OF POLICE AT GRANADA.

" You are directed to continue to make the most
active and diligent exertions for discovering the au-
thor of the proclamation placarded in one of the pub-
lic places of your city, as you inform me in your let-
ter of the 4th inst. and also all persons concerned in
placarding the same.
You are to take care that one or more agents of
police shall, in future, at an early hour every day, go
round the different public places where papers are
usually stuck up, and on finding any of a seditious
tendency, pull it down before it can be read or made
known to the public ; and also that some officers visit
the said places at a late hour of the night, for the dis.
covery and apprehension of persons placarding such
papers ; and, finally, you are to take whatever other
means may be thought necessary to prevent their be.
ing stuck up and made public. (Signed) emus.

=MIL PROM MAMMAL VICTOR TO THE PAINCZ OS

WAGRAM.
"I had the honour of informing you Serene High.
ness, towards the end of March, of the destitute con-
dition of the officers and soldiers of the Ist corps;
and at the same time, of representing to you, that
their pay was then between eight and nine months in
arrear. Since then nothing has been done to relieve
the sufferings of either; for the officers have had only
a month's, and the serjeants, corporals, and soldiers,
a fortnight's pay.
a In the mean time, provisions have become dea-
rer ; and the troops being on the one hand compelled
to undergo the laborious service of a siege, and to pro- •
vide themselves with necessaries at a very high price;
and, on the other, receiving no assistance whatsoever
on the part of the inhabitants, the army is in the most
lamentable situation—nay, I may add, in the r'atest
distress.—.l cannot conceal from your Serene Wet.
ness, that the privations suffered by the soiditib wake
me apprehensive of fatal consequences. The enemy,
well aware of our condition, have availed themselves
of it to introduce into the army a number of crimps,
who unfortunately obtain • a favourable hearing, bit
making splendid promises to men who feel the pres-
sure of their necessities.
44 I earnestly beseech your Serene Highness, to
pay particular attention to the situation of the
troops of the first corps, whose loyalty to the person
of the Emperor your Highness so well knows, and
that you will be pleased to give directions lot the im.
mediate payment of the arrears due to the officers and
soldiers. (Signed) 46 Vicroa,
Marshal of the Empire' and Duke of Belluno

EXTRACTS OF A LETTER FROM GENERAL DARMAGNAC,
GOVERNOR OF LA MANCHA.

" M. de la Colombiere, an Officer of your Staff;
was attacked on the 23d, between Santa Cruz, and
Valdepenas, by a body of 300 banditti, foot and horse.
.Of the 30 men that formed his escort, one was kilkd
and ten wounded : he, however, saved his dispatches•
and the express who was with him, but with the loss
of his horse. The conductor of the mail has lost

-part of the letters, the rebels h.tving killed the bona
of the post-boy who'had charge it it. The conduce
tor received live sabre cuts, and the whole party have
lost their baggage.--The division of cavalry, miaow.
. ced so long ago, has not yet made its Appetite;ice,
though its presence is more necessary nay day.--
Your orders, perhaps, have not reached them. Fur
my part, I have bad no account whatever of two
co. irier. , whom I forwarCe I- a long time past.
" Without this corps of.cavalry, our communica-
tions will be extremely difficult, in consequence of the
enemy's parties that scour La Mancha. All of them
being mounted, they direct their course with extreme
rapidity Against our weak points, and easily set the
infantry at defiance."
