SIR,
I have had the honour of receiving your Excel-
let cy's letter of the I I ih.

The plan which your `Excellency proposes of
placing all the supplies in a magazine, to be formed
ai Ttuxiilo, and to divide them between the two
.armies in proportion to the strength of each,
would answer perfectly if it were practicable ; but
your Excellency must be_ aware that many articles
of, provisions are received by. your Excellency's
army, „which do not pass through Troxillo, and
could not be brought there wit;;out "great incon-
venience and delay ; and would never appear in the
accounts of the magazine; and that other supplies
can easily be turned oft from Truxillo, without my
having any knowledge ofthe fact. The British'army
receives no proi4iotts -ot which M. Loriano de
Torres has not a knowl,dge, and your Excellency
has it in your power to give him such orders as you
may think proper, both as to the formation of the .1
Magazine, and the share which the British troops
shah nave CA it. • •

The Condiii&ns of the Contt acl may be seen at the Sec? etary's
Office.
No regard will he had to any Tender in which the Price shall
not he inserted in words at length, or that ,ball not be delivered to
the gearel &Joe One o'Clock on the said Friday, the 27th Inst.
nor unless the Pet sYt who makes the render, or some Person on his
behalf, alb ncir td anizve:- a hen eal'ed for, •

Wien the British army entered Spain, I had rea-..
son Ju aliti I expected, that a great effort
woul3 be made to aftbrd use at least subsistence , for
payment, andthuse means of transport, and other
atti, ..:,/tocii your Excelleucy•is well aware
no Army con Keep the field. Your VAcellency also
knows how ithese expectations ve been fulfilled.
'Since I jitined your army, • the troops have nut 19,
ceived, upon an average, half a ration, and on some
days notning at all; and the cavalry no forage or'
grain, excepting what they could pick up in the fields
of an unwholesome description ; by the use of which
hundreds of !wises have died. I can procure no
means of transport, and your Excellency knows
that I have been obliged to leave some ammunition
in the mountains, of which you have possession;
and it I should now, move, I most leave behind me
two-thirds Of the small quantity of. affimunition, I
,have got ; having been obliged to allot the Portu-
guese
carts (which have muted 111 hitherto) to the
. purpose of removing the: wounded soldiers.
• The tire ot- the enemy, and the badness and
scarcity of food, have destroyed,many of my will-
. lery horses, and I have asked,- but in vain, for some
assistance of this .descript ion ; the consequence is,
that I shall be obliged to desroy.many guns, when
I shall move from hence.
I have not received even an answer to the request
I made, to have a remount tcr the cavalry, only 100
mares, which would be entirely useless to the
Spanish cavalry.

Under all thew circumstances your • Excellency
.cannot be surprised, t: at I should think that the
British army have been neglected and treatuo; or
,at the determination when I Low communicate to.
you, that, whatever may be the consequences to the'
valuable interests to winch you relet in your letter,
I will march them back into Rortugal, if they are
not more regulaily and more plentifully supplied
with provisions and forage, and with the means of
transport and other aids w hien they. requi,e.
I have to. observe, that, whether I put this de-,
termination into execution Or not; the evil conse-
quences which') ou apprehend. to the valuable in-'
terests to whiqh you refer, will equally follow;
the army will be. unable' and- unlit to perform' any
Operation, if the privations which it has suffered are
still to continue.

I reyiest your Excellency to give orders to tire
troops which you have st•nt to Truxillo,-not to pie.:
vent the officers and soldiers of the British army
front buylog what they want thew : the troops have
had no salt, or other nece4sary ari ieles for some time ;
and it is desirable that they and their othcets
should be allowed to buy. at Truxillo, what that
place can afford.
I have the honour to be, &c.

Translation of a Letter from General Egtla to Sir Arthur
Wellesley, d4ted Mesa 13th August, 149.

SIR,

have the honour to inform your Excellency,
that the Captain. General Don Gregorio de la Cu, Fel
delivered into my hands the command of' the
army yesterdayowho was incapacitated- horn con-
tinuing in the same by his disorders ; arid he took,
this morning the,direetion toward 4ruxillo. On this
the dispatch which your
account • I have received.
Excellency has been pleased to address to that Ge-
neral on the arrangement of_provisions, or rather.
on' the great scarcity of thrill, which the British,
Army under your command unfortunately feels ;
and - being desirous to contribute by every possible-
means to remedy an evil of consequence so fatal,
and which has-been undoubtedly: produced by the
sad situation in which • the places invaded by the
enemy have been left, I intreat your Excellency to
depute an of-fleet-in your confidence, who, With an-
other of my appointment, may regulate this
pertinent in such a manner, that no doubt can re-
main of the sincerity of my expressiens, and of my
constant desire that the English. Army should be
attended to with an absolute prefezence to
which I have the honour to command ad interim.
The national gratitude 'towards valorous sold ers,
who have known how to prove with their blood in
the fields of Talavera, the good will with Which
they have fought for -our liberty, demanis every
kind of sacrifice, and the first should be, to deprive
ourselves of all that may be possible, in order that
that brave army may have no warn; but your Ex-
cellency knows that it is of small use to make
efforts, if the effects do nut answer the ends fur
which they were made, and this will inevitably hap-
.pen unless there be a permanent method in the dis-
tribution, and an absolute confidence that this dis-
taut ion is made with good faith, and with the pre-
ference which I propose. I make known to your
Excellency any sentiments with frankness, in which
you will nevtr find an alteration, and I shall take a
very particular pleasure-if your EXcellency will ad-
mit them for trial.

The Commissioner whom your Excellency will
send, if you are pleased to approve of my plan, in
order to treat on the subject in question, will be
able to regulate those which remained previously in
discussion, and upon which I have as yet conic ID
no agreement.

Copy of a Letter from► Sir Arthur Wellesley to General
Lg►tia, dated Jaraycejo, 14th August 'Sq.

SIR,

haVe had the honour of receiving your Exceen-
cy's,Letter of the t 3th, and I beg leave to congratu-
late you upon succeeding to the command of • the
Spanish army.
I assure your Excellency, that I have every, de-
sire to adopt anfarrangement which cast tend to fa-
cilitate the procuring and disttibution of, supplies
to the combined Armies, and .1 am fully convinced
of your Excellency's desire to relieve the wants,
and remove 'the inconveniences, which )he BrittNll
army has already suffered (iring its op,rations in
Spain.

I must observe to your Excellency however, that,
with every confidence in the good tan h wi h whitg,
-an arrangement made by you will be tarried into
.execution on .your part, I am apprehensive that,
from the nature of the proposed arrangement, it is
impra6ticable of execution ; but, at your Excel-
lency's desire, I have sent Lieut. Colonel Waters, of
the Staff, and Mr. Venyss, of the Commissary Gene-
ral's department, to Truxillo, where they will meet
any officers who will be appointed by yon, and in
concert with Mr. Loyns de Torres, the intendant
employed by Government with the British army,
u. ill settle such an arrangement as may be prac-
ticable.

These officers will likewise be charged to coin-
municate to tho4e who you will appoint, the partt-
culars of the other wants of the Biitish artuy.
I hare the honour to be, &c. &c.
