They appointed Wellington generalissimo of all the Spanish armies; and, in a visit which he paid to the Cortes at Christmastide, he prepared for a real co-operation of Spanish forces in the next campaign. At that time Napoleon was uneasily looking into the state of Spanish affairs.
When Christmastide came round again, too, there were no more of the happy days that had occurred on its previous anniversary.
