It leached him at his head.qaarrers, at

—One of those things mod complained of

Teems, the tame complaint to make. He
expeded to find the army of Gallicia near
40,000 drong, when he carac to take the
command of if, but he found it defeated and
dispersed. He was left to collect it by his
own efforts, and he knew nod that theie
were any rtlcivcs to recruit afd twin force'

) him, when he had got out of the rech of j
j the enemv, with such part of the wreck of
the Gallician as he could lave. The
Marquis is said to have Written in a (fill
more defoond »£ ftv’c to his countryman,
the Marquis de Villadnres, who is cpine to
Corunna from Portugal, with a corps of
about acoo Spaniards, sent long since from
Gallicia to sflift in expelling the French
from Lisbon. The re-embarkation of cur
troops will take place; not at Corunna, bnt at
Vigo.
