On the third day, he caused a Portuguese brigade to bemarched in, and kept standing to their arms, in the great square, where the provost-martial erected a gallows, and proceeded to suspenda few of the delinquents, which very quickly cleared the town of theremainder, and enabled us to give a more satisfactory account of ourbattalion than we had hitherto been able to do. It is wonderful how such scenes as these will deaden men's finerfeelings, and with what apathy it enables them to look upon th...esufferings of their fellow creatures!

We rode up to see what they wanted, and found that thepoor fellows had each lost a leg. They told us that a surgeon haddressed their wounds on the night of the assault, but that they hadever since been without food or assistance of any kind, although they, each day, had opportunities of soliciting the aid of many of theircomrades, from whom they could obtain nothing but promises.
