Downie;-street; Oct. 25, 1812.

A Dispatch; `pl i'vhich the Following is ft n ex-
tract , has beet) 0;4 (lay received at Bart Bathurst's
care, ttddiessed to his Lohk,hip by General the
Marquis of Viellifigton, dated Villa Toro, llth
o.:tober, 1812.

The enemy hare made t\s-4 sorties in the held
of the sap, between the exterior and interior
lines of the castle of Burgos, in both of which
they materially injured our works, au?i WC Suf-
fered soave loss. In the last, at three in the morn-
lug of the Bth, wehad the misfortune to lose the
Honourable Major Cocks, of the 79th, who was•
field officer oldie trenches, and 'vas killed in the
act of rallying thetroop:4 who had been driven in.
I have frequently had occasion .to draw your.
Lordship's. attention to the conduct of Major
Cocks, and in one instance very recently, in
the attack of the hornwork of the castle of Bur-
gos ; and I consider his loss as one of the great-
est importance to this army and to his Majesty's
service.

Notwithstanding the efforts of the enemy, our
troops are establithed within about ore hundred
yards of the ene►iiy's interior line, which we have
it in our power to assault ; and we have effected a
good breach in another part of the same line,
and our troops are established close to the
breach.

We are carrying on our works under ground,
and I hope that I shall have another mine in rea-
diness in a day or two.
The enenirlare not made any movement to in-
terrupt our operations ; they are still upon the
Ebro.

By the accounts which I-have from Lieutenant-
General Sir Rowland Hill of the 7th instant, it
appears- that Marshal Swat joined Joseph Buona,
parte on the frontier of Valencia and Marcia -on
the 29th September. A detachment of Marshal's
Soult's army occupied Albacete on the 3d instant,
and a small detachment of cavalry was as far for-
ward as Minava on the 6th instant.

1 have not yet heard of General Ballasteros Bay-
ing passed theSit-rra Morena, or at al of his move.
inents since the 17th of September, when be en-
tered Grenada; nor have i heard from Major-
General Coolie, since he received my directions
for the ino'w-ement of the troops under his com-
mand.

I have reports, however that the troops
marched from Seville on the 2.Bth September.
P. S. I have the honour to inclose the rt.turn of
our loss since the- sth ii: tart.
