" The old Captain-General Eguia, formerly Minister of War,
Member of the Provisional Government in 1623, so well known
for the obstinate struggle which he maintained during the revo-
lution with the Constitutional Government, died the day before
yesterday of apoplexy. The state of his health had not allowed
him to leave his room for two or three years.
" Independently of the forces sent towards the frontiers of Por-
tugal, and to the camp of reserve at Talavera, the Sth Regiment
of Light Infantry, in garrison at Madrid, is going to leave us, in
order, as it seems, to reinforce the camp at St. Rock. It is else
proposed to send to the Canaries two battalions, now at Ceuta.
Vessels are hired for this purpose, and have been ready for this
month past ; the delay of this expedition is ascribed to want of a
convoy.

" The Portuguese Government on its part is very actively
employed in putting into a state of defence the frontier of Alca-
tel°, on the right bank of the Guadiana. It has assembled 'eve-
ral thousand soldiers, and put garrisons into some places, Ina as
Estretnos and Evoramonte. It is affirmed that English engi-

'leers are visiting the line, and inspecting the fortifications on the
principal points.

Count de Villa Flor, and retired towards Piaci.
" For some days, the cold bas been more severe at Madrid than
has been known for some :•ears. It is said that sonic persons
died suddenly in consequence. It is certain that the mortality
has much increased since the commencement of winter.
Pleurisies and inflammation on the lungs, diseases whisk are al-
most endemic in this capital during the bad season, have already
carried off a great number of persons."

round which almost all the forces put in motion by the Cabinet
of Madrid are collecting. It seems, however, that the principal
corps will be at Badajor, doubtless because this part of the Spa-
nish frontier is nearest to Lisbon ; besides, in case of war, this
corps would have to act alone, whereas that of Salamanca would
only have to march forward, in order to join the Royal Portu-
guese army which occupies the province of Beira.'
