sortie, protected by the guns of the English

¢ Ninth Bulletin. 
Aranda, Now. 25.—-Vhe military system 
seems to have been as follows :—On the left 
was the army of Gallicia, one moiety of which 
was composed of troops of the line, and of all 
the resources of Gallicia, Asturia, and Leon. 
Inthe centre was the army of Estremadura, 
which the English troops had promised to 
support, and which was composed of all the 
resources of Estremadura and the neighbour- 
ing provinces. 
Phe army of Andalusia, Valencia, New 
Castile, and’ Arragon, stated to amount to 
80,000 men, occupied, on the 20th Novem- 
bet, Calahorra, Tudela, and the borders of 
Arragon. This army supported the right of 
the enemy, and was composed of the troops 
who formed the camp at St Roque, and/of the 
whole force of Andalusia, Valencia, Cartha- 
ena, and Madrid. It is against this army 
the French troops are now mancuvring, the 
rest having been dispersed and destroyed in 
the battles of Espinosa and Burgos. 
The head-quarters were removed on the 
‘29a from Burgos to Lermia, and on the 23d 
‘from Lerma to Aranda. 
The Duke of Elchingen marched on the 92d 
to Soria. The town was disarmed, and a 
‘Committee uf well-disposed persons appointed 
Yor the adminstration of the paovince. he 
» Duke is now in Medina Celi, and his light 
troops cross the road from Saragossa to Madrid. 
“On the 22d, the Dukes of Montebello and 
Cornegliano formed a junction near the bridge 
‘of Lodosa. 
On the 24th, the Duke of Bellune.removed 
his head-quarters to Venta Gomez. 
Almost all the roads of communication be- 
‘tween Madrid and the northern provinces are 
intercepted by our troopsy whose light parties 
have picked up a great number of couriers 
and mails. The utmost confusion seems to 
prevail in Madrid, and the whole nation 
anxiously desires the restoration of that 
tranquillity and peace, of’ which Spain has 
been deprived by the puerile arrogance and 
criminal cunning of a few intriguers. It ap- 
pears difficult for the army which forms the 
right of the enemy, and is now on the banks 
ot the Ebro, to fall back on Madrid and the 
souta of Spain. The events which are-now 
preparing will probably decide the face of 
this other moiety of the Spunish army: 
For these three days we have had damp

Tenth Bulletin. 
Aranda, Nov. 26.—-TYhe Spanish effective 
force was 180,000 effective men. Eighty 
thousand effective men, 39,000 of whom com- 
posed the armies of Gallicia and Estremadu- 
ra, commanded by Blake, Romana, and Ga- 
luzza, have been dispersed or put hors de combat. 
The army of Andalusia, of Valencia, of 
New Castile and Arragon, commanded by 
Castanos, Penas, and Palafox, and which 
likewise consisted of 80,000 men, (60,000 
armed) will soon meet its fate, as the 
Duke of Montebslio has received orders to 
attack in front, with 30,000 men, whilst 
the Dukes of Elchingen and Bellune are 
placed behind it. There are besides 60,000 
effective men (40,000 of whom are armed), 
30,000 of which are in Catalonia, and 10,000 
at Madrid, Valencia, and other depots. 
Previous to the crossing of the Duero, the 
Emperor had come to the resolution to anni-< 
hilate the armie$ of the centre and the left, 
and then to serve in the same manner that of 
the right, commanded by General Castanos, 
When this plan shall have been executed, 
the march to Madrid will be only a walk. 
This grand design must by this time be ace 
complished. 
The corps of Catalonia being partly com= 
posed of the troops of Valencia, Murcia, and 
Granada, these provinces, threatened rhems 
selves, will withdraw their troops, that is, if 
the state of the communications will permit.-~ 
At all events, the 7th corps, after finishing 
the siege of Rosas, will give a good account 
of them. 
As for Barcelona, general Duhesme, with 
15,000 men, provided with six months sup- 
plies, answers for the safety of that important 
fortress. 
We have not said any thing of the English 
forces. It appears there is one division of 
them in Gallicia, and that another shewed 
itself in Bajadoz about the end of last 
month. IftheEnglish have any cavalry, we 
must have got sight of them, for our light 
troops have almost reached the frontiers of 
Portugal. If they have infantry, they pro- 
bably have no intention of employing 
them in favour of their allies; for it is al- 
ready thirty days fince the opening of the cam= 
paign ; three powerful armies have been de- 
stroyed 5 an immense qu’ntity of artillery has 
heen taken; the provinces of Castile, Mon- 
tana, Arragon, and Soria, have been conquer= 
ed ; in short, the fate of Spain and Portugal is , 
decided, and we hear nothing of any movee 
ment on the part of the English troops. 
Inthe mean time half the French army has 
not yetarrived. A part of the 4th corpsof the 
army, the whole of the 5th 2nd 8th corps, six 
regiments of lightcavalry, many companies of 
artillery
