a detachment.ot the 36th, and of the 4th regiments, was
to retire with 80111 c loss.
The enemy are •indebted for the small part of the garrison.
which they have saved principally to the unfortunate mistake of
the mad to Barba del Puerto by the 4th regiment. During the
whole period cif the blockade, but particularly during that period
that the enemy's arn►y were between the iivas Casas, and the
A zava, the garrison were in the habit of firing can-
non► during the night ; and the picquets near the place were
frequently attacked. On the night of the 7th there had been a
heavy the of cat non from the place, and the picquets were at-
tacked and another on the night of the Bth, and the Queen's
regiment in particular, and the other troops employed in the
hl.)ckade, were induced to believe that the explosion which they
beard in the morning of the 11th, was of the same description
with those which they have heard -n the preceding nights ; and
the Queen's regiment did not move at all, nor the other troops,
till the cause of the explosion had been ascertained.
Since the 11th inst. the enemy have continued their retreat
towards the 'formes.

FOREIGN OFFICE, MAY 28.

Dispatches were this morning received at the office of the
Marquis Wellesley from Mr. Stuart, his Majesty's Minister at
Lisbon, dated the 18th instant, by which it appears, that on the
)nch, at midnight, the garrison of Almeida blew up the works
of that fortress, and effected a retreat to Barba del Puerco, with
considerable loss.
Marshal Soult broke up from Gilena on the 9th of May at the
head of 15,000 men, and his httad-quarters were at Zafra on the
13th, where he effected a junction with the division of General
Latour Maubourg, which increased his nurnbtrs to near 22 000
men. Gen. Ballasteros immediately fell back, and united his
corps with that of Gen. Blake; their combined strength usoved
from Xeres to Bacarotte. On the 13th, Marshal Beresford and
General Castattos concentrated their forces in Valverde, where
it would appear they have been since joined by Gen. Blake.
On the 16th Marshal Soult attacked the combined army at
Alboera, and, after an obstinate action, was repulsed with great
1 oss, abandoning his wounded, and retiring to a position in sight
of the British advanced posts.
The loss on the part of the Allies is not specified, but under-
stood to be very severe. Major-General Houghton killed ;
Major-Generals Cole and W. Stewart, slightly wounded; Lieut.
Cols. Sir W. Nlyres and Duckworth, killed.
The following is a translation of the telegraphic communi-
cation received at Lisbon.
May 17„, 1811.—Elvas, Half-past Eleven, A. M.
