the Caya, between this place and Arronches.
The enemy's advanced guard appeared
this day in the vicinity of Radajoz and am
persuaded the whole army viii concentrate
tomorrow at or near Merida.
The enemy has now collected all the forces
that were in CASTLE, in Madrid, and what is
called the Army of the Centre; also the
whole force that was in Andalusia, with the
exception of what was necessary to maintain
his position before Cadiz, and that with which
general Sebastian occupies the eastern part
of Andalusia. Thus has the enemy abandon
ed both the CASTLES, leaving only small gar
rison in Madrid, by which he has collected
one grand army in Estramadura.

however, On the next day was mtgsted 10 this CT

that city, and had sent several grenades, together
with round shot, into the city, the of the S,h
