Since I had the honour of addressing you on the 29th Jul.y the enemy have continued to keep a rear guard of about 10,000 men on the heights on the left of the Alberche. The extreme fatigue of the troops, the want of provisions, and the numbers of wounded to he taken care of, have prevented one from moving from toy position. Brigadier-General Crau ford arrived with his brigade on the 29th in the morning, hav ing marched In dive Spanish leagues in little s;tiolv than 24 hours. Extract of a letter from Lieut.-t eneral Sir Arthur Wellesley Lord Viscount Castlereagh, dated Talavera, Aug. 1, 1809. When I addressed you this morning, I had not received the report from the out po,ts. It appe4.tis that the enemy withdrew the rear guard, which was posted on the heights os the left of the Alherche last night nt eleven o'clock, and the whole army marched towards Sty►. Olalla; I conclude with an intention of taking up a position in the neighbourhood of Guadarama. The following is an abstract of the total loss of the re spective regiments (including officers, non-cominissioned officers and privates), in killed, wounded and missing, in the battles of Talavera : General Stuff 14 3d Dragoon Guards - 3 4th Dragoons 12 14th Light Dragoons 16 16th Light Dragoons 14 23d Light Dragoons 207 Ist Light Drag .

This reinforeenient, y‘hich amuuntg, we believe to about 3500 men, milst have proved a fortunate accessio.o of iitreng,th at such a juncture. Reiaforcemcnts are immediately to be sent out to Ihr heroic army of Sir Arthur Wellesley. Two or three bri gades of cavalry wilLbe sent, some artillery,, a reinforce ment of the Royal Waggon Train, a brio& of foul guardl, and recruits for all the regiments ui the line in Spain. The Portuguese Legion, under the command of Sir 140. Bert %% ikon, as was mentioned in Sir Arthur Welleslev'A last dispatches, was stationed arEsralona during the battle of Talavera. Escalona is situated on the right wing, coc, siderably in the rear of the French army, and only filleen :ennui from Madrid. The march of the Legion fi on-% Placentia .to Escalona was conducted at the rate of thirty English wiles a day. it had hem previously settled by Sir Arthur Wellesley, that if the trench fought. Sir H. Wil son was to attack their flank and rear; that if they retreat ed, his Legion was to form the advanced guard of the British army. Th e latter part of the plan will probably even now be carried into exceution. We learn, with infinite satisfaction, that a subscription is about to he instituted for the relict . of the widows and children of the British heroes who so gloriously fell in the ever memorable battle of Telavara.
