MARMONT'S first Aid-du-Camp was found at Fu-

in the disguise of a Spaniard : his Lordship desired
that he might be shewn every thing, and then went
out a hunting. The Frenchman expressed the utmost
astonishment at the state of things, and that the Bri-
Aish Commander should be so unconcerned, the day
after he came up in chase of them, they having been
made to understand that the British army was tho-
roughly crippled, and all desponding, having lost
' 14,000 men in the assault at Badajoz. There is no
doubt but that this report has been industriously
spread through Spain.
-By a letter from an Office at Estremoz, dated
April 29, welearn, that Generals Keefer, Bow es,Han-
vev, Pl civic, Cotantr.e, and in general all the wounded
officers unless General WALKER, were doing well, that
able and gallant officer had suffered most severely, but
great hopes were entertained of his recovery. We am,
glad to hear, from all quarters most favdurable at..
counts of the conduct of the medical men, they have.
got the highest credit for their conduct. Lord Wet,-
LINGTON has given public thanks to Dr. Roes, the
head of that department at the siege. General Pea-
cock continues to scour Lisbon of sick officers and
their attendants, and'is daily sending parties of ahem
up to the army. Generals STOPFORD and STEWART are
coming home very ill. Lord WELLINGTON requires
other able Generals in their place, as well as for the
6 vsbunded Generals. So reduced is he for Officers,
that several brigades are commanded by Captains ;
the Light Division, which the gallant and ever to be
lamented CRAwFIiRD so often led, is now comman-
ded by a Lieutenant-Colonel. The Hen. General
Anson has got the command of the 6th Division.
PRIVATE LETTERS.
" LIMN, APRIL 20.
" The success of our'arms at Badajoz still comi-
ties; to be the theme of admiration among all ranks.
There is but one corps there at present in addition to
the engineers, who are bu'sily employed in repairitin
the wails. When Lord WELLINGTON is fixed in the
Nerd), it is to be hoped that Soots will not play the
same game with Badajoz that MARMONT has done
with Ci udad Rodrigo. ~
44 The only troops in the neighbourhood of Bada-
joz are General HILL'S corps in advance with Sir
SrateLerom Carrots, and some of his cavalry. The
600 of the enemy reported to be taken by Sir STA-
mirror: Corron, are reduced to 1501 1 The enemy's
cavalry are in the most miserable state and of the
molt wretched description, while ours are in the best
order and appointment. The enemy excel in officers
of cavalry and engineers. .It is to be regretted that
Lord Wetutrozois has not received *larger force.
If he bad had any thing with. which to keep Man-
mionz in check. in the North while he followed up the
taking of Badajoz, he might have marched toCadiz,
raised the siege of that place, and placed the Cortes
at. Seville. This was perfectly practicable, and if It
had been done, Spanish corps, under the command
of British Officers, would have been raised, and we
would have had a Spanish army to depend on, the
same as we have of the Portuguese. '

this desirable arrangement will be adopted ; fOr ever

Bona, in which the latter was shot dead, and the for-
mer badly wounded.

GUILDHALL.-=-Yesterday, a person of the name of
Griffith:, was charged with going into the shop of
Mr. Lock, of Fleet-street, and tendering him a forged
one-pound note ; Mrs. Lock recollected him, as he
had given her a bad three-shilling piece three weeks
before ; she forgot to take up the note ; but Mr.
Lock coming in to the assistance of his wife, the
prisoner threw the note at him, end made his retreat,
Mr. Lock followed him, and took him into custody,
at the bottom of Holborn-hill, and brought him into
the shop of Mr. Skinner ; While he (Mr. Lock) was
inspecting the note, .he prisoner snatched it from
