SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE
Of SATURDAY the 3d of July.

Downing-Street, July 4, 1813.

DISPATCHES, of which the following are copies and extracts, have been received at Earl Bathurst's Office, in the course of this day and yesterday, addressed to his Lordship by Field-Marshal the Marquis of Wellington.

Aimpudia, June 6, 1813.-MY LORD, The troops have continued to advance since I wrote to your Lordship on the 31st of last month, and were on the 1st at Zamora, and on the 2d at Toro. The English hussars, being in the advancedguard, fell in, between Toro and Morales, with a considerable body of the enemy's cavalry, which were immediately attacked by the 10th, supported by the 18th and 15th. The enemy were overthrown, and pursued for many miles, and two hundred and ten prisoners, with many horses, and two officers, fell into our hands. I enclose Colonel Grant's report of this gallant affair, which reflects great credit upon Major Robarts and the 10th hussars, and upon Colonel Grant, under whose direction they acted.

On the same evening Don Julian Sanches surprised the enemy's post at Castronuno, and took two officers and thirty cavalry prisoners, and he drove their posts from the ford at Pollos.

The enemy had destroyed the bridges of Zamora and Toro, and the difficulties in the passage of the Esla had retarded the movement of our rear, while the enemy bad concentrated their force to a considerable amount between Torrelobaton and Tordesillas. I therefore halted on the 3d at Toro, in order to bring the light division, and the troops under the command of Lientenant-General Sir Rowland Hill, across the Douro, by the bridge of the town, and to close up the rear, and bring the Gallician army to join our left. We moved again on the 4th.

The enemy had commenced collecting their troops towards the Douro, when they found that we passed Ciudad Rodrigo, and they crossed the Douro at Tordesillas on the 1st and 2d. The troops at Madrid and the detachments on the Tagus broke up on the 27th, and crossed the Douro at the Ponte de Douro on the 3d, and Valladolid was entirely evacuated on the 4th.

The enemy left considerable magazines of grain at Arevalo, and some ammunition at Valladolid and Zamora.

The enemy have passed the Carrion, and are apparently on their retreat towards Burgos.

I have received no accounts from Alicante since I addressed your Lordship last. WELLINGTON.

(Enclosure in the preceding Dispatch.)

Morales, June 2, 1813.-MY LORD, I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that on approaching Morales this morning with the bussar brigade, the French cavalry appeared in considerable force near that place.

The 10th Royal Hussars were immediately brought forward, under the orders of Major Robarts, who attacked the advanced squadrons of the enemy in the most gallant manner: their front line made a determined resistance, but 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 officer, Lieutenant Cotton, of the 10th hussars, who was killed in the midst of the enemy's ranks. I am sorry to add, that Captain Lloyd, of the same regiment, is missing.

(Signed)

I have the honour to enclose the return of the killed and wounded, and also a return of the loss sustained by the enemy, as far as it can be ascertained. The Marquis of Wellington. C. GRANT. P.S. Since writing the above, I have learnt that Captain 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 the Action with the Enemy's Rear Guard, near Morales, on June 2, 1813.

10th Royal Hussars-1 lieutenant, 1 rank and file, 4 horses, killed; 10 rank and file, 9 horses, wounded; 1 captain, 1 serjeant, 1 rank and file, 10 horses, missing. 15th Hussars-1 colonel, wounded.

18th Hussars-1 serjeant, 3 rank and file, 3 horses, wounded; 1 rank and file, 1 horse, missing.

Total- lieutenant, 1 rank and file, 4 horses, killed; 1 colonel, 1 serjeant, 13 rank and file, 12 horses, wounded; 1 captain, 1 serjeant, 2 rank and file, 11 horses, missing.

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-General 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 bussars, and Brigadier-General 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 second division moved up the heights from Hormaza; and the remainder of the troops, under the command of Lieut.General Sir Rowland Hill, threatened the heights of Estepar. These movements dislodged the enemy from their position immediately. The cavalry of our left and centre were entirely in the rear of the enemy, who were obliged to retire across the Arlanzon, by the high road towards Burgos. Although pressed by our cavalry, and suffering considerable loss by the fire of Major Gardiner's troop of borse artillery, and obliged to make their movements at an accelerated pace, that they might not give time to our infantry to come up, they made it in admirable order; but they lost one gun, and some prisoners taken by a squadron of the 14th light dragoous, commanded by Captain Milles, and a detachment of the 3d dragoons, which charged their rear.

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, as 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 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 Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Graham, will, I hope, pass the Ebro to-morrow.

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 bad taken the positions before occupied by the second army, and the Anglo Sicilian corps, under Sir John Murray; and that General 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 Earl Bathurst, &c. &c.

WELLINGTON.

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 Rocamunde, and the remainder on the 15th, by those bridges and that of Puente Arenos. 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 Puente Carra, composed of some of the troops which had been for some time in the provinces in pursuit of Longa, of 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 yesterday morning, that from Frias upon St. Millan, where it was found by the light division of the allied army, under Major-General Charles Alten; and that from Espejo on Osma, where it met the 1st and 5th divisions, under Lieut.-Gen. 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 Thomas 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. I 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 Pancorso.

Colonel Longa's division joined the army on the 16th, on its arrival at Medina del Pomar.

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. WELLINGTON,

Extract of a Dispatch from the Marquis of Wellington to Earl Bathurst, dated the 24th June.

I have the honour.to enclose a report which I have received from General Copons, of a very gallant affair in Catalonia, on the 7th of May, by a brigade of Spanish troops, under the command of Colonel Don Manuel Llander; and I have received a report (not official) stating, that, on the 17th May, General Copons had defeated the enemy in the position of Concal, near El Abisbal.

(Translation.)

Most Excellent Sir,-The God of armies favours the operations of that which I have the honour to command.

The 2d brigade of the 2d division, under the command of Colonel Don Manuel Llander, has completely destroyed, on the 7th inst. an enemy's column, composed of 1500 men, commanded by the Marshal who left Puycerda for the purpose of attacking Colonel Llander's flank, while he was engaged in the blockade of Olot: four officers and two hundred and ninety men made prisoners, twelve caissons, and more than five hundred muskets, and the reduction of the enemy's number to some three hundred men, are the results of this fortunate affair.

General Maurice Matieu, with a corps of six thousand infantry, three hundred cavalry, and five pieces of cannon, under Generals Expert and Debans, marched to Tarragona, for the purpose of protecting a convoy.

I followed with the 2d brigade of the 1st division, the 1st of the 2d, the battalion of the General, and thirty cavalry, making a total of three thousand two hundred men. On the return of General Matieu for Barcelona, I endeavoured to draw him to an advantageous position, which I occupied at the village of Abisbal, where I offered him battle on the 17th. At half past seven in the morning the fire began, and soon became general along the whole line: the attack and movement of the enemy to turn my flank were unavailing. At half past twelve he attacked with the greatest spirit, and being repulsed and vigorously pursued, commenced his retreat, in sight of our valiant soldiers.

The field remained covered with dead bodies and arms: the enemy's loss exceeded six hundred men, killed, wounded, and prisoners. One commanding, and five inferior officers, were among the first, and seven were wounded.

The enemy confessed this loss in the village, in which he left a part of his wounded, under charge of a French surgeon.

My loss is not accurately ascertained, but I know that it bears no proportion to that of the enemy. When the different reports are received, I shall forward them to your Excellency; but, in the mean time, I have the honour to give your Excellency this information for your satisfaction.

God preserve your Excellency many years.
