form your Excellency, that in. the ~night of the.
20th and 21st of October, M. .LACY,. with 3000.
Spaniards, attacked the town of.Olot, the ave-
nues of which were guarded by the detached posts
of Fort. St. Francois, where there is a garrison,
under the orders of M. NonuEs, chief of battalion,
in The 11th of the line. This Officer being ill at
the time of the departure of his regiment, could
not follow-the movement of his corps, and I eon-,
fided to him the command of the post of Olot.
The Spaniards marched upon Olot in four
columns—that which arrived by the road of RipOli
forced the advanced post, which hatlr not time to
put down the cheecux de, rise, and the:enenlys ca-
valry penetrated that opening to the great Market
place.
" Our troops, who were in order of battle,
animated by the presence of the Chief of Battalion
NOGUES, and the Captain of grenadiers RoBERzoT,
of the 102 d, charged• and' pursued the caValry.
Another column, which had taken possession of •
the chapel, to cut off the communication•of the
troops remaining in the fort, and those which had,
gone down into the town, was in like manner
overthrown. During this time the 13th and 4th,
columns, which had penetrated by the garden.
wall, had formed in the other market place ; our
troops marched upon them, and soon put them to
. flight.
At break of day there were no more enemies
in the town, ants M. Lkcvs who had remained in

gracefully, 'taking. with him 6Q wounded, and the
3000 men who 'had been beaten by• a considerable
less number of French, though attacked in the
night. Twelve Spanish horsemen were left dead
on the place. We had in this. affair 21 wounded
and three killed. It does the greatest honour to
the officers and soldiers of the garrison, and parti-
. cularlarly,to M. NOGUES, Chief of Battalion, in

DE CAEN, GOVERNOII-'GENERAL OF CIaALONIA,

TO HIS' EXCELLENCY THE • DUKE DE •FELTRE,

MINISTER AT WAR.

" Barcelonl, Nov. 10.
"_ MONSEIGNEUR—As I had the honour to in-
form your`Excellency, in my report, dated Vich,
sth oF this month, I occupied myself in preparing
ha this city a supply of provisions for six days, to
enable me afterwards to regulate my movements
according to circumstances.
" I began my march on the 14th in the morn-
ing, and 1 inclined upon Moya and Casteltersol,
where the enemy had been assembled, during a
,part of my stay at Vich. LACY had set out on
the 116,' and proceeded towards Esparaguera
and Igualada. '
Baron D'EROLES had returned to the camp of
Tarragona, and a corps of about 1000 ;men had
marched towards Ripoli.
On the 15th I advanced towards Manresa where
I rem ained on the 17th.

Having learned from reconnoitring that the
enemy appeared assembled on the side of Mount
Serrat,A began my march on the 18th in the
morning, I proceeded towards the , position of
Casa nlssana, which closes the road from; lan-
resa to Esparaguera..
From -the preparations which 'the enemy had
Mailk:'to,waii for me at this point, it appeared
.that he seriously intended to dispute with us the
passage. There 'were abattis entrenchments a
league in advance of the principal position, and
a wall raised to. join the height of Casa Massana ;
but all these' obstacles on which the enemy ap-
peared to reckon much, , could not retard our
march a single hour.
" I ordered General LEMARQUE to cause the
'position to be turned on the right ; he sent thither
two battalions under the orders of M. BOUZiLLON,
Chief of Battalion in the 79th regiment. , This
movement, executed with intelligence, determined
the enemy not to remain behind his entrenchments;
General BEURMANS marching immediately to
Casa Massana at the head of the GOth
rei-
nient, experienced little resistance.

The insurgents, 'who appeared to be in number
between 2 and 3000, retreated in several direc-
tions. We lost in this attack an officer of Chas- .
seurs of GERONNE, who was killed, and. we had
dozen wounded. The brigade EXPERT,WhiCh form-
ed the rear-guard is going out of Manresa,
had its rear-troops assaulted by several hun-
dreds, of armed peasants ; but two companiei of
voltigeurs properly placed did much mischief to
those peasants, and soon 'disgusted them of their
pursuit ;, they however killed us 4. men.
" 1 reassembled my troops the same evening at

Esparaguera.
" On the 19th I marched uponMartoral, whence
I directed the brigade EXPERT to proceed to Te-
rassa, upon which place I had been informed that
LAcy had marched. I arrived the same day. at
Barcelona, and cantoned the division of
,IJA-
MkRQUE in *the envirous of that place, in order
that it might receive provisions.
• " I am, &c.
