Gentlemen, and solo will st!e the grounds upon which I stand

therefore I should be ashamed of myself if l did dot consult

Mr. BURGOYNE then said, he was happy to
find so much impartiality in the proceedings of the
Meeting. lie SAM the majority was against him,
but detaanaled a poll, and strongly invited his
friends to adjourn to the pull-books, and support
him with all their vigour.
The poll proceeded, and at five o'clock the books

BAD AJOZ, JAN. s.—The accounts which 'daily arrive at
this place are of the most flattering kind. The Duke DEL
PARQUE and BA L LASTEROI6 it is said, are marching with
the utmost activity to form a junction iu their operations with
'the army which we have in that province, under the com-
mand of the Duke DE Matteguelov a, ail, with that of
Le Mancha, which, when united, may act with effect. and
by gaining a decisive victory over the enemy, indemnify us
for the losses we have lately suffered. In the mean time we
shall ant fail to gain many advantages over our perfidious as-
sailants. by those parties of true patriots who every day
prove that our country, if we aren't deticieat to the love of
it,•and union among ourselves, must ultimately triumph.
• The English, ander their worthy Genera!, Lord WEL*
LANGTON, who were nt this place, assure us, that they have.
occupied the points which our army had evacuated in Cradle
iii such a manner, that according to plain the, Inure tanned,.

(Lfsbute Diary. Jan. 10.)
It appears, by ull the intelligence received from Spain, that
the French forces iu that country have not yet been rein-
forced in any considerable degree, to judge from the move-
ments which they have hitherto made. The 4panish brmy
either maintain their pusition, being comblerably reinforced,
or move forwards against the enemy. la short. every thing
announces the most fortunate resalt.—(Sams Paper.)
Yesterdtv a report was current, on the strength of letters
from Castelles Blanco, that General CANA rA attacked and
defeated Vie-ma's army in La Mancha, the remains of %chick
fled in the utmost confusion io the direction of Madrid.—
( fitesinne Paperof Jan. 12.) -
BA D1.10Z; Jan. S.—Atcording to intelligence received
from gentlemen of great respertability, the French force in
Talavera de la Reyna consists of about 8000 men, horse and
foot. They who occupy Toledo, are incessantly Mancena•
ring and working at the fortifirations. The French troops in
Madrid do the same. All this shews that they do nit expect
any considerable reinforcements, but merely endeavour to
maintain theinselares in their pieseut positions, without being
able to make the least prugreA iu their coaquezts.—(Same
Paper al. Jan. 12.)

trepid Ai en*, who so soeccssfally hara.sed the-enemy in the
North, deserves Itimriorible inentiou, nmong a number of pri,
