Graham, will, I hope, pass the Ebro to-morrow. moved up In the course of the 9th, 10th, and 11th, Don Julian Sanchez was very active on the left of the enemy, and took several prisoners. I have received a letter from general Elio, in which he informs me that the third Spanish army had joined the second, and these armies had taken the positions before occupied by the 2nd army, and the Anglo Sicilian corps, under sir John Murray; and that gen. sir John Murray had embarked, in obedience to the orders which he had received, with the troops under his command, had sailed from Alicant with a fair wind, and was out of sight on the 1st inst. The enemy took post on the left of the Arlanzon and Urbel rivers, which were much swelled by the rains; and in the course of the night retired their whole army through Burgos, having abandoned and destroyed, so far as they were able, in the short space of time during which they were there, the works of the castle, which they had constructed and improved at so large an expense; and they are now on their retreat towards the Ebro by the high road of Briviesca and Miranda. In the mean time the whole of the army of the allies has made a movement to the left this day; and the Spanish corps of Gallicia, under general Giron, and the left of the British and Por'tuguese army, under lieut.-gen. I have the honour to be, &c. Subijana, on the Bayas, June 19, 1813. My lord; The left of the army crossed the Ebro on the 14th, by the bridges of St. Martin, and Ro camunde, and the remainder on the 15th, by those bridges and that of Puenta Arenas. We continued our march on the following days towards Vittoria. The enemy assembled on the 16th and 17th, a considerable corps at Espejo, not far from the Fuente Carra, composed of some of the troops which had been for some time in the provinces in pursuit_of Longa and Mina, and others detached from the main body of the army, which were still at Pancorbo. They had likewise a division of infantry, and some cavalry at Frias since the 16th, for the purpose of observing our movements on the left of the Ebro. was instantly overpowered by the irresistible impetuosity of the 10th hussars, which being now supported by the 18th, (the 15th being in reserve) reached their second line, and drove it, with loss, to the heights, two miles in front of Morales; a position which the enemy occupied with a large force of cavalry and infantry, and where the remains of their shattered squadrons took shelter under cover of their guns. It is with much satisfaction I acquaint your lordship, that nothing could exceed the steadiness and bravery of the troops in this affair. I have, however, to regret the loss of a very promising young of ficer, lieut. Cotton, of the 10th hussars, who was killed in the midst of the enemy's ranks. I am sorrry to add, that capt. Lloyd, of the same regiment, is missing. I have the honour to enclose the return of the killed and wounded, also a return of the loss sustained by the enemy, as far as it can be ascertained. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) G. GRANT. The Marquess of Wellington. P. S. Since writing the above, I have learnt that capt. Lloyd was wounded and taken prisoner, but has been left at Pedrosa del Rey, having given his parole to the enemy. His wound is severe, but not dangerous. Return of Killed, Wounded, and Missing in Action with the Enemy's rear-guard, near Morales, on the 2nd of June, 1813. Total.-1 lieutenant, 1 rank and file, 4 horses, killed; 1 colonel, 1 serjeant, 13 rank and file, 12 horses, wounded; 1 captain, 1 ser jeant, 2 rank and file, 11 horses, missing. Villadiego, June 13, 1813. My lord;-The army passed the Carrion on the 7th, the enemy having retired across the Pisuerga; and on the 8th, 9th, and 10th, we brought forward our left and passed that river. The cele rity of our march up to this period, induced me to make short movements on the 11th, and to halt the left on the 12th; but on the latter day I moved forward the right, under lieut-general sir Rowland Hill, consisting of the 2d British, brigadier-general Murillo's Spanish, and the conde d'Amarante's Portuguese divisions of infantry, and the light division, under major-general Charles baron Alten, and major-general Victor baron Alten's, major-gen. Fane's, major-general Long's, the hon. brigadier-general Ponsonby's, and colonel Grant's (hussars) brigades of cavalry, towards Burgos, with a view to reconnoitre the enemy's position and numbers near that town, and to force them to a decision whether to abandon the castle to its fate, or to protect it with all their force. I found the enemy posted with a considerable force, commanded as I understand, by general Reille, on the heights on the left of the Hormaza, with their right above the village of Hormaza, and their left in front of Estepar. We turned their right with the hussars, and brig-gen. Ponsonby's brigade of cavalry, and the light division from Isar, while general Victor Alten's brigade of cavalry, and the hon. colonel O'Callaghan's brigade of the 2nd division, moved up Graham, will, I hope, pass the In the course of the 9th, 10th, and 11th, Don Julian Sanchez was very active on the left of the enemy, and took several prisoners. I have received a letter from general Elio, in which he informs me that the third Spanish army had joined the second, and these armies had taken the positions before occupied by the 2nd army, and the Anglo Sicilian corps, under sir John Murray; and that gen. sir John Murray had embarked, in obedience to the orders which he had received, with the troops under his command, had sailed from Alicant with a fair wind, and was out of sight on the 1st inst.

In the mean time the whole of the army of the allies has made a movement to the left this day; and the Spanish corps of Gallicia, under general Giron, and the left of the British and Portuguese army, under lieut.-gen. I have the honour to be, &c. Subijana, on the Bayas, My lord;-The left of the army crossed the Ebro on the 14th, by the bridges of St. Martin, and Rocamunde, and the remainder on the 15th, by those bridges and that of Puenta Arenas. We continued our march on the following days towards Vittoria. The enemy assembled on the 16th and 17th, a considerable corps at Espejo, not far from the Fuente Carra, composed of some of the troops which had been for some time in the provinces in pursuit of Longa and Mina, and others detached from the main body of the army, which were still at Pancorbo. They had likewise a division of infantry, and some cavalry at Frias since the 16th, for the purpose of observing our movements on the left of the Ebro. These detachments marched yes terday morning, that from Frias upon St. Millan, where it was found by the light division of the allied army, under major-gen, Charles Alten, and that from Espejo, on Osma, where it met the 1st and 5th divisions, under lieutenantgeneral sir Thomas Graham. Major-general Charles Alten drove the enemy from St. Millan, and afterwards cut off the rear brigade of the division, of which he took three hundred prisoners, killed and wounded many, and the brigade was dispersed in the mountains. The corps from Espejo was considerably stronger than the allied corps under sir T. Graham, which had arrived nearly at the same time at Osma. The enemy moved on to the attack, but were soon obliged to retire; and they were followed to Espejo, from whence they retired through the hills to this place. It was late in the day before the other troops came up to the advanced position which those under sir Thomas Graham had taken, and I halted the 4th division, which had relieved the 5th near Espejo. The army moved forward this day to this river: found the enemy's rear-guard in a strong position on the left of the river, having his right covered by Subijana, and his left by the heights in front of Pobes. We turned the enemy's left with the light division, while the 4th division, under lieut-general sir Lowry Cole, attacked them in front, and the rear-guard was driven back upon the main body of the army, which was in march from Pancorbo to Vittoria, having broken up from thence last night. I am informed that the enemy have dismantled Pancorbo. Colonel Longa's division joined the army on the 6th, on its arrival at Medina del Poman. The conde del Abisbal will arrive at Burgos on the 24th and 25th. I have not received any intelligence from the eastern coast since I addressed your lordship last. I have the honour to be, &c. London Extraordinary Gazette, WAR DEPARTMENT. Downing Street, July 3. Dispatches, of which the following are copies, have been this day received by earl Bathurst, from the marquis of Wellington, dated Salvatierra, June 22nd,and Irunzon, June 24th, 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 Arunez. 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-reconnoitered 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, having 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.-general sir Rowland Hill 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 enemy, however, soon discovered the importance of the heights, and reinforced the troops there to such an extent, as that lieutenant-general 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.-colonel Cadogan, and successively other troops, to the same point; and the allies not only gained, but main tained 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.-colonel 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 3rd and 7th divisions under the command of the earl of Dalhousie, had arrived at the station appointed for them. The 4th and light divisions, however, passed the Žadora immediately after sir Rowland Hill had possession of Sabijana de Alava, the former at the bridge of Nanciaus, and the latter at the bridge of Tres Puentes; and almost as soon as these had crossed, the co |
