I crossed the Upper Guarena at Vallesa and El Olmo with the whole of the Alli..d 1 Army in the course of that evening an.l night, and , every preparation was made for the action. which was expected on the plain of Vallesa on the morning of the 20th.

During these movements there have been occasional ' cannonades, but without loss on our side. I have this morning moved the left of the army to the Tormes, when the whole are now concentrated, and 1 ohserve.that the enemy have also moved towards the same river, nest:- Huerta. The enemy's object hidtarto has been, to cut of my coctmunication with Salarranca and Ciudad Rodrigo. • The enemy abandoned and destroyed the fort of Mirabete on the Tagns, on the I4th instant; and the garrison marched to Madrid, to form par of the army - of the centre.

DOWNING-STREET, AUGUST I& Lord Clinton, Aid de Camp to the Earl of Wel. lington, arrived this morning at the War Depart ment with dispatches addressed by his Lordship to Earl Bathurst, dated the 21st, 24/th, and 28th ultimo, of which the following are extracts : Cabrerizos. pear %damask Judy st. In the course of the 15th and 16th, the enemy moved all their troops to the right of their position on the Douro, and their army was concentrated be tween Toro and San Roman. A considerable body passed the Douro at Toro on the evening of the 16th, and I moved the allied army to their kit on that night, with an intention to concentrate can the Guarana. It was totally out of my potter to prevent the ene my from passing the Douro at any point at which he might think it expedient, as he had in his possess;on all the bridges over that river, and many of the fords; but he recrossed that river at Torn, in the night of the 16 L b;moved his whole army to Tbrdesillas, where he again crossed the Douro on the morning (. 4 ; the 1 17tb, and assembled his army on that Day at La Nava del Key, having m.trched not less than ten 'leagues in the cnurse of the 17th. The 4th and light divisions cf infantry, and Ma. jor:General Anson's brigades of cavalry, had marched to Castrejon oil the night of the 16th, with a view to theacsembly df fhelarmy on the Guarena, and were at Castrejon under the 'orders of Lieut.- General S* Stapleulet Cotton, on the 17th, not having been ordered to proceed further, in consequence of my knowledge thai the enemy had not passed the Douro at Toro; and there was not time to call them in between the hour at which I received the intelli gence of the whole of the enemy's army being at La 1 Nava, and daylight of the morning of the 18th. I therefore took sueasures to provide for their retreat and junction, by moving the sth division to Torde sillas de la Orden, and Major-General Le Marchant's, Mdjor-General Alten's, and Majcr-General Bock's brigades of cavalry to Alaejos., The enemy attacked the troopsit Cartrejon, at the dawn of day of the 18th, and;Sir Stapleton Cotton maintained the post, without soffhing 11111 , kit, till the cavalry-had joined him. Nearly abo,ut the, same 1 time the enemy turned •by ,Alasjos the left flank of our position at Castrejon. • The troops retired in admirable order to Tonle sillas de la Orden, having the enemy's whole srthy on their flank or in their rear ; and thence to the , Guarena, which river they passed undet the same cit.. ctrantances, and effected their junction with the army. The Guarena, which runs into the Douro, is form ed by four meats, which unite shoot a league below Conical, and the enemy took a coung position on the 'heights on the right of that river, and I placed, the Sth, 4th. and light divisicns, on the opposite height,s t , L i h,l bail directed the rescinder d lira army so art I
