• I marched from`L)ria on the 13th, ana arrived at
Ahobaca, on the 19th, which place the enemy 'had
abandoned in the preceding night ; and I arrived ,
here yesterday. The enemy, about four •thousandH
in number, were posted about ten miles from
hence, at Borica ; and they occupied Brilos, -about
three miles from hence, with their advanced
Posts. As the possession •of this, last village was
important to our future operations, I determined
to occupy it; and as soon as the British -Infan-
try arrived upon the ground, I diretied that it
might be occupied ,by a detachment, consisting'of
four companies of riflemen of the 60th and 95th •
regiments. The enemy, consisting of a, small pi,
quer of infantry and a few cavalry, made a trifling
resistance and retired.; but they were followed,
by a detachment of our riflemen to the distance
of three' miles from Brilos. The riflemen were
then attacked by a superior body of the enemy,
who attempted to cut them off from the main
body of the detachment to which they belong-
ed, which had now advanced to their Support
;
larger -bodies of the enemy appeared on both the
flanks of the detachment; and it was with diffi-
culty that Major-Genet-al Spencer, who had gone
out to CEbidos when he had heard that the rifle-
men had advanced in pursuit of the enemy,, was
'enabled to effect their retreat to that Village. • They
have since remained in possession of it, and the
enemy tetired entirely from the neighl.iourboocl.
In this)ittle alt.:lir of the advanced posts, which
was occasioned solely by the eagerness of the troops
in 'pursuit of the enemy, I am concerned to add,
that Lieutenant Bunbury, of the ed Battalion of the
95th, was killed, and the Honourable Captain Pa-
kenham wounded, but slightly ; and we have lost
some men, of whose number I have not received the.

Head Quarters, at Villa Verde,
.• MY LORD, Aug. 17, 1808,
' The French General Laborde having continued
in his,, position at Roleia since my ,arrival et
Caldas on the 15th instant, I determined to attack
him in it this morning. Roleia is situated on an
eminence, having a plain in its front, at the end
of a valley, which commences at Caldas, and is
closed to the southward by mountains, which
' join the hills, forming the valley on , the left,
looking from Caldas. In the centre of the val-
ley, and about eight miles from Roleia, is the
town •and old Moorish Fort of CF.:bidos, from whence
the'enemy's piquets had been driven on the 15th,
inict from that time he had posts in the Lilly on both
sides of the valley, as well as in the plain in front of
his army, which was posted on the heights in front
of Roleia, its right resting upon the bills, its.left
',upon an eminence on which was a windmill, and
the whole covering 'four or five passes into the
mountains in his rear.
I have,reasen to believe that his force consisted
of at least six thousand men, of which about five
hundred were cavalry,- with five pieces of can-
non; and there was some reason to believe that
General Loison, who was at Rio Major yesterday,
would join General Laborde by his right in the
course of the night. The plan , of attack was
fotined accordingly, and the army having broken
up from Caldas this morning, was formed into
thtiee columns ; the right, consisting of twehe
hundred Portuguese infantry and fifty Portuguese
' cavalry, destined to turn the enemy's left, and
penetrate into the mountains in his rear; the left,
1 consisting of Major-General Ferguson's and Bri•
gadier•General Bowe's Brigades of infantry, three

Major-General Hill and Brigadier-General Night.
inga:e advanced Upon the enemy's position, and, at
the same moment, Brigadier-General Nine's
men were in the hills on his right ; the Portuv,-oe
infantry in a village.' upon his left ; and kijor-
General Fergukn's column was descending. from the
heights into the plain. From this situation the
enemy retired by the passes into the mountains will
the utmost regularity and the greatest celerity ; and
notwithstanding the rapid advance .of the British
infantry, the want of a sufficient body of "cavAry
was the cause of his suffering but little loss in the
plain.

It was then necessary to make a disposition to
tack .the formidable position which he had taken
.up. .trigaclier-General Fane's riflemen were 'al-
itiuilteMountains on his right, and no, timy
was frisratilleackitg the different passes, as well to
supi3oililTiiir'riflemen as to defeat the 'enemy com-
pletely. • •

The Portuguese infantry were ordered to move up
a Pass 'on the right of the whole; -the light coot-
panie3 of Major-General Hill's. Brigade and the -bill
regiment moved up a Pass next on the right ; and
the 29th regiment, supported by the 9th regiment,
under Brigadier General Nightingale, a third Pass ;
and the 45th and 82d regiments,
,Passes .on the
left. These Passes were all difficnlt of a,:coN,
• • :.
and some pof 'Ahem were well defended by the
enemy, particularly that which was attacked by the,
29th and gth regiments. These regiments at-
tacked with the greatest impetuosity, and reached
the enemy before those whose • attacks were to he
made on their flanks : the defence
.of the enemy
was desperate, and it was in this attack principally
that we sustaihed the los.s which we have to lament,
particularly of that gallant OfficPr the Honourable
LieUtenant-Colonel Lake, who distinguished hit-az:elf
upon this occasion..
The enemy as, however, driven froni all the
positions he had taken in the passes of the moun-
tainS, and our troops were advanced in the plains i'ti
their tops, For a considerable length of time the •
29th and 91,11 i Reorients alone were advanced to this

•
by the .sth regiment, and by the light cempanies
of Major-General Hill's brigade, which bad come
up on their right ; and by the other troops ordered
to ascend the mountains, who came up by degrees.
The enemy here made three most gallant attoeks
upon -the 29th and 9th regithents, supported, as I
have abbve stated, with a view to cover the retreat
of his4efeated army ; in all of which lie was, how-
ever, r'elitilSed' but he succeeded in eVeaing his

re-

of cavalry, and secondly, to the difficulty of bring-
