On the 6th instant, at eleven o'clock at night, Lord W Et— LINOTON gave orders for the Ist, stb, and light divi*- . 1 .• sions of the army, composing the following corps, to be ready to march at two o'clock the next morning : six. First Division—Guards, and Colonel 1-Im.xxv's German Corps; 'Fifth Division—Royals, 4th, 9th, 38th, 47th, 591,,, with one brigade of Portuguese.i— These troops formed two brigades; commanded by Generals Her and WALKER. The 95th, 4.3 d, 5 1 2 d, and one briga'tle of Portuguese infantry, formed the 'Light Division, commanded by General CHARM 4i 4r 1.4. Accordingly. these corps, at the hour apfi pointed, marched-to the BidassoaSeparatea l • Bpain from Fiance), fOrding is in eight divisions,-at Arun, in'front of Bayonne. The enemy had become so unsusplcious bf any such I movement being intended, that they were in,a manner unprepared to defend their lines, which our troops at tacked and carried in the most gallant style.; the:. enemy's troops, which consisted of twelve thousand men, retreating upon their second line, with the loss of about 200 killed and wounded, 500 prisoners, and three field-pieces. The 13ritish loss vas about 400 Milled and wounded. The 9th Regiment, whichled, suffered most. No Officer fell. On the next day, the enemy attempted to regain their lost position, but were.repulsed ; and 'Lord WELLINGTON intended, on the 11th, to attack the fortified Convent of La Reune, which is sitated on• the o p of an almost inaccessible mountain; this would make his line complete, and pillect the object Fe seems at present to have in view. position is about- three leagues in front° of Bayonne, between the Bidassoa and the Nivelle. The enemy's army now occupies a line in the rear, and one in advance beyond. The one they have been de. prived of is hutted, and affords very comfortable ' quarters for our troops. The picquets of the British army have approached to within a league and a half of Bayonne. It was his Lordship's intention to rest his left upon St. Jean de Luz, which was SdUL?'s bead-quarters when he forced the passes to relieve St. Sebastian's and Pamplona. ao.l 'o take up his winter quarters there. His Lordship, we are informed, bad understood, that Solna had set off for Dresden, and that SUCREr wei in the command of the army at Bay, onne: One account stated, that SOULT took fifteen thousand men will him.—Pamplona and Santona still held out. Their fall was become inevitable from want of supplies—it was not, therefore, intended to risque the loss of any men to accelerate it. An Officer of rank was waiting at St. Sebastian's to bring home Lnrd WELLXNOTON'S dispatches, which, we understand, be would write immediately after the position of La Retitle had been attacked. Sir JOHN 114)PE had arrived, and succeeded General Sir THOMAS GRAHAM (W!)0 is Coming home) as second in com mand of the army. The DICTATOR left St. Sebas tian's on Saturday se'nnigtn, in the evening.
