Our advices via Boston are to the 19th, to which date papers were received, extracts made are copied into this day's paper.
If the positions of Ney and Soult are correctly stated, they can have no inclination to molest the retreat of the British army if it were inclined to retreat to Lisbon, or Cadiz.
The accounts do not hint at the retreat of the English army.
On the contrary it must have been joined by general Cuesta Crawford's command of about 5000, and a regiment which arrived at Cadiz from Madeira.
