lists in Jujui remained closely besieged.
Their troops dare not set foot beyond
their amendments, their communica-l
tons with the interior are so insecure

lose men, arms, and beasts every day.
On the 2oth of March there arrived at
II. Q. lac deserters, and prisoners, and
to-day 81, besides Is on their way

: patch from Manual Belgrano, General OF

J enemy have not derived the advantage
= which they expected from the possession
,, of Salta, that they have carried on hosti
: litles with great activity and fury, sacri
J ticing their men, and that they loose
many by desertion. This dispatch is ac
conpanied by number of letters from
). Don Martin Ouemes, Governor ant
= Commandant of the provinces Of Salta
e In one ofthese he estimates the enemy
= force which entered Salta at $500 men
!" and those remaining at Juiui at 600, be

q be less formidable. On the 4th Of Apri
