marches thrice as long as the army of Portugal'
did, when it retreated from Salamanca to the first,
said city. The troth is, that the English liav
-never rested at the positions Ivhich were indicated
to them on their march. They have always been
forced in their poSitiOnsi and were obliged to go
to rest 'three or four leagues further off,. •
. It results, from the acknowledgment of the
English themselves, that during. the siege of the
Fort Of Burgos, they had 2500 men rendered Unfit
for'service, which makes-the total loss cf the En—
lish army in their expe:lition ag,aiust
amount to 7000 men and 600 horses,
Annexed I have giYeni a particular report of'the
Officers who had distinguished themselves in the
different, combats which' have taken place during
the march of the army, and tintif its arrival on
the Douro. I most particularly demand of your
the rank of General of iirigade for .
Colonel Shec, and thZ• 'Cross Of the Le:cion o'f
Honour for Captain Linz, of the Engineers, at-
tached to my division, and for my Aid-de-Camp,

The Moniteur of the 30th contains the journal
of the siege of Burgos, as transmitted by General
Dubreton, the Governor. It is of great 1-.2ngth,
and we can only find room for the following ex-
tracts :

" During the early part of the siege the gar-
rison was exposed to one of the most terrible
wants,---that of water ; it had no sort of shelter
and the bad weather compelled it to he almost
always in mud and moisture; but it endltred
every thing with a patience and firmness, of which
its Chiefs set the example,, 'and particularly Ge-
'neral Dubreton, to whom is principally due the '
merit of this obstinate defence."

The 1-olio-wing is tile account of the attack of
the ,j Bth of October :

" The enemy opened in the morning a viggrorm
fire from his batteries, to enlarge the breaches ; it
was s►tccessfully kept up till four in the afternoon,
cluriiiE, which he collected in his trenches eight
battalions, who he formed in three columns fur
three separate points of attack.

" At four o'clock, on the explosion of the mine
at S. Romano ; .which. blew up the crumbling
wall Which defended that post, the three Columns
advanced briskly,—one to the breach at S. Roinir-
no ; a second, carrying ladders to that point in the
second wall, which was opposite the traverses of
the entrenched camp ; and the third to the breach
on the side of S. Michael. The con:patty which
vas at S. 1t01119.110 not being able .to with-
stand the enemy, retired behind the second wall,
and set fire to the trains placed in the church,
whichisueceeded so well, that it istantiv tum-
bled doWu on the enemy, and destroyed a:: who
were in-it. This explosion; and the fire whiCk
issued from the half-moon, and flanked the co-
himn of attack,
.caused it so much loss, that it
retired in disorder to the houses in the towh,
whene;... 'it had debonchell. The column which at-
tempted to scale with ladders the point of the se-
cond, was so vigorously received, thatf it also
The attack of the breach, wln,tre the enemv.
bad placed 'his best troops, Alone succeeded for a
moment ; for the breach' in the second wall was
not.only carried, but the enemy mounted to that'
of the body of the place, into \vhich a number of
English had already p,..-netrated. However, the
face of 'affairs Was soon changed, and the enemy
driven hack,, amidst cries of tire the Emperor a:.ter
seeing the bravest of their inen slaughtered in the.
interior and on the breach."

• The Report concludes thus--s‘ Such, is a faith-
ful narrative of the events of'a:sige which
thirty-five days, during which the enemy exploded
four mines, made five breaches, nd as triAny :ii-
saults, not one of which succeeded. 'On our side,
we made five successful sallies. The loss' of the
enemy was about 2000 men ; our's, in killed and
wounded, 16 officers, and 607 serjeants and pri-
vates, of whom the killed amounted to 304."
