• REPORT OF COMMANDER MADRID,

•tiATED TARLIA, APIfIL IS.
On the 14th ;in thiatterndon, I appeared ',hefore
the Gallinazo Gate, to the west of this town, hav-
ing completely surprited the enetty, who had never
perceived ohr march. A league before I arrived
22 the above point, I sent forward Capt. Toro with
iris coMpftny-, tegether with Captains Colet and
Carrascq, 'with their respective companies of To-
cntuart 'dragoons, Capt. Ruiiof the Gauchos of
Santa Victnria-, with 40 men, giving theft orders
to take post at tire Carrerai Fields, fur the purpose
of preventlng the junction of the enemy's cavalry,
posted in'llte Valley of Conception, five leagues
distant froth the town. A 3 soon as the enemy
perceived my approach with two pieces of artil-
lery, he "sallied .6tit tb meet Mc with two hun-

tired men, when I instantly ordered the heights
of San 'Juan, Situated to the north of the
'town, to be , occupied by one of our parties.—
, A smart Actitin ensued, the result of which was,
that the Royalists retreated to their intreneh-
snen7s, which they `ad previously well fortified,
ntemdinv to the orders transmitted to theta
by the Sppit-ish Commander-in-Chief, General
Serra, leaving three killed behind them. A•
soon as we had, mounted our artillery, our
re opened upon them, and in a short time
we were fortunate enough to dislodge the enemy
from the opposite back of the river which sepa-
rated os, I then sent in an ,intimation to sur-
reder to the Commander the town, a copy of
which, and of o,e answer, I now inclose. Hav-
ing read the la ter, I ordered Captain Garcia, -of
the second Hussars, to march towards the heights
of Sao Juan, and form a junction with the
party already posted there, in order to - sus-
tain it by every possible means. Captain
Otero was directed to dismount and seize
on • the hank of the river, Whilit another
party with a piece of artillery, under the command
of .Captain Segovia, advanced towards the suburbs
on the welt. These diovements were all executed
in a rapid and brilliant nianuek, and the enemy
soon c,onpelled to abandon hi.:: front intrench-
merits and retteat to the main-square, whither
they were followed by our parties. Night having
come on, and learning the too advanced positions.
occupied by our troops, I iiarehed up with my-
small nody of reserve as far as the Carreras field,
Fearful of any contusion during the night, I or
dered the advances to fall back till morning, and
occuyy our first position at the Gailioazo Gate.

At day-break, I ordered Capt. Otero again to OCCII•
py the haighta of San Juan, and pushed an advance
into the streets of San Francisco and Sun Augustin,
all which was subeessfully done. I then proceeded
iii person to the position held by Capt. Otero, and
thence MapatChed t*b companies to dislodge the
enemy from the fOrtifications he had raised in the
Chapel of St. Roque, and the strongest position he
held: The charge wag so bold and rapid, that
notwithstanding the heavy file they had to encoun-
ter, our people effected a lodgment attiong some
out-dwellings, 10 or 12 yards distant from the said
fortifications. Our artillery was then directed
against the Chapel and the Hall of the Nlunici-
pality with the greatest stiecess, hut when at nine
o'clock I Was making my preparations to attack
the enemy's intrenchments at the point of the
bayonet, a part tat* the enemy's cavalry, with a
5 !Vali division of infantry, appeared
..on the plain
of La Tahlada in our right. My attention being
called to this unexpected mot-ernent,_ I arranged
311. y disposable hoops :and marched forward to
meet them, at the moment they were making a
charge upon us under the cover of a heavy fire.
ordered -the charge eipaity to be sounded, tone-
Hier kvith the signal of no 1 qaarter, when a very
AV I'M action ensued. The. enemy .I.th 60 men on
the field, -and among themawo officers; 40 pri-
sonei s ako fell into our hands, all their armament,
and a considerable :Mather of horses, &e.
As soon as this-ohjeet bad been attained,. I re-
turned to my old position, and sent in to the Com-
mander of the town fonr of the prisoners I had
just made, in order that they might inform hint
of the fate his cavalry had met, as .well as of the
brave manner in which our defenders of their
ct.unt ry fought. I then made a second intima-
tion to him, through the medium of Capt. Garcia,
and be deemed it most prudent not to risk the
coasequences of an assault. lie therefore deter-
mined to march out i.vith all the force he had left,
i'iZ. 334 men, 3 Lieuta.Colonels, including the

- • -
Co7illuatirler, 3 Captains, 2 Adjutants," 4 Lieute-
mit)ts, arid 8 ET:signs, all of whom grounded their
hrms, and delivered themselves up as prisoners.—
We have besides taken 400 muskets, &c. &c.

REPORT OF GENERAL TURAS TO THE SUPREME
GOVERNMENT OF CHILL
This day, at four in the morning, I received
notice frotu the swan advaucvd post of observa,,

tion 1 had established in Penco, that the enemy
had made a naval attack on that place. At six,
his first division from the heights of Chepe was
seen advancing, composed of 800 fusileers and
three 4-pounders, ant] at 'eight the second was
descried, consisting of 606 men and two pieces of
aI
I had taken -016 my position on the heights Of
Gavi Arn tte lett flank of which, towards
Chepe, I had established a battery of three pieces
of tattoo!) and one bowitter, and in the fortifica-
(loos corresponding to the right, towards the send
plains of 'Conception; • I had mounted another
piece of artillery and one howitzer.
As soon as the enemy's first division %%Tab &-
seek!), it began the attack with some warmth,
which lasted till ten o'clock', when it was repulsed
by our artillery. The enemy; however, soon ral-
lied and returned to tile attack, pushing Chassenrs
at the head of his column; and a piece of artillery
in thecentit. The other two remaining pieces were
moenttd on the heights of Chepe, from whence
%se were exposed to a galling fire. This movement
on the part of the enemy; plainly indicated to me
that it was his intention to advance on the city by
the left flank of my line, which I ordered [6 wheel
towartls him as far as the irregularity. of the
ground Would alio*, at the same time directing
the mounted grttiadiers to charge sword in hand
on the enemy's chasseurs. This charge Was ex-
ecuted with the greatest dexterity and suc-
cess, and compelled the enemy to retreat to
the foot of the heights of Chepe. Ele, how-
ever, made a .second attempt, and again the
mounted grenadiers rushed to the charge, and sup.
ported by the 4th company of the ; I th regiment,
made hint fall hack no the declivity of the said
heights, from whence his descent was prevented.
In this state of things I detached 50 men of the
ad, to harass the left flank of his line, whither
be had brought back his first piece of artillery,
and this was well executed. The cavalry was
then ordered to support this detachment and change
its :position; by which means the enemy was tin-
der the necessity of retreating or being cut off,
and he preferred doing the first..
In the mean time the Penco division above men-
tioned, attacked the fortifications on our left flank
with musketry and artillery. This position was
c7ommanded by the brave Lieut.-Colin-id Freyze,
who,. with lOU men of the ith and Bth be had
brought with him from Mendoza, -sallied out to
receive the coetny, and was afterwards, reinforced
by two grenadier companies of the ilth. He at-
tacked the ethany at the point of the bayonet, took
from hint his two pieces of artillery, and routed
him completely an .bour before the other division
had terininated the contest.
In the combinations of the enemy's plan of
attack he aiso relied on the forces lie had on the
other side of the river Diobto, posted iii•t he fort-
rest, of San Pedro. In conformity to, these ar-
rangements, during the action th'ree launches anti
an eqin,l nuniber of rafts came out, with one piece
of cannon, and advancedtwo-thirds across the
iver, untiouhtedly for the purpose of landing them
at a seasonable time, hut when they saw the de-
feat of their companions, they were glad to
