had joined General Hill, and had under him a forte
of more than 100,000 men, including Spaniards,
which was hourly increasing. Lord Wellington is
said to be in the neighbourhood of Valladolid ; if so,
General Hill must have retreated from Arai*
in order to effect a junction with his Lordship, t
tremendous battle must be fought very :hot*, of
