SUPPLEMEA/T to the LONDON GAZETTE,

OF TUESDAY THE 14Th OF APE(L.

WAR DI PARTMLNT.

Downing street, April 14, 18 12.

A Dispatch, of which the following is an extraa,
has been this day Rcerveil at the Earl of Ltverpoors
Otfiee, atlci.re!-:+ed to Ins "Lordship by General he
E4l rkt. .Watilgion, dated Caurp before Badajoz,
27th tvlarch, 1812.

like operations of the siege of Badajez have con-
tinued since I addressed you on the f2oth,. notwith-
standing the badness of the weather, till the
instant. On that day we. opened our fire front
twenty-eight pieces of ordnance in six batteries, in
the first parallel; two of which were intended to
fire upon the outwork called La .Picurina, and the
other tour to enfilade or destroy the defences of the
fort on the side attacked. I direated Major-Gene-
ral Kempt, who commanded in the trenchrs'on that
afternoon, to attack La- Picurina by storm, after it
was dark:that night ; whch service he elletted in
the most judicious and gallant manner.

The attack was made by five hundred men of the
3d divkion, formed into three detachments.; the
right under the command of Major Shaw, of the
74th; the centre under the Hon. CapTairi Powys,
of the 83d ; and the left tinder Major Rudd, of the
77th reglinent. The communication 13,.t wren the
outwork and the bldy of the place was entrred on
its right and left by the right and left derachments,
each consisting of two hundred men ; hilt ot each
of which detachments protected the attack from sal-
lies 'from the tort, while the .others attacked the
work in its gorge.

It was first entered,, however, by the centre de-
tachtr►e+;t of one hundred men, under the command
of tare Honourable Captain Powys, of the 83d Je7.
giment, who escaladed the work at the• salient
'angle, at a point at which the pallisades had been
injure,' by our fire. ' The detachments which at-
tacked the work by the gorge had- the most serious
difficulties to contend with, as it was closed by not
less than three rows of strong pallisades, defended
by mu'ketry, and a place of arms for the , garrison,
musket proof, and loop. holed throughout.. When
the attack upon the salient, angle, however Succeed-
-4 the whole got into the wcilk.

•
The enemy's garrison in the outwork consisted
of two hundred and fifty men, with seven pieces
of artillery, under, the command of Colonel Gaspard
Tillery, of the Etat -Major of the Army of the
South ; but very few, it any escaped. The Co-
lonel, three other' officers, and eighty-six men,

made a sortie from the Javelin caihid St. 11..h.inei

;Lny

Major-General Kempf mentions in higkierrn hi
his report the cool and persevering g tliantry of dna
officers and troops ; of Which indecd the strength of
the wot k, hick they carried, afro:ds the best proof,
He particularly mentions Lientenat t-Colonel Hat--
dinge; of the Starr of the Portuguese army, who
attended him on this oCeasion, Captain Bennett, his
Aid-de-camp, and Brigadier-Major who was
'unfortunately killed by a Cannon-Oot afrer the work
was- irt. our rsseision ; likewise Captain Holloway,
Lieutetyints Gipps and Stan way; of the Ito)al F.l-
gineers, who conducted the several detachments to
the points of attack ; and Majors Shaw and Rudd,
and the Honourable Captain Powys,. who com-
manded the several detachments. These three of-
ficers were woundsed, the laiterOn the 'rarapet of
-
the work, which he had been the first. to mount by
the ladders.

I have to add to this account, the-high sense I en-
tertain of th6-judicions manner and g,liautly with
Altieh Major-Gene:al Keinin carried into exeCutton
the service Which I had entrus•ed to hint.

We thus established ourselves in 1,1 Pienrina, on
the night of the 25th, and opened the second pa-
rallel within three hundred yards pt the body of the.
pla e ;. in wLich two batteries were corninenced last
night.

It is imposqible that I
.can do jugtice• to the zeal,
a&iVity, and indefatigable labour of the officers and
soldiers with which these operations hive been car•
tied on in. ;he most - unfAvonrable weather. The
Guadiana swelled so considerably, drat, not it h.
standing all precautions, oilr bridge of pontoons
was cirried.away on the 22d instant ; and ;be flying
bridvs were so much'inj n-ed, as almost to b.ecome
useless:; but still the. operations have been carried
on without interruption.
Since I addressed your Lordship on the Q. ot!1
General lltonet has had his troo,is o;t line b..--
tween Medellin on the Guidiao and Zilamea de
la Serena, and Llerena, apparently with the view of
heeping .the communication open between the Army
of the Send) and the di'visions of the Army of Por-
tugal, stationed on the Tagus.
Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Gahm made a
movement 10 Llerena on the 25th at flig!it, but: the
enemy,
,consisting of three, battalions of infantry
and two regiments. of cavalry, . having heard, of
his March, retired into the *mountains during the
night. , •

Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland Hill has like-
wise sent a detachment to La Quarena, and propose
eci to march himself this morning upon' Medellin,
in order to. co-operate with Lieutenant Genera! Sir
Thomas Graham.

I inclose the return of the killed; wounded, and
missing, from" the 18th instant.
