lamented, on the contrary, in the usuI
boastiul language Of the French, that the
Spanish commander should have Calltn
back without the discharge of a cannon
as though 1t was through the prowess of
the Invaders that he abandoned his advan-
ccd positions, and not because his tanks
had been turned an operation which We are
informed Says the Morning POST lad been
executed by Donadieu aud the Baron DE-
roles. Private letters, however, continue
to speak OF sangainary engagement in
that quarter, and to assert that the victory
remained doubtful, which, even if that
we're the case, would be nearly tautalnount
to victory on the part of the constitutions

Thus far we have CLEANED principally

an excellent summary Of the accounts writ

which we have derived some assistance in

from Bayonne asserts, on the authority Of

papers, although we doubt the truth OF the

formed between the Portuguese General
and Morillo, at Leon, and that united, they

Madrid was tranquil. The Condo Absbal
was said TO have adopted every measure To
prevent excuses being committed by the
band OF the Faith, in case il became adyi-
sable to evacuate the capital IN the ap.
proach of the French troops. In the inter.
val the inhabitants of either rank or pro-
perty were quitting the city, with their el-
icets aud families, in crowds. The proc
lamatlon OF the Junta had cxasperated the
most lnhewarm and their atrocous pro-
ceedIngs IN Biscay and Navarro, where
prescription was going ON in its worst
forms, had convinced all Spaniards What
