instant received at the Earl of Liverpool's Oilier, addresst.d to

dated Qui:lca de St Joao, July 11, 1811. •

T"e enemy continued in the positions reported in my dispatch

tavalty and about two battalions of infantry fr 'm Moutigo to-
wards the Xvvora, and from thence upon Villa de Rey, Le "
Roca, and A:buque;-que.

The object of this movement was
.apparently to cut off our ,
,cleticlanc tit s employed in observing. the enemy on that side; in
which, however, they Oid not succeed, Major Cocks having
retired with ~11 his dt•tachments upon St. Vincente, still keeping
communications open with Arronches and Portalegre.
The e'7emy's troops retired from Albuquerque on the Bth,
and Major CoLk!, :twain entered that town with his parties oss,
the slole day. . .

The army uf Portugal are again in the same position on the
right of the Guadiana which they occupied when I addressed
your Lor.lship on the 4th instant. •

Niebla, on the night of the 30th of June, in which place. the
enemy had a garrbon of about three hundred infantry. Lam
sorry to say this attempt failed, and he remained before the
place till the 24 instant, and then retired towards the Guadiana•
