OUR ARMY IN SPAIN.

.E.Y.TRAcT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER r.l THE
DRAGooNs, DATED CAMP ON THE-RIVER CIZA,
CUELLAR, AUG. 3, .1812.
" in my last I had only time to tell yon of my
safety. On the 17th ult. we left our quarters at
La "Nava 68 Rey and PolotSk, and moved to the
right. On the following morning, ',Marniont
crossed the Douro; with his whole army, in a most
masterly style. I never saw any thing more beau-
tiful than his passing the river and forming on the
other side. We bad a severe brush with him near
'Castrejenor, and strange as it may appear to you,
it is no less true, that Sir Stapleton Cotton, with
General Anson's brigade of cavalry, and Major
Bull's troop of horse artillery, kept the whole
French army in • cheek for nearly six hours, until
reinforcements came up. This is considered with
us a grand exploit, and does no small credit to the
abilities of Sir Stapleton. Our brigade afterwards
retired about a leagues to the right. in the evening,
the enemy appeared on our left, and endeavoured
to invest a height near us. Gen. Alten's brigade
was in that. quarter, and stood some time against
ten squadrons of cavalry, supported by infantry
and guns. Our brigade•arrived just as the Light
Dragoons were retiring. We immediately ad-
vanced at the charge, 'but these valiant heroes
:11Rd not the politeness to wait our arrival, but
fled with some precipitation. We had,' very sharp
work the whole of that day. Our army still kept
retiring on the 19th, 20th, and
,2lst, towards Sa4.
lamanca, • the enemy endeavouring to turn. one
right flank. On the'22cl,- we again moved to the
right, and we all expected 'to recross• the Agneda
without an action : Maiinont, however, was much
too impudent, and bullied us confoundedly, can.-
nonading the cavalry very heavily during the whole
day, but doing little' damage. The manmuvring
the whole of this day was more beautiful- than
words can describe ': it seemedlike an intended
grand display of skill by 'two rival chiefs. About
five o'clock in.the even_ag, Lord 'Wellington oh-
served the left flank of the enemy exposed, and
immediately determined upon at attack. The or-
ders were nO sooner given than, executed. The
third divgion, under General: Pakenham, carried a
height, strongly defended by nine guns, in a mas-
terly style. A strong"column of infantry` dvanced
Upon him. The' maneeuVring on this hill was most
beautiful. When the infantry had proceeded to a
certain point, our brigade charged. them. They
peppered us a gocd'deal in the charge, hut we soon
routed them, took their guns, an immense quail-,
City of prisoners,' and some' eagles. Poor Gene-
ral Marchant fell early in this charge. The
battle then became general, and the glOrious re-
sult you will find in Lord Arellington's dispatches.
Had there been- two hours more day-light, we
should have nearly annihilated the wholeFreneh
army. it ilcan ascertained fact, that King Joseph
invited the Grandees of Madrid to 'accOmpany him
to see the annihilation of the ;British army. His
Majesty came forth with'his Grandees, but they
soon thought it prudent to face, a‘Oout, and he
seems now making for his own country.' trust,
'however, we- shall have a breakfast with him ere
long."

Yesterday et Unio-n-liall W. Collar was charged
on alc. infbrnration against bins, for selling beer
_at Pecu.:dm Fair, not Iti'ving a license for that
purpohc. The offence being clearly made out,
he wAsfined la and costs ; but on his promis-
'ing not to offend in future, the Magistfate re-
mitted the-pcnalty.
