A diltateh, of which the •Ilowing is •:n extract, has been this day re-
ceived at Lord liathurst's Office, addressed to the hula Liverpt.ol, by
lieoeral the Earl Of Wellington, dated Salamanca, 18th June, 18 Iv.
The army crossed the Agueda on the 1311 i instant, and marched for-
ward in three columns, the troops under Don Carlos d'Espana fm ming
a fourth ; and 0 c *hole arrived upon the Valmusu, a tivulet about
six miles from hence, on the 16th. The enemy chewed some cavalry,
and a small Wily of ilifinitry, in front of the town on that day. and
munites•ed a design to hold the height,: on the south side of the Tormes,
but their cavalry were immediately driven in by our's, ; rind the enemy
evacuated Salamanca on the night a the 16th, having a garrison of
about 800 men in the fortifications which they had erected on the ruins
of the colleges and convents which they have denodished.
lid the fire from these they protect the passage of the Tomes, by the
tridge; and cur troops crossed that river yesterd..l morning by two
f,orls which are in this neighbourhood.
The torts wore immediately invested by the 6th division, under the
command of Major-General Clinton. and having been accurately re-
fromUitred, it was found neeessary to break ground before them; this
was done last night, and I hope that we shall commence our lire t"-mor-
new morning from eight pieces of cannon, at the distance of time him-
thed yards from the principal oldie enenLy's works, the possession of
which will, I hope, give us the possession of the others. Illajor-General
Clinton conducted these operations.
It is :,apossible to describe the joy of the people of the town upon
our enhance. They have now been suffering for more than three
tears. during which tithe the French, allying other acts of oppression,
*have destroyed thirteen of twenty-five convents, and twenty two ul
twenty-five colleges which existed in this celebrated seat of learning.
The enemy retired by the road to Toro, and their rear-guard was
about fifteen miles from hence last night ; they retired again this morn-
ing by the same road, and I understand that they intend to collect
their army on the Douro, between Moro and Zataiora.
I enclose a letter from Lientenatit-Gencral sir Ro.vland Hill and
its enclosures, being two from Major-General Slade, giving an ac-
count of an affair which lie hod with the enemy on the 11th inst.
in which, owing to the impetuosity of the troops, considerable loss
was snstanied.

111 AT reports from the South, seating that 'General Ballasteros has
hill an action with the enemy near Bornos un tlse Ist it.stant, of which
I hat:;. not received the details, ol• any regular confirmation, notwith-
wan !in:; there is no doubt o 1 the fact. The result has been stated
iii.lercinly by the two parties, and it is reported by the enemy that
Bah, sterns is badry wcunded; but they have reinforced their troops
in that direction since the action, from which circumstance it is to
he inferred that the success, if on their side at all, was nut very de-
cisive.

Zafra, June 13, 1811.
Iry Lou n-1 have the honour to transmit to your I.firdzhip, etipies
of la pqrts which 1 have received from Alajor-General S!adc, reining
to au aTair between two regiments of the niagade of cavalry under his
command, and the brigade of French cavalry under General L'Aile-
!loom, in the neighbourhood of Valencia de los Tortes on the 11th
instant, in which lam sorry to observe we have suffered severely, and
not .:imed the advantage %%lids might have been expected.
nI jor-General Slade had advanced and was to have proceeded tht
H.lluwing day in the direction of La Cranja, to cover a reconnoissance
to be made by the Count de Penne Villemur on that day, Irons Llepena
towards Assuaga.
The i7th and 29th dragoons under General L'Allemand, which had
.1/,'en stationed in the neighbourhood of Assuaga, had however m ,ved
