Lowry Cole attacked and possessed himself of the village, which

under Don Pedro Giron, and Major Gen. Charles Baron Allen
carried the positions of La Petite La RIIIIIIIC.
The whole then ca-opetated in the attack of the enemy's main
position behind the village. -"flw 3d and 7th diviAcats immediately
caviled the redoubts on the left of the enemy's centre, and the light
division those on the right, while the 4th division, with the re
serve of Andalusia on the left, attacked their positions in their
centre. By these attacks, the enemy were obliged to abanden
their strong position., which they had fortified With much care and
Labour; and they MI in the principal redoubt on the height, the Ist
battalion, Nth regiment, which immediately surrendered.
While these operationa were going on in the centre. 1 had the
pleasure of seeing the 61k division, natter Lieut.-Gee. Sir II Clin-
ton, Idler having crossed the • Nivelle‘ and having driven in the
enemy's piquete on both banks, and Laving covered the passage of
the Portuguese division, tinder Lient—Gen. Sir J. Hamilton, on
its rigjit, make a nto-t handsome attack upon the right of the
enemy's po-ition behind Anlioue, and on the right of the Nivelle,
and carry all the enttenchinents, and the redoubt eni that flank.
Lieut.-tem Sir J..llanniten, supported with the Porneotese divi-
sion on its right. wel both co-operated in the attack of the second
redoubt, which was immediately carried.
Majur•General Pringle's be ig,aeir of. the 2d division, under Lieut.-
Gen. the Hem. Sir W. Stew art, drove its the enemy's piqnets on the
Nivelle and in front of Antoine, and then Major-Gen. Byng's bri-
pale of the 2d division cars led the entrenchmenta and a redoubt
tut thee on the enemy's left, in which attack the Major-Gen. and those
troops distinguished themselves. Major-Gen. Murillo covered the
advance of the whole to the heights behind Anhotte, by attacking
the enemy's posts on the slopes of Mondarin, and following them
towards limier*. The troops on the heights behind Anhoue were,
by thCAC operations, under the direction of Lietit,Gen. Sir R. Hill,
forced to retire towardsthe bridge of Cambo, on the Dive ; with the
exception of the division in Mondarin, which, by the march of a
part of the 2d diviion, fouler Lient..Gen. the Hon. Sir 'W. Stewart,
was pushed into the monutahts towards flavgory.
As soon as the heights were carried on Iwth banks of the Nivelle,
I directed the third and seventh divisions, being the sight of cite
centre, to move by the left of that tiller upon St. Pe, and the Gth
division by the right of that river, on the same place, while the 4th
and light divisions and General Giron's reserve, held the heights
above Ascent, and covered this movement on that side, and Lieut.-
Gen. Sir Rowland Hill covered it on the other. A part of the
enemy's troops had retired from their centre, and had crossed the
Ni. ells at St. Pe ; and as soot. as the Gth division approached the
3.1 division, under Itlajor-Gen. the Hon. C. Colville, and the 7th
division snider General Le Cor crossed that river and attacked, and
immediately gained possession of the heights beyond it.
We were thus established in the rear of the enemy's right ; but so
much of the day was now spent, that it was impossible to make
any lie titer movesnent ; and 1 was obliged to deter oar further ope-
rations till the fiellowitut morning.
. The enemy evacuated Ascain in the afternoon, of which village
Lieut.-Gen. Don Manuel Freyre took possession; and quitted
all their works and positions in front of St. Jean tie Luz during the
night, and retired upon Hielart, destroyiiu all the bridges on the
Lower Nivelle. Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir J. Hope thllowed them
with the kit of the army, as soon as he resold cross the river ; .and
I%larshal Sir W. Beresforu moved the centre of the army as far as
the state of the roads after a violent fall of rails would allow ; and
the enemy retired again on the night of the 11tH, into an entrenched
camp in front of Bayonne.
In the course of the operations of which I have given your Lord-
ship an outline, in which we have driven the enemy from positioes•
which they had been fortifying with great labour and care for three
months, in which we have taken 5t pieces avant). tffitthrilS of
ammunition, and 4400 prisoners, 1 have great satotieetion its re-
porting the good condnet of all the officers and troops. Tlw rerrt
itself will skew haw lunch reason I had to be satisfied with the con-
duct of Marshal Sir W. Beresford, and of Leeut.• Gen. Sir R. hill,

Lieut.-qem, Sir Rowland Hill, and Marshol Sir Wil!iam Beresford,
thew Geheral Officers have reported their seise of the conduct

of the Generals and troops under their command, respectively ; and
I particularly request your Lordship's attention to the conduct of
Major-Geo. Hyig, and of Major-Gen. Lambert, who conducted the
attack of the 6th division. I likewise particularly observed the
eendnct of the 5t st and 63th regiments, under the command
of Major tiiee and Hawkius, in Miijor-Gen.
brigade.. in the attack of the heights ")hove St. Pe, in the afternoon
of the 10th. The Oth Porte, nese brigade, ip the 3d division, under
Major-Cen. Posse', likewise diAiognislied themselves in the attack
of the left of .the enemy's centre, and Major-Gen. Ansou's brigvde,
of the 4th division, in :he village of Sarre, and the centre of the
heights.
Although the most brilliant part of this service did not fall to the
lot of Lit nt.-Gen. the lion. Sir J. Hope, and Lieut.-Gen. Don M.
Freyre, I have every reirson to be satisfied with the mode in which
these General Offices conducted the service of which they had tho
direction.
Our kiss, although severe, has not been so g. eat as might have
been expected, considering the strength of the positions .attacked,
and the length of time (from daylight till dark), during .which the
troops were engaged : butbutt ant concerned t• add, that Colonel
Barnard, of the 95th, has been severely, though I hope not dan.ers,
onsly wounded : and that we have lost in Lieut.-Col. Lloyd, of
94th, an officer who had frequently distinguished himself, and was
of great promise.
I received the greatest assistance in forming. the plan for this at-
tack, and throughout the operations, from the Quarter-Master..Ge-
neral Sir G. Murray, and the Adjutant-General the Hon. Sir E. Pa-
-I.colium, and from 'Lieut.-Colonel Lord F. Somerset, Lieut.-Colonel
Campbell, and all the Officers of my personal staff, and his Serene
'Highness the Prince of °mow..
The artillery which was in the fie hl was of great use to ifs; and
cannot sufficiently acknowledge the intelligence and activity with
which it was brought to the point of attack, tinder the direction of
Col. Dickson, over the bad roads through, the mountains, at 'this
season of the year.
I send this dispatch by my itle•de-Camp, Lieut. the Marquis oC
Worcester, whom I beg lease to recommend to your Lordship.
I have, ate. (Signed) W ELLINGTON.

DEPARTURE OF TM: PRINCE OF ORANGE..

• ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, NOV. 26, 1813. .
'Yesterday his Serene Highness, the Prince of Orange, embarked
fom Deal fur Holland, on board Kis Majesty's ship Warrior, of 74
Eons, commanded by Captain Lord Viscounf'forrington.
His Serene Highness was accompanied by the Earl er Clancarty,
and followed by the respective suites' of his Serene Highness and
that madman.
Ott Ilk arrival at Deal, his Serene Highness was received by a
guard of honour, and waited upon by Vice-Admiral Foley, Com-
piamler-inChief, and the Captains of his Majesty's navy then at
The Vire-Admiral's barge, with an orange flag flying, conveyed
Lis Serene Highness to the Warrior, and on his embarking in the
barge, the flag-ship of the Commander-in-Chief, fired a salute of 21
guns.
On h Serene Highness's going on board the Warrior, the Orange
fl; g was hoisted at die main-top.mast-head, and immediately saluted
with '2l guns, by each of his Majesty's ships. and by those of his
Aliajesty the Emperor of Russia, then lying in the Downs.

This Gazette contains 'dispatches from Sir C Stewait, dated
Gottingen, Nov. •ith, enclosing two reports of the operations of
the army of Silesia during the retreat of the French. 'Flie former
states, that Gen. Blucher's advance overtook the enemy at the en-
trance of the defiles, about a German mile beyond Esenavh, where
they blew up some ammunition waggons, and destroy-d and aban-
doned some baggages, but the ground not being fikvourable for ca-
valry. the pursuit could not be cloq:. In an extent of 50 English
miles trom Eisenach to Fulda, the numbers of bodies that had pe-
rished of wounds, ratig,n and disease, " could not have amounted
to much les- than a thousand." Parties of pri,onert and strageers,

had endeavoured to support their march, lying by their sides.
—Th v report concludes by supposing, that in consequence of Gen.
%Vietle's being posted at Henan with his army, Buonaparte would
be compelled to change his road, and turn towards Coblentz, where
Marshal Blucher was marching. The 2tl report, dated Ulrichstein,
Nov. I, states, that iii consequence of the march of the grand com-
bined army on the same route behind him, and the difficulty of ob-
taining subsistence, Marshal Blocher had quitted that road and
marched through the highest part of the Voralberg mountains, the
roads through which " were full of every obstacle that hills, woods,
ravines, morasses, and roads that had never been destined.for wheel
conveyances, could present; and wete, in fact such, a', according
to any usual military calculation, would have been considered as im-
practicable lUr the movement of a large army ; infantry, cavalry,
artillery, and baggage, every thinz, however, were pushed over
them. The Russian 12-pounders frequently stuck in the roads, but
where 6 horses were hot sufficient, lit were takled ; and finally,
every thing was made to yield to the perseverance and determined
resolution, which has distinguished all the operations of this
This report concludes with mentioning the first action between
Gen. Wrede and the French, and a report that Napoleon had con-
centrated his army at Hauau and Frauckfort, and returned to give
the Bavarians battle.

, This Gazette also states, that the Provinces of Fist Frivzeland, the
State of littiphatisen, the Dutchies of Oldenherg and of Bremen being
no longer under the dominion of France, the blockade of that part of
the coast of Germany is discontinued.
This Gazette likewise contains a short di!patch from Lord Welling-
ton, dated St. Pe, Nov. 13, merely to state, that he had omitted in his
former account to mention the conduct of the light division under
nijur-General Baron Alten in the manner it deserved. His Lordship
raises hieh'y Major-General Kempf, (who, though wounded, did not
quit the field,) ,and Colonel Culbourne.
