ascertained that file enemy, vho made a'
feint to march on Urgel had gone for Fi-
gueras, I immediately gave orders to General
Arnauld to join General Dumas, to reinforce the
blockade of Figueras, if he should find that
the enemy had escaped our troops by forced
marches. After a sharp action, on the 15th,
at Llardo, which terminated on the 16th
at Liars, all the enemy's column of near 2,000
men, which had disembarked in the night of the
oth and 10th, between Mason anti Mongate,
coming from Barcelona, surrendered to General
Dumas. This brilliant alrair does honour to Gen;
Dumas, whose troops were inferior in number to
the enemy.
