that he has even been obliged to quit Rome, and

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM Al OttiCER IN. SIR
JOHN MOORE'S- ARMY.

V A t.r..Abduri," Nov. 22.--We are now 4,00 b
.strollg in this cityand
,the environs. Part of the ar-
tillery is with us ; the remainder is expected to-.
Morrow. On our match, we received an account
that a large French force was in possession of this,
• piade, and, in conSequenbe of this intelligence, a re-
treat was,ordeted. But ve soon afterwards learned
that the French did not e►ceed 1060 cavalry, who
had made a dash for the sake of plunder. Atter all
our fatigues, tke , are well accommodated here, and
are free from sickness ; the weather has not been so
bad as we .exPeCted ; altho' this is called the rainy
season, we have, had but two days rain. Several
Spanish Otlicers, who understand English, Met us
on our march, with orders to attend us, and to do:
'their best for promoting our convenience. We can-
not join Sir D. BAIRD in lest than ten days.—P. S,
There is a report that Barcelona has fallen."
CORUNNA, DEC. I.—Tat Of Sir JOHN MOORE'S
army had assembled at Salamanca, on the 26th of
last month, and the whole was to advance by three
separate routes, viz. by Almeyda, Albuquerque, and
Badajos; but, from the badness of the roads, it was
thought our troops.could not got together in a body
before the 6111 or sth of this month. From the
want bf accommodation, our troops have been under
the necessity of marching in single regiments, and
sometimes in half battalions. On the 26th the army
was in good health and spirits."

(sent and ordered) of the description under-own
tioned, for the Spanish ArMies, as transmitted by
