Fearing such a catastrophe, Murst had dispatched General Dupont from Madrid with fourteen thousand men to secure the city and fleet. He was met by the Spanish General Castanos, at the head of 30,000 men, and surrounded at the same time by a furious population. Unable to advance or retire, he was compell various transactions had wrought upon the populace of Madrid, withdrew his army to the Retiro, an eminence commanding the city. Joseph Bonaparte, under the protection of 10,000 men, entered his new capital on the 27th of July, the very day that Dupont's army surrendered.

I directed the commandant of the Navy-Yard at Philadelphia to purchase or charter and arm an equal number for the same purpose. I directed the commandant at New York to purchase or charter and arm an equal number. I directed commander Gillies to purchase or charter and arm and put to sea two other vessels. Similar directions were given to Commodore Dupont, with a view to the opening of passages by water to and from the capital.

She was feeling her way, apparently unmindful of the shot from our heaviest guns. Of course the intelligence was not long in reaching Hilton Head. From that moment such preparations as we have been able to make for a proper reception have been in progress. The heaviest of our transport steamers have been placed under the orders of Admiral Dupont. Gunboats have been stationed at each approach, and new signal lines have placed them in instant communication with headquarters.

Meanwhile the rebels are concentrating at Bluffton, at Hardeesville, and at Grahamsville.
