Lard WELUNGTON, dated 1-fead-i4tprters, Freineda, 23d October, addressed to his ExCellency Don M. P. FonJas: " The design of D. Nit) Sanchez to take the cattle, great as well as small, which belonged to the 'fortress of Ciudad Rodrigo, of which I made mention in my anterior dispatch, was extremely well conduct ed, and the consequences, which are very advanta geous, equal to the good dispositions. During the night of the 14th, he posted his troops in two places, to which he was informed that the cattle belonging to the garrison were usually sent to feed *the morn ing, and waited till they should come to the field from the left side of the Agueda, between the heights from the road of Elbdon and the fortress, posting two de tachments '1 of cavalry behind these heights.. The GO ' vernor-General Runaud, who went out froni the for tress, and passed the Agueda, accompanied by some Officers of the Staff, and a party of 20 horse, as soon as he entered between the said heights. was sur rounded by D. Julio's detachments, and made pri- ! soner, with 12 of his escort, under the fire of the placei—The remainder of the escort escaped, iro Offi. cers who accompanied the Governor being wounded. a Shortly after, the detachments which Don Julio had on the right bank of the Agueda, seized upon the greater part of the cattle which had left the place to ' graze within reach of the artillery from that side of . the, River. • ' di The enemy's troops, who are in front of this army, have made no movement of importance since X•transmitted your Excellency my last dispatch. A detachment of the army of the north, which crossed the Torrnes with an intention of plundering the cowl. try between that river and the Yates, has returned to its cantonments, without deriving great advantages from the expedition. Intelligence of the 15th inst. which I have re naives' from Cadiz, informs me that Marshal Soul:, with 20,000-men, has entered the kingdom of Valen cia, by Tortoci, and advanced as far as Murviedro. . 4 4 On the 29th ult. the enemy three times attacked tffx fort of Sagunto (near the last mentioned city), endeavouring to take it by assault, hut were repulsed. with great loss on their part, and obliged to leave their scaling ladders' behind. On the 4th-inst. they still remained bsfore Murviedro. ." At the time this was taking place, Gen. Blake. -entered Valencia, when all the strong places being occupied by the enemy, he used the utmost endea- Vours to collect in that kingdom a large force, with .Is view of incommoding his communication with hi-, 'tear. According to advices, the greatest confidence Was placed in General Blake, and the inhabitants of Valencia appear determined to co-operate in the re *stv.nce,.against the , enemy. 14 eines I transmitted your Excellency my antece- Arent dispatch, there has been no movement in the ' North.

He distiaguished him self greatly in Egypt and in several other quartera4l and, except General GRAHAII and Lord WELLING TON, is more looked up to than any other officer now in service. But for illness, he would have comman ded at the memorable battle of Albuera. On the present occasion, the French were completely taken by surprise. General HILL sent his light troops, dis encumbered of baggage, and so rapid were their movements, that when a British force appeared hs the rear of the French, they considered it impossible that it could be heavy. So trifling was our loss (not amounting to more than 45 killed and wounded), !hat General Hu.t. did not judge it necessary to de. tail them. We hear that the Spanish troops under Casrallos, who had long suffered from hunger and 'Other privations, behaved extremely will in this ac tion. So keen were the guerillas and the country in geeeral in chace of Gen. GIRARD and the track of his *tiny, that it was thought few of them could escape.
