has occurred here. We are in datly expectation of
a-frigato which has sailed from London with
30,000 muskets, with which we will arm as many
tbouasods of men. This part of Spain,will not
submit to the French, but rise in a man to oppose
their entrance. A sufficient number of cartridges,
sod 200 pieces of cannon, have been distributed
through these provinces.
Three days ago the frigate Cornelis arrised at
Ferrol, from Cadiz, with two millions of dollars.
The French remain in the Asturias, and are in
number about 4,800; but the troops of General
Ronealez, and:,thuse which have entered this
province, hold: them between two fires. On the
side of Astorga, the enemy is at Port Ordigo awl
its vicinity. Tho fortifications of this pier are
repairing and enlarging.
