HENRY SMITH. _ _ LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. WAR DEPARTMENT. DOWNINPISTRILT, APRIY 24. Captain Canning, Aid-de-Camp to dguiral the Earl of Welling ton, arrived last night at this Office, bringing di:patches, ad dressed by his Lordship to the Earl of Liverpool, of which the following are extracts or copies. Extract of a Dispatch from the earl of Wellington, dated Camp before Badajoz, April 3. We opened our fire on the 31st of March from 26 pieces of cannon, in the second parallel,to breach the face of the bastion at the south east angle of the fort called la Trinidad ; and the flank of the bastion by which the face is defended called Santa Maria. The fire upon these has continued since with great effect. The enemy made a sortie upon the night of the 29th, upon the troops of General Hamilton's divi sion, which invest the place on the right of the Gua diana, but were immediately driven in with loss. We lost no men on this occasion. The movements of Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Graham, and of Lieutenant General Sir Rowland Hill have obliged the enemy to retire by the diffe rent roads towards Cordova, with the exception of a small body of infantry and cavalry, which remained at Zalamca de la Serena, in front of Bel.ticazar. Marshal Soult broke up in front of Cadiz on the 23d and 24th, and has marched upon Seville with all the troops which were there, with the exception of four thousand men. I understand that he was to march from Seville again on the 30th or 31st. I have not heard from Castile since the 30th ultimo. One division of the Army of Portugal, which had been in the province of Avila, had on that day arrived at Guadapero, within two leagues of Ciudad Rodrigo ; and it was supposed that Marshal Marmont was on his march with other troops from the side of Sala manca. The River Agueda was not fordable for troops 014 the 30th. Copy of a Dispatch front the Earl of WELLINGTON, dated Camp before Badajoz, April 7. Mr Lotto—My dispatch of the 3d inst. will have apprised your Lordship of the state of the operations against Badajoz to that date, which were brought to a close on the night of the Gth, by the capture of the place by storm. The fire continued during the 4th and sth against the face of the bastion of La Trinidad, and the flank of the bastion of Santa Maria ; and on the 4th, in the morning, we opened another battery of 6 guns, in the second parallel, against the shoulder of the ravelin of St. Roque, and the wall in its gorge. Practicable breaches were effected in the bastions above-mentioned, in the evening of the sth ; but as I had observed that the enemy had entrenched the bastion of La Trinidad, and the most formidable preparations were making for the defence as well of the breach in that bastion, as of that in the bastion of Santa Maria, I determined to delay the attack for another day, and to turn all the guns in the batteries in the second parallel on the curtain of La Trinidad, in hopes that by effecting a third breach, the troops would be enabled to turn the enemy's works for the defence of the other two, the attach of which would besides be connected by the troops de3ticed to attack the breach in the curtain. This breach was effected in the evening of the 6th, and the fire of the face of the bastion of Santa I Maria, and of the dank of the bastion of La Trini• ; dad, being overcome, I determined to attack the place that night. I had kept in reserve, in the neighbourhood of this camp, the sth division, under Lieut.-Gen. Leith, Which had left Castile only in the middle of March, ; and had but lately arrived in this part of the country, ! and 1 brought them up on that evening. The plan for the attack was, that Lieut.-General Picton should attack the castle of Badajoz by esca lade with the 3d division ; and ade tachment from the guard in the trenches, furnished that evenitip by ter 4th divisiog o liader Major Wilson, of the ft4th SATURDAY, APRIL 25, Isl 2. • .
