TWENTYFI FIRST BULLETIN OF THE
FRENCH ARMY IN SPAIN.
No Date

The English entered Spain on the goth
October; during themonths of November &
December, they beheld the destruction of the
army OF Gallicia at Espinosa of the army Of
Estremadura at Burgos, of thar of Arragon
and Valencia, at Tudela; of the army ofre-
serve at Some Sierra in fine, they beheld
the fall of Madrid without making a single
movement and without any attempt to sue
cour the Spanish armies, to whom however,
division of the English troops would have
proved of considerable assistance. In the
beginning of December, information was re-
ceived that the columns of the British army
were retreating on Corunna, where they were
to re-embark. By later accounts, it after
wards appeared that they had halted, and
that on the 10th Dec. they set out from Sa-
amanca in order to take the field. AS ear
ly as the 18th, the light cavalry had march
ed from Valladoid. The whole of the En-
ghsh army pas ed the Douro, and arrived on
the Esd in presence of the duke Of Dalmatia
at Saldanha. AS soon as the Emperor was
apprised at Madrid of this unexpected de =
termination on the part of the English, he
marched IN order to cut off their retreat, and
pursue their rear. But Notwithstanding the
diligence exerted by the French troops, the
passage of the mountain of Guadarrama.
which was covered with snow, the incessant
their march full two days-On the 22d the
Emperor left Madrid. His head quarters
were on the 23d at Villa Castin, the 25th at
Iordesillas, and on the 27th at Medino de
Rio Secco. On the gath, at break of day
the enemy had began to move, in order to
out1ank the left of the duke of Dalmatia but
having been informed during the morning of
the movement that took place at Madrid,
they Immediately began to retreat, abandon
ing their Spanish adherents, whose passions
they had inflamed, the remains of the CALI
clan army, that had conceived fresh hopes,
some OF their hospitals, part of their bag
gage, and great number of stragglers.-
They committed great devastationS, the in :
evtable result of forced marches of troops
In retreat-they carried away with them
mules, horses, and several other effects-they
piilaged great number of churches and
converts. In the abbey Of Sahagun, which
contained 60 monks, and which all along had
been respected by the French army, they
