evacuated the City and Castle of Areas, spiking the
artillery, and that, according to the most positive in-
telligence that could be obtained, they left large
quantities of warlike stores, 4000 louthels of wheat,
and a portion of baccn and biscuit ; that in conti-

from the Governor of Alcald, to enter Bornos ; that'
some peasants having arrived at that city, the enemy
embargoed their horses, with which they arrived the
day before yesterday with the last French corps at
les Cabizas ; that, according to all appearbnces, they
would continue their retreat by the royal road, taking
with them all the horses they met, the owners of
