concentration of their forces from the int
rior of Spain, than what was effected in or
der TO create an army for Soult, when he
marched for the relief of Bad 4Ios, and also
to strengthen Marmont, does not appear
practicable.
The French cannot leave the provinces
destitute of armies. The people are KEEP,

sence gives both men and succours to the
numerous guerillas by which they are sur.
rounded. Soult is gone to take the COM
mand of the French army in Murcis. A
part OF his army has been sent to reinforce
Victor before Cadiz. Bessieres has detach-
ed 1000 man to Zimore, and is also NOV
ing on Salamanca, in consequence OF Don
Julian Sanchez having threatened that city.
Rcssreres gives out that he is advancing with
his main body against Portugal. Two d.
visions of Lord Wellington's army, the Cd
and Sd, are left under Generals Hill, and
Pic:on, on the Csya, near Elvas. The
rest of the army has proceeded to the North.
General Spencer has left the army, and on
his way to England.
Lord Wellington has been indisposed, but

We understand that his royal highness
the prince regent has notified his intention
TO distinguish with gold medals the officers
of rank who have fought in the different
battles that have taken place in Spain and
Portugal, subsequent to the memorable
actions of Vlmiera, Corunna, the Douro,
and Talavera, in commemoratlon OF which,
it will be recollected, similar marks of the
royal favor and appreciation were conferred
about year ago on general officers. colo
nels, and other officers commanding battal-
ions, mot being of rank inferior to lieu
