Dozvning-street, March,7, 1812,

A Dispatch. of which the folloWing is an extra&
has been tips day received at thy Earl :.):f Liverpo-l's
Office, artaressed to his Lordship by General the
Earl of Wellingicu, dated Frenada, Feb. 19, 1812.
Since I addressed your Lordship un he 12th in-
staot, I hive received intelligence that the First
and Fourth Divisions of the Army of Portugal, and
part of General MOntbrun's Cavalry, as well as the
Six'h Division, are on the Tagus, in the neighbour-
]rood of Talavera fie la Reyna and Toledo. It is
certain that General Bonet evacuated the Asturias at
the time I rect ived the reports that he had done so
in.;antri.y ; aad I understand that he suffered con-
siderably in this operation, as well from the effects
of the weather as from the operations of a detach-
ment of the army tat Galicia, and of General Por-
lier's trool,s
No movement of importance bas been made by
any of the troops composing the army of Portugal.
since I addressed your Lordship on the 12th inst.
The Guerilla parties continue to increase, and
their operations become every day more important.
Sanniill has lately intercepted the comtuut iC,16003
of the Army of Portugal in Upper Castille, near
Medina del Campo, and he took about one hundred
_ prisoners near -that to,A n ; and the party of Cuesta
attacked a body of French infantry which crossed
the Tietar, and obliged them to retire with consi-
derable loss.

I have the honour to be, &d,

Feb. 29, tBt2.

SIR,

At day-light this morning I fell in with an ene-
my's cruizer, and, after a chase of six hours, cap-
tured the Grand Jean Bart privateer, of Si. Maloci,
commanded by MonsieUr Benj. Dupont, mounting
fourteen guns/ one hundred and six men, two hun-
dred an-{ twenty tons. She is a' fine brig, quite
new, copper.;,,iitomed, on her second cruize ; was
chased several times by our frigates, whom she out-
sailed ; and, confident of her superiority in sailing,
allowed me to approach so near, that cutting a way
his anchors, and heaving overboard' his boats, &c.
could notsave him.

I have the honour to be, &c.
