the lines. We have Id .thank our. bitter 'Enemy
BVONAPARTE for it. Report says,- 96,000 French
have entered Spain, part for Portugal, and the rest
to 'ainuse us here. How they are to exist, God
knows: The harveot in Spain has been very bad, and
the neighbourhood has almost entirely. been supplied
with c.orn,from Gibraltar. We shall lose 'a supply of
vegetableS and poUltry, but they will lose .the
