4. About the time that the corpse was lowering into the grave,
the High Sheriff proclaimed that an hour had elapsed since the
reading of the Riot Act, and informed the multitude that those
that did not instantly disperse should be taken into cle:tody as
rioters, and some were seized who did not immediately obey,
but we believe were shortly set at liberty, and the whole con-
course quietly dispersed: many more, we understand, were
wounded in the various conflicts, and reports have stated several
others to have lost their lives, but which reports we hope are un-
founded.
" In the town, every poisible precaution has been taken by the
corporate Magistrates to preserve the public peace.
46 A great number of the more respectable housekeepers have
been sworn in special constables; and the Local Militia of the
town were last night, at seven o'clock, noticed by the public
crier, to attend imme.iately at the Riding Schoal, to receive the
orders of their Commanders; a party of whom was stationed to
do duty over their military depot, at the Durham x, in Pelham-
street."
Troops are moving towards Nottingham from various parts of
the kingdom : two troops of the 15th light dragoons passed
through Stamford for that place un Sunday, from Colchester,
where a route for them arrived by express at two o'clock on
Friday morning. The rioters had acquired a great degree of
daring by the success of several of their destructive and preda-
tory attacks, and it was apprehended would require a strong
force to subdue them. The Ist and 2d regiments of Notting-
hamshire local militia had been called out, as well as the posse
scomitatus by the Sheriff; and very vigorous measures have by
this time, been taken to suppress this most alarming commotion.
Three more rioters, Oesides the person before mentioned, had
died of their wounds on Sunday.

Freneda, Oct. '43, 1811.
The enterprise of Don Julian Sanchez, to carry off the cattle
from Ciudad Rodrigo, adverted to in my last dispatch, was very
well conducted anti very successful. During the night of the
:4th he posted the troops near the places at which he had been
informed that the cattle from the garrison were usually brought •
fo graze in the morning, and he expected that they would come
o the ground on the left bank of the Agueda, between the hills •
n the El Bodon road and the fort ; and he placed two detach-
etas of cavalry behind these hills. The Governor, General
Regnauld, had come out of the fort and across the Agueda, at-
tended by some Staff Officers, and escorted by about cavalry; •
and he was surrounded by Don Julian's detachments as soon as
he entered the hills, and was taken with two of his escort, under
the fire of the guns of the place. remainder of the escort
escaped ; one of the Officers attending the Governor living been
wounded. Shortly afterwards, Don Julian's detichmEnts on the
right of the Agueda, drove otf the greatest nutnber of the cattle
which had been sent to graze under the guns of the fort, en that
side of the river. The enemy's troops in front of this army have
made no movements of importance since I addressed your Lord-
ship last. A detachment of the Army of the North, which had
crossed the Tormes with a view to plunder the country between
that river sod the Yeltes, have returned to their cantonments
without deriving much advantage from this expeditiono—l have
