Tudela, July al, 1812-
9.ltowsiana—The interruption of the communi-
cations with France since the opening of the cam-
paign, having prevented me from giving you the
successive accounts of the events which have passed,
I shall commence this' Report from the moment at
which the English began operations, and I anwing
to have the honour to place before you in detail,' all
the movements which have been executed to the un-
happy event that has just taken place, and which we
were tar from expecting. .
46 In the month of May, 1 was informed the
English army would open the campaign with very
powerful means. I informed the King of it, in
order that he might adopt such dispositions as he
thought proper, and I likewise acquainted General
Caffarelli with it, that he might take measures for
sending me succours when the moment should have
arrived.
44 The extreme difficulty in procuring subsistence,
the impossibility of provisioning the troops when
assembled, prevented me from having more than
eight or nine battalions in Salamanca, but ail were
in readiness to join me in a few days.
44 On the 12th June, the enemy's army passed the
Agueda ; on the 14th, in the morning, I was in-•
formed of it, and the order for assembling Fes given
to the troops.
1 On the 16th, the English army arrived before
Salanianca. In the night between the 16th and 17th,
I evacuated that town, leaving; nevertheless, a gar-
rison in the fortis I had constructed, and which by.
I the extreme activity used in their construction, were
in a state or defence. I marched six leagues from
Salamanca, and there'having collected five divisions,
I approached that town : I drove before rue the Eng-
lish advanced trusts, and obliged the enemy's army
to chew what attitude it reckoned upon taking ; it
appeared determined to fight upon the fine rising
I ground and strong position San Christoval. The re.
! mainder of the army joined me ; I manoeuvred round
! that position,. but I% acquired the certainty, that it
every where presented obstacles difficult to be con-
quered, and that it wee better to force the enemy to
come upon another field of battle, than enter into
, action with thcin upon ground which gave them too
!many advantages; besides, different reasons made
me desire to prolong the operations, for I had just
received a letter from General Caffarelli, which an.
flounced to rue that he bad collected his troops, and
was going to march to succour me, whilst my pre-
sence would have suspended the siege of the fort of
Salamanca.
" Things remained in this state far some days,
and the armies in presence of each other? when the
siege of the fort of Salamanca vigorously recom-
menced. OR account of the trifling distance which
there was between the French army and the place,
`'and by means of the signals agreed upon, I was'every
day informed of the situation of the place. Those
on the 26th and 27th informed me the fort could still
hold mg five days; then I decided to execute the
passage of the Tormes, and act upon the left bank.,
The tort of Alba, which I had carefully preserved,'
gave 'me a passage over shot river, a new line of
operations, and an important point of support. I
made dispositions for executing this passage in the
night between the 28th and 29th.
44 During the night of the 27th the fire redoubled,
and the enemy, fatigued with a resistance which toi
them appeared exaggerated, fired red.hot bails upon
the fort. Unfortunately its magazines contained a
layga quantity or synod, it took fire, and in an instant!
thefort was a vast blaze. It was impossible for the
EirOegarrison who defended it to support, at the
same time, the enemy's attacks and the fire which
destroyed their defences, magazines, and provisions,
and placed the soldiers themselves in the most dread.
fel situation. It was then obliged to surrender at
discretion, after having had the honour of repulsing
two assaults, and causing the enemy the loss of more
than 1,300 men, viz. double their own force. This
event happened on the 28th, at noon.
" The enemy haying no further object by his ope-
ration, passed the 'Formes, and on the contrary, every
thing indicating that, it would be prudent to await
the reinforcements, announced in a formal mannerl

these ke,gularities, and I resolved on remedying

pansy having caused fresh troops to pass from his
left to his rent. 1 ordered the third and fourth di-
trivent in march by the skirts of the wood, in order
that I mig:tt dispose of them as I found needful,—
It was half-past four o'clock, and I went to the plain,
which was to be the object of a serious dispute ; but,
it this moment, a shell struck me, and broke my
right atm, and made two Large wounds on my right
side. I thus became incapable of any kind
Of pare in the command.
" The precious time which I should have em-
lloyed in rectifying the placing of the troops on the
eft, was fruitlessly passed : the absence of the Com.
brander gives biith tit starchy, and from thence pro.
beds disorder. . •
di Meanwhile the time Was running away without
the enemy undertaking any thing. At. length, at 1
five o'clock, the enemyndglng that the situation
was favourable, attacked this 111-farmed left wing I
with impetuosity. The division engaged repulsed
the enemy, and were themselves repulsed in their
turn; but they acted without concert, and without
isethod. The division which I had called to sustain
the first, found themselves in the situation of taking
'art in the combat without having foreseen it,
" Every General makes extraordinary efforts to
tontribute, bfhis own particular dispositions, to such
which are in the whole requisite ; but if lie can attain
it in part, yet be cannot effect it completely. The
artillery coveted itself with glory, performed prodi-
gies of valour, and in the midst of our losses, caused'
the enemy to suffer enormously. He directed his at-
tacks akin:lst Aropiles, which was defended by the
breve 1- 20th regiment, and was there repulsed, leav-
fng more than 800 dead on the spot. At length the
away retires, evacuates the plains, and.retires to the
skirts of the wood. There the enemy makes fresh
efforts. The division of Fuy, which, by the nature
of the busipess, was charged with the covering cf the
retrograde movement, was attacked with vigour, and
constantly repulsed the enemy.
This division merits the greatest eulogy, as does
likewise its General. From this moment the retreat
was effected towards Alba de Tormes, without being
disturbed by the enemy. Our loss amounts to about
6,000 men hors de combos. We have last nine pieces
'ef cannon, which, being dismounted, could not be
tarried off; all the rest of the bagrge, all the park
of artillery, all the materials belonging to the army,
have been brought away.
It is difficult, M. le Due, to express to you the
differs is sentiments which agitated me at the fatal
moment when the vieund which I received caused

Late exchanged this wound for the certainty of re-

taken place? and how necessary the presence of the i
Commander in Chief was at the moment .when the
'chock of the two armies appeare4 to be preparing to
„give the whole direction to the troops, and to appoint

testi oyed the result of six weeks of wise comb' eations,l
of methodical movements, the issue of which had
hitherto appeared certain, and which every thing
seemed to prettge to
,us that we should reap the fruit.

this they made no attempt on us.

success of the army, than from the sufferings which
• they have caused me to endure.
" I cannot do sufficient justice to the bravery with'
Which the Generals and Colonels have fought : to
the good disposition which animated them in that
difficult circumstance. I ought particularly to men-
tion General Bonnet, whose reputation has been so
long established ; I should likewise name General
Tatifin, who commanded the 6th division. General
Clausel, though wounded, did not quit the field of
battle, but to the end gave an example of great per-
sonal bravery. The General of artillery, Terlet, and
Colonel Digeon, commanding the reserve of wa-
tts', particularly distinguished themselves.

• PARIS, SEPTEMBER fa.
The dispatches sent to the Minister at War, by
the Aide-de-Camp of the General-in-Chief of the
Army of Portugal, have informed us of the move-
ments of that army, to the termination of the affair
of Aropiles, near Salamanca; and we have seen,
that the French army having retaken a position be-
hind the Douro, the enemy made no fut then demon-
stration, which announced the project of acting
offensively.
