REPORT.

The Committee are fully impressed with a con-
viction of the importance, difficulty, and delicacy of
the subject submitted. It is a mine which even • the
industry and laborious researches of philosophers
cannot exhaust. The Conunittee.are apprized, that
on This «übjed men of great science and experience
have supported, and do still support, diversity of
' opinions. With
,such impressio.is, they.cannot op.;
proach it
.without circumspection, On a review of
the reports, wade on the policy of f;stering and 'pro-
tecting our. manuladures, the Committee find (;at
. the plan thercin,recommended and pursued has rt-
ceived the support of. Congress; and llewke the
countenance of the nation, if silence on,' and long
acquiescence in, that plan, can authoriie them to
infer it. In giving to our manufaCinres he.support
necess try to withstand foreign comp.:l ition, skill,
and capital, the Committee have o:i ail occasions
endeavoured to avoid the danger of listening on the
community oppressive monopolies. For a manifesta-'
lion of the solicitude which they hAt'e at all times
1:,1t, and the caution which has always presided over
their deliberdtions on this pitere,ti4g subject, they
beg k-,lve to refer to the following report, which they
solicit may be taten as parts.ot: the present :

The like spirit which ditiated those reportS main.
t tins, without any diminn ion, its influence over
the ComMittee, and represses every dispOSition to
depart from restraints, the observance,of which be-
comes indispensable, if the public good be the sole
object in view.
The shortness of the present season, and the
want of materials, preclude the Committee from
giving this subiea a full investigation. 'Though the
Committee have to regret that they are prevented
from, going into a minute discussion of the advan-
tages that would result front a judicious encourage.
tent of manutatthres, yet they cannot refrain trout
expressing an opinion, that additional duties at
.this time may be laid with advantage on the 1w
portation of certain articles. It avast be obvious to
every person, on the slightest attention; that the
Citizens of 'the United States possess Kutficiern Inge-
nuity and skill to make up all the articles of wear-
ing apparel and millinery that hsay be wanting for
use. It is no less clear that shot, 'over and hove
our own consumption, can be, supplied and that
other manufadures, in which lead is the article of
chief value, have progressed so rapidly, as to da-
serve the fostering care of Government. The . im-
portation of cotton manufaCtures front beyond the
Cape biGoqd Hope, interferes not only witty Our own
cotton manufaethres, but also comes into competi-
tion with fabrics imported from lit../ape, made of
the cotton of the United States. Manufaet.eiriesare
in operation, for supplying; and preparations are in
great forwardness, for increasing the supply of coarse
cotton inanutaetures. If some encouragement be
given to esniUshments of this doseription, the pro-
bability is, that a tptantity of these 'Danube:lures
equal to the demand may be supplied. IS•cl.tick-
ing,of a quality superior to that which is imported,
can be had in abund.ince.

Thebse Of salt, as a necessary of life, cannot be
dispensed with. To keep in the market •a quantity
commensurate to. the consumptiori of the nation is
certainly an ohjeca of moment. Zn times,of
importations of tlti artie,l, ab,indant, and the
price low ; butt should t lin United States at any time
be forced into a war by a concurrence of inauspici-
ous events, and they have no power to prevent it,
the scarcity consequent in, such a state of things
would ;ready increase the price of this article, and
the pressure would, of course, he sensibly mid se-
verely felt by that portion of the community least
capable of
_bearing it. The, scarcity and-high price.
of salt during the American war produced no little
distres4„ The apprehension lately entertained, that
a deficiency , in. the accessary supply of 'this article
would be the consequence of an interdiction of cam-
merce with _the beiligerent nations of Europe and
their dependencies, gave rise to some objections, not
ea i;ily removed, against the adoption of that mea-
sure. To prevent cif:tett:illy a want of salt, on the
occurrence of any event, is certainly an object de-
serving the serious attention of COngress.

Assurances are made with confidence that a supply
of this article can be furnished by our own manutac:,
tories, equal to the demand, if encouragement Le
given by a moderate duty on imported salt. A na-
tion erels a solid basis for the Support and mainte'
nance of its independence and prosperity, whose po-
licy is to draw from its native sources all atticles of
the first necessity. As the encouragement sought
can be given, it is, very respectfully submitted to the
consideration-of the'llouse, whether the manutac•
tare of
salt is not, in a national point of view, an ob-
jeet of primary itnportanee, and highly deserving its
patronage. - \
The Committee, with great deference,. submit the
following Resolutions-=-

Resok'ed, That additional duties ought to be laid
on ►he !billowing. articles imported ',at° the United
Slates, viz.

On ready-made cloathing and millinery, two and
one half per cent. ad valorem.

011 cotton manutattures from beyond the Cape of
Good Hope, on bed-ticking, and on corduroys and
fustains, two and one half per cent. ad valorem ;
on shot', and-other manufactures in which lead is the
article of chief value, one half cent, per pound.
ResolVed, That a diity of eight cents per hitshel
on iii ported salt would give encourageinent to the
tnanulathire of that article in the United States.

A motion was made to reter the Li. port w 3.Com-
mittee of the whole.

Mr. SHIFFEY wished to move to poitponv
finitely ; but the tnotiJn for comniiiknenr bei, it
made, the question on it was firit put.
The motion for commitment ,was opposed on tl;e
ground that it was useless in name to py attention
to a subject, which, in tact, cuuld not be consider-
ed at this
_late period of the present session that it
was a question which admitted of much doubt, and,
probably would excite much debate, how far it was
proper to force any part oldie capital of the country
from its natural channel into an artificial one.

The motion was supported. on the ground that it
was Ihe ordinary course of legislation, to reier..re-
ports to a Committee of the whole, excvpt they.
were so objectionable - on the first blush as to be
Wholly uttwoithy of consideration.

' LONDON G eiZATTE EXTRAORDINARY,

TUESDAY, AUGUST J 5.

Downing-street, August 15, 1 sog.

Dispatches, of which the following are copies and
extra&s, were 'this day received at.the Office of the
Lord Viscount Castlereagh, one of his Majesty's
Principal Secretaries of State, from Lieutenant-Gen..
,the Right Fion. Sir Arthur Wellesley, K. B. dated
Talavera, 29th July, 1809._

Talavera de la Reyna, jut) 29, 1809.

IldY LORIj,

Genefal,Cuesta followed the enemy:s march with
his-army from the Alberebe on the morning of the
424th, as far as Santa Olalla, and pished fOrward his

advanced guard as far as Torrij'os:
For the reasons stated to, your Lordship in my
dispatch of the "24th; I moved only two divisions of
infantry and a brigade of :avalryacro,s the Alberch6
•:
to Casalegos,, under the command of•Lieut.-General
Sherbrooke, with a view to keep up the comMuni-
Tation between General Cuesia and me, anal with
It. Wilson's corps at ,Essaios
It appears that. General Viaricaas .bad not carried
into execution tl-at part' of 'the,- plan of operation;
v.hich,riated to his cofps,. and that 'he way still at
Damiel; Mancha ; -'and the enemy in the
*course of the 2,1•11 i, 25th, and 26th, colleaed all his
.forces in this part of Spain, .beo.veen T6rrijos and
Toledo, Ica% ing but a small corps of two thousand
'then in that place.. • • s ';

Elia upitecl army thus. consisted. of the corps •of
:Marshal tor,. ut that of General,Sehastiani, and

of seven-or• eight thousand men,,' thin gUar,-is'of
J‘.DePh Buoiiaparte, of Madrids,
. •
:,anct it was4cronauded by Joseph Buopaparte, aid-
ed by Marshals 'Jourdan_ atid,•Vitior, and Geueral
Sebas.tiaci. •

On. the 2,oth General -Cuesta's advanced guard
. was attacked near Torrijos, and obliged to fall•back,
and the General retired with his army on that day
to the Ica bank of the Albeiche, General Sher-
brooke continuing at Casalegos, and the enemy at
Santa Olali3.

It was then obvirius than the enemy intended tO,
try the result of a general glion, for which the best
position appeared to 'be in the neighbourhood of.
Talavera, and General Cnesta having consented to
;take up this poaition op the morning of the 27th,
I ordered General Sherbrooke to. retire with tiffs
corps to its station in the line, leaving General Mac-
kenzie with a division of infantry and a brigade of
cavalry, as an advanced post in the wood on the
right of the Anierche, which covzred our left flank.
The position taken up by the troops at Talavera
extended rather more than two miles; the ground
.was open upon the left, where the British army
was stationed, and it was commanded by a height,
on which was, in echellOn and in second line, a
division of infantry under the orders of Major-Gen.'
Hill.
- There was a valley between this height, -and a
range of mountains still further upon the left, which
valley was not at first occupied, as it was command-
ed by the height before mentioned ; and the range
.of Mountains appeared too tlistant to have any in-
finance upon the expe6ted aaion.,
.. The right,- consisting of Spanish troops, extend,
ed immediately in front- of the; town of Talavera
down to the Tagus. This part of the ground was
covered by olive trees; 'and much intersected by
-banks and ditches. The high road leading from
the bridge over the Alberch6, ;a3 defended by a
heavy battery in front of a church, which was oc-
cupied by Spanish infantry. All the avenues to the
town were defended in a similar manner ; the town
was.; occupied, and the remainder of the. Spanish in-
fantry was formed in two lines behind the banks, on
the roads AN. hich led from the town and the right, to

the left of
,our position.
• LI the centre, between the two airnies; there was
a comma/I:ling spot of ground," on which we had
commenced to construe a redoubt, with some open
ground in its rear::

13rigadier-General Alexander Campbell was posted
at tills spot with a division of infantry, supported in
.11 s rear by General Cotton's . brigade of dragoons,
and sonic -Spanish
At about two o'clock on the,27lh, the enemy ap-
peared-in strength oa the bat bank of the Alberche,
and manifested an intention to attack Gen. IClacken-
zk's division.

The attack was made before they cony -be. with.
drawn; but the troops,t consisting of General Mac-
Kenzie's and Colonel Donkin's Brigades, and. Gene-
ral Anson's brtgade of cavalry, ,Ind
_supported by
General Payne with the other four regiments of 'Ca-
%airy, iu the plain between Talavera and the wood;
tvithdrevii in good order, but with some loss, parti-
c9)atly by the 2d battalion 87th regiment, and 2d
battalion 31st regiment, in the wood.

I. Upon this occasion, the steaditiess,;ana discipline
. of tie 45rh. regiment, and Of the sth battalion both
; • giment, were conspicuais; and I. had particular

reason for being, satisfied u'ith the manner in which
Major-General Mackenzie withdrew his advanced
guard.

_
As the day. advanced, the enemy appeared in
larger numbers on the right of. the. Alberch6, and it
was obvion3 that he was advancing to a general at-
tack, upon the eo►nbinecl Army.

General Mackenzie continued to fall' 'baCk gra-
dually upon 'the left of the position of the Combined
Armies, where,he was
_placed in the second line, in
the rear of the Guards, Colonel Donkin being placed
in the same situation further upon the left in the
rear of, the King's German Legion.

The enemy immediately commenced his attack
in the dusk of the evening; by a cannonade upon
the left-dour position, \and by an attempt, with his
cavairv, to ovorthrow the Spanish infantry posted,
,-
as I liLlvebef,;se stated, on the right. This.attempt
failed cfctirely.

•' Eatly in the night he puShedi dk'ision along the
valley,.. on the left of the height occupied b) General
Hill, of which he gained a momentary possession,
but Major-General Hill attacked it' instantly with
the bayonet, and legained it..
This attack was repeated in the night, bUt failed,
and again at day-light in the moening of- the 28th,
by two diOsions Of infantry, and was, repuised by
Major-General Hill.

.Major-General Hill has reported td me in a par-
ticular manner the condu& 'of the 291 h regiment,
and of the tst battalion-48th regiment, in these dif-
ferent affairs, as well as that of Major:General Ti!.

son and'Brigldier.General Stewart.
We have lost many, hrave Officers and soldiers in
the defence of this important point in our position;
among-others 1 cannot avoid to mention Brigade-
Major ,Fordyce ansi .lifigade-Major Gardner ; and
Major-General, Hiil tit as hiniself wounded, ,but I ant
happy to say; but slightly.
'The defeat of this attempt 1.-4,;as followed about
noon'by general, attack with the enemy's whole
force • upon, the whole of that part of the position
occupied by the British army.'

In consequence of the repeated attempts upon the
height on our left by the Malley,- I had placed two
brigades of. British cavalry in that valley, supported
in the rear by the .Duc d'Albuquerque's division of
Spanish cavalry,

Tlie enemy then placed
.light infantry in the
range of mountains on the left of the valley, which
. .
were opposed by a division of Spanish infantry un-
der Lieutenant-,General DelLssecourt.

The general attack began by the march- of several
colutnhs of infantry into the valley with a view, to

attack the height. occup. i-ed by Major-,General
These columns were immediately, pharged.by-the
Ist- Gernian Light Dragoons and.e3d Dragoons, un-
der the command
,of General Adson, dire6ted by
Lieutenant-General 'Payne, and supported by Gen.
,Fane's brigade of heavy cavalry; and although the

23d dragoons suffered considerable loss, the charge
had the effea of preventing the execution of that
part of the enemy's plan.
At the same • time he dirthed an attack upon
Brigadier-General Alexander Canipbeil's position in
the centre of the Combined Armies, and on the
right of the British.
This attack was most successfully repulsed by Bri-
gadir-General Campbell, supported by the King's
regiment of Spani-sh cavalry, and two battalions of
Spanish infantry.; and Brigadier-General Cainpbell
took the enemy's cannon. •

'The Brigadier-General mentions' particularly the
conduEt of the 97th, the 2d battalion 7113, and of
the 2d battalion 53d regiments,
,and I was. highly
satisfied with the manner in which this. part of the
position was defended.
An attack was _also made at the dame time peon
Lieutenant-General Sherbrooke's division, Which
was on the left and centre'of the.ist line of the Bri-
tish army.

This attack was most gallantly repulsed by. a
charge vcith. bayonets, by
.the whole di.ision, but
the brigade of Guards, which were on the right,
having advanced too far,. they were exposed on their
left'flank to the'fite of the enemy's battery, and of
their•,retiring columns; and the division was obliged
to retire. towards the original position, under 'cover
of the 2d sine of Geneilal Cotton's brigade of cavalry,
which I had moved from the -centre, and of the. Ist
battalion 48th regiment.
I had moved this regiment from- its original po-
sition op the.. heights, as soon as! I observed the
advance of the .Guards, and it was formed in the
plAtt, and advanced upon the enemy, and covered
the formation of Lieutenant-General Sherbrooke's

•, Shortly after the repulSe cf this general attnelc,.
in which apparently all the enemy's troops were
employed,
,he commenced his retreat across the, Al,
berch6,- which was conducted in the most .regular
order, -and was effeCted during the night, leaving in
our hands twenty pieces of cannon, ammunition,.
tumbrils, and some prisoners.
Your Lordship will observe by the inclosed re-
turn the g e.it loss which We ave sustained of va-

luable Officers and Soldierg, in this long and hart'.
fought anion, with mare than double our num-
bers. That of the enemy has been much greater.
I am informed that entire brigades of infantry have
been destroyed, and indeed the- battalions that re-
treated were much teduced in numbers, By all
accounts their loss is ten thousand men. Generals
Lapisse and Morlot are killed; Generals Sebastiani
and Boulet wounded.

I have particularly to lament the loss of Major-
General Mackenzie, whO had-distinguished himself
on the 27th ; and of Brigadier• General Langwerth,
of the King's German Legion ; and of Brigade-
Major Beckett, of the Guards.

Your Lordship will observe, that the, attack: of
the enerny.lwere principally, if not entirely, dire&ed
against the British troops. The Spanish Commander
in Chief, ; his Officers; and troops manifested every
disposition to render us assistance, and those of them
which. wer• engaged did their duty ; but the ground
which they. pccupied was so important, and its front
at the same time so difficult, that I did not think •it
proper to urge them to Make any movement on the
left_of the enemy while he was engaged with us.

I have, reason to be satisfied with the condua
of all the Officers and troops. am much indebted
to Lieutenant-Genernl Sherbrooke fOr the assistance
I received front' hiii and for the manner in which
beled an his divisiOn to the charge with bayonets.,
To Lieutenant-General Payne 'and" the cavalry,
particularly General Anson's Brigade, to Major-Ge-
, nerals Hill and Tilsonl Brigadier-Generals Alex-
ander Campbell, Richard Stewart; and Cameron,
and, to
,the divisions and.bri,,,ades- of infantry under
their.commands respeelively,- particularly the 29th
regiment, conirnanded by Colonel White, the Ist
battalion 48th, commanded by
,Colonel Donnellan,
afterwards, when that officer was wounded, by Ma-
jor Middlernore; the Ad battalion 7th, commanded
by Lieutenant-Colonel 'Sir William Myers 3 the d

battalion 53d, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel
Bingham ; the 97th, commanded by Colonel Lyon;
the Ist battalion of detachments, commanded by
Lieutenant-Colonel Bunbury, and the td battalion
• .31sl, commanded by Major Watson, and of the
commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Quai.d, and sth
battalion both, commanded by Alajor Davy, on the
27th.

The advance of the Brigade of Guards was most
gallantly conducted by Brigadier-General Carripbell,
and when mecessary, that*Brigade retired, 'and form-
ed
again in the best order.
,The artillery, under lirigadier-Gener-al Howorth
was also, throughout these days, of the greatest ser-
vice, and I bad every rest to -be satified with the
assistance -I. received from the Chief Engineer Lieu-
: tenant-Colonel Fletcher, the .A.djutantGeneral Brig-
adier-Gcneral the Hon. C.
,Stewart, and the Quar-
ter-Master-General Colonel: Murray, and the Offi-
: cers of those Departments resrreelively, and from Co-
.
lonel Bithurst and the OdicerAleny perSenal Staff.
I, also received much assism'oe..from Colonel
O'Lawlor, of the Spanish Service,• and from Briga-
dier-General Whit tingliain, w'ho was wounded when
bringing up. the two. Spanish bacalions to the irssist-
.
ance of 'Brigadier-Genera) Alexander Caoibell, •
I send 'this by Captain Lord Fitzroy Somerset,
Who will give yttur Lordship any further informa-
tion, and whom I .beg leave to recomniend.

I have the Honour to be, ez.c,
