They had likewise occupied other parts of that hill whit fleches
and other works, for the protection of their picquets and outposts.
As soon as the Ist divisi'n crossel the A rlanzote on the 19th, the
enemy's outposts were driven in. by the light infantry bettalion f
Colonel Stirling's brigade, under the command of the lion Major •
Cocks, supported by Brigadier-General Pack's brigade, and the en -
my's outeorks on the hill ce St. Michael's; with the exception of
hornwork, were occupied by our troops,. which were posted close t.,
the hornwork.
A 4 soon as it was dark, the same troops, with the addition or' tee
12d regiment, attacked and carried by assault the hornwerk eich
the enemy had occupied in strength. In this operation Brieeidier-
Gen7ral Pack, Lieutenant-Colonel, of the Ist Portuguese regene, te • .
Colonel Campb7ll of the 16th, Major 'Williams of th Caee'oaes,
Major Dick of the 13d regiment, and the Hon Major-Cat ks of the 7.•
79th regiment, commandieg the light infantry batlalic,nedistiuguishei
themselves; the latter, in particular, led the attack of the enemy's
posts in the twining,. and entered the hornwork by its gorge
night. We took three pieces of cannon, at d one captain, arid 62
prisoners ; but I ant sorry to add, that our own loss was severe, as
appears by the enclosed return.
It was impossible to ascertain the exact state of the works of the
castle of Burgos, till we had obtained possessian of the hill of St.
Michael's.
Siece the 19th, we have been employed in establishing ourselves on •
the hill of St. Miceaei's, and in constructing those works. which are
best calculated to forward our future op• rations.
The whole of the army have crossed the A rlanzon, with the excepe • .
tion ot' the 6th division, and one division of Spaeish infantry. • -• .
I have accounts from Sir Rowland Hill of thel lth; he was then
at TruxilLo, and had received my orders,•and was to beat °ropes t
on
the 18th. ;•
I have re t heard that Marshal Sonit has yet left Grande/a; he
was still there on the Bth. Generel Ballasteros had followed the
enemy's movements from the Gaudalete, and had been very success-
ful ; he was at Loxa on the 6th. The enemy hit abandoned Andujar
and Jaen.
The last accounts I have from Alicant are of the Itlth instant.—
Joseph l3uonaparte's army, and that of Suchet, were stilt in Valencia.
1 have no accounts from Cadiz.
