Si had the itouttekuinform you, iu in let-

ter of the 17th July, tbat.iii a Conned of war held
nn that day at head-eittarters, it was resolved that
the division of the llarqui?.4 de cairspigny should
join that of Major-pc:meal Ttedin;, and that the
uttick upon Baylea shoals( h • undertaken with the
united forre of the two dii..ioas, whilA the third

division and the, reserve should occupy the atten-
tion of the army, by a fiiiold attack upon Andu-
jar. Mitior-Gesieral Reding onterrd finylen, on
the morning of the 18th, nt nine o'clock ; he met
with little opposition. The enemy retreated to-
wards La Curolies. The Major-General wrote to
the Commander in Chief for orders, either to ad-
sauce against Andujar, or to pursue the column

which was retirinz ti:ion La Carolina. General
Castanns ordered him to advance upon Andujar
without delay.
On the 19th, at two o'clock in the morning, the
General received information of the retret of the
French from Anduj:tr. lieutenunt-General Pena,
with the reserve, was ordered to advance initue-
diately towards Buylen. The French began their
retreat at nine o'clock p. m. 16th July. A letter
from Generul Reding informed the Commander-

in-Chief that he iiitendut coihmencing his ward,
from Raylen towiltds Andujsr at three &clod(
a. tn. 19th July. At two o'clock p. ta. the ad-.
vaneed guard of General Pena'a division catee op
with the enemy. At this moment an expreos ar-
rived frog' \Nor-General Reding. to inform the
Lieatesaant-General thlt IN had been engaged ‘vitli
the divi.ion of General Dupont from three o'clock
indite rooming till eleven; that he had repulsed the'
French, and remained master of the field of hattli,.
The guns of the advanced guard of Lieutenant-
General Pena's division had *timely begun to fire,
when a flag of truce arrived, to treat upon the
terms of a capitulation. The discusaran did not
last long.
•
General Dupont was told he ix nst surrender at
discretion.

Lieutenant-General Pena halted, and formed his
divisiou upon the heights of limbla, distant three
miles from Baylen ; between four and five o'clock,
fleneral Casterick, Aid-de-Camp to Bonaparte,
was sent by General Dupont with orders to treat
with General Combines in person.
At nine o'clock, p. ni. Major-Genernl Reding
informed the Lieutenant-General, that during the
truce he had been treacherously attacked by Gene-
ral Weilel, who was just come from La Carolina,
with a reinforcement of six thonaand men : and
that the battalion of Cordova had hetni surprised
and taken prisoners, together with two held-
p;cr•es,

The nego-iatimis lasted till the evening of the
20th, and the glaious result I have the honour to
itteleae, as also an exact *rename of the IsiUed and
wounded, o. both Ildbit. aw' I have beers WA, to col-
leet in the hurry of the =meld.
The French themselves acknowledge the bravery
and steadiueas of the Spanish troops ; their firm-
Dess,constaney.and priirrerAtlCP, uu ler the greatest
possible privations, are worthy of the sAliniration
.f the world, particularly when it in remembered
that half the army is cosapo..“.l of new raised
levies.

The Marquis Coup;griy it detached with his di-
vision to take immediate possession of the passes of
Serra Morena.

Celle/1111 C.sstanos deserves the highest prair for
his well-conceived plan, and for the cool determina-
tion with which he has carried it into execution, in
eisitr of the popular clamour for :us immediate at-
taches% the position of Andujor.
- Whilst the tiegociations were carried on, General
Osmium received an intercepted dispatch from the
Doke of Rovego to Dupont, orderius. him to re-
treat iturnediately upon Madrid, as the Ariuy of
Gallitia was rapidly admiring. •
This determined the General lo admit the capi-
tulation of Geueral Wedel.
