those Portuguese troops that have remained
faithful to the true interests of their coun

You must be aware, Seignior Governor,
that your refusal OF proposition so honour

troops. will expose both yourselves and the
inhabitants to the horrors of a siege, and
the fate which awaits a garrison carried
by assault

Nothing particular has occurred since
Yesterday. The enemy seems to have but
an inconsiderable force in front of this place.
This day opened my fire TO protect some
small parties that had sent out to forage.
also sent party to the convent to ascer-
tain whether there was any communication
with the bridge. In the convent they found
a few men. whom they dslodged: but our
party we're soon obliged to fall back in con
sequence of some light troops having been
detached to cut off their retreat The enemy
lost few men in this skirmish, and we had
an officer and four or FIVE men slightly
wounded. The enemy moved two mortars
to the right of the mills, and threw few
shells, one of which fell within the walls,
and the other into the ditch, but with out
doing any mischief. / have the honor to

The artillery of the place played with some

their appearance, aud have also had few
petty skirmishes with some of the enemy's
light troops. which shewe'. themselves un-
der the. walls OF the place.
"Is is extremely difficult to ascertain the
real intention OF the enemy, & the force they
have in front of the place but according to
the best calculation can make, their force
may consist of from 1900 TO 5000 cavalry, &
from TO S battallons of infantry

so many movements without order OF. method
that it was impossible to determine their

"The major part of their force extends
from the high road OF Val de la Mula down by
the wind mills as far as Junca but they have
this day also made movement by their
right, in the direction of the Five Towns.
