but the sport was rather indifferent, A caravan,
loaded with nearly twenty persons frotn Tunbridge
town, drakii by a bull with gilt horns; and decorated
with blue ribbons; 'bri Tuesday, attracted much at-,
fention. A flag at the front of the caravan bore the.
inscription. of " John 'Bull and his Ftiends," and ou
one side of the carriage Was written in. large charac-
ters, `` Success to the Spanish Patriots." The q6in-

MOT g.EILI.P.NI' SIR,

Subsequently•to.t4e dispatch. which I had the
honour to transmit:-.to. y our. Excellency , -on the 7th
t
inst. relative to the attack wade by the divisiiin.under
my command, on that of General GdßEllT;(killecl
in the anion), which was dislodged front all the po-
sitions it had occupied, as' far as the proximity of
Bayleri, and completely defeated, and to the motives
which had induced me tdfall back on •Menjibar; I
repassed;on the evening of ,the sanre day the river of
Guadalquivir, and took a posiiion on that night, in
which I was joined next morning, on the 18th, by
the second division under -the command. of the
Camp Marshal the Marquis DE COMPIGNY. We
jointly broke up for that city, with a view to attack
the enemy if he-occupied it.
Immediately on my arrival, in compliance with
your Excellency's orders, I disposed- the ctJumtis of
attack with, a 'direEtion- to Andujar ; but at three
'o'clock in the morning of. the loth, and when our
troops were forming for the march; General' Du-
. PANT, with his army, attacked our camps, and open-
ed a fire with his artillery, in the hopea undoubted-:
lv of taking us by surprise; but with the celerity of
fightning, the troops of the different divisions, 'led on
by their intrepid Chiefs, repaired to all the points
attack, assisted by artillery; the shock was -so ve-
hement, that the first company of horse, and also
of foot, suffered greatly from the enemy. At the
break of day our troops were already in posession
of the heights, which they had occupied before ;
the enemy attempted his attack on various parts of
the line, having the , advantage of forming. his co-
lurrms under the cover of our fire,_ by the superior
position he occupied, under proteCtion of :his ar-
tillery.
He has -been driven from all points, and even
pursued, in defiance of all his vigorous attacks, which.
he reiterated i hoot
.any farther interruption- than
what arose from t:ccasional
,recession and the forma--
lion of new columns, until half-past twelve o'clock
of the day, when, overcome. by:latigue, :without
having been able to gain ground, altf;irugh he had
at intervals broke our lines of defence with the
courage peculiar . to troops so accustomed: to van-
quish, and even arrived at_ our batteries, which were
served on this day in 4 manner that astonished and
the enemy, , and of whiCh there are . few',
parallel instances, as they not only instantaneously
dismounted his whole artillery, but annihilated-
every column in measure as they presented- sthern-
selves, still protecting the points attacked, and vary.i,
iug its posnions according to the exigency of cir-.
cumstanceS.

The last attack was made by Gen. DU PONT, who',.
with the other Generals, placed himself at the head
of the columns, under the tire of the artillery, and
was sustained •wiith a firmness truly admirable, but
with no better success, for by :the account of .the
enemy, he had fourteen guns dismounted, two thou-
sand men killed,, and a vast number wounded, among
whom are General DUPONT himself, with two other
Gefterats.

• Under such circumstances General DUPONT beg-
ged to capitulate. Hostilities,were accordingly Sus-
pended. in both armies, and it was stipulated that'
each shc,atd- maintain its respe&ive position. The
fkuits he valour and perseverance of the generous:
troops that compose_ ►hese two divisions, are the
total rout of the enemy, the army of DUPONT being
made prisoners, and that of \VEnEL being subject-
ed to the same fate, without any other distinction
than that of the latter receiving their arms at,the
time of their embarkation only, for having taken pb-
sition, against military law, during the suspension of
arms conceded to him and to his Commander in
Chief.

The Camp-Marshal Marquis DE COMPIGNY,
Chief of the second division, has not only, in con-
cert with me in the direiStion of -the movements -of
this day, contributed to their successful termination,
'but having selected the corps of which 1 have made
mention, he led them in person to the hottest
points of the three general attacks, and secured
by his judgment and gallant example the said•happy
result.

Brigadier. General Don FRANCISCO BENEGAs,
Chief of the van of my division, placedon my'right
wing, disposed with skill, and much presence of
mind, the proper corps and artillery on: all the
points attacked by the enemy, and ably contributed
to repel him in all his partial successive attacks, as
bell as in the last general and obstinate one, by
which he attempted to turn the said wing, at the
same time that he was attacking the centre.
