R, Occurrences Foreign and Domestick. From W@ebnelbap Africh 1. to Harurdap, March 4. 168: AMdadrid, Feb. 12. cr [: French seem to be resolved to Attack Fontarabra, having lately march'd Zcop Men from Bayonne, and there is likewise 6090 Men ordered upon the March from other places, which with what Forces were there before, make up about 2occo.men, but they consistify most of Horfe, some are of opinion they design a further march, grounded upon this Reston, that about Footaradia it is Hilly and Barrer, so that a far less considerable Body of Horfe could not be able to subsist for want of Fo rape, which makes us fear they will make for me Atcempt upon Pompatonia and Nuvar. In the mean time, those of Fontarabia seem to be couragious, and resolve to stand out to the extremity, for they have a strong Force to maintain the place, it being but mail, ha ving on the one side the River Bidafec, and behind them a boggy ground, so that they cannot be Attacked but only before they have within the Town 1200 Soldiers, besides the Townsmen, who are Warlike Men, they are also well provided with Cannon and things necessary for a Siege. We are conti nually sending reformed Officers to Com mand the Country Militia in those parts, and a thousand Horse are Ordered to march to their Assistance. We bear that the French General has Ordered a Proclamation to be made, whereby he encourages the Subjects of the King of Spain (except those of Foxra rabia) to continue their Commerce with the French, sim@ly forbidding any of the French to do any Injury to them, London, Afarch 3.
