" Pencorbo, Oct. 15.

er My Lord.---IBeing desirous to make known to
the garrison of the fort of Burgos, that the army
was at hand. both 'to succour them, and thereby
encourage, thein.to continue their fine defence, 1,
on the 13th of this month, m tiered General Ma-
neusib to attack the English vanguard.hy passing
by Castil de Peones Quintanavidcs, and ta,push
them as far as Mona.stino..

‘4 I likewise gave orders to the General of Di-
vision, M. Foy, to carry by main force Poza,
which is occupied by the troops of Castanos.
These attacks which were combined, have both
been equally successful. General- Curto, cons-
milder of the light cavalry, has received orders
to move forward before Vibenza on -Roxa, to
support this movement, and be ready to act where-
ever needful. The result of these attacks has been
advantageous tor the Army of Portugal. The
enemy had 400 killed and wounded. We have
taken from him 140 prisoners, of which five arc
officers. We have likewise taken a pair of co-
lours, some baggage, and 20 horses. On our side
we have only 4 men killed and 26 wounded, and
lost some horses.

" I have the honour, to be, &c.

NERAL COUNT CAFFARELLI, COMMANDER OF THE

ARMY OF THE NORTH.

" Brviesca, Oct. 21.

" MY LORD—Since yesterday we are In pre-
Bence of each- ether ; the army of'Portugal oc-
cupies the heights of Monasteiro, and we can see
the camps of the enemies. .The two armies of
Portugal and the North can be in line within
twenty-four hours. Our cavalry is remarkably
fine ; the artillery is very ninuerons, and in excel-
lent condition.

" Yesterday afternoon we drove back all the ad-
vanced Iposts Of the enemy ; our soldiers lave
shewn a great deal of ardour, and the cannon
should have been heard at the fort of Burgos,
which still continues to make a most obstinate
defence : and which, according to -all reports,
caused the enemy a loss of more than four thou;
sand Men. It is asserted that the enemy having
raised a battery of four 24-pounders, they were
immediately dismounted, one only excepted ; but
which is no longer fired. The enemy have lost
several Officers of note, and in particular, a Major
Murray, of the 42d regiment (Highlanders). I
hope that the fort will soon be relieved, and I
shall then, request of your Excellency, in laying
before you ajournal of the siege, an honourable
recompense for General Du Breton and 'for the
officers and soldiers who have behaved themselves
so valiantly,
I have the honour to he, &c.

derable part of one regiment of the Grand Duchy
of Berg. All these troops were remarkable for
their good appearance and martial ardour.
Letters • from Moscow. bearing date the 15th

Dave found in that city a vast quantity of furs and

pelisses, and the magazines of the army are well
provided. his Majesty the 'Emperor, who, is
continually in good health, often passes the fe-
iri6vs. The different corps keep a InOst superb
appearance, and one would scarcely : believe that
they Kaye just made a caulp'_+.ign in which they
braved, with as n'-ittch audacity as courage,. every
fil _
tigue anddanger.-
.The officers and soldiers are full of_ardour and
devotion to their August Sovereign.

DISPATCH FROM THE DUKE OF ALEUPERN TO

THE MINISTER AT W%R

" VALENCIA, OCT. 17.—1 n the night I.,etween
the 4th and sth inst. the English General Do
Quarter-Master General of. tl:e Auglo-Spauis
Army, disembarked near the heights of:St. Nico-
las, before Denea, with the st regiment of the
line ; some, gunners and other trOops, to; the
amount of from 1000 to 1200 men and two pieces
of cannon ; two 74-gun ships, a, brig of Ivar, and
several gun boats and smaller vessels, protected
the disembarkation without gun-Shot of the. fort.
These troops_ formed behind a ravine, established
a battery, and towards morning marched-in co-
limns upon Denea, driving in the advanced posts,
who slowly retired disputing the ground.
The. Chief of the Artillery battalion, Bona-
foux, superior Commandant at Denea, had, from
break of -day, discovered the enemy, and'. made
with his garrison dispositions of defence, corn=
posed of the 117th'Regiment. The English Ge::
neral summoned it. The Cornmandant Bona-
' foux coolly replied, that be waited the effect.of
his threats ; at the same time, with his handful'
of brave men, he resolved-tdmarch upon the ene-,
my, profiting by the arrival of. the Captain of the
117th Voltigeurs, Faubert; who, on- the report of
the fire, ran with his, company ; beinarched it-on
the left of the enemy to turn it, and, with the.re-
mainder, attacked
_them in front. This. double
movement made the enemy recede; who. precipi-
tately embarked their cannon, and approached the
shore, ordering the boats to approach theLland.
We pursued them with so much vigour, that
theyleft four
.killed and eight wounded on the
heights of St. Nicolas,. and ran in crowds into the
water, in order to escape more onickly' under
the protection, of the fire ~of their vessels, and
of the grenadiers of the "81st, who formed on
the beach in order to' arrest us, but the French
precipitated thernsclves • upon them with so much
'vigour, that they overthrew them, and caused
them a considerable loss
.before they could it-etn,
bark. The enemy had in all thirty killed, •and
nearly eighty wounded; -on our side we had one
killed, and 15 wounded. Informed of this attack
of the English, I ordered the Generatof Division,
Hobert, to march the necessary troops thither,
Who found nothing to combat, and in the mean-
while charged Genesal Harispe to annoy and re-.
conuoitre the enemy to the walls of Alicantv This
movement was executed on the Bth of. October,
by the light cavalry brigade, the artillery,.'Mise
lop's brigade, Robert's- division, and the cuiras-
siers from Bovildo and Montforte, hear St. Vi-
eenti, in sight of the place, and Anglo-Espanolo
army. Gen. Harispe executed several movements,
to draw the 'enemy from theif position., iii order
to fight them, the soldiers, anxiously desired to
come to blows, but these means did. notsucceed ;
he-ordered some platoons of the 4th hussars to
charge the 4dvanced troops. Four or five dis-
charges of Cannon supported this movement, and
two 'companies 'of the 7th Voltigents.advanc-
ed to support them; but they had_ ,not
:single trigger to pull. The Hussars charged the
cavalry in the midst of the infantryin.the'gardens,
ravins, and behind the houseii. killed some fifty
then„,and brought back,thirty prisoners, of whiCh
two were officers,;.an English Captain and Liett-.
tenant ; they likwise. took from 15 to 20 horses;
The General of Division, Harispe, satisfied with
having
,shewn the fine disposition of his troops,-
took in -open day the road to his positions; -slept
at Montforte, still ready to receive battle, but he
was not followed; he has 'returned to the camp of
the 2d division.
