The vattemardef the army of Soult, which the
said Franc:melt commanded, and it hieh is arrived
at Caesars, consists of six regiments of..infantry.
and six of cavalry, making in the syholc. only 4
or 50t)0 men, as the regiments are very weak on
acconsit of their losses, and their win...runs sick.
On the 2d Marshal Swill himself arrived at Came-
ra, and will be followed by the rest of the army.
The Spanish Colonel I),m Nlanoel Garia de Bar-
rio, Commissary of the Marquis de Remain, as.
sures us that the French have evacuated all Galli-
cia, and that the army of Marshal Ney has fid.
lusted that of Soult oo its .march to Castile.

A letter from the Commissary at %Var., Dursil,
to the Intendant-General of the army of Soult,
in Madrid, dated Camara, June V, lap—" The
administration of the second corps of the army
is in a must deplorable state, and I entreat that
you will leirnediat.ly send us assistance. Nine
months pay b owing to the soldiers, and the re.
giments have lost their chests and baggage at
Vigo. The soldiers are without shoes, both in.
fantry and cavalry. The loss of the chests and
hagsagedeprives us of any tesoarce for cloathing,
and the Officers are reduced to a lamentable situ-
ation. 'l'be Sub-Inspector Laherse it dead, and
Mr. Everard kick at Logo. The Paymaster-Ge-
neral was made prisoner at his house at Vigo. At
Peoafiel, u no carriages could be obtained, the
money which was in the chests was given up to
pillage, because it was better that the French sol-
diers should have it than the enemy, who followed
us very closely; and there was no place where re.
gular distributions 'could he made. On the sth
dby of our retreat, the English attacked us at
eleven at night, and threw our troops into (limn-
der.

" On the second day of oar retreat we had the
misfortune to lose Mr. Oyetiset. This commis-
sary was made prisoner by a patrole of the army
of 'Marshal Beresford in pursuit of Gen. Loisuu.
I must entreat you, General, to give the neces-
sary orders that all the transports intended for the
regiments of the army, and k►hieh were to have
been sent from Bayonne and Valladolid, may
proceed immediately for Zamora."
In a letter from Marshal Souk to Gan. Fran.
aschi, dated Puebla de Sonahria, June 26, the
former writes that he had set out with his division
for Camora, by the way of Mon Boni, that he
had represented to his Catholic Majesty, Don
Joseph I. that his troops were in want of aH kinds
of necessaries, and requesting that the requisite
baggage and military stores should be sent to him
at Camora.

In a letter from Marshal Soult to Joseph Na-
poleon, he writes that he bad left in Lugo 9G7
sick. " The insurgents," he says, " taking ad.
vantage of a good position at St. Claudio, kept
up a constant fire upon their column, which
found itself obliged to retire with some loss. Gen.
!Jolson ordered the village to be burned, u also
that of Caldelas, in revenge fur their having as-
sassinated H 5 men of the ith regiment."
On the 24th, all the troops funned a junction
at PaeWa de Sonabria, which place - they left on
the 29th and 30th, and arrived at Carnets on the
2d of July. The Marshal requests his Majesty
Joseph to send him the succour he had applied for
on the 30th of May :—" Your Majesty," he
says, " must be sensible that it is now more than
five months since I have received any order*, no-
tices, or succours of any kind, and const•quently,
that I must be in want of maiiy things, and igno:
rant of the general dispositions. The establish.
ment of an hospital is indispensible, and a supply
of provisions for four months, which would be
the only means to prevent the French from being
obliged to seek them in the houses of the peasants,
and being murdered by them. Fur this, and to
put Gallicia in a state of a defence, a million of
reels would be necessary."
SkYILLI, JULY 7.—Lieutenant-Gener el De
Venegas has sent the following report to Don An.
tunio Cornel :—" 1 have the honour to transmit
to your Excellency the report of the action of
Toralba, which I have received from Colonel Dun
Louis Lacey, and which is as follows :

" Mom kzent.r.grit Sin—The first trial of dying corps,
composed of the Regiment of Burgos, of a company of the
chemicals of Cuenca, and the regiment of cavalry of Fran-
cisco, was made 3esterday in the environs of Tondba, by me-
prising and routing the lit regiment of the Polish shims, the
80th and 26th regiments of French ebainesin, and two West-
phalian regiments of light bor.-e, with two pieces of mono*.
About live o'clock in the a/newton I received intelligence
that the first enemy's corps occupied that place; I hammed
from Almagro to attack that place; the enemy gave the ne-
cessary orders to commence the attack as soon as the *bleu-
nay of the night should favour their design. As sous as it
was dark. I marched at the bead of my troop., and occupied
a large plain clew to the town, where, considering the time,
position, and superiority of the enemy, a most glorious attic*
was fought. The field wow covered. with the enemy's simiu ;
his wounded most be very numerous ; lances. helmets, all de-
scriptions of arias, horses, and me sole primmer to bear wit.
DM to the fact's, are tbe knit of that Liftman night. in which
our troops fought with uncommon gallantry nod enthusiasm.
We are informed by the said prisoner and by .two German
dragoons who have deserted, that the enemy suppose to have
been attacked h,y upwards of INXlD.Sposiards, which pretend.
ed supposition is perhaps merely intended to cover_ the dis-
grace of being attacked by only 900 foot, and 350 cavalry.—

An article of intelligence of that date, under

palliated...the.immenso less of the enemy is in.
sisted upon ; and the most favourable expectatiods
excited with a view to keep alive" that hope,
which can no longer exist in the mind of any en.

and other booty.
" The Berlin Gazette is prohibited at Vienna,
and contradicts the French Bulletins. ,
sl The Archduke's centre was not forced—be
made 8000 prisoners—and had taken an invinci-
ble position.
' The ease authentic prirateadeirts state, that
the road was quite covered with carriages, filled
with wounded French ; and although the loss of
the battle is not denied—it was solely awing to the
