at break of day, leaving only some advanced posts
in the town. The French evacuated Bilboa; they
expea.ed to be attacked by the Spanish troops.
How were you taken prisoner ?, I was taken pri.
soner by the Spanish troops, near the Bridge of

What is the opiniou of the French Officers and
soldiers respeEting the present War ? The French
Officers think it unjust, arid caused by the ambition
Of BUONAPARTE ; the whole Nation is of the same
opinion, but the soldiers are always satisfied, if they
are allowed to rob, because they do not reflea on the
calamities of War.

Is King foserit considered by the Army as a good
General, and has he got any strong party among the,
French ? King jOSEPII does not possess any military
talents, and never commands an Army; but the

COBUNNA, Ocr. 22.-By the Portuguese Mail,
we have received intelligence that the division of
the Marquis DE VALADARES continued on the 13th
in Oporto, whither it was called from Carballo,where
it halted, to assist in disarming the French who came'
from Ahnida ; but on the arrival of our Troops the
whole business was done.

Letters from St. Andero state, that the troops ar-
rived there from the North were landed on the gth,
loth, and 1 tth iust. and were reviewed on the fol-
lowing day. The military appearance and skill of
these warriors being universally admired, it is a mat-
ter of sincere regret that, from a want of some indis-
pensable articles with which they might easily have
been supplied by the generosity of that commercial
town, they are not yet able to join our armies.
