London, April 15.
By the lad advices from
theFeninfula we learn that
28,000 orthe veteran troops
have been dratted from the
French armies there, and
have marched for France.
They are to be replaced by
the new raised cofs. The
men drafted weieall fdedt
men —ten from a company,
cholen a*s fit persons to ce
officers and non-comrhis
sioned officers in the new
levies for the northern war.
The idea of abandoning the
Pen mfula is not therefore
entertained ; but the French
will probably adt on the
defer five, and only exeit
themselves to occupy ftronj
placer, so as to keep po -
i'effion and keep the Britiffi
armies employed, so as to
prevent their annoy aacc
