LETTER 'IN THE lIAND-yvitlTiNG OF Ills MAJESTY Tilt
K NG OF SPAIN, TO HIS HIGHNESS THE PRINCE
• ' "Archeito, Aug.
" SIR, MY BROTHER—I. Will not suffer so feIVOLIN
rable ut opiinrtun4 to p.ass.by without dvai'nig my-
self
of it, to recommeod Myself to your Hignitess.
I na‘e to inform your Highness of• the brave con-
duct of your troops in tie battle of Titlaveta. It it
tint possible for any troops to do their duty better,
and the 'Alioe ariny does theni justice. Their brave
Commander was most-worthy to lead them on, but
he met with his death its the field; no one itas.more
cause to lament. him than myself; and I hope to
mitigate the c.datnity Which has befallen his family-,
L thus informing so good a prince as your High-
ness, of the great merits of this Officer.
" Things are g ,tng on very well. The English
are hastening towards the sea ; their Allies are fol-
lowing their eftattiple. Neither the one nor •the
other will take with them the greater part of their
aril:lei-yr or men.
" I hope soon to bring the army of La Mancha to
as engage,: ent.:
" I hope that the arty of t 20,0'00 men, which
- threatened my capital, will not be able to keeplo-
gether, or at least be unable to undertake any fur-
ther enterprise., I beg yotr HightteM fo accept this
proof or my sincere attachment ; and am your Eigh-
th:M.s sincere friend,

" JOSEPH."
