Downing-Street, July 3, 1813.

DISPATCHES, of which the following are copies, have been this day received by Earl Bathurst, from the Marquis of Wellington, dated Salvatierra, June 22, 1813, and Irunzun, June 24, 1813.

My Lord,The enemy's army, commanded by Joseph Buonaparte, having Marshal Jourdan as the Major-General of the army, took up a position, on the night of the 19th instant, in front of Vittoria, the left of which rested upon the heights which end at Puebla de Arlanzon, and extended from thence across the valley of Zadora, in front of the village of Arunnez. They occupied with the right of the centre a height which commanded the valley of Zadora, and the right of their army was stationed near Vittoria, and was destined to defend the passages of the river Zadora, in the neighbourhood of that city. They had a reserve, in rear of their left, at the village of Gomecha.

The nature of the country through which the army had passed since it had reached the Ebro, had necessarily extended our columns, and we halted on the 20th, in order to close them up, and moved the left to Margina, where it was most likely it would be necessary: I reconnoitred the enemy's position on that day, with a view to the attack to be made on the following morning, if they should still remain in it.

We accordingly attacked the enemy yesterday, and I am happy to inform your Lordship, that the Allied Army, under my command, gained a complete victory; having driven them from all their positions, taken from them 151 pieces of cannon, 415 waggons of ammunition, all their baggage, provisions, cattle, treasure, &c. and a considerable number of prisoners.

The operations of the day commenced by Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hi!l obtaining possession of the heights of La Puebla, on which the enemy's left rested, which heights they had not occupied in great strength.

He detached on this service one brigade of the Spanish division under General Murillo; the other brigade being employed in keeping the communication between his main body, on the high road from Miranda to Vittoria, and the troops detached to the heights. The enenly, however, soon discovered the importance of the heights, and reinforced their troops there to such an extent, as that Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill was obliged to detach, first, the 71st regiment, and the light infantry battalion of Major-General Walker's brigade, under the command of the Hon. Lieut.-Col. Cadogan, and successively other troops to the same point; and the Allies not only gained, but maintained possession of these important heights throughout their operations, notwithstanding all the efforts of the enemy to retake them. The contest here, however, was very severe, and the loss sustained considerable. General Murillo was wounded, but remained in the field; and I am concerned to have to report, that the Hon. Lieut.-Col. Cadogan has died of a wound which he received. In him His Majesty has lost an officer of great zeal and tried gallantry, who had already acquired the respect and regard of the whole profession, and of whom it might be expected, that if he had lived he would have rendered the most important services to his country.

Under cover of the possession of these heights, Sir Rowland Hill successively passed the Zadora, at La Puebla, and the defile formed by the heights and the river Zadora, and attacked and gained possession of the village of Sabijana de Alava, in front of the enemy's line, which the enemy made repeated attempts to regain.

The difficult nature of the country prevented the communication between our different columns moving to the attack from their stations on the river Bayas at as early an hour as I had expected, and it was late before I knew that the column composed of the 3d and 7th divisions, under the command of the Earl of Dalhousie, had arrived at the station appointed for them.

The fourth and light divisions, however, passed the Zadora immediately after Sir Rowland Hill had possession of Sabijana de Alava, the former at the bridge of Nanclaus, and the latter at the bridge of Tres Puentes, and almost as soon as these had crossed, the column under the Earl of Dalhousie arrived at Mendonza, and the 3d division, under Lieut.-Gen. Sir Thomas Picton, crossed at the bridge higher up, followed by the 7th division, under the Earl of Dalhousie.

These four divisions, forming the centre of the army, were destined to attack the heights on which the right of the enemy's centre was placed, while Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill should move forward from Sabijana de Alava to attack the left. The enemy, however, having weakened his line, to strengthen his detachment in the hills, abandoned his position in the valley as soon as he saw our disposition to attack it, and commenced his retreat in good order, towards Vittoria. Our troops continue to advance in admirable order, notwithstanding the difficulty of the ground.

In the mean time, Lieut.-Gen. Sir Thomas Graham, who commanded the left of the army, consisting of the 1st and 5th divisions, and Generals Pack's and Bradford's brigades of infantry, and Generals Bock's and Anson's brigades of cavalry, and who had been moved on the 20th to Margina, moved forward from thence on Vittoria, by the high road from that town to Bilboa. He had besides with him the Spanish division under Col. Longa, and Gen. Giron, who had been detached to the left under a different view of the state of affairs, and had afterwards been recalled, and had arrived on the 20th at Orduna, marched that morning from thence, so as to be in the field in readiness to support Lieut.-Gen. Sir T. Graham, if his support had been required.

The enemy had a division of infantry and some cavalry advanced on the great road from Vittoria to Bilboa, resting their right on some strong heights covering the village of Gamarra Maior. Both Gamarra and Abechuco were strongly occupied, as têtes-de-pont to the bridges over the Zadora at these places. BrigadierGen. Pack, with his Portuguese brigade, and Col. Longa, with the Spanish division, were directed to turn and gain the heights, supported by Major-Gen. Anson's brigade of light dragoons, and the 5th division of infantry, under the command of Major-Gen. Oswald, who was desired to take the command of all these troops.

Lieut.-Gen. Sir T. Graham reports, that in the execution of this service, the Portuguese and Spanish troops behaved admirably. The 4th and 8th Cacadores particularly distinguished themselves. Col. Longa being on the left, took possession of Gamarra Menor.

As soon as the heights were in our possession, the village of Gamarra Maior was most gallantly stormed and carried by Brigadier-Gen. Robinson's brigade of the 5th division, which advanced in columns of battalions, under a very heavy fire of artillery and musquetry, without firing a shot, assisted by two guns of Major Lawson's brigade of artillery. The enemy suffered severely, and lost three pieces of cannon.

The Lieutenant-General then proceeded to attack the village of Abechuco, with the 1st division, by forming a strong battery against it, consisting of Captain Dubourdieu's brigade, and Captain Ramsay's troop of horse artillery, and, under cover of this fire, Col. Halkett's brigade advanced to the attack of the village, which was carried, the light battalion having charged and taken three guns and a howitzer on the bridge this attack was supported by General Bradford's brigade of Portuguese infantry.

During the operation at Abechuco, the enemy made the greatest efforts to repossess themselves of the village Gamarro Maior, which were gallantly repulsed by the troops of the 5th division, under the command of Major-General Oswald. The enemy had, however, on the heights on the left of the Zadora, two divisions of infantry in reserve; and it was impossible to cross by the bridges till the troops which had moved upon the enemy's centre and left had driven them through Vittoria.

The whole then co-operated in the pursuit, which was continued by all till after it was dark.

The movement of the troops under Lieut.-Gen. Sir Thomas Graham, and their possession of Gamarra and Abechuco, intercepted the enemy's retreat by the high road to France. They were then obliged to turn to the road towards Pampeluna ; but they were unable to hold any position for a sufficient length of time to allow their baggage and artillery to be drawn off. The whole, therefore, of the latter which had not already been taken by the troops, in their attack of the successive positions, taken up by the enemy in their retreat from their first position on

Aruney, and on the Zadora, and all their ammunition and baggage, and every thing they had were taken, close to Vittoria. I have reason to believe that the enemy carried off with them one gun and one howitzer, only.

The army under Joseph Buonaparte cousisted of the whole of the armies of the South and of the center, and of four divisions, and all the cavalry of the army of Portugal, and some troops of the army of the North. General Foix's division of the army of Portugal was in the neighbourhood of Bilboa, and Gen. Clausel, who commands the army of the North, was near Logrono with one division of the army of Portugal, commanded by Gen. Topin, and Gon. Vandermasen's division of the army of the North.

The 6th division of the Allied Army, under Major-Gen. the Hon. Edward Pakenham, was likewise absent, having been detained at Medina del Pomar for three days, to cover the march of our magazines and stores.

I cannot extol too highly the good conduct of all the general officers, officers, and soldiers of the army in this action. Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill speaks highly of the conduct of Gen. Murillo, and the Spanish troops under his command, and of that of Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. W. Stewart, and the Conde d'Amarante, who commanded divisions of infantry under his directions. He likewise mentions the conduct of the Hon. Lieut.-Col. O'Callagan, who maintained the village of Sabijana de Alava against all the efforts of the enemy to regain possession of it, and that of Lieut.-Col. Rooke, of the Adjutant-General's department, and Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Alexander Abercromby, of the Quarter-Master-General's department.

It was impossible for the movements of any troops to be conducted with more spirit and regularity than those of these respective divisions of Lieutenant-General the Earl of Dalhousie, Sir Thomas Picton, Sir Lowry Cole, and Major-Gen. Charles Baron Alten. These troops marched in echelons of regiments, in two, and occasionally three lines; and the Portuguese troops, in the 3d and 4th divisions, under the command of Brigadier-Gen. Power and Col. Stubbs, led the march with a steadiness and gallantry never surpassed on any occasion.

Major-General the Hon. C. Colville's brigade of the 3d division was seriously attacked, in its advance, by a very superior force, well formed, which it drove in, supported by Gen. Inglis's brigade of the 7th division, commanded by Col. Grant, of the 82d. These officers, and the troops under their command, distinguished themselves.

Major-Gen. Vandeleur's brigade of the light division was, during the advance upon Vittoria, detached to the support of the 7th division, and Lieut.-Gen, the Earl of Dalhousie has reported most favourably of its conduct.

Lieutenant-Gen. Sir Thomas Graham particularly reports his sense of the assistance he received from Col. Delancy, Deputy Quarter-Master-General, and from Lieut.-Col. Bouverie, of the Adjutant-General's Department, and from the officers of his personal staff, and from the Hon. Lieut.-Col. Upton, Assistant Quarter-Master-General, and Major Hope, Assistant-Adjutant, with the 1st division: and Major-Gen. Oswald reports the same of Lieut.-Col. Berkeley, of the Adjutant-General's Department, and Lieut.-Col. Gonm, of the Quarter-Master-General's Department.

I am particularly indebted to Lieut.-Gen. Sir Thomas Graham, and Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill, for the manner in which they have respectively conducted the service entrusted to them since the commencement of the operations, which have ended in the battle of the 21st, and for their conduct in that battle; as likewise to Marshal Sir William Beresford, for the friendly advice and assistance which I have received from him upon all occasions during the late operations.

I must not omit to mention, likewise, the conduct of Gen. Giron, who commands the Galician army, who made a forced march from Orduna, and was actually on the ground in readiness to support Lieut.-Gen. Sir Thomas Graham.

I have frequently been indebted, and have had occasion to call the attention of your Lordship to the conduct of the Quarter-Master-General Major-Gen. George Murray, who, in the late operations, and in the battle of the 21st instant, has again given me the greatest assistance. I am likewise indebted much to Lord Aylmer, the Deputy-Adjutant-General, and to the Officers of the Adjutant and QuarterMaster-General's Departments respectively, and to Lieut.-Col. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Lieut.-Col. Campbell, and the Officers of my personal Staff, and to Lieut.-Col. Sir Richard Fletcher, and the Officers of the Royal Engineers.

Colonel His Serene Highness the Hereditary Prince of Orange was in the field as my Aide-de-camp, and conducted himself with his usual gallantry and intelligence.

Mareschal del Campo Don Luis Wimpfen, and the Inspector-General Don Thomas O'Donoju, and the officers of the Staff of the Spanish army, bave invariably rendered me every assistance in their power in the course of these operations; and I avail myself of this opportunity of expressing my satisfaction at their conduct, as likewise with that of Mareschal del Campo Don Miquel de Alava, and of Brigadier-General Don Joseph O'Lawlor, who have been so long and so usefully employed with me.

The artillery was most judiciously placed by Lieut.-Col. Dickson, and was well served, and the army is particularly indebted to that corps.

The nature of the ground did not allow of the cavalry being generally engaged, but the General Officers, commanding the several brigades, kept the troops under their command respectively close to the infantry to support them, and they were most active in the pursuit of the enemy, after they had been driven through Vittoria.

I send this dispatch by my Aide-de-Camp Captain Fremantle, whom I beg leave to recommend to your Lordship's protection: he will have the honour of laying at the feet of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, the colours of the 4th battalion of the 100th regiment, and Marshal Jourdan's Bâton of a Marshal of France, taken by the 87th regiment. I have the honour to be, &c.

I enclose a return of the killed and wounded in the late operation, and a return of the ordnance and ammunition captured in the action of the 21st. inst.
