St. Sever, March 1, 1314

MT LORD---I returned to Garris on the 2ist,
arid ordered the 6th and light divisions to break
'up front ,the blockade of .Bayonne, and General
• DTI Manuel Freyre to. close up the cantonments'
of hit corps towards Irun, and to be prepared to
Move when the loft of the army should cross the
Adouv. I found the pantoOns collected at Garrfs,
and they were moved forward on the following
day to and across the Gave de Moulcon, and the

troopt the centre of the army arrived: Ctii the
24th, Lieut.-General Sir RaWland Mill Passed
the Gave d'Orcron at :Villenave, with the light,
t2d,'atril Potiqugbese'dlvisions, tinder the command
of Major-General Charles Baron Alten, Lieut.-
General jr William Stewart, and MariSchal de
Campo Don Frederick Lecor ; while Lieutenant-
General Sir H. ClintOd Passed with the 6th diri
'sion betWeEn Monfort and Laas, and Lieutenant-.
Getieral Sir Thomas Picton made demonstrations,
with the 3d division, of an intention to attack the
enemy's position at , the bridge of Sauveterre,
which induced the enemy to blow up the bridge.
`Marischal de Campo Don Pablo Murillo drove in the
enemy's posts near Naverrens: and blockaded that
place. Field-Marshal Sir Wm. Beresford like-
' wise, who, singe the 'movement of Sir Rowland
liil otpthe 14th and 15th, had remained with the
4th and ith divisions, and Col. Vivian's brigade;
in observation on the Lower Bidouze; attacked
the enemy on the 23'd in their fortified posts at
Hastingnes and Oyergave, on the left of the Gave
de Pau, and obEged them to retire within the
tete-de-pont at Peyrehorade.:

Immediately after the passage of the 'Gave
d'Oleron Was effected; Sir Rowland Hill and Sir
Henry 'Clinton moved. towards Orthies, and the
great road leading from Sauveterre to that town ;
'and the enemy retired in the night from Sative
- terre across the Gave de Pau; and assembled their
army near Orthies on the 25th, having destroyed
all the bridges oat the river. The right and right
of the centre of the army assembled opposite
Orthies ; Lieutenant-General Sir Stapleton Cot-
ton, with Lord Edward Sanicrset's brigade of
cavalry, and theld di visionrimder Lieut.-General
Sir Thomas Picton, was near the destroyed bridge
of Beret's, and Field-marshal Sir W. Beresford,
with the 4th and 7th divisions, under Lieutenant
General Sir Lowry Cole, and Major-General
Walker, and Colonel Vivian's brigade, towards
the junction of the Gave de Pau with the Gave
,d'Oleron. The troops opposed to the Marshal
having marched on the 25th, he crossed the Gave
de Pau below the junction of the ,Cave d'Oleron,
on the morning of the 26th, and moved along the
high road frain Pep-charade. towards Orthies, on
the enemy's right. As he approached, Lieute-
nant-General Sir Stapleton Cotton erosse4l with
the cavalry, and Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas
Picton with the third
,division, below the bridge of
Berens ; and I moved the sixth and light divisions
to the same point. and Lieutenant-Genera) Sir
heights opposite Orthies, and
. the high road leading to Sauveterre. The 6th
and light divisions crossed on the morning of the
27th at -day-light, and we found. the enemy in a
strong position near Orthies, with his right on the
heights. on the road to Dax, and occupying the
village of St. Bobs, and his left the heights above
Orthies and that town, and opposing the passage
of the river by Sir R. Hill. Ihe course of the
heights on which the enemy had placed his army,
necessarily retired his centre, while the strength,
of the position gave extraordinary advantageS-
to thnflanks. I ordered Marshal Sir W. Beres-
ford .to turn, and attack the enemy's right with
the 4th division under Lieutenant Gen. Sir Lowry
Cole, and the 7th division under Major General
Walker and Colonel Vivian's brigade of cavalry;
while Lieutenant General Sir Thomas Picton
shpuld move along the great road leading from
Peyrehorade to Orthies, and attack the heights on
which the enemy's centre and left stOod, with the
3d-and 6th divisions, supported by ,Sir Stapleton
Cotton with Lord Edward Somerset's brigade of
cavalry. Major Gen. Clias. Baran Alten, with
the light division, kept up the communication, and
was in reserve between these two attacks. I like-
.
wise desired Lieut. Gen. Sir R. Hill to cross the
Gave, and to turn,-and to attack .the enemy's
Marshal Sir Win. Beresford carried the' village of
St. Boes witlithe 4th division, under the command
of Lieut. General Sir Lowry Cole, after an obsti7
nate resistance by the enemy; but the ground
was so narrow that the troops could not deploy
to attack the heights, notwithstanding the re-
peated' attempts of Major-General Ross and Bri-
gadier-General Vasconcello's Portuguese brigade;
and it was impossible to turn the enemy by their
right, without an excessive extension of our line.,
I therefore so far altered the plan of the action,
as to order the immediate advance Of the 3d and
divisions, and I moved forward Colonel
Barnard's brigade of the light division, to attack
the left-of 'the height on which the enemy's light
stood. . _

This' attack, led by the 52d regiment, under
Lieutenant-Colonel Colborne, and supported on
their right by Major-General Brisban's and Col.
Kean's brigades of the gd diviion, and by simul-
taneous attacks on the left by Major-General An-
son's brigade of the 4th division, and on theiright
by Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Picton, with
the remainder of the 3d division and the 6th divi-
sion under Lieut. General Sir Henry Clinton-, dis-

lodged the enemy from the heights, and gai e tt
th.e vietorv. In the mean. time Lieutenant Gen.
Sir Rowland Hill had forced the passage of the
Gave. above Orthies, and seeing the state of the
action., he mOved immediately with the second di-
vision of infantry under Lieut. Gen. Sir Wm,
Stewart, and Major General Fane's brigade of ca-
valry, direct friim the great road from. Orthies to
St. Serer, thus keeping upon the enemy's left.—
The enemy—rethed at first in admirable order,
taking every advantage of the numerous good pci-
sitious which the .country afforded The losses,
however, which they sustained, in the continued
attacks of our troops, and the danger with which
they were threatened by Lieutenant General Sir
Rowland Hill's movements, soon accelerated
their movemems, and the retreat at length be-
came a flight; and their troops -were in the utmost
confusion.

Lieutenant-General Sir Stapleton Cotton took
advantage of the 'only opportunity which offered
to cliarge WithMajor-Geiceral Lord Edward So-
merseCs'lirigade in the neighlionthood of Sault de.
;NavalHes, where the enemy lihd been driven from
the high road by Lieut. Gen'. Sir Rowland Hilt—
' The 7th hiiss-ars distinguished themselves upon
this occasion, and made pi,'any prisoners. We con=
tinued: the pursuit till it was dusk, and I halted the
army in -the neighbourhood of SaUlt de. Navallles.
I cannot estimate the extent of the enemy's loss
we have: taken six piece's of cannon, and -a great.
many prisoners, theinumhers I cannot at present
report. The whole 'country is covered by
_their
dead. Their army' was in the utmost eonfusion-
H when I last saw it passim; the heights near -Sault
de: Navailles, and many soldiers had thrown away
their arms. The desertion has since been im-
'mense. We followed the enemy the day after to
this place; and we this day passed the Adour 3
Marshal Sir W. Beresford, with the light division,
-and Colonel Vivian's brigade upon Mont de
,Marsart, where he has taken a very large maga-
zine of provisions. Lieutenant General Sir Row-
lend Hill has moved upon Airne, aria the ad-
'.Vanced -posts of the centre are at C'asares.-7
The enemy are apparently retiring upon Agen,
and have left open the direct road towards Bour-
_ deaux• •

Whilst the operations, of Which I have above
given the report, 'were carrying 'on on the right
of the army, Lieutenant-GenerabSir John Hope,
in concert with; Rear Admiral Penrose, availed
himself of an opportunity which offered on the
2311 of February, to cross the Admit. below
Bayonne, and to take possession of both banks of
the river at its mouth. The vessels datined to
form the bridge could 'not' get in till the.24th,
when the difficult, and at this season of the year,
dangerous operation of bringing them in was ef=
fected with a degree of gallantry and skill selatim
equalled.' Lieutenant-General Sir John Hope
particularly mentions Captain O'Reilly and Lien.=
tenant Cheshire, Lieutenant Douglas, and Lieu-
tenant Collins, of the royal navy, and also Lien-
tenant.Debnham, agent of transports ; and I am
,Infinitely indebthl to Rearliniral Penrose for
the cordial assistance I ?eceired from him in pre-
.
paring for this plan, _and' for that which he gave
Lieut.-general Sir John Hope in carrying it
into execution. • The enemy, conceiving that the
means of crossing the river, .which Lieut.-Gene-
ral Sir John. Hope had at his command, viz. rafts
made of pontoons had not 'enabled him to cross
a large force in the course of the 23J, attacked
the corps which he had sent over on-that evening.
This corps consisted of 600 men of the second
-brigade of Guards, under the command of Major-
General the Hon. Edward Stopford, 'who repulsed
the enemy immediately. The rocket brigade was,
of great use upon this occasion. Three of the
enemy's gun-boats were destroyed this day, 'and
4' frigate lying in the Adour received considerable
damage from the fire of a battery of 18-pounderS,.
'and was obliged to-go higher up the.river to the
neighbourhood of the bridge.
Lieut.-General Sir John Hope invested the ci-
tadel-of Bayonne on the 25th, and Lieut.-Gencral
Don Manuel Freyre moved forward- with the
fourth Spanish army; in consequence of directions.
which I had left for him. On the 27th, the
.bridge having been completed, Lieut.-General Sir
John Hope deemed it expedient to invest the ci-
tadel of Bayonne more closely than he bad done
before ; and he attacked the village of Saint
Etiemie,' which he' carried, having taken a gun
and some prisoners from the enemy ; and his posts
Are now within 900 yards of the outworks of the
place.„

The result of the operations which I have de-
'tailed to your Lordship is, that Bayonne, Saint
Jean Pied (I,f Port, and Navarrens are invested,
and the army having. passed the Adour, are in
possession of all the great communication's across
the river, after. loving beateli the enemy and
taken their magazines.
Your Lordship will. have 9bsen'ed with satis-

facticin the*able assistance iviliah I have iteelvsd.
in these operations from Mdidial Sir W. Beres-
ford, Lieutenant-deneral Sir Rowland Hill; Sir
John Hope, and 'Sir Stapleton Cotton, and from
all the General Officers, officers and troops acting
under their orders respectively.

.• It is impossible for me sufficiently. to express
my sense of their merits, or of the degree iu
which the country is indebted' to, their zeal and
ability, for the Situation in which the artny'urt
finds itself.
All the troops, Portuguese as well as British;,
distinguished themselves : the 4th division under'
Lieutenant-General Sir 'Lowry Cole, in the at.'"
tack of St. Boes, and the subsequent endeavour
to carry the right of the heights the 3d, 6th,
light divisions, under the command of Lieutenant-
. General Sir Thomas Picton, Sir H. Clinton, Ma;
jor-General Charles. Baron Alten, in the attack cif
the enemy'S position' on the heights ; and these
and the 7th division under Major-General Wal-
ker, in the various operations and attacks during
the enemy's retreat:

The charge made by the 7th hussars under
Lord,Edward SOmerset sva's highly meritorious.

The conduct of. the artillery throughout the
dly'deserved my epti& approbation. lam like-
wise much indebted to the Qtiarter-Kastcr7Gene-,,

Sir Edward Pidienhatn, for the assistance I have
received from them,. and to Lord Fitzroy Somer-
set and the officers' of my personal Staff, and tO.
Marischal de Campo Don Miguel A!ava.
The last accounts which I have received frPill
Catalonia are of the 20th. The French Con"
antlers of the garrisOnsof Lleritla, Mequinenia, •
and Mazon, had been induced to evacuate these
places, by orders sent them by the Baron D'Eroles/
in Marshal Sachet's cypher, of which he flail
possession. The-troops catnpoing these gal'l.l"
sons haring joined, were afterwards surroundea,
in the pass of Martoreli, on their march towards
the French frontier, b'y a detachment' from the
Anglo-Sicilian corps, and one from the first Sp
nish army. Lieutenant-General Copons allosyxd
