invaders with their whole energies. Full of con -
dence in the resu,li of the war, the people. rich and
poor, were daily coming forward with Contributions
for the support of the Government. The Imperial
City of Moscow has nobly undertaken to raise and
equip an army of 80,000 men: —Prince Saboff has
given 150,000 ducats, and an immense quantity of
flour.—Countess Orloff has contributed three Mil-
lions of rubles, and patriotic subscriptions were set
on foot in every hamlet in Russia. If the sinews of
war are to be strengtaeoed in this manner by the
unanimous co-operation of the immense Russian
Empire, the hour when the struggle is carried on
foot to foot, a nd man to man, will be a glorious one
for Russia and for the World. —Would to Gon that

" LISBON, JULY 14.

" The combined army having continued its march
towards Valladolid, Marmont pretended to make
front at Tordisellas, and with a large corps of ca-
valry and artillery, to defend the passage, but when
seemed determined-to invest the place, or support an
attack, and a corps of Cacadores adva'nced on the
enemy's left flank, they got in dis7rder, and were
obliged to retire, leaving the passage free to our troops.
On this occasicn, it is said, the French lost 500 men."

" LISBON, JULY lg.

gg While General Hill remained at Llerena, he
learnt that Drouet had taken a position near Bulanga,
and was determined to fight there; he therefore ad.
vanced, and after some slight skirmishing, in which
we (Id not lose a man, whilst the enemy had a Lieu-
tenant-Colonel of cavalry and some men taken, they
took to their heels and fled to Usagre. General Hill
returned to Llerena, where he remained on the 13th
i►:st. On that day 15 Polish lancers deserted to us,
who say, that the French literally subsist on the grain
they daily plunder, which is made into bread by the
infantry. They have no depot, except a very scanty
ono at Cordova, which Soult has forbidden to be
touched ; and that if affairs continue long in their
present state, all the foreigners will desert the French
service. Soult is not with this army,- nor do the de-
serters know where he is.
