At length intelligence has arrived from
Span, and We rejoice tossay, that it's OF a
favorable nature. The Orestes is arrived
at Falmouth ineeleven days from Corun-
M.
The dispatches received by government
from Corunna arc to the 14th December,
and from sir John Moore of the 9Th instant.
Il was known at Corunna, that the French
were IN possession OF the Escurial, bur it
was believed in Galicia and Asturias, that
they had been repulsed from Madrid with
very great slaughter.
Sir John Moore has pushed a corps to
Zamora, and sir David Baird was on his
march to Join him. The united force of the
British army would then be 10000 men
The marquis de Romana's army, at Leon,
exceeds 10000, and is daily increasing
The Spaniarls, so far from being depress-
ed, are full of spirits, and as determined as
ever to persevere in their just and glorious
cause.
The dispatches from Cir John Moore,
stated that the latest intelligence he had re-
ceived was that Madrid held out. What
The date Of that intelligence is we have not
heard.
Sir David Baird, he adds, was advancing
towards a juno ION with him.
We know not how to reconcile the above
intelligence with the statement in the last
Paris papers received OF the 14th mot.
SIR John Moore's account that the city
still held oue, would shew that the French
were besieging it. Yet according to the
French papers it made no reslstance--and
capitulared IS soon as the enemy appeared
bz fore it. Salamanca IS not more than 100
miles from Madrid and later intelligence
than the 4th might have reached Salamanca
on The 8 h.
The account do.s not mention that Ma
drid was IN state of siege--but that the
enemy had been repulsed from it with great
loss, and had marched to the Escurlal, in
orderto place themselves between iiadrid
and our army, which might be advancing
by that road to the assistance OF the capital.
