Persons who have arrived from Madrid state that
the F., ench had demanded'l7,ooo rations for as many
soldiers which were expected from Andalusia, and
that a considerable convoy had set out for France,
the greater part composed of Juramentadoes. It was
supposed Kipg Joseph would, one of these days, ta)to
a similar direction.
VILLAFRANCO DEL VL1L7.0,. MARCH 20.
About 5000 French have again united in-Leon,
and although some persons assert their intention is
to penetrate into the Asturias, we do not believe it.
In Valladolid have entered the equipages of some
persons of high character from Madrid, and more.
are expected. ;
A person who has jest arrived from Bayonne ac.

Guard, and 4000 Poles, from Suchet's army, have ar-

CORUNNA, MARCH 25.

- - - -
Intelligence has been received from the celebrated
Mina, who, after being pursued for 15 days through
Tallies and over mountains by the French, took his
revenge in the usual manner, by routing and putting
more than 300 of them to the sword.

'f hc same letters which give this information add,
that there is not the least doubt of 22,000 enemies
having returned to France, 7000 by Jaca ani 15,000
by Vittozia : there is no appearance of others having
entered in their place, nor of fresh reinforcements.
