place in the kingdom ot,Gallicia.-_ The.army,' from
little more than 20, has increased its numbers. in. a
very short space of ihne..to nearly 30,0.00 etietlice;.t
men. .It is asserted that. Santocildes has advanced
as far.as Astorga. If the plans, which are sad to-.
bein ;agitation, are spiritedly a6ted upon, the North
cf. Spain, will cOntrinute.greatly to the salvation of
the Peninsula.. " 'lt we- were furniihed with the

necessary assistance, we could in. a short time bring'
uvwards of 50,000 GAiciatts' into toe fritlid 1."
short, the ge,t,eral mass of the pOi.:ulittion are ready;
incase of need, to defend their cou'utry.--(From the
Cunciso of Jane 27.)
