The Nonpariel schooner arrived on Tuesday at Plymouth, with the official details of the defeat of the enemy at Almaraz, by Sir Row Lawn HILL, of which we were previously informed by the Lisbon Papers. Major CURRIE, who was the bearer of these dispatches,.and who is said to have brought a French Eagle. captured by General HILL, arrived in town yesterday afternoon, when the substance of the com munication was transmitted by the Secretary at War to the LORD MAYOR, by an Official Bulletin; and this forenoon the particulars were given in tho fol lowing GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. wAlt DEPARTMENT. Downing-Wed, June. 17, 1812. Major Currie, Aid-de-Camp to Lieutenant-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill, arrived this evening at Lord Bathurst's Office with a dispatch, of which the fol lowing is an extract, addressed to the Earl of Liver pool by General the Earl of Wellington, dated Fuente Guinaldo, 28th May, 1812. When I found the enemy had retired from this frontier, on the 25th of April, I directed Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill to carry into execution the opera tions against the enemy's posts and establishments at the passage of the Tagus, at Almaraz. Owing to the necessary preparation for this expe dition Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill could not begin his march, with part of the 2d division of infantry, till the 12th instant, and he attained the objects of his expedition on the 19th, by taking by storm Forts Napoleon and Ragusa, and the fetes-duvont and other works, by which the enemy's bridge was guard ed, by destroying those forts and works, and the ene my's bridge and establishments, and by taking their magazines and two hundred and fifty-nine prisoners, and eighteen pieces of cannon. I have the honour to enclose Lieut. Gen. Sir Row land 11111's report of this brilliant exploit ; and I beg to draw your Lordship's attention to the difficulties with which he had to contend, as well from the na ture of the country, as from the works which the ! enemy had constructed, and to the ability and the characteristic qualities displayed by Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland 11111 in persevering in the line, and con fining himself to the objects chalked out by his in structions, notwithstanding the various obstacles op posed to his progress. I have nothing to add to Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland llill's report of the conduct of the officers and troops under his command, excepting to express my con currence in all he says in their praise. Too much cannot be said of the brave officers and troops who took by storm, without the assistance of cannon, such works as the enemy's forts on both banks of the Taus, fully garrisoned, in good order, and defended by 18 pieces of artillery. Your Lordship is aware that the road of Almaraz affords the only good military communication across the Tagus, and from the Tagus to the Guadiana, be low Toledo. AU the permanent bridges below the bridge of Arzobispo have been destroyed during the war, by one or other of the belligerents, and the enemy have found it impossible to repair them. Their bridge, which Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill has de stroyed, was one of boats; and 1 doubt their having the means of replacing it. The communications from the bridges of Arzobispo and Talavera to the Guadi ana, are very difficult, and cannot be deemed mili tary communications for a large prmy. The result then of Lieut.-Gen. Hill's expedition, has been to rut off the shortest and best communication between the armies of the South and of Portugal. Nearly about the time that the enemy's troops, ' reported in my last dispatch to have moved into the Condado de Niebla, marched from Seville, it is re ported that another considerable detachment under Marshal Soult went towards the blockade of Cadiz, and it was expected that another attack was to be made upon Tarifa. It appears, however, that the enemy received early intelligence of Sir Rowland Hill's march. The troops under the command of General Drouet made a movement to their left, and arrived upon the Gua diana at Medellin on the 17th inst. ; and on the 18th a detachment of the cavalry under the command of the same General drove in, as far as Ribera, the picquets of Lieutenant-General Sir Wm. Erskine's division of cavalry which had remained in Lower • , Estramadtnai with a part of the td division of in fautry, and Lieutenant-General Ilatnikotes division of infantry. Marshal Soult likewise moved from the blockade of Cadiz towards Cordova.; and the troops whieb.had marched from Seville into the Con dado de Niebla, returned to Seville nearly about the lute time; but Lieutenant-General Sir lowland , 1.1 • ..7; • • grATEgMAN._ Rie h a d a tt a ined his object on the 19tit, and bad re- they had in the operation and the zeal which they turned to Truxillo, and was beyond all risk of being displayed, entitles them to my warmest commends - attacked by a superior force on the 21st.

I have received the greatest assistance from Lieut.- Colonel Dickson, of the Royal Artillery, whom, kith a brigade of ' twenty-four-pounders, a company of British and one of Portuguese artillery, your Lordship was pleased to put under my orders ; cir cumstances did not permit his guns being brought into play; but his exertions, and those of his Officers and men during the attack and clestroction of the place, were unwearied. In the latter service Lieut. Thiele, of the Royal German Artillery, was blown up; and we have to regret in him a most gallant Officer; he had particularly distinguished himself in the assault. Lieut. Wright, of the Royal Engineers, has also rendered me Very essential service; he is a most in telligent, gallant, and meritorious Officer; and I must not omit also to mention Lieut. Hillier, of the 29th regiment, whose knowledge of this part of the country proved of great assistance. Your Lordship will observe, from the return of ordnance and stores which I have the honour to en- close, that Almaraz has been considered by the ene my in the light of a most important station; and I am happy to state that its destruction has been most complete. The towers of masonry which were in Forts Napoleon and Ragusa have been entirely le velled; the ramparts of both in great measure de-. stroyed; and thew hole apparatus of the bridge, to gether with the work-shops, magazines, and every piece of- timber which could be found, entirely de stroyed. A colour, belonging to the fourth battalion of the corps Estranger, was taken by the 71st regiment, and I shall have the hunour of forwarding it to your Lordship. Our loss has not been severe, considering the cir cumstances under which the attack was made. I en close a list of the killed and wounded. Captain Candler, of the 50th regiment (the only officer killed in the assault), has, I am sorry to say, left a large family to deplore hii loss. lie was one of the first to mount the ladder, and fell upon the parapet, after giving a distinguished example to his men. I have had frequent occasions to mention to your Lordship in terms of the highest praise the conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel Hooke, Assistant Adjutant- General. During the whole period I have had a separate command in this country, that officer has been with me, and rendered most essential' service to my corps; on the present exp4tion he has eminently distinguished himself, and I beg leave particularly to notice his conduct. Your Lordship is also aware of the merits of Lieutenant-Colonel Offeney, my As sistant Quarter-Master-General, of whose valuable aid I have been deprived during the latter part of this expedition. Thangh labouring under severe ill- ness, he accompanied . me, to the serious detriment of his health, and until it was totally impracticable for him to proceed. Captain Thorn, Deputy-Assistant Quarter-Master-General, succeeded to his duties; and I am indebted to him for his assistance, and alio to Major Ilill and my personal staff. The Marquis de Almeida, Member of the Junta of Estremadura, has done me the honour to accom pany me, since I have heed in the province: I have i received from him, as well as from the people the j most ready and effectual assistance which it was in their power to bestow. • Major Currie, my Aid-deXamp, will deliver to your Lordship this dispatch, and tke colour taken from the enemy, and will be able to give you any further paticulars: I beg fo recommend him - toy your Lordship. I have the honour to be, Sec.. (Signed) R. HILL, Lieut.-Gen. I enclose a return of prisoners, in number two hundred and fifty-nine, including the Governor, one Lieutenant:Colonel, and fifteen Officers. I also transmit a return of provisions in the forts near the bridge, taken from one signed by the Chief of the French Commissariat, on the 18th of May. Truzirlas May SI, 1814. Mr LORD,—I have the satisfaction to acquaint your Lordship, that your instructions relative to the capture and destruction of the enemy's works at Al maraz, have been most fully carried into effect by a detachment of troops under my orders, which match ed from Almendralejo, on the 12th instant. The bridge was, as your Lordship knows, pro tected by strong works thrown up by the French on both sides of the river, and further covered on the southern side by the castle and redoubts of Nlirabete about a league off, commanding the pass of that name, through which runs the road to Madrid, being the only one passable for, carriages of any de scription by which the bridge can be approached. The works on the left bank of the river were a the-du-pont, built of masonry, and strongly en trenched, and on the high ground above it, a large and well-constructed fort, called Napoleon, with an interior intrenchment, and loophooled tower in its centre." This fort contained nine pieces of cannon with a garrison of between four and five hundrej men. There being also on the opposite side of the river, on a height immediately above the bridge, a very complete fort recently constructed, which flank ed and added much to its defence. On the morning of the 16th, the troops reached Jaraicejo, and the same evening marched in three co lumns; the left column, commanded by Lieutenant- General Chow ne (28th and 31th regiments, under Colonel Wilson, and the Gth Portuguese Cacadores), towards the castle of Mirabete; the right column, under Major-General Howard (50th, 71st, and 92d regiments), which I accompanied myself, to a pus iu the mountains, through which a most difficult and circuitous foot-path leads by the village of Reman gordo to the bridge; the centre column, under Ma jor -General Long (6th and 18th Portuguese infantry, under Colonel Ashworth, and 13th light dragoons, with the artillery), advanced upon the high road to the pass of Mirabete. The two flank columns were provided with lad ders, and it was intended that either of them should proceed to escalade the forts against which they were directed, had circumstances proved favourable; the difficulties, however, which each had to encounter on its march were such, that it was impossible for them to reach their respective point; before day break; 1 judged it best, therefore, as there was no longer a possibility of surprise, to defer the attack, until, we should be better acquainted with the. nature and position of the works, and the troops bivouacked on the Leine. I determined on endeavouring to penetrate to the bridge by the mountain path leading through the village of Romangordo, although, by that means, I should be deprived of the use of my artillery. On the evening of the Igth, I moved with Major. General Howard's brigade, and the 6th Portuguese egiment, for the operation, provided with scaling ladders, &c. Although the distance marched did not exceed five or six miles, the difficulties of the road were such, that with the united exertions of officers attd men, the column could not be formed for the at tack before daylight. Confiding, however, in the valour of the troops , I ordered the immediate , assaultl of Fort Napoleon. My confidence was fully justified by the event. The Ist battalion of the 50th, and one wing of the 71st regiment, regardless of the enemy's artil lery and musketry, escaladed the work is three &flees, nearly at the same titre. The enemy seemed at first determined, and his fire was destructive, but the ara dour of our troops was irresistible, and the garrisOu was driven at the point of the bayonet, through the several intrenchments of the fort and tale-du-punt, across the bridge, which having been cut by those on the opposite side of the river, many leaped iuto the river and thus perished. . The impression made upon the enensfs troops was such, that panic soon communicated itself to those on the right bank of the river, and Fort Ra gusa was instantly abandoned, the garrison flying in the greatest confusion towards Naval Moral. I cannot stifficiently praise the conduct of the 150th and 7lst regiments, to witom the assault fell. —The cool and steady manner in which they formed and advanced, and the intrepidity with which they mounted the ladders, and carried the place, was wotthy of those distinguished corps, and the officers who led them. Could the attack have been made before day, the ced regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Cameron, and the remainder of the 71st regiment, under the Honourable Lieutenant-Colonel Crulogan, were to have escaladed the tote-da-pont, and effected the destruction of the bridge; at the same time that the attack was made ou Fort Napoleon.

TON had lately shown no indications of again moving to the South. Ills head-quarters on the 31st ult. were at Fuentes de Guinaldo. The prisoners taken by General Mu., at Almaraz, had arrived at Bads jos on their way to Lisbon. It was reported that Sir RowLAND had been successful in another excur sion against the castle of Muavite; but it is added, that this requires confirmation. By a vessel arrived at Vign, the dreadful and at. flicting intelligence of an earthquake in South Arne. rica is confirmed, and the number of lives lost in the different provinces, is estimated at no lest than 50,000 !

Yesterday afternoon a great bustle prevailed at the Admiralty, in dispatching Messengers. An es. press was sent off to Falmouth, and Mr. Ccirre, the Messenger, was ordered to proceed, with all possible haste, to Plymouth, with dispatches for the PortAd• mire!. About a fortnight ago the boats of the Medusa entered the Bay of Acachon, and cut out a French armed ship, having on board the frame of a 74 gen. ithip, and in bringing her out she unfortunately grounded.
