Reclining on the shoulders bare, -
Was viewed a riark of beauty's pride,

In modern tunes, your famous Oil, -

The Hair could ne'er grow full and free.,

Whate'er the colour, dark or brown,
You well deserve a Civic Crown.

WAR DtPARTMENT.
Downing-street,. Oct: 5, 1812.
A Dispatch, of which the following is an ex
tract, has been this morning received at Earl Ba-
thurst's Office, atfdressed to his Lordship by Ge-
neral the Marquis of Wellington, K. B.

Villa de Torn, near Burgos, Sept. et.
. I continued to follow the enemy with'the troops
linclpr my command till the 16th, ,vrl:en I was
joined at PaniPliega by three divisions of infan-
try, and a small bodyof cavalry, of the army of
Gallicia : his Excellency the 'Captain-General
Castanos having arrived at head-quarters on the
14th. The enemy had on the 16th taken a strong
position on the heights behind Celada del Camino,
and arrangements were made to attack them on
Ore Morning of the 17th, but the enemy retired
in the night, and they were driven on the 17th
to the heights close to Burgos. They retired
through the town . in the night, leaving behind
them some cloathing and other stores, and a
large quantity of wheat and barley; and :they
Lave since continued their retreat to Briviesca,
where, it is reported, they have been joined by
700 f) conscripts. It is likewise reported, that the
Prince of Esling has been ordered by the local
government of France to come and take the com-
mand of the army.
The castle of Burgos commands the passages
of the river Arlanzon in the neighbourhood, 'and
the roads communicating with them, so com-
pletely, that we could .not pass the river till the
19th, when we effected that operation in two co-
lumns, the sth 'division and Brigadier-General
Bradford's brigade above,
_and the Ist division
and Brigadier-General Pack's brigade, and Major.:
General Anson's cavalry below the town..

Burgos is situated in that division of Spain al-
lotted to the army of the North, and General Caf-
farelli, who had been here on the 17th, had placed
in the castle a garrison of the troops of that army,
corsisting, as is reported, of two thousand five
hundred men. The enemy had taken considerable
pains to fortify the castle of Burgos, and had oc-
cupied with a hornwork the hill of St. Michael's,
which has a consulerable 'command over some of
the works of the castle, at the distance of 300 yards.

They had likewise occupied other parts of that
bill with fleches and.other works for the protection
. .
_of their pickets and ont-poSts..

• As stiOn as the Ist division crossed the Arlanzon
:on the 19th, the enemy's outposts were driyen in
.1)y the light infantry battalion of Colonel Sterling:a
.brigade, under the command of the Honourable-
Major CoCks, supported .by Brigadier-General
riack's brigade, and the,enetny's outworkS on the.
of St. Michael's, with the'exCeptiOn of the
hornwork, were occupied 'by ontetroops, 'which
were posted close to the hornwork:.
it As soon as it was dark, .the same troops, with
the addition of the 42d . regiment, attacked and
carried by assault the hornwork which the enemy
bad occupied in strength'. •In this operation 80,
gadier-General Pack, Lieutenant-Colonel Hill of
the Ist Portugues regiment; Colonel Campbell of
the 16th, Major Williams of the 4th Cacadores,
7Major Dick of the 42d regiment,.and the Honour-
, able. Major Cocks of the 79th regiment, eoinmand-
Ang the light infantry battalion, distinguished
themselves; the latter, in particular, led the at-,
tack of the enemy's posts in the morning, and en-
tered the hornwork by its gorge at night.. We took
three pieces of cannon and one captain, and sixty-
two prisoners ; but I am sorry to add that our
own loss Was severe, as appears by the inclosed
return. .

so It was impossible to ascertain the. exact state
of the works of the Castle of Burgos, till we had
obtained possession of the bill of Stn. Michael's.
Since the 19th, we have been employed in esta-
.
blishing ourselves on the hill of St. Michael's, and
in constructing those works which are best calcu-
lated to forward our future operations.
The whole of the army have crossed the Arlan-
zon, with the exception of the 6th division, and
one division of Spanish Infantry.
. I have accounts from Sir Rowland Hill of the
14th ; he was then at Truxillo, and had received
my orders, and was to be at Oropesa on the 18th.
I have not heard that Marshal Soult has yet left
Granada ; he was still there on the Bth. General
Ballasteros had followed the enemy's movements
from the Guadalete, and had been very successful;
he was at Loxa on the 6th. The enemy had
.abandoned Andujar and Jaen.
The last accounts I have from Alicant are of
the 10th inst. Joseph Buonapartc's army, :and
that of Sucher, were still in Valencia.
.\\\.l 1 have no late accounts from Cadiz.
