Where penury's pale offspring dwell.

See the fond mother, children, sire,
Hang Ger the couch, with painful throes
And see one lovely ktedge crhbe!
Perhaps they aowery days had seen,
When all around was peace and Joy
When beams of plenty on them shone,
And shed pure bliss without alloy.
Go, view the loathsome prisons gloom,
Where the poor, hapless, debtor lies;
Enclos'd within " a living tomb
In vain for heavenly freedom signs.
Torn from his wife and children dear,

L1snoN, June 10.


After the feat of Soult;n the battle of Albuhcra,
aud of the conquest of Figueras IN Catalonia, the
military operations of the French in Peninsula,
have necessarily been changed very considerably.
Souchet leaving few troops in Arragon, and on the
frontiers of Valencia, marched to Catalonia to join
Macdonalds corps, and TO threaten Tarragona and
20 endeGvOur to restore the affairs OF his
try, which in that province, were in the lowest
state.
Soult seeing the 5th army driven beyond Llerena,
Olivenza taken, and Badaios bcsieged, joined the
reserve of the army OF Andausa TO the 5th army,
drew ell the forces he could possibly obtain from Sc
bastani, and Victor, and with army Of &c to o.
900 men, endeavoured to relieve Badajos, in which
he defeated with great loss Soult being no
doubt directed keep possession of Andalusia At all
events ifpossibe, General Drouet ordered from
the north TO his assistance, with army of about
5000 men. About the same time General Marmont
with the remains of the army of Portugal marched
to the south Of Spain. The possession Of Andalusa,
seems primary, and the relief OF Badaios, secon-
diary object, if we may Judge froh these various
movements In the mean time the two great pro-
vinces of Old and New CASTLE and Leon, and that Of
ArFagon remain with very few troops in consequence
OF which, the two armies of Galacia and Valencia,
have excellent opportunity OF overcoming
the small French garTisons that in them, recon
querng many towns, and Of regdining the ground
lost, whilst those provinces were occupied by the
French.
When we turn 20 the south Of Spain, SIS il regards
the grand armies, IL is be observed that the corps
of Sebastian and Victor, which we're left to keep in
check the Sd and 5th Spanish armies, rot com
pctent TO that object Sebnstianis corps routed
by gen. Freyre, and If that of Victor is attacked
the probability is that it viii experience the same
fstc, or az cas, that il will find itself in very
barrassed situation under these circumstances
Sout must either JOIN these corps TO bis and lose
Andalusia; or he will be compelled TO make detach-
mcnts from his own army to support those other
corps If our excellent general docs not think proper
to purchase victory in a great battle, and by tbc
loss of much blood. The French cannot keep uni
ted long, as they hold those provinces by the point
of the bayonet.
It is not our intention TO anticipate what viii be
done--what we have remarked is the actual state
Of sfsirs, from which judgmoAt OF the future may
be formed
