Slll--4, have the honour to detail to you the
opeeetons of the 'detachment under my com-
mand, from the time of its leaving hie Majesty's

Atter the hams left the ship, oo tyro night of the
girt irtSt• ‘every nosstoleexerti4.n was made by Lieu-
tenant J fferies, to charge, to accomplish a landing
before Oat-break, with a view of taking Fort Kayo
Meirah hi surprise ; hiding, hewever, 'hat so tie-
eitable an objett could not be effeaed, I, direeled
hint to proceed to Sate (which is situated behind a
point of land) where we landed without molestation
about seven A. M. Lieutenant Charles Forbes then
moved forward xithe.party to occupy the Heights,
where he remained until the gun ammunition could
be brought up this becumea fatiguing service, fittm
the steepnvss of the hills and deep ravines. About
noon, after incredible' labour, we gained a command.;
ing position near the sea, where we rested about two
hours. Having left a party here to keep up the
octintnonication with the, ship, we proceeded of e to
(recopy a height, and to command Fort Kayo Mel-
rah, and which was pointed. OUI as the spot taken
up by the English last war ; but to our great morti-
teatime , Our gaining, it we found that the trees
had grown so much as to preclude entirely our, see-
ing the tort; in the mean time we sierceived the
flag of truce hoisted ~on board his AtjeSly'is strip
Dever. .Being determined, in the event of the tile-
my's not, agreeing to the, surnmoos, to gain imme-
diate' pooession of Fort Kayo Meirah, I ordered one
hundred inert, with a double scaling ladder, to be
in readiness to storm. The moment I received your
loiter, itichpeog the Governor's refusal, I proceeded
on about seven o'clock P. M. with this party, keep-
ing the inland road. After advancing some little
w:iy, we found it impossible to proceed tardier, ow-
. bet to immense trees, cut down. by the enemy, and
throwo acro,s the road. I then turned to the right,
and after great labour reached the beach; and about
ten o'Cluek strived within 'nearly 800 yards of the
fo t Ondiscovereel. ,We had not advanced' b 0 yartis
farther, before the enemy's nut-sentty feed his mus-
ket, • Immediately after, a dpachtnent el. the tete-
eny, v.itir a brigade of guns,. fired a volley. We
now pushed forward, keeping nit'o•iire of mnsketry
which drove them off.

rmihketry, notwithstandieg, which we crusted the
ditch, arid placed the ladder on the flank of the
bastion, 4)11 the right of tire bridge, under a brisk
tire from the opposite b4stien. The walls Were
sealed, arid the fort carried instantly,. and an officer
and tie prisoners secured. As soon as daY-light ap•
peered, the butt'-ry of Kota Marro opened a fire;
toe distance however was trio far to do any damage.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1811.

Last night an Officer.arrived at Lord Lityaarooei
Odice in Downing-street, with Dispatches from
Lord WeLLINGTON. His Lordship's letter is dated

at Albuera,anthet2th ult. It slates, we understand,

4t SouLT having colleaedreinforcernents' from all

quarters, was again advancing in considerable force,
for the purpose of relieving Badajoz ; and that his

Lordship,not`derniing,it eipedient to engage the ene-
my
iht vicinil of that fortress (both because
the le veground would be favourable for C.e French

cavalry, and because' the garrison might co-operate
with tile• lliench army), had advanced to ARA-len,
and taken i position there, in which be had deter-

mined to give battle to the French. Under these

cir►umstances it had been found necessary to rai4o

the siege of Badajoz, but a corps has been left to
blockdde it. We stated some days ago our opinion

that, in the event of the French-again advancing hi
force, the siege must be suspended.- The next pac-
ket will in all probability bring us most important
news, because, upon the result of the battle which

is about to belought, depends not only the fate of
Baclajnz, but of Andalusia, and all the Southern
and Eastern provinces of Slain. '

We this morning received Portuguese Papers to
he laths from which wq. have made time ex.
rata.

A very interesting discussion took place last night
in the House of Lords, upon Lord STANHOI3'S Bill,
We have not room Lto oiler any observations
upon the' subject, .we can therefore Only refer our
'leaders to the debate.

The Gazette of last night contains the Official Ac-
coonts of some of the glorious atchievements'which
have been performed by out galldnt countrymen in
the Eat. We were acquainted with many of the
facts before, but the details will, we are sure, be read
with pleasure and admiration►
