ragon ; the garrison of Valencia (POO men only),,
and the, garrisons of Calatayud, Darica, Alcaniz,
Caspe, Morella, and Teruel, in Lower Arragon.
The French, in the towns of Saragossa, and of
Valencia, have deniolished the works of the
towns, and conned theiliselves to the citadels,
which they have strengthened by ditches and
other works ; and which they are thus enabled to
maintain with a small force. The 'disposahle force
