GRIEF.
PERFECT grief shuns ostentation as sedulously as genuine piety. The wan eye of sorrow loves to gaze on its sacred hoard of treasured woe; but never sounds a trumpet before it in the streets. A true child of affliction wrote the following lines:
Come smiles, come gay attire, and hide, The anguish rankling in my breast; I'll lay my sable garb aside, And seem to cold enquirers blest. Yes—I will happy triflers join, As when grief's dart beside me flew, And peace and all its joys were mine, And sorrow but by name I knew. Ere death had seal'd the cruel doom. And call'd thee, ***, to the tomb, Hard was the stroke, but oh! I hate The sacred pomp of grief to shew; Thron'd in my breast, in secret state, Shall live the rev'rend form of woe; For observation would degrade The homage to her empire paid. I hate the tear which pity gives; I'm jealous of her curious eye: The only balm my heart receives Is from my own unheeded sigh. When veil'd in night, to sleep a foe, I bend before the throne of woe, A face of smiles, a heart of tears; So in the church-yard realm of death, This teif increasing verdure wears, While all is pale and dead beneath.
From the London Gazette Extraordinary.
DOWNING-STREET, Aug. 18 Despatches of which the following are copies and extracts, were this day received at the office of lord viscount Castlereagh one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state, from lieut. general the right hon. sir Arthur Wellesley, K. B. dated Talavera, July 29.
Talavera de la Reyna, July 29.
My Lord,
General Cuesta followed the enemy's march with his army from the Alberche on the morning of the 24th, and as far as Santa Olalla, and pushed forward his advanced guard as far as Torrijos.
For the reasons stated to your lordship in my despatch of the 24th, I moved only two divisions of infantry and a brigade of cavalry across the Alberche to Cassalegos, under the command of lieut. general Sherbrooke, between gen. Cuesta and me, and with Sir R. Wilson's corps at Escalona.
It appears that gen. Venegas had not carried into execution that part of the plan of operations which related to his corps, and that he was still at Daniel, in La Mancha; and the enemy in the course of the 24th, 25th and 26th, collected all his forces in this part of Spain, between Torrijos and Toledo, leaving but a small corps of 2000 men in that place.
His united army thus consisted of the corps of marshal Victor, of that of general Sebastiani, and of 7 or 8000 men, the guards of Joseph Bonaparte, and the garrison of Madrid, and it was commanded by Joseph Bonaparte, aided by marshals Victor, Jourdan, and gen. Sebastiani.
On the 26th, gen. Cuesta's advanced guard was attacked near Torrijos, and obliged to fall back, and the gen. retired with his army on that day to the left bank of the Alberche; gen. Sherbrooke continued at Cassalegos, and the enemy at Santa Olalla.
It was then obvious that the enemy intended to try the result of a general battle, for which the best position appeared to be in the neighborhood of Talavera; and gen. Cuesta having consented to take up this position on the morning of the 27th, I ordered gen. Sherbrooke to retire with his corps to its station in the line, leaving gen. Mackenzie with a division of infantry and a brigade of cavalry, as an advanced post in the wood, on the right of Alberche, which covered our left flank.
The position taken up by the troops at Talavera extended more than two miles; the ground was open upon the left, where the British army was stationed, and it was commanded by a height, on which was, in echelon and in second line, a division of infantry, under the order of major general Hill.
There was a valley between this height and a range of mountains still further upon the left, which valley was not at first occupied, as it was commanded by the height
before mentioned; and the range of mountains appeared too distant to have any influence upon the expected action.
The right, consisting of Spanish troops, extended immediately in front of the town of Talavera down to the Tagus. This part of the ground was covered by olive trees, and much intersected by banks and ditches. The high road leading from the bridge over the Alberche, was defended by a heavy battery in front of a church, which was occupied by Spanish infantry. All the avenues to the tower were defended in a similar manner: the town was occupied, and the remainder of the Spanish infantry was formed in two lines, behind the banks on the roads which led from the town and the right, to the left of our position.
In the centre between the two armies, there was a commanding spot of ground, on which we had commenced to construct in its rear.
Brigadier general Alexander Campbell was posted at this spot with a division of infantry, supported in his rear by general Cotton's brigade of dragoons, and some Spanish cavalry.
About two o'clock on the 27th, the enemy appeared in strength on the left bank of the Alberche, and manifested an intention to attack gen. Mackenzie's division.
The attack was made before they could be withdrawn; but the troops consisting of gen. Mackenzie's and col. Donkin's brigades, and gen. Anson's brigade of cavalry, and supported by gen. Payne with the other four regiments of cavalry, in the plain between Talavera and the wood, withdrew in good order, but with some loss, particularly by the 2d battalion 67th regiment, and 2d battalion 81st regiment in the wood.
Upon this occasion the steadiness and discipline of the 45th regiment, and of the 5th battalion 60th regiment were conspicuous; and I had particular reason for being satisfied with the manner in which major general Mackenzie withdrew his advanced guard.
As the day advanced the enemy appeared in larger numbers on the right of the Alberche, and it was obvious that he was advancing to a general attack upon the combined army.
General M'Kenzie continued to fall back gradually upon the left of the position of the combined armies, where he was placed in the second line, in the rear of the guards, colonel Donkin being placed in the same situation further upon the left of the position of the combined armies, where he was placed in the rear of the king's German Legion.
The enemy immediately commenced his attack in the dusk of the evening, by a cannonade upon the left of our position, and by an attempt with his cavalry to overthrow the Spanish infantry, posted as I have before stated on the right. This attempt failed entirely.
Early in the night he pushed a division along the valley on the left of the height occupied by general Hill, of which he gained a momentary possession, but major general Hill attacked it instantly with the bayonet and regained it.
This attack was repeated in the night, but failed, and again at day-light in the morning of the 28th, by two divisions of infantry, and was repulsed by major general Hill.
Major-general Hill has reported to me in a particular manner, the conduct of the 29th regiment; and of the first battalion 48th regiment, in these different affairs, as well as that of major-general Tilson and brigadier-general Richard Stewart.
We have lost many brave officers and soldiers in the defence of this important point in our position, among others I cannot avoid to mention brigade-major Gardner, and major-general Hill, was himself wounded, but I am happy to say but slightly.
The defeat of this attack was followed about noon, by a general attack with the enemy's whole force upon the whole of that part of the position occupied by the British army.
In consequence of the repeated attempts upon the heights on our left by the valley, I had placed two brigades of British cavalry in that valley, supported in the rear by the Duc d'Albuquerque's division of Spanish cavalry.
The enemy then placed light infantry in the range of mountains on the left of the valley, which were opposed by a division of Spanish infantry, under lieut. gen. De Bassecourt.
The general attack began by the march of several columns of infantry into the valley with a view to attack the height occupied by major general Hill. These columns were immediately charged by the first German light dragoons, and 23d dragoons under the command of general Anson, directed by lieut. gen. Payne, and supported by gen. Fane's brigade of heavy cavalry; and although the 23d dragoons suffered considerable loss, the charge had the effect of
preventing the execution of that part of the enemy's plan.
At the same time he directed an attack upon brig. gen. Alexander Campbell's position in the centre of the combined armies, and on the right of the British.
This attack was most successfully repulsed by brig. gen. Campbell, supported by the king's regiment of Spanish cavalry, and two battalions of Spanish infantry; and Brig. gen. Campbell took the enemy's cannon.
The brigadier general mentions particularly the conduct of the 97th, the 2d battalion 7th, and of the 2d battalion 53d reg'ts. and I was highly satisfied with the manner in which this part of the position was defended.
An attack was also made at the same time upon lt. gen. Sherbrooke's division, which was on the left and centre of the first line of the British army.
This attack was most gallantly repulsed by a charge with bayonets, of the whole division; but the brigade of Guards, which were on the right, having advanced too far, they were exposed on their left flank to the fire of the enemy's battery, and of their retiring columns; and the division was obliged to retire towards the original position, under cover of the 2d line of gen. Cotton's brigade of cavalry, which I had moved from the centre, and of the 1st battalion 48th regiment.
I had moved this regiment from its original position on the heights, as soon as I observed the advance of the guards, and it was formed in the plain, advanced upon the enemy, and covered the formation of lieut. gen. Sherbrooke's division.
Shortly after the repulse of this general attack, in which apparently all the enemy's troops were employed, he commenced his retreat across the Alberche, which was conducted in the most regular order, and was effected during the night, leaving in our hands twenty pieces of cannon, ammunition, tumbrils, and some prisoners.
Your lordship will observe by the enclosed return the great loss which we have sustained of valuable officers and soldiers in this long and hard fought action, against more than double our numbers. Loss of the enemy has been much greater. I am informed that entire brigades of infantry have been destroyed; indeed the battalions that retreated were much reduced in numbers. By all accounts their loss is 10,000 men. Generals Lapisse and Morlot are killed; Generals Sebastiani and Boulet are wounded.
I have particularly to lament the loss of Major General Mackenzie, who had distinguished himself on the 27th; and of Brigadier General Langwerth, of the king's German Legion; and of Brigade Major Beckett of the guards.
Your lordship will observe, that the attacks of the enemy were principally, if not entirely, directed against the British troops. The Spanish commander in chief, his officers and troops, manifested every disposition to render us assistance, and those of them which were engaged did their duty; but the ground which they occupied was so important, and its front at the same time so difficult, that I did not think it proper to urge them to make any movement on the left of the enemy while he was engaged with us.
I have reason to be satisfied with the conduct of all the officers and troops. I am much indebted to Lieut. Gen. Sherbrooke for the assistance I received from him, and the manner in which he led on his division to the charge with bayonets.
To Lieut. General Payne and the cavalry, particularly Gen. Anson's brigade, to Major Generals Hill and Tilson, Brigadier Generals Alexander Campbell, Richard Stewart and Cameron, and to the divisions and brigades of infantry under their commands respectively, particularly to the 29th regiment, commanded by Col. White, the 1st battalion 48th, commanded by Col. Donnellan, afterwards, when that officer was wounded, by Major Middlemore; the 2d battalion 7th, commanded by Lieut. Col. Sir William Myers, the 2d battalion 53d, commanded by Lieut. Col. Bingham; the 97th commanded by Colonel Lyon; the first battalion of detachment commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Bunbury; and the 2d battalion 31st, commanded by Major Watson; and of the 45th, commanded by Lieut. Colonel Guard, and 5th battalion 60th, commanded by major Davy, on the 27th.
The advance of the brigade of guards was most gallantly conducted by Brigadier General Campbell, and, when necessary, that brigade retired, and formed again in the best order.
The artillery under brigadier gen. Howorth was also, throughout these days, of the greatest service, and I had every reason to be satisfied with the assistance I received from the chief engineer lieut. col. Fletcher,
the adjutant gen. brigadier general the hon. C. Stewart, and the quarter master general, col. Murray, and the officers of those departments respectively, and from col. Bailliff and the officers of my personal staff.
I also received much assistance from col. O'Lawlor, of the Spanish service, and from brigadier general Whittingham, who was wounded when bringing up the Spanish battalions to the assistance of brigadier general Alexander Campbell.
I send this by capt. Ld. Fitzroy Somerset, who will give your lordship any further information, and whom I beg leave to recommend. I have the honor to be, &c.
