CADIZ, APRIL 3. 1 In the brilliant action of the.sth of March, in the fields of Chiclana, in which the allied army acquired so much honour, there was united to the British divi sion a Portuguese detachment of 332 men, cralsisling of two companies of grenadiers and lightinfantry of the 20th regiment, and commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel Bushe. This detachment, in consequence of its• position, was the first that came in contact with the enemy, who were advancing in great force, with a view to attack the whole division in the rear. These' two Portuguese companies united, and then with one ! company of British light infantry, boldly opposed the advance of the enemy, and received him with u j very brisk and well.supportedlire for more than half , an hour, which was rendered necessary from the other corps of the division having to clear the pine-woodi which they had entered, and form themselves in line. The same detachment, notwithstanding it was de prived of the presence of its brave Commander, who had been severely wounded, took part in an attack with the bayonet, which at last decided the defeat of the French. The loss of this detachment, when compared with hs numbers, is sufficient to prove the valour with which it fought ; it amounted to 62 killed and woun- I ded.—Lieutenant-Colonel Bushe, the Captain of gre nadiers Berreiros, the Lieutenants Don Esteban Car vajal, and .Pantaleon de Olivoira, and the Ensign Fe- Es, are amongst the number of the latter. Although Of the Officers of this corps did their duty,among the officers who distinguished themselves most (insides Captain and Adjutant de Juan Crisos-; tinno Callado, and the English Captain Bunbury, who served in the same corps), Don L. D. Pereirn, Forjaz, Captain of the 2d company of fusileers, de serves particular mention, who killed with his ()self hand all officer and two soldiers of the enemy, ands made prisoners 2 officers and 3 soldiers. All rant warriors deserved the praises bestowed upon them by I Lieutenant-General Don Thomas Graham in his ' neral orders of the 6th of March, where ht says— " that they proved themselves the worthy brothers in arms of the conquerors of Busaco." • APRIL is now ascertained why General Z eyes returned here without having ful6iled the ob ject of his expedition. Upon landing his troops at Moguer, he sent a message to Ballasteros, requiring him to join with his division, and receive his instruc tions as to the future operations of the army. Ballas teros refused to obey any orders which he should give him ; upon which Zayas accused him of disaffection ' towards the Regency, and high words passed between them. It is to be regretted that any difference res pecting command should have occurred upon that occasion, as in all probability, both corps being uni ' ted, something brilliant would have been achieved.— To avoid a similar occurrence, General Blake, our Regent, has taken upon himself the command of an expedition about to sail ; the troops will embark to . morrow, and are to proceed for their destination on the 15th. They amount to 14,000 men, English and Spaniards. This moment accounts have arrived, that the brave Baltsteros, who is always upon the alert, has gained an important..victory over a: caps of the enemy sta timed at Preginat de'lit'Seetra, end that their loss is competed e&9BoOnsea.
