The troops, which left St. Felice de Pallarols, visited the Shrine de Virgen Sanctissima de Salute. They are dispersed and spread for fast travelling so that the enemy cannot follow them. The entire Catalinian force is not over 3500 while the Republicans number at least 20,000 including garrisons and fortified towns. The fortified towns are: Berga, Vich, Gerona, Fignoras, Barcelona, and Montjurich. They can do nothing until they receive arms, artillery, and ammunition. The prince knew nothing of the articles in the New York Herald. They must have been written in Perpignan since Martin left Catalinia in the end of May. Murray served guard duty and dined with the prince, his wife, and the Marquis de Romana. The Republican troops have not pursued them and they turn in at night as if it were a time of peace. The prince speaks highly of Burns or Byrne. Murray's further acquaintance with Don Alfonso and Donna Maria de las Nieves adds to his opinion of them. They have a high regard for America but are politely skeptical of any help arriving from that quarter. It is lamentable that Americans should think that the Republic of Spain is anything that a republic should be. The Republicans means the suppression of all municipal rights and centralization by means of compulsory military conscription and crushing taxes. At Berga, the enemy lost 500 to 600 men while the Zouaves lost but 60. A few more actions like that will disgust the poor conscripts. Marching to Montesquioro, the column passed through St. Quirico, a village burned by the Republicans. Don Juan, father of the prince, arrived there that day and also Lavalls from France. A column of 4000 Republicans has arrived at Ripols, which is but three hours march distant. The church bells always welcome our troops when we enter a town. At present, they are on the banks of the River Ter, which course they followed from St. Felice de The column has left Montesquioro and arrived in Prats by rapid march. They had been ordered to march again in two hours but received word that the Republicans had already retreated to Vich, and so they remained. In Murray's opinion, they should not move again until they receive some arms, ammunition, and more Zouave uniforms.
