11116 FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

VAIr DaVA TITNI ENT.
DOWMI4O4ritEET, JANUARY 27.

A Dispatch, of which the following is an extract, was this mora-
ls's eceivcd at Lord Livaitroox's Office, addressed to his
Lordship by General Viscount WELLINGTON, dated

Gallegos, January 9, IBM

_ .
I invested Ciudad Rodrigo yesterday. Since the
enemy have had possession of the place they have con-
structed a palisadoed redoubt on the hill of St. Fran-
cisco, and have fortified three convents in the suburb,
the defences of which are connected with the work on
the hill of St. Francisco, and with the old line by
which the suburb was surrounded. , By these means
the enemy have increased the difficulty of approach-
ing the place ; and it was necessary to obtain posses-
sion of the work on the hill of St. Francisco before
we could make any progress in our attack.
Accordingly Major-General Craufurd directed a
detachment of the light division, under the command
of Lieutenant-Colonel Colbourne, of the 52d Regi.
ment, to attack the work shortly after it was dark.
The attack was very ably conducted by Lieut.-Colo-
nel Colbourn, and the work was taken by storm in
a shot t time—two Captains and 47 men were made
prisoners, and the remander of the garrison were put
to the sword. We took three pieces of cannon. I
cannot sufficiently applaud the conduct of Lieutenant
Colonel Colbourne, and of the detachment under his
command, upon this occasion.

I altn happy to add, that our loss in this affair has
not been severe, six men having been killed. Captain
Mein and Lieutenant Woodgate, cf the 52d, Lieute-
nant Hawksley, of the9sth, and fourteen men having
been wounded.

The success of this operation enabled us imme-
diately to break ground within 60() yards of the
place, notwithsanding that the enemy still held the
Fortified convents—and the enemy's work has been
turned into a part of our first parallel, and a good
communication made with it.

Leutenant-General Hill arrived at Merida on the
S":th December. He had hoped to surprise General
Dombrouski (who I had been led to imagine was
killed in General Hill's last affair with the enemy)
in that town ; but his advanced guard was disco-
vered on the 29th by a patrole from a small detach-
ment of the enemy, which happened to be at La
Nava, which effected its retreat to Merida, notwith-
standing the efforts of a detachment of Lieutenant-
General cavalry to prevent it.
General Dombrouski retired from Merida in the
night, leaving a magazine of bread and 160,0001bs of
-wheat in the town, and several unfinished works which
the enemy had been constructing.
On the Ist, General Hill moved forward with the
intention of attacking General Drcuet, who com-
mands the sth corps, atAlmendralejo. This General,
however, retired upon Zafra, leaving a magazine in
the town, containing 450,0001b5. of wheat and some
barley. On the 3d, Lieutenant-General Hill sent a de-
tachment, ce nsisting of the 28th Regiment and two
squadrons of the 2d Hussars, some squadrons of the
10th Portuguese cavalry to Fuente del Maestre, under
the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Abercromby.—
Our cavalry defeated a body of the enemy's cavalry
which was theri ; having taken two officers and 30
men prisoners.

Lieutenant• General Hill having found that Gene-
va Drouet had retreated upon Lierena, and that it
would be impossible for him to follow to a greater dis-
tance, returned to Merida on the sth, in order to
place the troops under his command in betttr can-
tonments during the bad weather.
I have the honour to inclose letters from Lieute-
nant General Hill, of the 3uth of December, 2d and
6th of Januiry, giving an account of his operations,
returns of killed and wounded, &c.

Merida, December SO.

M Loin—ln pursuance of your Lordship% instruc-
tions, I put the troops under my orders in march
from their several cantonments, and entered this pro-
vince'on the '27th instant by Albuquerque, Villa de

key, and St. Vicente ; and by the intelligence which
I received from various quarters, I was led to enter-
tain the most sanguine hopes that I should have been
able to surprise the enemy's troops stationed in this
town. I was, however, disappointed in my expecta-
tions, by finding in La Nava, on our approach to
that village yesterday, with the column from Albu-
querque, a party of the enemy, consisting of about
Soo V( ltigeurs and a few Hussars, being part of a
detachment which had arrived there the night pre-
ceding, avarently on a plundering excursion, the
remainder whereof has proceeded to Cordi.,allas, an-
other village about two leagues distant.
A patrule from La Nava fell in with the head of
our column, and gave the alarm to the detachment,
ve.ich immediately commenced its retreat towards
Merida, followed by the cavalry of my advanced
giiard, consisting of betwten 3 and 41X,t of the 13th
tight dragoons and 2d hussars.
As I considered the intercepting of the entire of
this party to be of the greatest impol lance to our ul-
terior operations, I directed the cavalry abovemen-
tioned to make every effort to effect it, or at least to
check its march until the arrival of some infantry.
The intrepid and admirable manner, however, in
which the enemy retired, his infantry formed in
square, and favoured as he. was by the innate of the
country, of.which he knew how to take the-fullest
advantage, prevented the cavalry alone from acct.

ing any thing against him, and after following him
for upwards of a league, and making an ineffectual
attempt to break him, I judged it advisable to give
over the pursuit, and he effected his retreat, with the
loss of about 20 killed, and as many wcunded, from
four nine-pounders, which, by the great exertions of
Major Hawker, and his officers and men, got within
range, and followed him for some distance, but
were unable to close upon him, owing to the deep-
ness of the country.
One wing of the 71st light infantry, under Lieu-
tenant Colonel the Honourable H. Caftan, also
exerted themselves in a most laudable manner to
overtake the enemy, but were at too great a dis-
tance to admit of their accomplishing it in any rea-
sonable time.

The arrival of the above-mentioned party at Me-
rida, made the enemy acquainted with our approach,
of which I have reason to think he was before entirely
ignorant, and he in consequence evacuated the town
during the night, leaving unfinished some works
which he was cor,ssructin; for its defence, andove
entered it in the course of the day.
I regret to state that we had two men killed, and
some wounded in the affair of yesterday, of which I
enclose a leturn.—l have, &c.

Extract of a Letter from General Hill to Lord Viscount Welling-

, ton, dated Almendralejo, Jan. 2, 1812,

Since my letter to your Lordship from Merida of
the 30th ult. I have the honour to report, that horn
all the information I had received, I had reason to
suppose, that Drouet was concentrating his troops at
this place, I consequently moved on yesterday for the
purpose of attacking him. On my approach to the
town, I found that the greattr part of the enemy's
troops had moved off the preceding day, is the direc-
tion of Villa Franca, and that his rear-guard was on
its march, coveted by his cavalry, which skirmished
with the hussars of my advanced guard, and retired
after receiving a few rounds from the horse artillery.
In this town we found a few stores, of which the
enclosed is a return. I thought it possible the enemy
might have afforded me an opportunity of doing
something here.

MY LORD—My letter of the 2d and 4d inst. would
acquaint your Lordship of my having, on the Ist
inst. marched with the corps under my command to
Almendralejo, in the hope that Count d'Erlon, who
had collected the greater part of his troops at that
place, might have given me an opportunity of coming
in contact with him, as well as of my disappointment
in that respect, he having previously fallen back in
the direction of Lerena, leaving only a small rear-
guard in Almendralejo, whicn retired also on our
approach.

I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that
it was my intenti(m to have followed the enemy, and,
failing in my desire to bring him to action, to have
given him every possible annoyance in his retreat;
but the dreadful state of the weather, the condition
of the roads (which are daily becoming worse), and
the consequent difficulty of getting up my supplies,
render any further operations on my part impossible
for the present, without incurring risks, and making
sacrifices, greater than could have been justified by
the occasion, or by your Lordship's instructions. I
therefore determined, after halting two days at Al-
mendralejo, and oceupying Villa Franca and Fuente
del Maestre, to put the troops into cantonments in
this town and neighbourhood, there to await a more
Lavourable opportunity of acting ; trusting that the
alafm occasioned to the enemy by the movement
already made, will have in part effected one of the
objects with which I was instructed by your Lord-
ship to take the field.

A part of the troops accordingly returned here
yesterday, and the remainder are now on their march;
the enemy being, by the last accounts which I have
received, also in full march towards the south, his
rear-guard having left Zafra and Los Santos yes-
terday.

I have the satisfaction to enclose, for your Lord-
ship's information, a letter from the Honourable
Lieutenant-Colonel Abercromby, detailing the par-
ticulars of a successful attack, made by some of the
2d hussars and Portuguese cavalry acting miler his
orders at Fuente del Maectre, on a body of the ene-
my's dragoons, which reflects the greatest credit on
Lieutenant-Colonel Abercromby who directed, and
the officers and son-commissioned officers'and men
who executed it. I have, &c.

(Signed)

R. HILL.

Merida, January 5, 1812.
Sia—ln obedience to your orders, I marched on
the 3d instant from Almendralejo at noon, with the
column you did me the honour to place under my
command, and reached Fuente del Maestre at a little
after four o'clock on the evening of that day. On
my arrival, 1 learned that some of the enemy's ca-
valry were still in the neighbourhood; and having
passed through the town, L halted the column, and
proceeded to reconnoitre in front. About 100 of the
enemy's horse were discovered on the Los Santos
road, who, apparently ignorant of our force, formed
squadron ruin advanced towar. s us. The Portu-
guese cavalry exchanged a few shots with them until
the hussars were brought up ; the enemy then halted,
and sheaved a disposition to charge ; in this, however,
he was quickly frustrated. The two squadrons dile

hussars were formed on the fight, and one squadron of
the 10th Portuguese cavalry on the left. Instantly the
enemy were charged oi one flank by the squadron
of Portuguese under Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell,
and by Captain Cleves's squadron on the other. The
right hussar squadron remained in reserve. A few
minutes decided the contest. The enemy being com-
pletely routed, left in our hands two officers and 30
men, besides several killed. The squadron which
remained in reserva was then sent in pursuit as far
as prudence would allow.

No language of mine can do sufficient justice to
the gallantry of Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell, as
well as that of Lieutenant Hutchinson, the other of-
ficers and men composing the squadron of Portu-
guese cavalry. Suffice it to say, that on this occa-
sion the hussars under Major Busche upheld the high
military character they are so universally known to
possess.

This little affair has b n atchieved with very tri-
fling lo'.s on our side.
Inclased I have the honour to transmit to you a
list of the killed and wounded. ( Signed)
