JAN. 26. I superiorly gallant conduct of the Officers and men defied the most daring intrepidity ; and after allowin g the enemy to advance within a very few yards, and whilst coolly lying on the ground to receive hirt like British soldiers, the enemy was charged, and routed most com pletely ; when ended the action, without his having the temerity to renew it again. About this period I had to lament the severe loss of lieutenant Kay, 62d, who was gallantly fighting his skirmishers; and shortly after, Lieutenant Popon, of the royal marines. The loss of the enemy is supposed to be between sixty and seventy in killed and wounded ; but I am rather inclined to imagine it more. Lieu tenant-Colonel Mastciola was severely wounded, with little hopes of recovery. I hope, Sir, you will excuse any inaccuracy that may have escaped my pen in this very hasty sketch, and beg leave to add, that we em barked in the afternoon of the s d instant, without molestation, being covered by the fire of his Majesty's ships the Imperiese and Thames. I have, &c. EDW. DARLEY, Major 62d, command ing a Detachment of the 62d Regt. To Major-General Heron, tic. Melazze. Officers Wounded. Captain Oldham, severely. Lieutenant Ray, severely, since dead. N. B. Serjeant Jeffery, since E dead of his wounds. (Signed) E. DARLEY, Major 62d Regt. This Ghzette also contains short Dispatches from the Peninsula; oin the first of widen, dated the 24th ultimo, it appears that the ei,einy's troops, in addition to those employed immediately against Ta riffa, extended across the plain to Veger, where Marshal Victor had his quarters with a strong corps. According to another dispatch from the same writer, Colonel J. B. Skerrett, dated six days after, we find that the enemy, who had invested the town on the 20th, had since rapidly carried on a regular parallel and approach against the wall of the town, which was considered "as doing much honour to the garrison." Hav ing brought up four sixteen-pounders and some howitzers, the enemy opened his fire against the wall on the 29th, when, unluckily, the ship ping had been driven away by gales of wind. Before night, a practi cable breach was effected, a constant fire having been kept up from half-past ten in the morning. The enemy continuing to widen the le each the next day, Colonel Skerrett had recourse to the measure of defending the houses ; a constant fire of musketry being sustained by his troops, and those of the enemy being estimated at the number of ten thousand. Amongst the effects of those skirmishes, Col. Skerrett particularly regrets the loss of the service of Lieutenant Swanter, De pnty Assistant Quarter -Master-General, who was dangerously wound ed; also Captain O'Donaghue, Acting Aid-de-Camp, wounded; and Lieutenant De Burgh, slightly wounded. Colonel Green, employed upon a particular service in Catalonia, speaks highly, in another dispatch, of the very excellent inclinations of the Spanish people; and represents the news from Arragon to be very favourable. The entire defeat of WOO of the French, at Calatuyud, by the litnpecinado is confirmed • whilst there is strong reason to be lieve that Mina has lately routed 6C)00 Censcripts, near Cayarossa. Ge neral Suchet had drained Arragon of troops, to support himself in Va lencia. This Gazette further contains a Letter from Captain Griffiths, of H. M. S. Leonidas, an nouncing the capture of the schoon er private ar Confiance, mounted 14 guns (thrown overboard in the chace), had 68 men, and was nine days from St Mottoes without Liking any thing.
