think we could have got up to them.
Q.. Did you observe the position of trip enemy's
two line-of battleships that were'lbngest afloat ?
A.I-don't;know exactly how they lay. They were

ALVARM JUNE 24.---Yesterday evening I went
taseconDoitre the French batteries, which defended
the pave of the Tagus over the bridge of Al mares ;
they consisted of two of pieces, and one of tour,
which traversed the high road, so that not a single
person could pass, and it was evident they were de..
termined to- use every effort to prevent our Graaf
from consirutiting a bridge of boats, but they were
unable to prevent it, and They retreated thii morn
ing at 3 o'clock, abandoning their batteries. Our
army continues in, pursuit, and General CUESTA i 5
at this time passing the bridge. Our perfidious enern
mies in all parts leave proofs of their barbarity and fe4
rocil7, by reducing to ashes the very towns tow hicb
they are indebted for subsistence. Al tnarez and Na"
. wilmoral de Placencia are now in flames.

Extract of a Letter from a Portuguese Officer, dated
Head-quarters, Almaraz, June 24 :
ALMARAZ, writ 2g.—The latest advises frott
our army confirm the intelligence, that, on the zilth,
it was preparing to cross the Ta..! us, in two gramt di'
visions, one by the ' bridge of Arzilispo, and ths
other by the bridge of Almarez. They had both
been abandoned by the enemy, who, according to
all accounts, had taken the direEtion of the high
mad to Madrid, with, perhaps', the design of join-. .
ing the army of La Mancha, which had taken the
same route, and by this means avoid the destruaioa
that awaited the two armies, %wakened by the con"
tinual losses they have suffered."
