Major Burgh, Aid,de.Camp to the Marquis of Wellington, has this day arrived at Lord Bailiurst's Office with Dispatches, aduressed to hi. Lordship by Lord Wellington, dated Madrid, the 13t1i and 15th 131 t. of which the following are Extracts : Madrid, August 13. Having fouial that the army under Marshal Marmont 'continued their retreat upon Burgos, in a state not likely to take the field again for some time, 1 deterinhied to bring Joseph Buonaparte to a general sic: 1 , 4, or force him to quit Madrid. Accordingly 1 moved fr om Cuoilar on the 6th instant. We arrived at Segovia on the 7th, and at St. lidtranso on the Bth, where I halted one day, to allow the right of the army more time to come No uppoSition was made to the passage of the - troops through the mountains ; and Brigadier-General D'Urban, with the Portuguese cavalry, and Ist light battalion of the . King's German Legion, and Captain M‘Dornald's troop of horse artillery, had been through the Guadarama Pass since the 9th. He moved forward on the moining of the 11th, from the neighbour hood of Galapagas, and supported by the heavy cavalry of the King's German Legion from Torrelodones, _be drove an the French cavalry, about two thousand in number, and placed himself at Majalahonda, with the Portuguese cavalry and Ca: rain M'Donald's troop, and the cavalry and light infantry of the King's German Legion at Las Royas, about Three quarters of a mile distant. fhe ene m y's cavalry, which had been driven off is the Morning, had moved towards Camaro, returned about five in the after noon, and Brigadier-General D'Urban having formed the Portuguese cavalry in front of Majalahonda, supported by the kvirse artillery, or ' r^rf he cavalry to charge the enemy's leading squadrons, which gppeared too far ad',iuced to be supported by their main body. The Purtu‘ucsc cavalry advanced w the attack, but unfortunately turned • u. . -~-- r - . --,., TUE NATIONAL TIECISTER. 4 SEPT. 6. about before they reached the enemy ; and they fled througlatlio behind them t g .t e s of Majalahonda, and back (loon tlh. German dragoons; ka‘ii them unprotected and nusupperted, those guns of Capt. Nl' troop, which had been moved forward to co-operate with the cavalry. By tln: activity of :he officers and soldiers of Captain M'Don:lit'i troop, the guns were, however; moved off; but owing to the mita vourable nature of the ground over which they were moved, the car ri. age of 041 e was broken, and two others were overturned ; and three guns fell into the ent my's !a n ds. The Portuguese draw:wits having fled through Majalahonda, were rallied and re-tormed upon the heavy dragoons of the Kin;;', Ger m a i. ) !.• pion, which were hirnied between that village and Lasti ns; I he German cavalry ch irgcd the cuemy, althoogh under many -)'‘.,!,t. vaioages, and s , oppcd their tart her pi( gress; but I ant ..arty sie, that they stille:ed consider:lWe :old that Cc lo.:c1 ow!iies, wl, O commanded the brigade, was taken prisoner. The left of the army was about 1% , i it,iks and a half distant, at the Puer to de Ratamar, the Cuadat onar R iver, and Colonel Pon sn oo ) , ,.. nr i ga d e of cavalry, and a brigade 0t iiitantry of the ith division, having moved fcrward to the support of the tr' n in a:v twe, the enemy retired upon 7i . honda as soon as they observed these troops, and 'light haver - lie on, they retired u Lon A lcorcon, leaving our guns at Majalahch I am happy to report that the officers of the Portio:tice cavalry behaved rem oka' ly w ell, and shewed a good example to their n.en, particularly the N' Ist on& de Barbacena, who was taken priLoeei The ci tattier of the brave German cavalry, Nvas, I uaderstatid, excel lent, as was that of Captain Donald's two') of horse artillery. ia.lots battalion was not engiqed. The army moved f:r ward ‘esierklay looming, and its left took possession of the cat) of Madrid, Joseph Ituunaparte having retired - with army of the cen tre, by ti:e roads of Toledo anti A ranjuez, leaving a garrison in th e Retire. It is impossible to Ocscr.be the toy manifested by the inha. bEtants of Math id upon our arrival ; and I hope that the prevalence cf the same se:nom:ins of detestation of the French yoke, and of a attong desire to secure the independeoce of their country, which first induced them to :,et the example of resistance to the Usurper, will induce them to make exertions in the cause of their country, which will be mow efficacietra than these formerly made. I have not yet heard that Astorga has fallen ; but the garrison which the enemy left in Tordesillas, about 260 in number, surren dered to General Santocildes on the sth inst. I have received no farther reports of the situation of General Bal i lasteros since the '?lst of July. I have letters from General . Joseph O'Donnell, and General Roche of the :26th of July ; and the arm) Of Murcia, under the command of the former, was itetcated by General D'Harispe, on the 216 t Of July. It appears that the Spanish troops moved forward to attack General D'Hatispe's posts at Castalla and at Ybi ; those which attacked the former were tcpulsed with the Iss ot 00 men and two pieces of cannon ; those which aacked the latter under the command ot General R oc he, conducted tt themselves rematkably well, and covered the retreat of the troops under Ccn: rat O'Donnell, and at:erwards effected their own retreat, in goad Greer, to Alicante. Madrid, August 15, 1812. 1 have the pleasure to inform your Lordship, that.. the garrison of the Retiro surrendered by Capitulation yesterday ; and 1 have now the hen ur to enclose a translation of the Capitulation. We invested the place completely on the evenir.g of the 13th ; aid in the night detachments of the 7th division of infantry, under the command of Major-General the Honourable E. Pakenhain, tirr.TA: in the enemy 's post, from the Prado and the Botanical Garden; and the works l which they had constructed outside of the park wall ;'and havnie broken through the wall in different places, they were es. taqisned in the palace ot the Retiro, and close to the exteriot of the enemy's wt,rks, enclosing the building called La China. ,1 be troops were preparing in the morning to attack th o s e works, rneparatory to the arrangements to be adopted for the attack of the interior line and building, when the Governor sent out an Officer to desire to capitulate, and I granted him the honours of %N al*, the bag. gage of the officers and soldiers of the garrison, &c. as specified in the enclosed agreement. I enclose a teturn of the strength ot the garrison, which marched out yesterday at our o'clock, on their toad to Ciudad Rodrigo. We have found in the place one hundred and eighty-nine pieces of brass ordnance in excellent condition ; nine hundred barrels of powder; twenty thousand stand ot arms ; and considerable magazines of clothing, provisions, and ammunition. We have likewise found the eagles of the 13th and 51st regiments. which I forward to England, to be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Rei.ent, by my Aide de Camp, Major Burgh. 1 see, by a letter from General lialliatClOS to Lieutenant General Sir Rowland Hill, of the 29th July, that he had been in , Malaga on the 14th of that month, after an engagement with General Laval, near Coin. General Ballasieios was at Grazelena on the 29th. I have a letter from Lieutenant General Sir Rowland Hill, of the Bth instant: and although General Drouet had been in movement for three days, it dots not appear that his movements are of any importance. I enclose returns of the killed, wounded, and missing, in the affair of Majalahonda, on the 11th instant, and of the loss in the attack of the works of the Retiro. A id.de-Camp Major Burgh , This dispatch will be delivered by my who will be able to explain any farther circumstances relating to our I:Ii•
