" Mos'r EXCELCENT SIR, •

. " On my approach rsterday from this town' to
alyit of Dos Barros, which place I was to occupy, by,
order of your. Excellency, I. found the enemy situ-.
in a very advantageous position, half a league'
beyond Guardia, which was a deep valley, formed
by two 'ridges of hills, between which the high
road, with no other way by which the co,umn could
pass, and much less the artillery: The enemy be-
ing situated on heights on the -ridges-which enclose'
the road, our fire arms calla. not reach theni;,.and,,
tr.) means of attack remained but to rush on them,
resolutely v ill) our swords. I gave orders to this
rtfett, and the movement was executed- with. the
greatest gallantry, by the regiment of horse grena-
diers of Ferdinand VII. .and the dragoons of Lusita-
nia.
" When the -enemy saw this movement, they
formed in. order of battle on the height abdie the
pass, and charged our column, which, not 'having.
room to open itself, suffered some loss ; but ottitr
regiments coming up, repulsed the enemy; and
enabled our troops to extricate themselves ; though
scarcely had they done this, when 'hey were attack
ed by much superior fotces, but by great exertions
of bravery, they repulsed the enemy to some dis-
tance, and formed, successively,
several"cities.
Those in front attacked the enemy with the greatest
gallantry, and though they were sometimes thrown
into some disorder, the others advanced in-the best
order, whilst the others rallied, and immediately
formed.
'" We thus proceeded to the vicinity of Dos Bar-
ros, where we found Colonel Don VinOente Osorio,.
with the regiol'nt of Spain, arid the dragoons of
Granada, who had been detached from Guardia to
attack the enemy on their left flank, in their posi-
tion at Dos Barros. This he did with great resolu-
tion, and those in front renewing the action at the
same time, the enemy retired to a considerable dis-
tance, and we were obliged to content ourselves
with ptirsuing them. The regiments brought by
Dori Vincette (Norio then became the vaoguard,and.

" At eigtlt o'clock at night the enemy evacuated
Ocana, and proceeded towards Aranjuez, according,
to intelligence I received from that town this morn-
ing. The valour of. the troops, and of the chiefs
and officers, as also their zeal and good understand-
ing, has been particularly displayed in .this aaion.

of a cross of South Down and Forest sheep; all lately•
introduced- on the estate, . were produced to the
Meeting. 'lt was reported .by some of the tenants,
whp tiossess very elevated situations, that.tileir South
Down rams had stood the severe storms of last win-
ter better, and appeared to be as"hardy as the Forest
breed; and that the cross had much improved both
fleece and carcase. The Meeting Were also 'of opi-•
riion,.that tile breed of Ayrshire cattle, .so valuable
for the dairy, had continued to do as well as in Ayr-
shire; and that spring Wheat,'sown last season, by
many of the tenants, had uniformly succeeded ; and,

land; had nearly doubled that of barley. It was also
reported, that a thrdshing-mill, moved hy,water, had
/been erei:,ted by one of the tenants, at an emsence
