the part of the Spanish Army than it would he in an-
other nation less attached to its native land, beeauA.

but alters not, the ultimate rc.ults of our triutop!K. Did not
the Spaniards lose the battle of Slesillm, and along with it
all Estremadona ? and io a short time after, they rendered
themselves masters of that province, without any pitched
batik. Did they ant lose the battle of Ciudad Real and Al-
asonacid, and in conseqsence thereof La Mancha, mad yet
they retook La Mooch.? Did they not lose 11w battle of
I Uel.s, and are they not at prewnt masters of the whole
