The last new piece brouvht out at this Theatre, called " Lletrel

er the legitimate drama than most performances off the regulai.•

BEVETILE character, although not requiring a full dis.

• The troops arrived at Salamanca on the 26th instant, and via •
.:fotintl•the enemy still in the town, with one division of infantry
aod thate squadrons of cavalry, end sonie cartoon, of the Army of
the South, under the command of Geheral Vdlatte.
The enemy evacuated the town on our approach, but they waited
longer titan they ought open the high ground in the ueighbout hood,
and atfarded an opportimily tin. the cavalry, fouler 'General nom
and General Victor :Alto), (the former of which crossed the
Formes at the Ford of Santa Martha, and the latter at the bridge)
to do them. a good deal of iiijury in their retreat. Many were
killed or wounded, and we took about two hawked prisooent„
seven tumbrils of ammunition, somebaugage, provisions &e. The
enemy retired by the road of Habil,' Fnento, inA near 'inert* was
joined by a body of infantry and cavalry, on their march traits
Alba. I then ordered our troops to discontinue their pursuit) tau
infantry not being up.
Major General Long, and Ilrigadier-General Morino, in coin...
mend of the Spanish division, attacked Alba, from which place the
enemy retired.
fa the eonrse or Me 971 h and 9mtio estawi.hed the tro ps which
hail marched troll) the Agneda and Upper Estremadora, bet ere
the Tonnes arid Douro, under the command of I.ieritenant-Generat
Sir Row hunt! Hill ; and 1 set off mpelf, on the to join the
troops here, and arrived that day at Miranda de Diono. and hem
00 the 31st. I found the troops 011 the Esla under the orders of Sir
Thomas Graham, as I had intended, with their left at Tabara, sod •
in communication with the Gallician Army, and their ri;yht ut
I this place, and all the arrangements mule for passing the Esla. The
greatest part passed that river this morning, the cavalry by fords,
and the infantry by a bridge, which it was accessary to throw ovo r
that river, as it was so deep that some taco: even of the cavalry,
were lost in the passage. The English hussars, who crossed tirot
took an °Ricer anti ;10 men prisoners oval Valdeperilices.
The enemy have evacuated Zamora, and our patroles have bees
in that town ; the troops which were there have fallen back upon
'Pero, where I understand they have one division of infantry and
a brigade of cavalry.
It appears that the many have joined at La Nava del Rev,y the
troops which retired from Salionauca, Avalia, 6.:e. with thitiFe
which were at. Arevalo and Dledloa del Campo ; and I imagine
that as this part of the army utivaioa, they will retire across the
Douro.
The enemy's troops were still at Madrid, and on the Tagus, Ott
the •!,zil ; but I conclude that they will have evacuated that pat
of the country on bearing of our movemets.
