- , " VALLADOLID, MAY 24, 1809.—1 bad the ho-
, nour to announce to your Excellence yesterday that
we had taken possession of Oviedo, and that there
was reason to suppose La Romarta, who had re-
prated to Gijon, would be taken prisoner, or oblig.
ed once more to escape by sea. The following are
the details contained in a letter from General Kel.
lerrnan, dated Pola de Lena, of the 20th
"Early on the morning of the 10th the division
of General Kellerman arrived at Villa Simplice,
:where they found the bridge broken, and the pas-
. :rage almost impracticable across the Banerga. In-.
Atantly,trees were felled, in order to repair the bridge
its soon as possible, but as this could.not be effefted,
:!with all dispatch, in less than 24 hours, General
,Kellerman commanded the Commandant• Adjutant
Oarthelemy, Chief of his Staff, with three batta-
lions of the advanced guard, to proceed, as well as
lie was able, , over the rocks ; am! at the same time
he caused two other battalions of the advanced guard'
to march up the left side, who were to cross a moun-
tain resembling that on the top of which stands the
fort of Bard. The remainder of the infantry, and
the 11th Regiment of Dragoons, followed the same
toad.
