IDIS-TRICT OF SANABRIA, JUNE 26.

The mere name of Sr. Cuesta is gratifying even to
the remote confines of his command, but is no where
listened to with so much enthuNiasm as in the centre
of Castile. The affair of tha bridge at CabezOn was
highly creditable to him ; and the orderly retreAt
which he made without regular troops, without artil-
lery, without c avalry, conducting small army tb
Benevente by Rio Seco and Mayorga, without once
losing sight of the enemy, has been the subject of en-
comium with the most intelligent, as a bold ezpe.
dient to detain the 'French in Valladolid, and to save
the re-.- of Castile, which, no doubt, would have suf-
fered all those calamities which the people are accus-
tomed to endure whenever these intimate allies, and
lend friends, make their appearalce. By the flight
of the French from Valladolid, and the insurrection
in Portugal, the cities cf Castile had time to breathe,
which were threatened at the same moment by Be-
' sieve;, Murat, and Junot, Cindad, Rodrigo, Sala-
manes, and Zamora, were thus relieved from their
difficulties. We have our enlistments ready—and
the principal part of our Volunteers are proceeding to
Benevente ; to which place, under the orders of the
r. Cuesta, many loads of ammunition, several
pieces of light cannon,.and tools and utensils for a
campaign, are advancing. We have already here a,
• 12-pounder, a 24-pounder, and we are to have eight
• more of equal calibre, with a foanidable train of cul-
verins, in consequence of the agreeable intelligence
received from Portugal.
