MAT 15.

On the 13th instant, the great body of the ene-
my's cavalry presented itself before this city. sod
detached various advanced parties through ►he
olive grounds. Our excellent Gement' immediately
made those judicious dispositions, which he knows
so well how to snake, slid the intrepidity said vigour
of our cavalry. the continued Ire of our bravo in-
fantry. and the skilful discharge of our well-direct.
ed artillery. consisting of two Ay ing pieces, threw
them into complete confusion. The siti'st+nn of
the olivir ground►. in which they were posted, ;iro.
vented a complete triumph, and enabled them to
conceal their dead. and carry off their wounded,
which most bare been very numerous. We had
only four womidotl. The enemy at night took the
direction of Talavera.—( Lisbon Gamut, May 19.)
• ST: /AUG. MAT 5.

Asleep was taken on the StAd of April, after a
siege, supported with inimitable constancy and va-
lour by its prrison, three Idays most violent and
continued Are, and after having been battered by
beery artillery, till a formidable breuch was effect-
ed. The number of the enemy employed in the
enterprise is not exactly known, but aceording to
the best at counts it could not be less that, 10 or
12,000, af whom from 12 to 1300 were cavalry. The
gar►ison espitolated for all the honours of war, tad
security for their baggage and property; but this
agreement was mos broken, and converted into a
general sack, without even sparing the Goveroor.
The loos of the enemy is calculated at 4000, of
wham 1300 fell in the attack preceding the capitu-
lation. a loss certainly much beyond that which we
sesstaimed.

Geoccal Janet was present and directed the at-
tacit. and his two Adjotests concluded the capitu-
lation. The eoevoy themselves confess that the
taking of die place cost them dear.—( Lisbon
Diary. Ng 191
