The military preparations in our city are proceed-
jug with the greatest activity; and, it is said, the
entrance of the army into Spain will take place at
The end of March. The Chiefs-Of the Army of the
Faith only wish to be supported by two armies of
25 or 30,000 men each, one of which should. enter
Catalonia and the other Navarre; their plan is first
to attack Saragossa, which- would serve as the centre
of military operations, leaving a. strong force to
blockade Pampeluna.
The French and Spanish army in. Catalonia will
not lose its time in sieges, but march directly to Bar-
celona, seconded by a French squadron. From Sa-
ragossa, the operations will be extended to the rest
of Arragon, to Valencia, and the Two Castiles. Three

Yesterday morning a fire broke. out in the house
of a laundress, in Newtoo-place, Kilburn-road, which
destroyed a great quantity of linen.
Monday, night a tire broke‘out in the cottage of
H. Plower, Esq. near Hadley, Hens, which con-
sumed the same and two houses adjoining it. It was
supposed to have otiginatedin the laundry, and the
inmates, five in number, had a narrow escape. A
man who slept.in the room over the landing leaped
from the window in a sudden fright and broke his
thigh. No part of the valuable furniture was saved.

:sive premises of Messrs. Parry and Truss, coach-
