Samatan, Mardi 25, 1814.

The enemy continued his retreat after the affair
near Tarbes, on the 20th, during the night and fol.
lowing days, and arrived yesterday at Toulouse.—
Their troops have marched with such celerity, that,
excepting the advanced guard of the cavalry attached
to Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland Hill's corps,
under Major-General Fane, who attacked the enemy's
rear guard at St. Gaudens, our *troops have never
been able to come up with them. I inclose Major-
General Fane's report to Lieutenant-General Sir Row-
land Hill of this affair, which is highly creditable to
the Isth light dragoons.

Borde, 9 Nu. Mirth 22.
Sig—Having advanced as ordered, I came up with
the enemy's rear guard, about one league from St.
G.. udens. It was supported by four or five squa-
drons of dragoons, formed urn the height in front
of the town.

With two squad! ons of the 13th light dragoons,
supported by part of the 3d dragoon guards, I drove
in their advance, and their support having rernalned
too long in front of St. Gaudens, the lath dragoons
were enabled to come up with it. They charged the
enemy's .squadrons with the greatest gallantry, and
drove them through the town. The enemy having
again formed beyond the town, they were again at-
tacked, and pursued more than two miles.
A namber of the enemy have been killed, and one
hundred and two men, and about the same number of
horses, taken. Thirty of the men are badly wounded.
Captain M'Allister, who led the advance, much dis-
tinguished himself, and nothing could exceed the bra.
very and good conduct of itte whole of the regimen•.
had reason to be much satisFed with the conduct
' of Brigade Major Dunbar, who was amongst the fore-
most in the attack.
My loss has been very trifling ; I hope not more
than four or five wounded. 1 have tb.e honour to
be, 4c. (Signed) H FANE, Major. General.

The enemy retired into'roulouse upon the approach
of our troops on the 28th ult. They had fortified
the suburb on the left of rhe Garonne, as a tete-de.
pout, which they occupied ru considerable force ;
and the remainder of the army is in the town, or im-
mediately behind it.
The great tall of r.cin in the course of the last and
4ie beginning of th!... week, and the melting of the
sanw is the • mountains, have increased the river to
such a des nee, and renders the current so rapid, as to
frotrate all'our endeavours to lay our bridge below
the town.

According tonsy last accounts from Bourdeaus of
the 16th, his Majesty's ships had not yet entered the
river. Nothing of importance ofacurred lately in
Catalonia. ,
