THE ARMY:

u LISBON, JUNE 22.
(PRIVATE LETTER.)
66 The particulars of the capture of Salamanca
you will receive in the official accounts, but I send
you some particulars previous to that event on which
you may rely, and which will prove gratifying to
your military readers.
gg After having refreshed and concentrated his
army, and got the cavalry into good order, Earl
WELLINGTON moved forward himself against MAR-
MONT in the North, leaving SOULT to the gallant Hai,
who commands the
,southern army. Even the 4th
Dragoon Guards have now got their horses into or-
der, and joined the army.

44 The number of deserters, and among them great
numbers of non-comthissioned officers, who flock in
to our army from the enemy is prodigious, and must
greatly wealcen his force : in one day 150 came in
with their horses : they have been obliged to
send all the Germans, Swiss, and Poles to the rear,
leaving only Frenchmen and sane Italians in front
and near out-posts.

,4 The army which had for some time been silently
collecting near Guinaldo and Ciudad Rodrigo, was
reviewed by Lord WELLINGTON, by divisions, on the
6th, 7th, Bth, 9th, 10th and 11th, reviewing a division
each day. On the 9th Sir T. GRAHAM came up,
and a grand council of war was held, at which like-
wise, Marshal BERES?ORD, Sir STAPLETON COTTON,
Baron ALTEN, and other Officers assisted.

46 A letter which we have seen says, that' the joy
of the troops was unbounded on seeing the Her of
Barossa among them : he had been very ill, and the
report was preitalent that he could not soon join
again. Never was man more venerated or adored
by men and officers, by a whole army, than the gal-
lant GRAHAM IS.'

4g In the reviews where so many gallant regiments
made a fine appearance, we understand that the
King's regiment of Foot, and the Ist Battalion of the
42d, with the two heavy Dragoon regiments of the
King's German Legion, attracted most notice: but
Lord WELLINGTON appeared most pleased with the
Light Division, which that excellent Officer, General
ALTEN, keeps up nearly in the same state as when
the much lamented CRAWFORD had them.

•4 By the latest accounts from the interior of Spain,
the wretched inhabitants are in the utmost distress for
provisions. Since the French retreated, great num-
bers from the interior flock to the frontier towns, a
very great number from Madrid and Valladolid have
come into Ciudad Rodrigo quite famished, imploring
bread.

4, A Guerilla party lately captured the whole of
the French dispatches, containing their returns,
strength of the army, and of every corps, and sent the
whole to Sir T. GRAHAM.
" MARMONT'S army continues to suffer much from
disease, they have 7,000 with flux and fever in Valla.
dolid and Madrid.

a The measure of attaching to every British regi.
ment 100 Spaniards, for which of course you have
heard Lord WELLINGTON received the permission of
the Regency after the fail of Badajos, succeeds most
admirably—more men having offered themselves as
volunteers than could be accepted. They are cloathed
and accoutred precisely the same as our own men ;,
and that they mays acquire the manceuvres and be as
perfectly efficient as our own men in every respect,
each Spaniard is placed in the ranks between two
British soldiers, who have the charge of instructing
him. Another advantage attending this arrange-
ment too is, that however reduced any English
regiment may become from sickness or service, we
shall always have it in our power to keep up
the number of Spaniards, and they again, will, in
a short time, famish such a number of veteran
officers and soldiers to organise their own arrnier,
as will make them alone, under the blessing of Con,
more than a match for their unprincipled invaders,
who, I think, now stand a fairer chance than ever
of being shortly glad to reach their own side of the
Pyrenees, as completely abandoning Spain as they
have already done Portugal."

This morning, his, Royal Highness the PRINCE
REGENT, attended by their Royal Highnesses the
Dukes of SUSSEX and CAMBRIDGE, And a numerous
Staff, reviewed the 18th (Hussar) Regiment Wile*
Dragoons, on Hounslow Heath.
Dom—Saturday evening a meeting took place at
Birmingham-Heath, between- LieutenAnt N. of the
12th, and Lieutenant J. of the 24th Foot. Both find
at the same instant, when LieutenantN. was wounde4
in tio throat, but not danFerously.
