vert any use being made of them
His lordship kept up with the rear OF
the French army, but had always te
attack them Under every disadvan-
tage, as the enemy never fought ex-
cept IN very strong and favorable DO
sitiors, bat the light troops have pur..
sued them 30 very close that great
numbr who could not keep up have

Wellington expresses the highest in.
dignation at the conduct of the S anish
General at Badajos, who capitulaled.
notwithstanding lord Wellington sent
him assurances that If he would hold

lord with $4,000 men would Join him

of worms anu man. fatal disorders. The To-
zenges are particularly efficacious In carrying
off all gross humois and eruptions, teverish
and bilious complaints, and are the safest and
mildest purgatiye that can be urged on any
