enema: bridges, which the enemy had destroyed in their retreat,
and tire different parts of the army being without rommunicatio*
with each other, I as obliged to halt.
The enemy • had reffr/ii after the affair with Lieut.-General Sit
Rowland Hill on the 2d by both flanks of the Adour towards
Tarbes, probably with a view to be joined by the detachments from
Marshal Sachet's army, which left Catalonia in tie last week in
February.
In the meaa time I sent, on the 7th. a detachment tattler gajor.
General Fane, to take possessit n of Pan ; and another on the Bth;,
tinder Malaita! Sir William Beresford, to take possession of Bor-
deaux.
I have the- pleasure to infimn your Lordship, that the Marshal
arrived there yesterday (the small force which was there having in
the preceding holing; retired across tae Garonne), and that th •
important city is in our possession.
Lient.-General D. M..nuei Frtyre joined the army this day, with
I that part of the 4th army under his immediate command, and 1 ix-
peet that Major-General Ponsouby's Inigade of cavalry will join tw
morrow. _ _

I. learn from Major-Gen. Tane, who commands Lieut.. General
Sir Rowland out pasts, that the enemy have this day col-
lected a considerable force in the riciglihonrliood of Conchez, and I
therefore conclude that they have Lwcn joined by the detachmert
of the army of Catalonia, which, it is reported, amounts to 10,000
IIWII.

i Nothing mpoi taut has occurred at the blockade of Bayonne, or
in Catalonia, since I addressed your Lordship last.

Ayre, March 14, 1811.
I enclose Marshal Sir William Beresford's private letter to nee,
written after his arrival at l.3ortleanx, from which yofi will •ee that
the Mayor and people of the town have adopted the white cockade,.
and declared for the House of Bourbon.

Marshal Sir William Beresford's private letter, to which Lord
.%Vellington's dispatch refers, is dated Bordeaux, 11th March, 1814.
It states, in substance, that he entered the city on that day. That
he was met at a abort distance from the town, by the civil antho-
ritici and populat►on of the place, and was received in the city
with every demonstration of joy.
The magistrates and the c►ty g►.irds took off the eagles, and
other badges, and spontaneously substituted the white cockade,
which had been adopted universally by the people of Bordeaux.
Eighty•foor pieces of cannon were found in the city ; and an
hundred boxes of secreted arms bad been produced already.
