I have the honour to enclose, for y,o-ur Lord-
ship's information, a copy of a letter wttich I have
just received from Sir Howard Douglas.
I feel a great degree of satisfaction that the
Earl of Wellington should have so handsomely
marked his approbation, of the services of the
squadron which your Lordshkip has placed under
'my-orders,- and. 1 ant not..a littlehappy at hav-
ing anticipated the wishes of his :Lordship.

The army is advanciu4.; head-quarters at Cuel-
lar. The enemy still retiring; having abandoned
Valladolid irith 4000 sick -and wounded, .and
stores, ammunition, &c. We are now a. p. n: of
the Allied army.
I had an opportunity, in a long conference with
Lord Wellington, of giving a detailed account of
your operations ; r..qd am ha!ppy, tO inform you,
that his Lordship satisfied of the use they
have been of to his movements. An intercepted
letter from Caffarelli proves; this, by.stating,' in
answer to an order he, had rcceivM tapin Mar-
mont, that aßritish artnament being on the.enat,
he could not detach a single man ;- indeed some
troops which he had already sent, were recalled
on the appearance of our squadron. •
