SPANISH PAPERS.

• FROM Tilt GOVERNMENT GAZETTE OF SEVILLE, OF

AUGUST 3.

The following two dispatches relative toothe Battle
of Talavera have been received from Gen. Cuesta :

Most Excellent Sir—l communicated to you on
the night before last, in my advices from the left bank
of the Alberche, my suspicions that' I thould be at-
tacked by the forces which the enemy had collected
at Toledo, if I continued separated from the English.
This conjecture induced me to repass that river yester-
day morning,and take the position thathad been agreed
upon with General Wellesley, the two armies forming
a line before Talavera, availing ourselves of the vallks
and the other advantages of the ground. Scarcely
had we finished forming our line in the said position,
when the enemy yesterday, about five in the evening,
presented himself in all his force, amounting, as we
conjectured, to from 35 or 40,000 men, including
5000 cavalry, and attacked with the utmost fury our
whole line, directing their principal efforts against
the left, where the English were posted, with the in-
tention of turning their left flank. The attack and
defence were equally obstinate, till recourse was had
to the bayonet—but at length the enemy were twice
repulsed, with great loss in killed and wounded—the
action lasting till half past eight at night. The Eng-
lish likewise suffered great loss, especially in officers.
Ours has not been considerable. Our troops in ge-
neral behaved with bravery and firmness, except three
or four corps, which manifested some feebleness, of
which I shall speak when more at leisure.
Very early this morning the enemy renewed his at-
tacks, which have continued till the present time, that
is seven in the evening; but they have been repulsed in
all, as I hope they will be in any others they may
make. Joseph Napoleon was present in person till
this evening, but we now know that he has retreated
with his guards, and repassed the Alberche with 98
cars of wounded.

" I have not time to enter into further particulars,
as I have passed three days on the field of battle, with
all my troops under arms.
" God preserve your Excellency many years,
GREGORIO DR LA CUESTA."
" Head-quarters, Talavera, July 28, 1809."
