TUESDAY'S LONDON GAZETTE. DOWNING -STREET. FEB. 26, 1811. A Dispatch. of which the following is an extract, has been this znorninjtreeeived at the Earl of Liverpool's office, addressed to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General Viscount Wellington, dated Cartno, Bth of February. The enemy have coutinued in the neighbourhood of Badajoz, and have broke ground before the place on the left of the Gua diana, and have tiiroven some shells intc, the town. The bad weather, however, has obliged them to draw in the greatest part of their cavairy from the ground between Badajoz and Elves ; ' and the communication has been re-established. General Mendizabel sent orders to General Venies to adiance, v4hich measure I had before recommended to him ; znd Gen. ?vfendizabel himself met the troops at Elvas on the morning of the etti instant ; they marched on and passed the Cava; and the inr:::ttry entered Badajoz and the Fort of Christoval, on the right ei the t_latadiana, on the afternoon of the 6th. The French cal; ..lry retired, and passed the Evora, and were pursued some this:: ice by the Spanish cavalry, and a brigade of Portuguese cavalry, under Brigadier-General Madden, who took some cat tle. baggage. Stc. ; but the attack, if any vas intended to be male, upon the French troops on the left of the Guadiana was *deferred till the following day. I have received from Gen. Ballasteros a letter dated the (27th .of .I:inuary, from which it appears, that this action of the 25th :vac very well contested; and the loss of the enemy, who was much superior in numbers, was two thousand men killed and wounded ; and that the retrc:►t of the Spanish detachment was nude is good order. by thelait accounts front the frontiers of Beira it appears, that a part of Claparede's division of the 9th corps was still at Guarda on the 4th inst. with an advanced guard upon BiArnonte. This was the position he was ordered to take on the sth of January, by General Vrouet, referred to in in/ dispatch of the itlth utt. General Foii arrived at Salamanca from Paris, with letters for Mitesena, on the lath January, and I imagine th:t yeiter day reached the head-quarters of the army. He Lad with him an escort Of between two and three thon4at d men. Colonel Grant, who commands the Oreenerza in Lower Beim, had followed to the neighbourhood of Sobuzid the detachment which escorted the couriers which marched from the Zezere on the 22d of January, and had taken much baggage from them .several prisoners. On his return he attached Gen. Foix's eicort, with a fresh detachment of Ordenenza, at rnx:.h.irtia, at t:ie entrance of Estrada Nova ; and I enclose his report of the instant on this affair, and an extract 'of his report ~ f the 4th instant to Marshal Sir Wm. Bettsford, and the Marshal's letter to me. I hear from the enemy's head-quarters that they stare they lost sa) men in this affair. I here has been no movementofany importance in the enemy's army since I addresied your Lordship. 141 • only terminated by the tgl t ; the rt :.ult was >f a killed on the road, a very considerable number wounded, and It) prisoner;; several of the wounded were found dead this morning, from the extreme inclemency of the weather. Several. carts with grain, and a considerable number of bullocks, were also taken ; and, having stilt parties to annoy their front and rear, I have reams to think th?y must suffer considerably were they to quit the Es trada Nova. We lost enly one man, with a few nurses wounded, amongst thcna my own. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) J. GRAN T, Col.aUrban, &c. &c. &c. • Extract of a Letter from Lieut.-Col. Grant to Col. D'Urbatt, dated Fund. o, Feb. 4, 1811. Have the goodness to state to his Excellency the Marsha!, that the result of the affair of the Ist inst. near Eniabarda, has been more complete than at first .stated, 207 of the enemy having been found dead on the 2d, in the space of four leagues, a number of whom died in cousecluence of their wounds, and the inclemency of the weather. Eighteen prisoners are also in my power, and four Englishmen who had entered the French service, in the Irish Legion, to effect their escape, having been live years prisoners ; one of them is of the 30th regiment, the others had been sailors. I have also to state that the Colonel of the 70th regiment (French,) also the Quarter-Master, were found among the dead. The enemy lost the greatest part of their baggage and cattle. 1 transmit some of their papers and letters. BANKRUPTS. William Philips, of Liverpool, broker.

MT Loap- T i have the, 'honour to transmit to your Lordship the report of Lieutenant-Colonel Grant, whom some time since I sent to superintend and command the Ordenenza on theirontier of Lowerßeira,and towards Guarda. The force of th e enemy, dif ferently stated, appears to havebeen between two acid ihreethhu- Sand, and was under the orders of Geti. Foix, and apparently to serve as his escort to' enable him to join Marshal hlassena.— Lictstenant-Colonel Grant took post at Enxabarda, near the commencement of Estrada Nova, coming from towards Fundao, and under which the enemy was obliged to pass. The success of Lieutenant-Colonel Grant, and the loss of the enemy, have been mileh greater than either the number of men that the Lieu tenant-Colonel !rad with him, or than circumstances would have given reason to lo 3:t for, and will give great animation , _ , 11,1 en couragement to this nature of warfare all ,over that part of the country. The people engaged have got ve7y considerable boi,ty, as there is no French soldier that 1,14 not much of what he has pillaged about him; and- he is always a good prize for his captor. I have, &c. W.
