1111 6 FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. VAIr DaVA TITNI ENT. DOWMI4O4ritEET, JANUARY 27. A Dispatch, of which the following is an extract, was this mora ls's eceivcd at Lord Livaitroox's Office, addressed to his Lordship by General Viscount WELLINGTON, dated Gallegos, January 9, IBM _ . I invested Ciudad Rodrigo yesterday. Since the enemy have had possession of the place they have con structed a palisadoed redoubt on the hill of St. Fran cisco, and have fortified three convents in the suburb, the defences of which are connected with the work on the hill of St. Francisco, and with the old line by which the suburb was surrounded. , By these means the enemy have increased the difficulty of approach ing the place ; and it was necessary to obtain posses sion of the work on the hill of St. Francisco before we could make any progress in our attack. Accordingly Major-General Craufurd directed a detachment of the light division, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Colbourne, of the 52d Regi. ment, to attack the work shortly after it was dark. The attack was very ably conducted by Lieut.-Colo nel Colbourn, and the work was taken by storm in a shot t time—two Captains and 47 men were made prisoners, and the remander of the garrison were put to the sword. We took three pieces of cannon. I cannot sufficiently applaud the conduct of Lieutenant Colonel Colbourne, and of the detachment under his command, upon this occasion. I altn happy to add, that our loss in this affair has not been severe, six men having been killed. Captain Mein and Lieutenant Woodgate, cf the 52d, Lieute nant Hawksley, of the9sth, and fourteen men having been wounded. The success of this operation enabled us imme diately to break ground within 60() yards of the place, notwithsanding that the enemy still held the Fortified convents—and the enemy's work has been turned into a part of our first parallel, and a good communication made with it. Leutenant-General Hill arrived at Merida on the S":th December. He had hoped to surprise General Dombrouski (who I had been led to imagine was killed in General Hill's last affair with the enemy) in that town ; but his advanced guard was disco vered on the 29th by a patrole from a small detach ment of the enemy, which happened to be at La Nava, which effected its retreat to Merida, notwith standing the efforts of a detachment of Lieutenant- General cavalry to prevent it. General Dombrouski retired from Merida in the night, leaving a magazine of bread and 160,0001bs of -wheat in the town, and several unfinished works which the enemy had been constructing. On the Ist, General Hill moved forward with the intention of attacking General Drcuet, who com mands the sth corps, atAlmendralejo. This General, however, retired upon Zafra, leaving a magazine in the town, containing 450,0001b5. of wheat and some barley. On the 3d, Lieutenant-General Hill sent a de tachment, ce nsisting of the 28th Regiment and two squadrons of the 2d Hussars, some squadrons of the 10th Portuguese cavalry to Fuente del Maestre, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Abercromby.— Our cavalry defeated a body of the enemy's cavalry which was theri ; having taken two officers and 30 men prisoners. Lieutenant• General Hill having found that Gene va Drouet had retreated upon Lierena, and that it would be impossible for him to follow to a greater dis tance, returned to Merida on the sth, in order to place the troops under his command in betttr can tonments during the bad weather. I have the honour to inclose letters from Lieute nant General Hill, of the 3uth of December, 2d and 6th of Januiry, giving an account of his operations, returns of killed and wounded, &c.

M Loin—ln pursuance of your Lordship% instruc tions, I put the troops under my orders in march from their several cantonments, and entered this pro vince'on the '27th instant by Albuquerque, Villa de key, and St. Vicente ; and by the intellig e nce which I received from various quarters, I was led to enter tain the most sanguine hopes that I should have been able to surprise the enemy's troops stationed in this town. I was, however, disappointed in my expecta tions, by finding in La Nava, on our approach to that village yesterday, with the column from Albu querque, a party of the enemy, consisting of about Soo V( ltigeurs and a few Hussars, being part of a detachment which had arrived there the night pre ceding, avarently on a plundering excursion, the remainder whereof has proceeded to Cordi.,allas, an other village about two leagues distant. A patrule from La Nava fell in with the head of our column, and gave the alarm to the detachment, ve.ich immediately commenced its retreat towards Merida, followed by the cavalry of my advanced giiard, consisting of betwten 3 and 41X,t of the 13th tight dragoons and 2d hussars. As I considered the intercepting of the entire of this party to be of the greatest impol lance to our ul terior operations, I directed the cavalry abovemen tioned to make every effort to effect it, or at least to check its march until the arrival of some infantry. The intrepid and admirable manner, however, in which the enemy retired, his infantry formed in square, and favoured as he. was by the innate of the country, of . which he knew how to take the-fullest advantage, prevented the cavalry alone from acct. ing any thing against him, and after following him for upwards of a league, and making an ineffectual attempt to break him, I judged it advisable to give over the pursuit, and he effected his retreat, with the loss of about 20 killed, and as many wcunded, from four nine-pounders, which, by the great exertions of Major Hawker, and his officers and men, got within range, and followed him for some distance, but were unable to close upon him, owing to the deep ness of the country. One wing of the 71st light infantry, under Lieu tenant Colonel the Honourable H. Caftan, also exerted themselves in a most laudable manner to overtake the enemy, but were at too great a dis tance to admit of their accomplishing it in any rea sonable time. The arrival of the above-mentioned party at Me rida, made the enemy acquainted with our approach, of which I have reason to think he was before entirely ignorant, and he in consequence evacuated the town during the night, leaving unfinished some works which he was cor,ssructin; for its defence, andove entered it in the course of the day. I regret to state that we had two men killed, and some wounded in the affair of yesterday, of which I enclose a leturn.—l have, &c. (Signed) R. HILL. Since writing the above, it has been reported to me, that 180 fanegas of wheat have been found in the depct of this town, belonging to the French, be sides a quantity of bread.

Extract of a Letter from General Hill to Lord Viscount Welling- , ton, dated Almendralejo, Jan. 2, 1812, Since my letter to your Lordship from Merida of the 30th ult. I have the honour to report, that horn all the information I had received, I had reason to suppose, that Drouet was concentrating his troops at this place, I consequently moved on yesterday for the purpose of attacking him. On my approach to the town, I found that the greattr part of the enemy's troops had moved off the preceding day, is the direc tion of Villa Franca, and that his rear-guard was on its march, coveted by his cavalry, which skirmished with the hussars of my advanced guard, and retired after receiving a few rounds from the horse artillery. In this town we found a few stores, of which the enclosed is a return. I thought it possible the enemy might have afforded me an opportunity of doing something here.

MY LORD—My letter of the 2d an d 4d inst. would acquaint your Lordship of my having, on the Ist inst. marched with the corps under my command to Almendralejo, in the hope that Count d'Erlon, who had collected the greater part of his troops at that place, might have given me an opportunity of coming in contact with him, as well as of my disappointment in that respect, he having previously fallen back in the direction of Lerena, leaving only a small rear guard in Almendralejo, whicn retired also on our approach. I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that it was my intenti(m to have followed the enemy, and, failing in my desire to bring him to action, to have given him every possible annoyance in his retreat; but the dreadful state of the weather, the condition of the roads (which are daily becoming worse), and the consequent difficulty of getting up my supplies, render any further operations on my part impossible for the present, without incurring risks, and making sacrifices, greater than could have been justified by the occasion, or by your Lordship's instructions. I therefore determined, after halting two days at Al mendralejo, and oceupyin g Vill a Franca and Fuente del Maestre, to put the troops into cantonments in this town and neighbourhood, there to await a more Lavourable opportunity of acting ; trusting that the alafm occasioned to the enemy by the movement already made, will have in part effected one of the objects with which I was instructed by your Lord ship to take the field. A part of the troops accordingly returned here yesterday, and the remainder are now on their march; the enemy being, by the last accounts which I have received, also in full march towards the south, his rear-guard having left Zafra and Los Santos yes terday. I have the satisfaction to enclose, for your Lord ship's information, a letter from the Honourable Lieutenant-Colonel Abercromby, detailing the par ticulars of a successful attack, made by some of the 2d hussars and Portuguese cavalry acting miler his orders at Fuente del Maectre, on a body of the ene my's dragoons, which reflects the greatest credit on Lieutenant-Colonel Abercromby who directed, and the officers and son-commissioned officers'and men who executed it. I have, &c. (Signed) R. HILL. Merida, January 5, 1812. Sia—ln obedience to your orders, I marched on the 3d instant from Almendralejo at noon, with the column you did me the honour to place under my command, and reached Fuente del Maestre at a little after four o'clock on the evening of that day. On my arrival, 1 learned that some of the enemy's ca valry were still in the neighbourhood; and having passed through the town, L halted the column, and proceeded to reconnoitre in front. About 100 of the enemy's horse were discovered on the Los Santos road, who, apparently ignorant of our force, formed squadron ruin advanced towar. s us. The Portu guese cavalry exchanged a few shots with them until the hussars were brought up ; the enemy then halted, and sheaved a disposition to charge ; in this, however, he was quickly frustrated. The two squadrons dile hussars were formed on the fight, and one squadron of the 10th Portuguese cavalry on the left. Instantly the enemy were charged oi one flank by the squadron of Portuguese under Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell, and by Captain Cleves's squadron on the other. The right hussar squadron remained in reserve. A few minutes decided the contest. The enemy being com pletely routed, left in our hands two officers and 30 men, besides several killed. The squadron which remained in reserva was then sent in pursuit as far as prudence would allow. No language of mine can do sufficient justice to the gallantry of Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell, as well as that of Lieutenant Hutchinson, the other of ficers and men composing the squadron of Portu guese cavalry. Suffice it to say, that on this occa sion the hussars under Major Busche upheld the high military character they are so universally known to possess. This little affair has b n atchieved with very tri fling lo'.s on our side. Inclased I have the honour to transmit to you a list of the killed and wounded. ( Signed) A. ABEIICROIIIIV, Lieut.-Cul.
