EXTRACT OF A LETTEII FROM A BRITISH OFFICER AT
LISEON, DATED DECENIBER 22.

" We expect a hot campaign. Tire deserter; say, that MAR-

1 MONT threatens that we bhall summer behind our lines; but in
this he will find himself mistaken.—Sucii ay, we ate told, is
making rapid advances M Valencia: some detacbmentshave been
sttit to him from Marmont's army. A week a3o I had accounts
frinn head-quarters, which indicated d forward movement in the

British army. It was thought that his Lordship intended to brat
up the quarters of the French Commander In Chit f, in conse-
quence of the great reduction in his forces; but the orders on
which this opinion was founded were almost immediately an-
nulled.—The best news I have to acquaint you with it the rapid
recovery of the sick. It Is computed by the last Retains, that
from the invalids the army has gained within theist few weeks
an additional strength of even some thousands. Proristons are.
in great abundance, e•petially flour. Our brave fenows have
their full rations, and the horses have as ample tt surliy of corn ;
but hay and straw are a treat to them."
