sions of the army, composing the following corps, to
be ready to march at two o'clock the next morning :
six. First Division—Guards, and Colonel 1-Im.xxv's
German Corps; 'Fifth Division—Royals, 4th, 9th,
38th, 47th, 591,,, with one brigade of Portuguese.i—
These troops formed two brigades; commanded by
Generals Her and WALKER. The 95th, 4.3 d, 512 d,
and one briga'tle of Portuguese infantry, formed the
'Light Division, commanded by General CHARM
4i4r1.4. Accordingly. these corps, at the hour apfi
pointed, marched-to the BidassoaSeparateal
• Bpain from Fiance), fOrding is in eight divisions,-at
Arun, in'front of Bayonne.
The enemy had become so unsusplcious bf any such I
movement being intended, that they were in,a manner
unprepared to defend their lines, which our troops at-
tacked and carried in the most gallant style.; the:.
enemy's troops, which consisted of twelve thousand
men, retreating upon their second line, with the loss
of about 200 killed and wounded, 500 prisoners, and
three field-pieces. The 13ritish loss vas about 400
Milled and wounded. The 9th Regiment, whichled,
suffered most. No Officer fell. On the next day,
the enemy attempted to regain their lost position, but
were.repulsed ; and 'Lord WELLINGTON intended, on
the 11th, to attack the fortified Convent of La Reune,
which is sitated on• the o p of an almost inaccessible
mountain; this would make his line complete, and
pillect the object Fe seems at present to have in view.
position is about- three leagues in front° of
Bayonne, between the Bidassoa and the Nivelle. The
enemy's army now occupies a line in the rear, and
one in advance beyond. The one they have been de.
prived of is hutted, and affords very comfortable '
quarters for our troops. The picquets of the British
army have approached to within a league and a half
of Bayonne. It was his Lordship's intention to rest
his left upon St. Jean de Luz, which was SdUL?'s
bead-quarters when he forced the passes to relieve St.
Sebastian's and Pamplona. ao.l 'o take up his winter
quarters there. His Lordship, we are informed, bad
understood, that Solna had set off for Dresden, and
that SUCREr wei in the command of the army at Bay,
onne: One account stated, that SOULT took fifteen
thousand men will him.—Pamplona and Santona
still held out. Their fall was become inevitable from
want of supplies—it was not, therefore, intended to
risque the loss of any men to accelerate it.
An Officer of rank was waiting at St. Sebastian's

to bring home Lnrd WELLXNOTON'S dispatches, which,
we understand, be would write immediately after the

position of La Retitle had been attacked. Sir JOHN
114)PE had arrived, and succeeded General Sir THOMAS
GRAHAM (W!)0 is Coming home) as second in com-
mand of the army. The DICTATOR left St. Sebas-
tian's on Saturday se'nnigtn, in the evening. She
brought. 60 wounded British Officers, and 360 priso-
aers—part of those were taken in the French lines.—
