Major Burgh, Aid-de-camp to the Marc nis of Wellington, has .this day arrived at Lord ,Ba thurst's. office with dispatches addressed to ',his Lordship by Lord 'Wellington, dated Madrid,- the I3th and 15th ultimo, of which the following are extracts. Madrid, Aunt 13. Having found that the, army under Marshal mont continued their retreat upon Burgos, in a state not • likely to take the field again for some time, I determined to bring Joseph Buonaparte to a general action, or force him to quit Madrid. Accordingly I nio;ed from Cuellar on the Rh instant. We arrived at Segovia on the 7th, and at St. Ildefonso on the Bth, where I halted one day, to allow the right of the army more thue to come up. No opposition 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 Le gion, and Captain M`Donalci:s troop of horse artillery, bad been through the Guadarama pass since the 9th Ile moved forward on the morning of the l'ltb from the neighbourhood ocCialapagas, and supported by the heavy cavalry of the King's German Legion .from Torrelodones, he drove in the French cavalry, about two thousand in num ber, and placed himself at Majalahonda, with the Portuguese cavalry and Captain M'Donald's troop, and the cavalry - and light infantry of the King's. German Legion at Las Royas, 'about three quar ters of a mile distant. • The enemy's cavalry which had been driven off in the morning, and had moved towards Naval Carnero, returned about five in the afternoon, and Brigadier-General D'Urban having for Med the Portuguese cavalry in front of Majalahonda, sup ported by the horse artillery, ordered the cavalry to charge the enemy's , leading squadrons, which appeared too far advanced to be supported by their main body. The Portuguese cavalry ad- , vanced to the attack, but unfortunately turned about before they reached the enemy ; and they fled through the village of Majalabonda, and back upon the German dragoons ; leaving behind them unprotected and unsupported, those guns of Cap tain Macdonald's troop, which had been moved, forward to co-operate, with the cavalry. By the activity of the officers and soldiers of Captain Macdonald's troop, the guns were, however, moved off; but ' owing to . the . unfavourable nature of the ground over which they were moved, the carriage of one was broken, and wo others were overturned ; and /these three guns fell into the enemy's hands. The Portugueie dragoons having fled through Majalahonda, were rallied and reformed npon the heavy, dragoons of the King's German Legion, which were formed between that village and'Las Royas. The German cavalry charged the enemy, although under many disadvantages and stopped their further progress ; but I am sorry to say, that they suffered considerable loss, and that Colonel Jonqucires, who commanded the brigade, was taken prisoner. The left of the arm y was about two miles and a half dist an t, a t the Puente de Ratamar on the Guadarama River, and, Colonel Pousonby's brigade or' cavalry and a.brigade of in fantry of the 7th division having moved forward to the support of the troops in advance, the enemy retired upon Majalahonda as soon as they ob-, served these troops, and night having come on, they retired upon Alcorcon, leaving our gaps. at Majalahonda. I am happy to report that the officers of the Portuguese cavalry behaVed remarkably Well.; and spewed a good example to their men, par ticularly the Viseonde de Barbacenn, who was taken prisoner. The'conduct of the brave Ger man cavalry, was I understand, excellent, as was that of Captain M‘Donafts troop of horse : ar tillery. The light infantry battalion was not en gaged. The army.moVed forward yesterday morning, and its left took possession of the city of Madrid, Joseph Buonaparte having retired with the army of the centre by the roads of Toledo and Aran - • juez, leaving a garrison in the Retiro. It is impossible to - describe the joy manifested by the inhabitants of Madrid upon our arrival; and I hope that the prevalence Of the same senti ments of detestation of the French yoke; and of a strong desire to secure the independence of their country, which first induced -t'llem to set the ex ample of resistance to 'the Ilourper, will induce them to make exertions in the cause of their coun try, which will be more effiiacious than those for merly.made. . I have not yet heard that 4storga has fallen ; but the garrison which the enemy left in Torde— sillas, about two hundred and sixty in number, surrendered to General Santocildes on the sth .instant. • I have received no further reports of the sitim-. tion bf General Ballasteros since the 21st of July: I haveletters from Generahroseph O'Donnell and Gen. Roche of the 26th July; and the army of Murcia, under the command of the former, %via j itefer.fNk 4 - on the list it appears that the Spanish troop s moved fOrward to attack Gen'. D'ilaii3Aie's posts at Castalla and at those ivideh attacked the former were re puked with thr.foSs of two thousand men and two pieces of cannon those which attacked th,C • under the command of General Roche, con ducted themselves remarkably well, and covered the retreat of the troops under Gen, O'Donnell, and afterwards effected their own retreat, in g9od order to Alicante. • . Madrid, Aug. 15, 1812. have the pleasure to inform your Lordship, that the garrison of the lletiro surrendered by Ca pitilation yesterday ; and I .have now the honour to inclose a translation of the capitulation. We invested the place completely on the even ing of the 13th ; and in the night detachments of the,7th division of infantry, under the commann of-Major-Gen. Hope, and of the '3d divislon of infantry, under the,' command of Major-General the Hon. E. Pakenham, drove in the enemy's posts from 'the Prado - and the Botanical Garden ; and the works which they had constructed outside of the park-wall ; and having broken through the wall in different places, they were established in the palace . of the Retiro, and close to the exterior of the enemy's works, inclosing the building call ed La China. The troops were preparing in the morning to attack those works, preparatory to the arrange ments to be adopted for the attack of the interior line and building, when the Governor sent out axi Officer to desire to capitulate, and I granted him the honours of war, the baggage of the officers and soldiers of the garrison, &c. as specified in the en closed agreement. •1 inclose a return of the strength of the garri son, which marched out yesterday at fOur o'clock, on their road to Ciudad Rodrigo. 'We have found in the place 189 pieces of brass ordnance, in• ex cellent condition ; nine hundred barrels ,of pow der ; twenty thousand stand of arms ; and consi derable 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 . hiss Royal Highness the Prince. Regent; by my Aide-de-camp, Major Burgh. I see, by a letter from Gen. BallasteroS:to tenant-General Sir Rowland Hill, of the 29th -Tilly, that he had been in Malaga on the 14th of that month, after an engAgement with General Laval, near Coin. Gen. Ballasteros Was at Grazelena on the 29th. I have a letter from Lientenant-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill of the Bth inst. ; arid although Gen. _Monet had been in movement for three days, it does not appear that his movements are of any importance. I inclose returns of the killed, wounded, and missing, 'in the affair at Majalahonda, 6n the-11th inst. and of the loss jti the attack of the works of the, .etiro. This 'dispatch will be delivered by my Aid-de- Camp, Major Burgh, who will be able to explain any further circumstances relating to our situa tion ; and beg leave to recommend him to your Lo;dship's protection. P. S. Since. writing this dispatch, I have re ceivetl a letter of the 10th instant, from General Maitland, from Alicante in which that officer informs use that be had on that day landed at that place.
