THE NATIONAL REGISTER. advantage. Our artillery was as good as their's was bad, not a man being. wounded on our side by a cannon-ball. After an hour's firing we became impatient of suffering it, and I ordered Don Pablu Murillo to charge them on their right flank, whilst I ad vanced in front w ith the three othereolumns. The enemy twice 'took up positions, and were as often dislodged. The unevenness of the ground favoured their escape; in effecting which the). shamefully blew up two ammunition chests; two others, with two of clothing, upwards of six hundred muskets, and some horses and other article., which I have not yet examined, fell into our hands. Murillo entered the city, and pursued the enemy through the streets to the distance of more than a league from hence. lam not "et informed of the number of slain, nor of that of the prlsaner6, of a horn there are many. The General Maquiaii, has been severely wounded by two musket shot; the Second in Comm:Lad was killed in the held, whose insignia have been brought to mt by the soldiers. Our loss has been trilling ; the troops are in high .ipirits, and I may expect much from them. I am, &c. MARTIN DE LA CARRERA. Captain M`Kinley, Commander of the British Ships, at Vigo.

TIM EXPEDITION. Admiral Lord Gardner has struck his flag on board the gritomart, at Yarmouth, preparatory to his taking a com mand in the secret expedition. At Chatham, Portsmouth, Deal, Ramsgate, Canterbury, and Harwich, the most active exertions are making to fit (tut the grand expedition. Re port again busily states, that more than one expedition will start, and at one time, and the circumstances mentioned to us make it probable. Lord Chatham will certainly-com mand one, and Sir John Hope another ; and it is said that it is not improbable but that there may be a third, with which the Marquis of Huntley will go, and Lord Cochrane will have the. naval command of it. The name of Sir Samuel Hood is added to the list of naval heroes who will go with the Expedition now starting.—As all the ships cannot be ready for the reception of troops before the 12th instant, no embarkation will commence t)ll after that, day. It is now reported that the grand expedition will not start so soon as first intended. Sir Eyre Coote and Lieutenant- General M‘lienzie Frazer have both arrived in town front Portsmouth ; and it is said that Lord Chatham does not elave town fora week. The Marquistf Huntley goes with his regiment (the 42(1), and the Highlani brigade, from the Downs. The Commissarial Department in the preseht service will be select, and well filled up, and distinguished for local mercantile knowledge, being masters of the laa gaa„cre of the country they go to. Not less than five hun dred sail, including transports; are to be employed in this important enterprize, which considered either with; refer ence to the amount of force to be employed, or . the na ture of the object, is conceived to be of much more cop. sequence than any expedition that has ever been dispatch ed from this country. It was not fixed yesterday whetlier the naval force should be under the command of Sir- R. Struchan, Sir T. Duckworth, or Sir R. Bickerton.. The former was originally destined for the command, but sope differences are said have arisen in consequence of the re fusal of the Admiralty to make some appointments StiliCh he strongly recommended, and which he stated to be irk terial to the success of the expedition.
