BY the last aGvices received from I;sh.,, e
should seem as If no effort was makinr. BIZ
Soult to relieve Badaioz. B It We have heard
that there are accounts of the FrencI troonq
on the Iagus having actually crossed the Fl.

to restore the communication with Soul

Hill had cat off. Gen. Stopford's division.

my. HE cnemy's force on the Tagrs con.
sisted OF Gen. Montbroh's corps which BAD re.
turned from Valencia, and is supposed 70 have
been reinforced by a division of Suchct's army.
The gallant AID regiment, it is coaicctured,
as the wind has been 50 constantly favorable,
would reach Lisbon By Monday last, the day
on which tbe Morning Chronicle, for the pur.
pose no doubt of entrapping Bonaparte, said,
I" he knows that we cannot send another man
to Lord Wellington in the present disturbed

Three hundred thousand men in the PENN
ry to reiniorce them, though they tell US there
is no regular Spanish army to contend WITH
and none but " contemplate guerillas I" If
this be the fact, what encouragement does II
not bold out 10 prosecute the war in Spain q.
gainst an enemy, whose force it occupies TO
such an amount, and whose armies it thins SO
rapidly as to render it necessary to drain
France of 100000 Of her population annually
to reinforce thcn-whiic yet, with this large
force, and this constant drain, the country is as
much upsubdued in mind and heart, as little
French, as it WAS the first minute the Tyrant
set foot in it.
The picture would not be complete without
corresponding naval preparations equally &C.

On his arrival at the English lines, he was
searched, and there was found, sewed up IN
the collar of his coat small note directed TO
the French Gen. Soult, informing him that the
garrison had only ten days ammunition lett
The writer adds, that in consequence OF THIS
information, it was thought that the Governor
of Badsoz would not stand an assault, but that
if he did, it would cause number OF lives. K
is said, that Gems. Hill and Graham, are gong
to form a junction to prevent Marmont from
uniting with the army of Soult.'

to state no further disturbances have 'akeh
