Ott the same evening Don Julian Sanches surptised the eneuKk's post at Castrocano, and took two officers and 30 cavalry prisoners, and he drove their posts from the ford at Pohos. The enemy had flestroyed the bridges of Zamora and Toro, and the difficulties in the passage of the Esla had retarded the move ments of our rear, Avhile the enemy had concenbated . their force. to a considerable ainount between Torrelobaton and Tordesillas. therefore halted on the 3d at Toro, in order to bring .the lightdivi sion and the troops tinder the command of Lieut.-General Sir Row land Hill, across the Douro, by the bridge of the town; and to close up the rear, 'and bring the Galician army to join our left: Wei . moved again on the 4th. • The enemy had commenced collecting their troops towards the Douro, :when they fcnntl that we passed Ciudad Rodrigo"-, and they crossed the Donro at - Tordesillas on the Ist and - 2d. The • troops at . Madrid and the detachments on the Tagus broke up on the (7th, - and crossed the Donro at the Polite tie Donro on the 3(1, - and Val ladolid was entirely evacuated. en-the 4th. :•• The enemy left considerable mazazines of grain at Arevalo, and mite ammunition at VallAdolid and Zamora.

(Signed) WELLINGTON. • MY Lonn,—l have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that • on approaching Morales this morning, with the hussar brigade, the French cavalry appeared in considerable force near that place. • The 10th Royal .11Ussars were immediately brought forward, under the orders of Major Robarts, who attacked the advanced' squadrons of the enemy in the mosrgallant manner: their front line made a determined resistance, but was instantly overpowered by the irresistible impetuosity of the 10th Hessars, which being now supported by the 18th, (the 15th being in reeerve) reached their second' hue, and drove it, with loss, to th e heights, two miles•in • from of Morales-; a position which the enemy occupied with a large force of cavalry and infantry, and where the remains of their shat tered squadrons took shelter under cover of their guns. It - is with • ntrch satisfaction I acquaint your T.ordship, that nothing could ex ceed the steadiness and brave:y or the troops in this affair. I have, however, to regret the loss of a very promising youpg officer, Lieut. Cotton of the loth hussars, who was killed in fbe an'dst of the enemy's ranks. _ I am sorry to add, that Capt. Lloyd, (Enclosure in the preceding Dispatch.) Morales, June?. 1813. .. . • of the same regiment, is missing. • I have the honour to enclose the return of the killed and Wounded, also a retiirn of the loss sustained by the enemy, as far as it can be rdeeriained.
