Ott ,LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1813. • • - WAR M.PARTMENT, VOWNING STREET, OCT. 18, 1813. Captain the Ear: of Marelf an ived this morning with a dispatch tient Vivid Marshal the Mat quis of Welliegton, addressed to Earl 41ptburst, foie of Ids Majesty's principal Secsetaries of State, of which the following fie a copy : LM CC S, October 9,-1613. " MT .Loup,--lipviaz deem«l it espeAent to cross the Bi a assoa with the lett of the army, 1 have the pleasure to Wolin your loodslep that that object was effected on the 7th instant. Lientcrant-gtiwrai Sir Thomas Graham directed the 1t and sth envisions, and the Ist Portuguese In igade, tender Brigadier-General Wilson, to cross that liver in three columns Wow. and in one above Cite site of the Bridge, under the command of Major-General Hay, the Bon. (Mond Greville. Major-Get:era! the Hon. Edward Stop fos t?, and Major:General How.r.ti ; and Lieutenant General Don Mantles I're, re directed that part of the 4th Spanish army tinder his immediate etanntasl, to, cross in three columns at fords, above those at which the sullied British and Portuguese troops passed. The /4 - 11 Vii Were destined to carry the enemy's entrencluneuts about and aliove Audaye. while the latter should carry those. on the Mon- Vigne-Verte, and on the height of Mandale, by which they were to lam the enemy's left. le The eperations of both bodies of troops succeeded in every point. The Bullish and Portuguese troops took seven pieces of cannon its the reds nbts and batteries which they caned, and the Spanish trot. p.: one pit Fool cannon in those by them. I lead particular satisfaction in observing the steadiness and gal lant ty of all Ibe troops. The 9th British regiment weie vt s y s! Fnagly opposed, charged with bayonets more than once, and ha‘e tutlered ; but lam happy to at:d, that in other parts of th4:C et:rw. earlaPs has not been severe. The Spanish troops tinder Lieut.-Gen. Don Manuel Frey re be. laved admirably, and turned and carried the enemy's entrenel.ments IS* the hill, with gteat dexterity and gallantry; and 1 um much it.debt. ed to the Licot.-Gen. and to Lieut.-Gels. Sir T. Graham, and to dig general and Staff Officers of both Corps, - for the execution of tlee arrangements for this operation. • Lieut.-Gen. Sir T. Graham, having thns rztablishe (I, within the Vrench territory, the Mops of the Allied British and Portuguese Army, which had been so / frequently distinguished under Isis com "nand, resigned the command to Lieut.-Gen Sir John Hope, who had arrived from Ireland the preceding day. While this was going on upon the left, Maj.• Gen. C. Baron Alton attacked, with the light division, the enemy's intrenehments in the Puerto de Oera, stspnorted by the Spanish tilvision under Brieadier- Geis. 14-4iga ; and the Mat fiscal del Canipo Don Pedro Giron at tacked the set emy's intrenchinents and posts on the mountain, called La Inane, immediately on the right of the light divbioo, with the rimy of reserve of Andalusia. • Col. Coluorne, of the 5.:.1 regiment, who commanded 'Maj.-Gen. nerrctt 's brigade, in the abseece of the Maj.-Gen. on account of liia ill health, attacked the enem y 's rii4ht in a camp wider, they lead strongly intreuched ; and the s'2d regiment, under Maj. Pde.in, charged in a most gallant style, and carried the intl . ( nehment with Ole bayonet. The Ist and 3tlcKadoies, and the ed battalion Stith *invent, as well as the 5 td, distieguisl;ed themselve. , in this attack. Makr-General Ketept's ringside attacked by the Puerto, where 11te opposition was not Po severe; and Major-General Charles Al ien has reported his sense of the jedgment displayed both by the tiajor General and by Colonel Colborne, in these attacks; and 1 am particularly indebted to Major General Chatles Alien for tl.e manner in which he executed this service ; the light division took i'. , officers vs.d 400 men prisoners, and three pieces of cannon. • These troops carried every thing hefore them in the most gallant stile, till tiny arrived at the foot of the rn.k on which the hermit age stands, and they made repeated atten pts to tale even that post by Mtn.; hut it was impossible to get IT ; and the enemy remain ed during the night in posession of the hermitage ; and on a r' k on the same rao4c of the mountain, with the right of the Spanish troops. Sonic time elapsed yesterday morning, l,etiAe the fog clear ed away sufficiently to enable me to reconnoitre the mountain, which I fouod to be inaccessible by its right, and that the attack of it might lie connected with adyannete with the attack of the enemy's works in front of the catsup of Sierra. I accordingly ordered the army of reserve to concentrate to their rielut ; and, as sot) as the. concentration commenced, Marisear del Campo Don Pedrollisoil ordered_ the battalion de las Ortlunr: so attack the enemy's post on Ike sight of the position occuiiie:. by his troops, which wasiilstant xttk ocr. 4. 'y carried iu the most gallant Mile. Those troops' folkrwed up heir stweess, and carried .an intrenehment on a hill which protected rite right of the Camp of Sarre, and the enemy immediately evacuated all their world to tlz.fend the approaches to the camp, which were taken possession of by the detachments sent from the 7th division .en! by Lieut.-Gen. the Earl of Daitionsie, through the Panto de Eschalar, for this purpose. 1.,)n I'. Giron then estnblished a battalion on the enemy's left, on the rock of the Hermitage. - It was too late to proeced Nether la s t eight, and the enemy withdrew from their post at the Hermitage, , el from the comp of Sarre during the night. • It gives me singular satisfaction to report the good conduct of the Akers ant! troops ot the army ofecserve ot Andalesite as well it. the Operialfteis of the 7th inst. as in those of yesterday. The attack, made by the b.ef talien of Las Ordenes, under the command of ca. Itorp, yesterday, was made in as_ good order, anti with as much spirit, as any ether I have seen made by any troops; and I was mw':i satimtied with the spirit and discipline of the whole of this corps. 1 cannot applaud too highly the execution of the 'arrangemente for these attacks by l'elariscal de Campo Don Pedro (Won, and the General and Staff Officers limier his directions. I omitted to report to your Lordship in may dispatch of the -itlt inst. that upon my way to Roticesvalles, on the Ist inst. I direele4 iirigadier.fien.

' Since 1 Adves.sed yenr Lordship last, I have received dispatches from Lietit..Gen. Clinton, in Catalonia, to the 3d inst.
