By this return, which is not extracted from the imperial rolls, but was found amongst Colonel Lejeune’s intercepted papers, it appears that Victor had above nine thousand disposable troops seventeen days after the battle of Barosa. He must, therefore, have had about eleven thousand disposable before that action, and Cassagne’s detachment being deducted leaves about nine thousand for the battle of Barosa.
