A letter from a StaffOffieer of the sth division
of the army in Spain, says, " The Valladolidi-
an ladies very soon hedame attached to us. From
intermarriages and long intercourse, the inhabi-
tants of Valladolid are intimately acquainted with
the strength, materials, and nature of the Prench
army, and were able to give a particular account
of the respective merits- and character of each of
their General Officers. Marmont had always
spoken contemptuously of the Marquis of Wel-
lington as a General iu the field ; said that he was
well enough in faStuesses and mountains,4nd that
the English certainly defended themseleS bravely;
but,•says Marmont, let me only gel Wellington
into the plains, then I wilt teach him what be
does not know--;-manceuvring. Even -all the Spa-
niards, before the battle of Salamanca, believed
that. the Engli.Sh could attack at sea and defend
themselves bravely on shore, but that in making
as attack, they must ever yield4O.:the impetuosity
of tile French:" r• • •

Another letter from a Staff Officer of the 7th di,
vision, says—" Until we - made progress north-
ward, we did not know how complete the tdefeat
of the enemy was 'on the ever memorable battle of
Salanianca, nor how prodigious their loss has been.
Erma numerous documents which we have taken-
or intercepted, from the partiality of the country
people, we have undoubted proof- that Marmont
bad nearly- 50,000 men=no wonder he outflanked
-us, being barely 37,000. - Atter the French had
gained the other side of the Douro, they could not
muster 20,000 men under arms. No doubt many
runaways have since joined., and they have re-
ceived many of the slightly wounded from the
hospitals ; but the fate which bcfcl many of their
straggling wounded was horrible, wherever they
came in the way of the Spaniards, these put a
period to their pains ; they even dug up the bodies
of some•of the Officers whom the French had bu-
ried. .At Ohuedo the people dug up the body of
a French Officer who had been buried in the
ehurch, and threw it.out on the high road to the
dogs; When ,our light division passed, they bur
vied it decently ; but as soon as they had passed,
the people,.men and women, dug it up a second
time ; the. next division .of -outs-that pissed,
buried it it second tine, and. the General-desired
the Magistrates to see that the body was not dis-.
turbed again. The eneiny have a prodigious
number of sick and wounded; and, their care-
lessneSs and cruelty to them deserve the execra-
tions of the whole civilized world. Bnonaparte
and his Generals regard the soldier not an instant
longer than he can carry a musket for them. They
'not only leave the sick and wounded to their
fate; but knowing the hrtmanity of the British,
and likewise that they are a burthen to them,
and a certain expence, seem ptirpOsely to desert
them. Near Salamanca they left nearly 2.00 of
their wounded, without a surgeon or a Stint to
lobk after them. They left 900 poor wretches in
-the most miserable statez, in the hoSpitals at Val-
ladolid, and nearly:the same number in their hos-
. pital at Madrid. The poor creatures themselves,
men and officers, are sensible or the neglect, and
bless their captors ; many of them are Germans,
Poles, -Swiss, and Italians.
"'The aopeatrance of that fine regiment, the 42d,
or Royal Highlanders, at Valladolid, dressed in
the garb of " Old Gaul," 1000 strong, delighted
the inhabitants at large. BylLOrd Wellington's
.desire, their parade Was in the'grand square, op-
:posite the --palace where he lived, whither they
*marched to*the Martial sound of the bagpipe morn-
ing and t uning." • .
