Q. Are you acquainted with the roads pastingosli - •

;bra to Tarragona ?—A. There are seven of thiin,
of including a good carriage road over Mentblatic.
have been all over five of these roads mself, end
are marked them in a map, which' I always Ur-
ied with me, and which, if the Court thinks pro.
er, I will lay on the table. Of the seven toads
f which I have spoken, the whole are practicable
,r cavalry and. infantry, with softie difficulty in
ame of them for the cavatry•;" six of:them are not
racticable for artillery, unless light and dismounted.
Q. Are you acquainted with the roads from Villa-
anca to Tarragona ?—A. Several miles before the
,ad from Villafranca approaches Tarragons; 41 44,..
ranch of it gees to•the tight; and then `branching''
rain, one of these reads passes over the Col de
iota Christina, and the other through the Roea de
lever, consequently; there are three roads all car-
ageahle, '-by which Tarragona may be approached
om Villafranca, besides which, there are several
.her roads, some carriageable' and some not, which
neeh off to the right, on a nearer approach to Tar.
sons, and which are marked in pencil by me, were
at before engraved on the map I have laid on the
ble. The carriage roads are distinguished by 4
.uhle lines, and there is not one of them marked
'that map, which was not done on the ground ;
Asequently, I am quite certain of them. The
sp relates merely to the Archbishoprick of Terra- .

Q. Was the embarkation of the 12th of June con.
icted with regularity 2--A. As much so as an em-

veld be.

Q. Did you perceive any confusion which could •
ar the construction of disgraceful or discreditable
his Majesty's service?—A. None. -:-.....=.;5p., .

00 men, on an open beach, withont•any advantage(
position, might have been very-much harassed by
e garrison of Tarragona itself, which could send .
