SPANISH PAPERS. • FROM Tilt GOVERNMENT GAZETTE OF SEVILLE, OF AUGUST 3. The following two dispatches relative toothe Battle of Talavera have been received from Gen. Cuesta : Most Excellent Sir—l communicated to you on the night before last, in my advices from the left bank of the Alberche, my suspicions that' I thould be at tacked by the forces which the enemy had collected at Toledo, if I continued separated from the English. This conjecture induced me to repass that river yester day morning,and take the position thathad been agreed upon with General Wellesley, the two armies forming a line before Talavera, availing ourselves of the vallks and the other advantages of the ground. Scarcely had we finished forming our line in the said position, when the enemy yesterday, about five in the evening, presented himself in all his force, amounting, as we conjectured, to from 35 or 40,000 men, including 5000 cavalry, and attacked with the utmost fury our whole line, directing their principal efforts against the left, where the English were posted, with the in tention of turning their left flank. The attack and defence were equally obstinate, till recourse was had to the bayonet—but at length the enemy were twice repulsed, with great loss in killed and wounded—the action lasting till half past eight at night. The Eng lish likewise suffered great loss, especially in officers. Ours has not been considerable. Our troops in ge neral behaved with bravery and firmness, except three or four corps, which manifested some feebleness, of which I shall speak when more at leisure. Very early this morning the enemy renewed his at tacks, which have continued till the present time, that is seven in the evening; but they have been repulsed in all, as I hope they will be in any others they may make. Joseph Napoleon was present in person till this evening, but we now know that he has retreated with his guards, and repassed the Alberche with 98 cars of wounded. " I have not time to enter into further particulars, as I have passed three days on the field of battle, with all my troops under arms. " God preserve your Excellency many years, GREGORIO DR LA CUESTA." " Head-quarters, Talavera, July 28, 1809." SECOND DISPATCH. " Most Excellent Sir— At seven yesterday evening I communicated to you information of the repeated attacks of the enemy, and our resolute defence.— When night, came on hostilities began to relax, but without the enemy ab a ndoni ng hi s p os i t i on . A:little before day-break the enemy began to retreat, and has repassed the Alberche in the direction towards Cazilegas and Santa Olalla, despairing of being able to dislodge us, or even to move us in our position.— They have left the field of battle strewed with car cases, and wounded, who had neither time nor power to retire. They have suffered a dreadful loss, which would have been greater it our troops had not been prevented from pursuing them by fatigue and want of provisi.ffins, " The English have likewise suffered much in the loss of three Generals, several subaltern officers, and a number of men, but they cannot be denied the glory of having fought with much valour and discipline, and forced the French to acknowledge that they never yield in any enterprise, especially if commanded and conducted by their intelligent, active, and brave lea der, Sir Arthur Wellesley. " The Spanish troops, and especially those which had the greatest share in the action, left me nothing to wish for with respect to their courage and gallan try. The fierce and well supported fire of our infantry repulsed the repeated attacks cf the enemy ; and the charges of our cavalry caused them much loss.— The Xing's regiment has, in particular, covered itself with glory ; and in conjunction with the. English took several pieces of cannon, and made prisoners a Gene ral, a Colonel, and several Officers—and I request that its Colonel, Brigadier Don Joseph Maria de Las trel, may be promoted to the rankof Lientenant Ge neral; for having attacked at the head of his reglinent, giving the best example. " From the accounts of the prisoners, we know that the whole guard of Joseph Napoleon was present in the attack of yesterday morning, and that it was upon that that Joseph placed his principal reli2nc.e ; but when he saw it repulsed and routed, he immedi.itely fled to Santa Olalla.• 'We likewise know, that his army, in consternation and confusion, took the road towards Toledo, without provisions or any means of subsistence. a To conclude, the pressure of time only permits me to say, that this has been the most glorious and important action of the whole war, and that which I hope will - open to us the road to the Ebro, so soon.as we can procure the necessary.snpplies for the troops. " May God preserve yourXxeellency many years. • " ORE091;10 PE LA COILSTA." " Head-quarters. Talavera.. July Y 9, 150 P, ten in the Inorniug." Accounts fr thAsiiinecitaenaslel Coesta, dated the next day, IIMI" from the head-quarters at Tala . vera, state, that the enem y, to the number of 10,000 men, were still to be seen on the heights on the other side of the river Alberche. Our vanguard occupied the head of the bridge. The Spanish main army in front of Talavera, and the British forces in line on_ our left, a little in the rear. It is likewise said, that by the confession of the French themselves, and by accounts worthy of credit, their loss exceeded between nine and ten thousand men, and among the wounded is Marshal Victor, severely so. A General of Divi sion'is killed. O'Farrill, Negrete, and Casa Palacio were present in the battle. Part of the army was em ployed in burying the dead. General Vettegas, from Ocana, under the same date, writes, that having dispatched Colonel Von Felipe La Corte with 250 horse, to attack a post held by '2OO horse and 300 infantry, he executed his com mission with so much gallantry, that he dislodged them from the heights 4Cuesta de la Reyna, killing 90 men, and making 28 prisoners. corsDovA, AUGUST S. The approach of our ar:nies tt wards Madrid has excited in that capitil a general commotion. Many left it on the 25th July by the road of Abcoream, with supplies of provisions, and whatever they could collect, in order to receive their deliverers. In Ma drid, the hitels, coffee-hoitses, and all the houses of that description, were, and are open, night and day. The populace, with flags, proclaimed in the streets Ferdinand VII. ; and the French, shut up in El Re tiro, posted placards, in which they stated, that the enemy approaching, whoever wished to secure their persons, and take antis, should rendezvous for their defence at the said Retiro • The Governor, BeMarch went out on horseback es corted by 60.cavalry,towards the Toledo gate, telling the people to tranquilize themselves, that the enemy had not appeared. On the '27th he gave orders to place double guards at the entrance of all the principal streets of the capi. tal ; on that and the following day, the exultation in Madrid attained such a height, that they insulted the French in the streets with shouts of " Long live Fer dinand the Seventh," throwing their hats up into the air, and the whole night there were dances among the common people. Cannon have been placed in the Square del Palacio, in the great Square, and in that del Angel ; on the above mentioned days, neither letters of safety were issued, nor were passports re quired. Latterly, it is said the gates of Madrid have been shut. The division of the Marquis de Zarain arrived on the 28th at Yepes ; that of Gicon and Vegedet are in Aranjuez ; that of Caslejon at•Ocana ; the skirmish ing parties extend to Valdemoro. The people go out in bodies to the roads, welcoming the troops as their deliverers. It is a most affecting scene, to behold persons of every class offering jars of water, bread. wine, and cheese to the soldiers. • BADAJOZ, AUGUST a. A general ringing of bells and a discharge of ar tillery, which has been reoeated with three successive nights illumination, announced on the morning of the 2d, by order of the Supreme Junta, the victory ob tained in the fields of Talavera by the combined ar my, over the oppressors of the country, and, at the same time, a solemn Ti Demo was daunted in the cathedral, at which the Junta and other Authorities and Chiefs attended. The joy bein4 universal, the congratulations incessant, and the object of frequent public praise, the magnanimous efforts with which our faithful friends, heroes in generosity, and in con, currence to the defence of our cause, have shed their blood, and required new claims to our gratitude =4l admiration of . the people. The Chief who, in the plains of Medellin rendered famons to the enemy the bravery of the Spatfth soldier, although he could not present 113 with a victory, was equally admired on seeing fulfilled the general expectation that be would one day console the country for its sufferings, by lead ing its sons to a complete and signal vengeance. ' • celebration of the triumph which justice obtains over destructiie oppression; is a spectacle' of the greatest interest, in which patriotism -excites 'tell to the highest enterprises—all the virtues applaud it, and humanity celebrates the day as its own. Others equally glorious will doubtless shine forth and hasten the epoch in which the triumphant nation may pro ceed securely in the path of independence and happi— ness, formed by itself at the eipence of continued - atilt h:foic sacrifices. CADIZ, AUGUST I. We have the greatest satisfaction in informio; the public that Gerona still defends itsgkrith obittnacy and enthusiasm, being the sepulalnk of the Freuch who have the temerity to attack it. On the 13th and 14th it . covered itself with glory, repulsing the best troops of the enemy 'in every as. sauh—leaving the ground eovereisfith dead bodies. TAkgAGONA, JULY tor. • .
