" CONQUERORS Of TOT HALTONTT FRENCi!
" ARXILOONISZ!—You have proved yourselves to be worthy%
your name. That multitude of proud warriors, triumphant in
every other part of Europe, ceased to retain the character alma
querott when they came before you. You are inferior both in
discipline and numbers; because one-twentieth part of our fames

Bat your zeal has overcome every difficulty. The musketry is
*bleb your enemies place so mush confidence, are weak icon-
meats of their power when you appear before them.—you tooth
them with courage, and they fall at your feet.
" Arragonme ! The result of our first attempt has been to

bands which violate our city of Madrid, and their Commander
Molter, should venture to approach us, we should receive the
intelligence with the highest satisfaction--we would anticipne
their expectations, and meet them half way.

had been gained by
these intruders, we should have heard their babbfing of the ale.
tories of Marengo, Austerlitz, and Jena, acquired by the same
valour. Although the conquest we have effected has been sangai•
