemy since the 9th of February ; the
communications were still open on the right of the
Guadiana ; the fire of the place was well kept up ;
the garrison was reported to be in good spirits, and
not ill supplied with provisions ; yet we do not see
any prospect of its being relieved, unless indeed
Lord WELLING•roN should attack and defeat MAS-
SF,NA. Should Badajoz ultimately fall into the
hands of the enemy, as it mist, unless the French
are compelled to raise the siege by a superior force,
the Trench corps now employed in Spanish Estre-
madura will be able to march towards Lisbon, cn
the south side of the Tagus, through the Alentejo ;
'and in that case Lord WEIXINGTON will unquestion-
ably find himself in a critical situation. We rely as
much as any one on his Lordship's abilities, and
on the bravery of the troops under his command,
but we cannot suffer out-judgment to be biassed by
our wishes, and we believe that the short view we
have given of the state of affairs in that quarter will
'be found as correct as it is impartial.
From Gibraltat we learn that General GRAIIMAt
with abOut 4500 English troops had landed from.
Cadiz at Algeziras, frail whence lie marched to
Tatiffa, Where li.eiattivedi on. the /6th day of Fe-
