it is now clearly ascertained that h 4 Lordship is on]
the advance with the allied army in the direction of
Ciudad Rodrigo. The reason of this movement is
fully accounted for in his Lordship's dispatch to the
Portuguese Government, given in the STAR a few

his Lordship states that it was evidently the intention
of the enemy to take up a position in a line with tke I
Tagus as being a-central situation for keeping up a
communication with all parts of Spain, and theieby as.

troops from the garrison of Tarragona to proceed
against Pensicola and other places. BESSIERES has
