Major-General Long and Brigadier-General Morillo, in command of the Spanish division, attacked Alba, from which place the enemy retired. In the course of the 27th and 28th, I established the troops which had marched from the Agueda and Upper Estremadura, between the Tormes and Douro, under the command of Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland Hill; and I set off myself to join the troops here, and arrived that day at Miranda de Douro, and here on the 31st. I found the troops on the Esla, under the orders of Sir Thomas Graham, as I had intended, with their left at Tabara, and in communication with the Gallician army, and their right at this place, and all the arrangements made for passing the Esla. The greatest part passed that river this morning, the cavalry by fords, and the infantry by a bridge, which it was necessary to throw over the river, as it was so deep that some men, even of the cavalry, were lost in the passage. The English hussars, who crossed first, took an officer and thirty men prisoners, near Valdeperdices. The enemy have evacuated Zamora, and our patroles have been in that town; the troops which were there have fallen back upon Toro, where I understand they have one division of infantry and a brigade of cavalry. It apears that the enemy have joined at La Nava del Rey, the troops which retired from Salamanca, Avila, &c. with those which were at Arevalo and Medina del Campo; and I imagine that as this part of the army advances, they will retire across the Douro. The enemy's troops were still at Madrid, and on the Tagus on the 22d; but I conclude that they will have evacuated that part of the country, on hearing of our movements. War-Office, June 15, 1813.
