EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER IN LORD WEL
LINGION'S ARMY, DATIED ST. JEAN DE LUX, FE* 20.
44 The weather has been, for the last ten days, as
file as we could wish it—the roads completely dried
up. Yesterday the reserve 18-pounders and rocket
brigade snoved forward towards Bayonne : they are
intended, I understand, to cover the formation of a
bridge of boats about to be thrown over the Adour,
below Bayonne. - The boats are already collected.,
chiefly from the harbours of St. Jean de Luz and
Socoa ; they only wait for planks, which require a
.considerable time to bring up. It will be 800 yards
long. A boom will be thrown Across, to prevent any
:thing coming down the river to destroy it. I saw a
snan yesterday who had j,L•st left Bayonne. He says
that the people wish to surrender, but that the citadel
completely commands the town. The roads leading
from it into the interior are fortified for 20 leagues.
It is understood that the BoultEoN standard will be
hoisted at Pau. ProLlAtuntions are printed, and ready
to be dispersed. Lord Wer.t.muron has reserved
5t155,000 Of the money lately an ived, probably for
the purpose of paying those who may join us en .that
.oceasion."
