The accounts which we receive from our armies
are of the mot satisfaetory nature. They are on

and dexterity.

It appears by all the intelligence received from
Spain, that the French forces in that country
have not yet been reinforced in any considerable de-
gree, to judge from the movements which . they

have hitharto made. The Spanish army either maid-
tain their position, being considerably reinforced, or
inove•forwards against the enemy. In short every
thing announces the most fortunate result.

do the same. All this shews that they do .not
