All the accounts from the enemy's long blocfolding

the French army experiences ; and the discontent of
the soldiers as having arrived at the highest pitch.
It appeus Don Valemby has marched to Algesiras.
Don Gregoria Rbdrigvt s has been named Geno:il of
I3adajoz. It is said that a division of General 1341-
lastero's army has obtained advantages near Moran.
iday se'nnight the Wiltshire Militia, stationed at
Nottingham, turned out for volunteering to the line,
but from. the lapse of time, occasioned by a hasty
march of nearly three hundred miles, they had only
two 'days left of the time allowed by Government.—
Those men that vcluntcered went principally in the
7th, llth, and 41st regiments of foot.

fascia," if they could obtain any of the rich Capitals,
to be drawn on the 4th of June.
