Elvas, May 22, 1811.
MY Loan-•-i enclose a letter of the 21st instant, which I
:we received fronisMarshal Sir William Beresford, containing
a letter from General Gazan to Marshal Soult, which had berm

intercepted by some of our parties.
General Gazan, wounded himself, was marching with. the
wounded; and from his account of those with hint front the
account of those at Almendralejo, and those left on the ground
at Albuera, from the numbers found dead on the field, and the
prisoners, the Marshal computes the enemy's loss not to fall short
of 9000 men.
Camp near Albuera, 91st May, 1811.
My Lo R n—l have the honour to transmit to your I .ord.thip
the accompanying intercepted Letter of some impoitance ; after
the severe battle we had, it is atisfactory to know that our
calculations of the enemy's loss were not exaggerated, and you
will see by Gen. G:izan's Letter to Mars. Soult, that in killed and
• wounded it cannot be less than SCOO men left dead on the field,
taken, we have the knowledge of near three thousand; General
Gazan states that he has more than four thousand wounded
with him; three hundred and twenty were at Almendralejo by
the same letters ; Gazan says many have died on the road, and
• Which we know must have been the case, as it is in the few
first days that the bad cases die in numbers, and a precipitate
retreat and want of convenient carriage must increase the mmr-
talky ; thus we can scarcely calculate the loss of the enemy
from •here data, at less than nine thouiand men.
nor advance was close to Azuchal and Almendralejo, and I
fff'd )5e putting a strong column of infantry in march towards
4e)e places to-morrow morning, and shall accompany it.
I have, &c.

Ribera, 19th May, 1811.
MONSIEUR LE MARECHAL—I have to report to your Earcl-
limey that I. am just arrived with the whole of the coluotti,
which is infinitely more numerous than I could have helieveO.
I am endeavouring to organize it, in order to avoid disastans,
and particularly plundering, which would make us die of
hunger, and which I found at the highest pitch this morning upon
my arrival at Almendralejo.
I found upon my arrival here a letter from M. Le Normand to
Major D'Aubersac. I annex it herewith, after having acquaint-
ed Myself with its contents. As I imagine that it can be only
the 9th co' ps which is at Alniaraz, I write from hence to the
Count d'Erlan, in order to induce him to hasten his march and
to join you. However as it is also possible that they may he
troops belonging to the army of the centre commanded by G*
neral D'Armagnac. I write to him likewise, in order that he
may move towards you.
send au answer to Captain Le Normand to intimate to him
that he s'iould correspond with your Excellency. Maid- D'Au-
bersac having rejoined the Army, I have ordered him to collt ct
a lari e convoy of provisions, and to accompany it to you, that
it may the more securely reach you.
The great heat will do a great deal of harm to our wounded,
the number of whom amounts to more than four thous and
especially as we have only five surgeons to dress them. Some
have died upon the road ; amongst them M. la Pierre, Chef de
Bouillon of he 103 d regimcnt.
' lam still without any news of the Chef d'Eseadron IA
Barthe; I shall have the honour of informing you the very mo-
ment I shall have been able to communicate with him. Spanish
parties are :it Los Santos and at Fuente del Maestro ; and have
appeared this nu ruing at Almendralejo and Villa Franca. They
made inquiries at the latter place as to the march of our column ;
and they give out that four hundred horse and a strong column
of of intry arc to arrive to-day at Los Santos ; I do not give any
creuit to this movement, but at all events we shall see them,
and I shall try to escape them. •
I beg your Excellence to receive the assurance of the sincere
and respectful devotion with which •
• I have the honour to be,
(Signed) The General of Division, GA ZAN.
