BAYONNE, AUGUST 26.

For some time past there have been considerable'
movements among the troops stationed in the north
of Spain, and of which the numbers have been aug-
mented. A neiv army of reserve is forming in the
northern provinces of Spain, and we are assured that
it will march forward as soon as its organization shall
be entirely completed, and will shortly occupy Old
Castile.
A part of the army of the north has advanced into
the provinces of Leon and Salamanca, and has push-
ed on to the frontiers of the northern part of Porto-
gal. Its head-quarters are at Valladolid, but it is be-
lieved that they will speedily be transtetred to Sala-
manca.

The division of French troops forming part of the
army of Portugal, under the orders of the Duke of
Ragusa, which atter the departure of the latter for
Estremadura remained in the province of Salamanca,
has also begun its march for the banks of the Gua•
diana, where it will rejoin the army to which it be.
longs. We are assured that the garrison of Ciudad
Rodrigo has received the same destination. All
these troops have been replaced by a corps of the
army of the north.
It appears from the latest accounts from E.strama.
Jura, that hitherto nothing very important has oc-
curred there. The French troops continue to occupy
the positions which they took after the retreat of the
English, and the deliverance of Badajoz. They are
masters of both banks of the Guadiana. The can-
tonments of the army are very extensive, a circum-
stance which prevents it from suffering much from
the extra-rdinary heat of this summer, and occasions
its having very few sick.
At the s.:me time we learn that the positions of the
English troops, and of the Portuguese and Spaniards
with which they are combined, are very circumscri-
bed, because the enemy's Generals expect every ;no-
tnent to he at.acked by the French ; and from this
cause ahne, epidemic diseases make great ravages
among their troops. Lord Wellington must at last',
have formed a resolution to change the position of
his army.

Andalusia continues to enjoy the greatest tranquil-
lity. Public feeling is there very good ; the agents
of insurrection find that it is a soil not at all favoura-
ble to them.

The force employed in the siege of Cadiz has been
lately augmented. That siege is about to be pushed
with new vigour, from which the happiest results are
expected.
All accounts from Spain agree in announcing that
misunderstanding runs very high between the Eng-
lish and the Spaniards at Cadiz, of which the English
wish to take entire possession, under pretence that
they have reason to fear lest that city should other-
wise fall into the hands of the French. The bombard-
ment of Cadiz has recommenced.

The partial destruction of the bands of brigands is
proceeding in all quarters with activity and success.
On the 13th instant, the Chief of Battalion Fournealix
dispersed a column of 1000 men of the bands of the
Empecinado, killing or taking about 200 of his men,
and 300 English muskets quite new. Abril was
wounded, and lost 40 men, in attempting to attack
an escort at Ontonares.

Belianos the younger, who had succeeded his bro-
ther in the command of the bands which infested the
Gariga, perished on the 21st in an ambuscade ; and
of all his band, attacked by General Henriot, only
eight men escaped.
Since the capture of Tarragona the army of Cam-
po Verde has been incessantly porf.ited and haras+cd
on all sides ; it has dispersed into small bands, which
are destroyed by the attacks which are successively
made upon them ; Campo Verde himself, to save his
life, has abandoned his army.
