lity among the numerous population till the arrival of
the French troops ; which, accordin; to the measures
already adopted, was to take place on the 24th. Bat the
Chief, Bessieres, commanding a Royalist Spanish corps,
though he had been for some days in communication
with the division of Obert, and consequently knew that
the French Army was not to he noder the walls of Ma-
drid till the 24th, advanced to it, already on the 20th,

the city, while the main body of his troops remained at
the Akita gate. Hia_presenre created much agitation
among the people, and numerous groups assembled.

the verbal convention that had teen just concluded; but
the latter insisted on having the several gates of the city

affair, he hastened to send to Madrid Colonel de la Chasse
Visigny, of the Staff, ia order to obtain correct informa-

produced the best effect, as it announced the near arrival
of the French troops. In fact, the Vanguard'of the corps
de Reserve, which was the nearest, approached Madrid,
and as the measures ta be taken for the evacuation of the
city could not be completed till yesterday evening, the
Vanguard entered this morning at five o'clock, and its-
