Lechi's and Chabran's two divisions, extremely reduced by war and fatigues, numbered scarcely 8000 infantry, and in- cluding artillery and cavalry hardly amounted to 9500 men. All the efforts made to provision Barcelona by sea had failed, the English occupying the Bay of Roses, the citadel of which was defended by 3000 Spanish regular troops. General Duhesme therefore saw that he was liable to be soon destitute of provisions, either for himself or for the numerous population of that capital. It... was for this reason that Napoleon had so often urged Marshal St. Cyr to hasten his operations, and to march briskly to the relief of Barcelona. For traversing the whole of Catalonia, in insurrection, and occupied by numerous corps of troops. General St. Cyr had, besides General Eeille's division, about 7000 strong, Souham's French division, comprehending 6000, Pinot's Italian division of 5000, Chabot's Neapolitan division of 3000, looo artillery- men, and 2000 horse, forming a total of 23, 000 or 24, 000 com- batants.
