The advanced guard arrived two days ago at Burgos. We have been every where received with the most marked distinction. The troops are placed in good quarters, the magazines are well supplied for two months and the provisions are of the best quality. We attend mass on Sunday with the regimental military music, a measure which has acquired for us the affections of the people, and dissipated all the prejudices entertained against us.
To morrow the king of Tuscany is to pass through this place, and I shall receive him with military honors.
The Spanish army is stated to be on the frontiers of Portugal. In an action between the advanced posts, the Portuguese lost several hundred prisoners.
