Lordship by General Vis ,c, Wellington, dated Freneda, 23d and anth of 06tober, 1811. Frened4o6t: The enterprize of Don Julian Sanchez to carry off the cattle from Ciudad Rodrigo, adverted to in my last dispatch, was very well condueited and very successful. 'During the night of the 14th, he post ed his troops near the places at which he had been informed that the cattle from . the - garrison were usually brought to graze in- the , morning, and he expected that they would come to the ground on the left .bank of the Agueda, between the, hills on the El Bodon road and the fort, aid he,placed.two detachments of cavalry behind these hills. The Governor, General Regnaald, bad come out'ot the fort and . aeross the Agueda, attended by some Staff Officers, and escorted by a part% of about twenty cavalry ; and be was smrounded by Don Julian's detachments as soon as he entered the hills, and was taken with two of t,is escort nnder the fire of the suns of the Place.

A detachment of the army of the North which bad crossed the Tormes - with a view to plunder the country between that river std ches t have returned to their cantonments w:r!iout (lerivitig much advantage from this expe dition. I have directed General -Hill to endeavour to force.

All the strong holds of Va lencia were occupied, and the greatest efforts were niftking to bring a large force into that kingdom, in order to annoy the enemy's communications with his rear.

In the course of the afternoon of yesterday a zet te Extraordinary was published, containing Mr. StEWART'S account of 'the brilliant achievement of General Hi LL, and also a Dispatch from Lord WEL-:' LINdTON. It appears' that the French Commander wass-completely out-generailed and surprised, and there is every reason to expea that the greater part. of his corps will be destroyed or made prisoners. In addition to thelgls'derailed in the Gaiette Ex traordinary, we learn from private letters, that Ge neral HILL . pursued the French to Merida, and de stroyed the extensive mitgazines of that' place, the enemy having quitted it. . The Dispatches of Lord WELLINbTON cent:tin very gratifying,intelligence t the eDterprize of Don. JULIAN SANCHEZ, was planned with skill and,:ex ecuted with promptitude and bravery. It is cal , culated to produce a strong effect in Spain; ,and to give..animation to the almost innumerable, corp s which in every , part of that kingdom are. stru t ;, gling against the common enemy.

Nothiq positive is knos.vn 'as yarespecting 'the mo, rives of this hasty retreat, which was tbelkss expeet ed, as the,enemy had been very busy in the preceding clays in building huts in their position, and thus ay. ; punted to be preparing' for the rainy season. 'But whatever these motive; might have been, General. BA.t.t.AsTanos, ever, alert, and now happy in the prospect of being able to. harass a division whose .decided superiority had rendered it impossible for him to meet it in the field, immediately set 'out in pursuit of it, and leaving ttis infantry at Paint Roch, which exhibited the most 'melancholy scene. of devastation, marched on with his cavalry and light troops, and on the next morning overtook at Ximena the enemy's rear guard. It consist ed of three battalions and ten companies of' Volti, geurs; Unawed however by such numbers, Gen.
