FIFTEENTH BuLtaym OF Tilt: ARMY OF SPAIN.
Madrid, Dee. Pt.

Ins Majesty has named the General of Artillery, Sonarmont, 11
General of Division. The Major Legur leis been named Actin- I;
tant Commandant. The life of this Officer had been de :paired 1
of, but he is now out of danger. The Count Krazinski, Colonel 1
of the Polish Light Horse, thoogli ill, has alwa)s wished to I
charge at the head of his eorps. The Sieurs Itabeeki and NV ol - 1
gurski, QuartersNlasters, and Sarzevski, a soldier of the Polish
Light Horse, who have. taken standards from the enemy, hat
been named Members of the Legion of Honour. His MejeMf
has moreover granted to the Polish Light Horse eight dt.•e•eratjons
for the Officers, and 4; untey for Atte soldiers. The Chief of
Squadron, Lubiensici, reconnoitred ea ate, second, the remain, of
the army of Castangs, near Guailalaxara. They were under the
command of General Pena. Castanos was said to have tbeen de-
posed by the Geecral Junta, The Duke of. Itifantado has been
one of the principal causes of the misfortunes his "country has
suffered he w4s the principal instrument in EOgland, in its
lanieutahle progress against Spain; it was he who was employed
by that country to cause dissensions hetween the fattier and the
son—to overturq the throne of Charles, whose attachment to
France was known-to excite outrages against the first Minister
or that Sovereign—to elevate to the Supreme Power that young
Priuce, who, by his marriage with a Princess of the ancient
Jlouse of Naples, had drank that hatred against the French,
from which that Boise had never departed. It was the Duke of
Infanta° who played the principal part in the coespiracy of
the Escurial, and it was to him that the power of Generalissimo
of the Armies of Spain was confided:at that time. lie was after-
wards been taking the oath ofallegiauce at Bayonne between the
bands of King Joseph, as Colonel of the Spanish Guards. On
his retorts to Madrid, we saw him throw qff the masque,. and
chew himself °peaky the man of the English. It was 4)110 house
that the Ministers of England were lodged; it was lift his society
that the agents accredited and secret of that Poster lived. After
having exhorted his fellow-citizens to a mad resistance, he was
seen, with a cowardice equal to his treason, kin?. flan Madrid
to Guadalaxara, under the pretext of going to bring reinforce-
ments, withdrawing himself by this stratagem from the dangers
iuto which he had drawn his fellowscitiaeuss, and shewiug no
anxiety except for the English Agent, whom be carried off in his
own carriage, and whom he served for an escort, And what
will he gain by this conduct? Ile will lose his titles, hisproperty
valued at 2,000,00 Q of livres a year, and he will go to London, to
seek the contempt, the disdain, and ingratitude with which Lug-
laud has always rewarded the men who sacrifice their humour
and their country to the itdustice of her cause.
Every day contributes to dissipate the remains of the stupor
into which the inhabitants of Madrid had fhltrn. '1 bust who
had concealed their moveables and precious e*cts, are !triaging
them back to their houses, Their shops are furnished as in or-
dinary times. The barricades, and all the other preparations of
defence, have disappeared. The taking possession of Madrid
has been executed without disorder, and tranquillity nips in
all parts of that town. A foileer of the Guard having been
Cultic' with a number of watches upon hint, and being convicted
or having stolen them, has been shot in the principal place of
Madrid. We have found in that city 200,000 ponuds weight of
powder; 10,000 balls ; 2.000,000 pouted weight of lead ; 10D
pieces of field artillery ; c..nd MAO muskets, mostly English.
The disarming, continues without any difficulty, all the inhabi-
tants enuform to it with the greatest willingness ; they return
with eagerness and good faith to the royal authority which
rescues them from the mischievous influence of England, from
the violence of factions* and the disorders of popular move
meats. The King of Spain has created a regiment which hears
the name of the " Royal Foreigners," into which are admitted
the deserters and the Germans who were in the service of Spain.
lie has also fanned a Swiss regiment, called that of Reding the
T onager, that Officer haviag coadneted himself like a real Swim
Patriot, and ia a mapper very different from General Reding.
The one has deserved well from his countrymen, and viill every
where obtain esteem; the other, generally despised, will go to
the taverns of London to enjoy a pension of some hoadreds of
run& Stetling, badly earned, and plid wktb digtaiP. die 11!"
