IDowning-street, April 24, ISI 2.
Captain Canning, Aid-de-Camp to General the
Earl of Wsllington, arrived Last• night at this
bringing Dispatches, addressed by his • Lor,isnip to
the'Ear4,of Liverpo,A, of which the following- are
Extracts or Copiti. •

Extrda of a Dispatch from rho Earl of Wellington, dated
.1 . . • -

Camp before 1.3a(13j0z, April 3, 18 iz.

We. opened our fire on ft he 31 it of March from
twenty-six pieces of cannon, in the second parallel,
. to breach the face •of the bastion at the south-east
angle of the fort called La Trinidad ; and.the flank
of the bastion by which the face is 'defended called
Santa Mafia. Tire fire upon these has continued
since with great effect.
The enemy made a sor:ie, upon the night of the
29,h, upon the troops of General Hamilton's diVi,
ion, which invest the place on the right of the
Guadiana, but were immediately_ driven in with
loss. We lost no men on this occasion.
The movements or Lientenant..,General Sir Thos.
C-I.laliam and of Lieutenant-General Sir flowlarrd,
Hill have obliged the enemy to retire by the dliZer-
eat roads towards Cordot.a, .with the exceptiOn of a
small body of infantry and cavalry, which re-
mained at Zalamea•de la Serena, in front
- •

- Marshal Soult broke up in front of Cadiz on the
23d and 24th, and has matched upon Seville with
all the troops which were there, with the exception
of fou► thousand men.

•
I understand that he was-to• march from Seville
again on' the 30th or 3 ! st.

I have not heard from Castile since the 36th
ultimo. One division of th.e Army Or! Portugel,
which had been 'in. the Province at—Avila, had on
that day arrived at. Guadapero, within two lea,s4.ues.
of Citbfatt Rodrigo; and it was s‘appnsd that Mar-
shal Martnont was on his 'march with other troops
from the side of Salamanca.

!iver Agueda was. nut fordable for troops.on
the 30th.

Copy of a Dispatch from th'e Earl of ayellington, .dated
Camp Octme Badajpz, 1812.
MY LOkD, I
My dispatch of the 3d instant will have apprised
your lordship of. the state of the operations against
Badajoi to that date, which were brought to a cloae
eoii the night'of the Oth; by the:capture ci the njaee
oy nice ,
The fire continued during the 4th and sth against
the lace of the .bastion _of La Trinidad, and the
flank of lhe bastion of Sant7,l Maria ; and on the
4th, in the morning, we opened another battery of
six gulls, in the iecend tigaitast the shoUlder
of the raveliu- of St. Roque, and the wall in its
gorge.
Praaicable breaches were effeaed in the bastions
abovementioned, in the evening of the 5:11; but as
I had observed that the enemy had entrenched the
baStion of La-Trinidad, and the must fdernidable
preparations were making fOr the defeuce as well of
tht breach in• that bastion, as of that, in the bastion
of Santa Maria, I determined to delay the attack
for
-another day, and to turn all the guns in the
batteries in the second parallel on the curtain of La
• Trinidad, in hopes that by effecting a third Eireach,
the troops would be enabled. to aern the enemy's
works.for the defence of the other two, the attack
of which would besides be connecied by the troops
destined tciatiack the breach ir the curtain:
This breach was effecied in the evening of :the
6th, and the fire of the face of the b,isfion of Santa
Mafia and-of the flank of the bastion' of La Trinidad
being overcome, I determined , to attack' tbe place
that night. •
I had kept in. reserve, in the neighbourhood of
this camp; -the sth division, under Lieutenant-Ge=
neral Leith, which bad left Castile only in the
middle of March, and had, but latel v.arriyed iu I his
part of the country, and I brought
.them up on
that evening.
The plan for- the attack wps, thaLLietatqnant-
, General Picton should attack the--.castle of Badalota
by escalade with the 3d-division ; and a detachmeet
from the paid in the trenches, furoislied that even-
ing by the 4th divlsion, under Major. Wtlsoh of the
48th regiment, should attack the myelin- of St.
Roque-upon his left ; while the 4th division, under'
thtt Houourable. Major-General Celville, and the
light division, under Lieutenant-Colonel -Bat nard,
should attack the breaches in the baiiiiins of- La
Trinidad and of Santa Maria, and in the duitain by
which they are connected. The sth tliviitiOn were
to nccupy the ground which the 4'h and iight divi-
sions had occupwai during the siege, and L'reutcnant,
General Letth was to make a falie attack 'upon the
outwork called Pardekeras, and another on the works
of the fort towards„ the Guadiana, with- the lefthi .
igade of the division, under Major-General Wal
er,, which he was to turn into a real attack, if cir-
cumstances should prove favourable ; and '
dier-General •Power, who invested the place with
his-Portuguese brigade on the right of,the,Guadiana,
was directed to make _false attacks on the tete-du-
Tout, the fort St. Christoval, and the new redoubt
called Mon-cccur.
The attack was accordingly tirade at ten at night.
Lieut. Gen. Picton preceding, by a few minutes, the
attack by.the remainder of the troops.
Major-General Kempt led this, attack, which
wesit out from the right of the • first parallel ; he
was unfortunately wounded in cressing theeriver
Rivellas below the inundation ; but notwithstanding
this circumstance, and the obstinate resjstance of the
enemy, the castle was carried by eKalade, and the
third division established in, it at about ball past
eleven, • . •

'While this 14 as going on,. Major Wilsor;‘ ~t tt
48th regiment, carried the ravelin of Si. 1i0.r.,.h- by
the gOrge, with a • detacipment of .200. men ui the
guard in the trenches, and, with the as.:ishince/ot'
Major Squire of ihe etigiatersfestabii.Ard mots ~.11
within that WOrk.
The 4th and light divisions moved to the attack
from the camp along the left of the river Rivellas
and of th, inr.ndation. Toey were po-v:Autd
by the enemy till they reached the c)veredway, and
the advanced guards ot the. t w divisions- cks,:.:endea,
without dertfictily., into th-e ditt.h, prOtetstcriby Cie
fire of the parties stationed on 11)5- glints for that
purpose; and they advanced to the .I.ssa,:ii• of ttit
breaches, led .by them gallantofficers, ihe ut-
most intrepidity";
.but stich was 41‘,2- nature of the
obstacles prepared by,-the enemy.at the top and be-

that Our troops could rot.estabilsh thems.elvols wi buts

killed or woridcd by explosions at the top of

obliged to give way, having :o,,:nd:ii.ntlilO,Sible to

pared,
.to impede their .progress. These attemp•s
were repeated till after 12 at night,_ When, Ithdr:tg
that success. was riot to be att.rh,cd, and oat Lent.:
General PiCioll W 33 established in the. cistie, I or-
dered that the 4th and light di: isonsmight retire to .

the attack.
In the mean time Major-General Leith had
