After I was certain of the fall of the place, I mov ed the infantry of the army again into the valley of the Mondego, keeping a division upon Guarda, and the outposts of the cavalry at Alverca. The enemy attacked our picquets twice yesterday in the morning but feebly, and they were repulsed ; in the afternoon, however, they obliged Sir Stapleton Cotton to draw in his posts to the side of Fraxedas. Captain Lygon, .of the. 16th Light Dragoons, was wounded in the morning. and two men of the Royal Dragoons were , wounded in the afternoon. A picquet of the regiment made a gallant and sac cessful charge upon a party of the enemy's infantry and cavalry, and took some prisoners. The second corps under General Regnier has made no movement of any importance since I had the ho nour of addressing your Lordship last. A patrole, however, belonging to this corps fell in with a squa dron of Dragoons, consisting of one troop of the 13th ' British, and one troop of the 4th Portuguese, belong ing to Lieutenant General Hill's corps, under the command of Captain White of the 15th, and the whole of them were taken, with the exception of the Captain and one man, who, I since understand, have been killed. I enclose the copy of Brigadier General Fane's rep - ort to Lieutenant General Hill of this affair, which it appears was highly creditable to Captain White, and the allied troops engaged. No movement has been made, and nothing of any trapoirance has occurred in Estremadura since I ad dressed sour Lordship last. In the north, the enemy moved a small body of infantry and cavalry on the 20th to Alcanezas ; but Geiteial Silveira moved towards them from Bragan. va, and they immediately retired. Esealhos de Ciao, August 22. SIR-1 have the honour to report to you, that the trooiol the 13th Light Dragoons, and one of the .: 4th Portuguese - Dragoons, forming the squadron un der the command of Captain White, of the 13th, at Ladoera, this morning fell in with a patrole of the enemy's Dragoons, consisting of one Captain, two Subalterns . , and about sixty men. Captain White fortunately succeeded in coming up with them, when he : immediately charged and overturned them ; and the result has been, the capture of two Lieutenants, iltree Serjeants; six Corporals, cue Trumpeter, and fifty Privates, and about fifty Horses. The Cap tain was also a prisoner, but escaped during the bus tle on foot. I am happy to say, this has been performed with out the loss of a man on our side. ,Six of the enemy are wounded. • Captain White expresses his obliga tipn to Major Vigoreaux, of the 38th regiment, who was a Olunteer with him, and to the Alferes Pedro Raymuodo di Oliviera, commanding the Portuguese - troop (which he states to have done its duty extremely well, and to have shown much gallantry) ; and also' to Lieutenant Turner, of the 13th Light Dragoons, to whose activity and courage he reports himself to be•indebted for several of his prisoners. I trust the whole will be considered to have merited the appro. ibation of the Commander-in-Chief. I have the honour to be, d.c. it. PANE. I.

TOnTosA.—On the 3d of August, the garrison of Tortosa made a general sally. It advanced on all points at the same time, even under our entrench ments : the first posts gave way for an instant to the shock ; but Generals Laval and Klopiski, at the head of the companies d'ilite of the 44th regiment, and the 2d of the Vistula, threv: themselves on the enemy, who was driven back into the place, with the loss of 1 400 killed ; among whom were some officers of rank. The Governor, Count D'Ulcas, received a danger ous wound ; we made 300 prisoners, among whom ' are 1 Colonel and 16 Officers. The cavalry which sallied from the place have lost almost all their horses. Our loss has been only 8 killed, and 33 wounded.— Colonel Lafosse, of the 44th, and Major Michalousky, distinguished themselves. • TO THE PRINCE OF NEUFCHATEL AND WAGRAM. " SIR—In my last dispatch, I had the honour to acquaint you that on the 26th the fortress of Al meida returned our fire till four in the afternoon 3— that then it ceased entirely ; that at seven a consider able explosion took place in the fortress ; and - that the conflagration was kept up during the night by our bombs and howitzers. This state of things deter mined me to summon the Governor to surrender, yesterday morning. He sent me some officers to ask a cessation of hostilities. I made known to them the terms of capitulation which I should offer. Several hours of the day were employed in negotiation, which did not produce the success which I desired. I there fore ordered our fire to recommence at eight in the evening, and three hours after the Governor of the place signed a capitulation, of which I have the ho nour to send you a copy, together with that of my summons. Almeida is thus in the possession of his Majesty the Emperor and King.. We entered it this morning at nine o'clock. The garrison are prisoners of war, and shall be conducted to France. We have found on the batteries of the place, 98 pieces of can non anti 17 requiring repairs, 300,000 rations of bis cuit, 100,000 rations of salted meat, and a great quantity of other provisions. 44 I think it my duty to say something to your Highness of the disposition of the garrison. The Marquis d'Alorma, a General of Division, a Portu guese, and several other General or superior Officers of his nation, employed in the French army, ap proached the fortress while the negotiation was going forward. They were recognized from the walls, by a great number of their countrymen, who loudly ex peessed their satisfaction at being freed from the yoke of the English ; which was much increased, when they learned that the Emperor had attached to his service, and in their several ranks, the Portuguese Officers who were in France ; and that far from having reduced them to the state of humiliation which the English make them feel at present, he hid admit ted them to the honour of fighting at his side, in his great campaigns. 44 The horrors committed by the English are de plorable ; they cpt down the corn, destroy mills, houses, and make a desert of that unfortunate coun try which they were invited to defend. They ;hus violate the laws of nations and of war. This nation is accustomed fo respect nothing ; its interest for'the moment is its only law. " It is the division of Loison, of the corps of the l Duke of Elchingen, which has carried on the Skive of; Ciudad Rodrigo, and Almeida. The two tither di visions of that corps, the three divisiois of the 2d corps, and the three dirisionsof the corps of the I)uke of Abrantes, have not yet fired a musket. The Duke of Abrantes is at Ledesrna ; General Regnier corn-0 manding the 2d corps, is at Zarza Mayer. ihe sol diers are in good health, the army is well provisinuect . and burning with a desire to teach the English that' which we have'already taught the division of Crau furd. The Emperor may rely oa the bravery and dispositions of the army, as well as on my zeal and respectful devotion. I have the htinour, ticc.

PARIS, SEPTEMBER 11. Stlag OF ALAI Eitm.—The Prince of Essling caused the trenches to be opened before Almeida on the night of the 15th of August ; a false attack directed against the north of the town had drawn the attention of the besieged to that -quarter. Two thousand workmen took advantage of :that circumstance to dig the first parallel to a depth of three feet, along a line of more than 500 toist's, in spite of the difficulties arising from the rocky nature of the 'ground, and the necessity of every instant covering themselves by gabions. Between the ISth and the 19th, though the fire of elle enemy was very brisk, and the obstacles which the rocks presented to the enlargement of the trenches .Appearydinsurmountahle, the parallel was finished, end the rocks bloWn up by the Petard. . Between the 20th and the .25th eleven batteries mere erected. During the night of " the 24th, the se- . cond parallel was opened in the rock, at less than • 130 tuises from the place. The terrible fire of the fortress did not permit us to maintain it during ..the day ; but on the following night the miners fi nished deepening and enlarging the trenches with the Petard. The mounting and supplying of the batteries . :were alp° Anished the same night. On the 26th, at five in the morning, eleven batte *es, mounted with 6L pieces of cannon, opened their fire on the fortress, which returned it with 'vigour ; but at four in the afternoon their fire slackened : at ,xeven, one of our bombs exploded the principal pow. .der magazine of the place; the explosion was terri ble. At the departure of the courier, the fire of our batteries was redoubled with activity. . • gSTRIMADURA.-A Spanish division Ided r Y Dallasteros, already driven back several times on thp frontiers of Portugal, thought it had found .a fa. vourable opfortunity for throwing itself upon Cordo- - vaovbile the Bth corps was manoeuvring on the Gua diana.

Our flotilla has this day supported a combat which does it the greatest honour. Since tl:e 15th, th e greater part of the boats which were in the anchor ige of Scala, had repaired to the left cf the Punta Jd Pezzo. This movement determined the enemy to re. inforce his line in the interior of the strait, with a fri. gate, a corvette, and a brig, which had been before anchored to the north-west of the Lighthouse of Mes. sina. For three days inaction prevailed on both side:. Last night; soon after midnight, his Majesty ordered twenty armed boats to advance for the purpose o: firing chain-shot into the enemy's camp, on the on. .posite shore. They approached so near that the firing commenced, which caused an alarm ; more than tar. hundred cannon-shots were fired without effect, and the. boats regained their anchorage having sustained t u sustained any loss. 1- This morning the enemy, wishing to act on the of. fensive in his turn, sent towards the Punta del Pena 00 gun-boats, a frigate, a corvette, and a brig ; we were prepared for the combat, and the king gave or. ders to let them advance within cannon-shot, which left our line - exposed to all the enemy's fire for tea hours, without a shot being returned. His Make , then perceiving that the enemy's vessels were &ivez along by'the current, ordered the divisions of BOIIr Bourg and of Cosa, to put out and attack them, al iie the divisiott Bausan was ordered to make over to t camp of,the enemy, which was deprived of its lined gun-boats. At the first bullet which fell in the camp , I all the-soldiers threw themselves into their tretchc4 and our troops were already under arms, preparediT embarkation, when the enemy perceiving the mom ment,, plied all their oars and sails to gain their to of . defence, aid to oppose the threatened debarkation, 'whic'h Would certainly have been effected, if the car tea hid been stronger. After this, the firing recou - mewed With new vivacity,. and IS of our gun-ben, protected by a single battery of three - cannon, sup ported the whole effect of the broadsides of the gate, corvette, and brig. This last vessel was struck with more than 10 balls, and then. abandoned thi .Combat. A boat, with the English Commandant a tpl; was pierced by a ball, and sank before Gra in the middle of the channel. Three cr foer d the etnemy's gun-boats were Also swamped, and men were got off by towing. The enemy have suffered .cOnsidma , . big ; for during an hour oar divisions raked their line in all directions ; almost all our gaga-boats were strtick, but one only was swainped,:which box. wvei•will be fit for sea tomorrow: Wehad a'ooeild men.killed or wounded. This glorious combatlasted six hours, during which more than 4000 shot: vet fired on both sides.
