SEVILLE, MAY IL. Ii is more than a
month since the French passed the Ri.
dassoa, and as yet nothing has happened
which we have not ioreseen; but. ON the
contrary, they have done much less than
they thought they should. If we had
believed their threats we should have ex
pected by this time to have found them
masters OF the capital, and The greater
part ofthe provinces discovered from the
general government. All this was to be
the work of a few days. Their march
TO Madrid was to be trIumphal entry !;
deputies were to arrive from all the bro.
vinces; and 'the faction was to be in,

government relative TO the meansnecessa-

Wilson, who is engaged in raising le-

during the contest between France and

from which period alone the government
has to defray all the costs OF its future
operations.
