Bin, I.ivoly, Vigo, June 7, 1509. Be pleased to inform my Lords Commissiouers of the Ad miralty, that, yesterday evening, an express arrived from a ipanish Officer at San Payo, to Commodore Dim Juan Car(ar ono, that the Conde de Norona was retiriug with his diviiiion of the Galician army from Pontevedra to that place, and desiring boats might be there to convey the troops across toe river, ( !he bridge having been broken down on the 7th of May,) C•mvilo. dore Don J. Carransas requesting assistance, Captain Winter, with the Cadmus (who hail heeu obliged to put back from stress of weather) immediately sailed up the river Kith the Portuguese schooner Curium, under my 'orders from the Honourable Vice- Admiral Berkeley, the Tigre Spnoisli *thornier of tsar, and as many boats and vessels as could possibly he coliected. This retrograde movement caused me much anxiety, pm! I very early this morning went up in the barge to fan Payo, where I found Brigadier-general Carrera, stroutty ponied on the south side of the bridge (the Conde Norona being at !Lydon dela,) and in my interview with hies I learnt that the, encitt), after the Brigadier-General had taken Santiago, united tt fortes from Lugo to litobe of Coruna, amounting to eight thotectiol men, two thousand five hundred cavalry, with several pieces and some twelve-pounders. This force being very touch superior to the Brig:Wier'', be re treated to Caldas and Pontevedra, where the Conde de Norma joined. From the CACCSDiVe and continued heavy rains we have had of late, much of the ammunition was unavoidably insionged, at d P , :!:evedra being too distant to receive any more when at. tasked, the falling back ou such a strong position was well coo. ceived and must ably executed.

During the night of the 7th, the enemy ereeted a battery. ,Commodore Don Juan tratrransas sent up three gun-boats, one of which Captain Winter mimed, under the charge of Lieut.

At daylight in the morning of the St It, the enemy opened his fire, both as. she Galician troops and the boats; the latter of which, from the tide being up, get rear, and destroyed lite enemy's batteries. At the fall of the tide the enemy made two desperate attempts to cross below the bridge with his cavalry and infantry, but the great courage and spirit displ:tyed by our friends repulsed them with great slaugh ter.
