from lient gen. lord t'iscount Wellington, ss

si and Ordenanza were employed upon their
ssﬂanks and rear; and cut. 'l'rant, with his

were euliected on the other side of the ri

thro' the Sicrra Busacu, with the exception
of 3 squadrons, as the ground was unfavor
able for the operations of the army.
On the 251h, the whole of the 61h and

reached the ridge Ql the Sietra.
On the left, the enemy attacked with three
divisions of infantry ot'the Gth corps, that part
of the Sierra occuPied by the left division,
commanded by brigadier general Crsin'vsoru.
and by the bt'isi-jade l'ortugucse int'antry com
manded by brigadier general Peck. Une di
vision osinl'untry only made any progress to
wards the top of the hill, and they were im
mediately charged with the bavonet by brig.

regiments, and the Sd Portuguese Cacadore't
and driven down withct immense loss. Brig
general Llemun's brigade o: Portuguese in
santrymlovcd up to support the right of brig.
General Crawford's division, and a batta
lion of the thh Porluguese regiment under
the command of lieutenant coioncl Macbean,
made a gallant and successful charge upon a
body of another division of the enemy, which
was endeavoring tosipenctrate in that quarter
Besides these attacks, the light troops of
the two armies were engaged throughout the
271h. The loss sustained by the enemy in
this attack has been enormous- The enemy
lelt 2000 killed upon the field of battle, and I
understand from the prisoners and deserters
that the loss in woundei is immense. The
enemy did not renew lus attack, excepting by
the fire of his light troops, on the 28th, but
he moved & lame bOdY Os inlantry and cavalry
from the left of his centre to the reur, from
which I saw his cavulry in march on the load
which leads srom Mortagoa over the moun
tains towards Oporto.
Having thought it probable that he would
endeavor to turn our lest by the mad, I'had
directed colonelss Trant, with his division of
militia. to march to Sarddo, with the intention
that he should occupy those mountains, but
unsortunatcly he was sent round by Ossporto by
the general officer commanding in the North,
in consequence of a small detachmcnt of the
enemy being in possession of St. Pedro de
Sal ; and notwithstanding the efforts which he
made to arrive in time, he did not reach Sur
dao till the 28th .at night, after the enemy
was in possession of the ground.
As it was probable thatin the course of the
night of the 28th the enemy would throw hisI
whole army upon the road by which he could
avoid the Sierra de Busaco and reach Coimbra
by the high road to Oporto, and thus the
army would have been exposed to he eat oﬀ
