fully conhrmed.-The official accounts OF it
are given in preceding column.-In addi-
ton, we learn, that Lord WELbINGToN
was IN sharp pursuit of the fugitive French,
and that prisoners and artillery daily added
to the magnitude of his victory. The Span
sh corps were Joining the victor with great
eagerness, and were exercising severe re-
venge onsuch Of their late oppressors as fell
under their sabres.
~" Marshal Sour had left Andalusia
and reached Toledo, on his way to succor
MARMoNr and was closely followed by
Gen. HILL with 900 men.
a. Gen. BALLEsTERos had escaped
the stratagems of LAVAL, &c. and WAS ad
vahcing from Grenada into Andalusia. He
appears TO be General of great resources
and activity .-Most of the Spanish COM
manders are now young men of talents and
patriotism. The " Grannes" of the an

ry.
~ The expedition from Sicily and Mi

The Spanish gueriNG Corps were in high
spirits and extremely active and daring !;
and their hatred of their French tyrants was
inveterate. Don SANCHES has 5000 en-
cellent cavalry, and follows in the vicinity
OF Lord WELLINGToH's army. He has
made many captures, and large proper
ton OF his troops are dressed i'll laced jack
cts made OF French officers coats, the skirts

having expressed doubts respecting the
transportation of some pieces, his Lordship

The army before Cadiz was about 1000
strong.--After the defeat of MARMoNr was
known, the Spanish Commandant request
ed permission - make an attack oil the be-
siegers, but was restrained by the Regen-
cy, who felt confident the French must i'm
meaiatelv surrender without bloodshed, or
starve. When the Maria Teresa sailed, il
was supposed negotiation for their capt.
ulation was then in tram between the En-
gish Admiral and the French Commander
8 boats were continually passing between
the French II. q. at St. Mary's, ard the Ad-
mra,'s snip, The French had thrown a
f. great number of their bomb shells Chro-
| jecGies) into Cadiz but they had done lit
