In the Vaughan Papers I find a ‘Journal of the operations of General Blake,’ by some officer of his staff, unnamed. It gives the force of the Galician army at Rio Seco as follows:—
Officers. Sergeants. Drummers, &c. Veteran rank and file. Recruits. Total.
Vanguard: Gen. Count Maceda 75 81 76 1,678 277 = 2,187
1st Division: Gen. Cagigal 186 194 166 4,795 1,315 = 6,470
4th Division: Marquis Portago 188 185 144 3,208 2,281 = 5,818
Head-quarters Guard: Volunteers of Navarre 29 30 43 681 — = 754
478 490 429 10,362 3,873 = 15,229
This total only differs by 26 from that given by Arteche (ii. 654).
