The more the intelligence from Spain.
which we communicated yesterday, is con-
sidered, the more gloomy it appears. Sir
Arthur Wellesley Admitted in his dsyatch.
cs, that after the battle of + tlavera, Victor
retIeated III very regular order, ami tnar
some DAYS elapsed before he withdrew his
rear guard To this evidence She wing that
his defeat was not decisive we NAV now add
the rapidity with which he returned to Ia
iavera, the moment he found lbe British ar
my had commenced its retreat The sud
den and rapid advance of Sout to Placentia.
shews how erroneous al our ideas have beef,
respecting his situation. His army was re-
presented as mere hand full of fugitives.
totally incapable Of any military operation.
and yet we find that he has been able to Join
Ney, with whom he was stated to have quar-
relied, and Mor,ier, who is now noticed for
the first time. and bv rnasS erly movement
OF almost unexampled rapdity, to reach
Piacentia, al moment when Sir r. Vellcs-
ley Supposed him wandering IN he north of
Spain, Tor it Is evideu' that he did iut thins
hinl capable of making such movement.
IL thus appears that the movements Of Vic :
tor and Soult were the resut Of deep and
well concerned plan, to envelope and over
