FOREIGN-MICE, NOVEMBER 27.
ADispotch, of which the following is a Copy, vras this Day
received by Earl Bathurst, bis Majesty's Principal Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, from Colonel Carrol, dated Army of
the Left, Head Quarters, Salamanca, October 26, 1809.
SIR—I have the honour to acquaint you, that on
the List instant, the Duke del Parque mpved forward
with his army from Tamames to Carraseal del Obis-
po, and having pushed on a column towards Matilda
and Jejo, (as if with an intention of approaching Sa-
lamanca, by Muniguela) proceeded to his left by a
rapid Lucid movement towards Ledesma, where we
crossed the Tormes on the 23d. On the 54th we ar-
rived at Ainanara, and on the morning of yesterday
(the 25th) reached the heights which command Sa-
lansanca to the Northward, where the Patriots had
the mortification to learn that the enemy, having had
I intimation of onr approach, evacuated the town the
preceding night, retreating precipitately to Toro,,
taking with him d quantity of church plate, and other
articles of plund'r.
The entrance of our army into this town yesterday,
presented a mast gratifying spectacle. The different
brigades, successively forming in the spacious and
beautiful square, proclaimed with loud'and reiterated
vivas, their beloved Fernando, whilst the bands of the
different corps played several popular and patriotic
airs ; nor did the zeal of the Patriots suffer them to!
omit the tribute of their gratitude to their sincere and
firm ally; and GOD save King George and Fernando,
were alternately repeated during the entire of the day.
Amidst the universal joy which pervaded our ranks,
a small portion of regret was discernible, occasioned
by the escape of the enemy, which the soldiers had
already considered as their captives.
The advance of our column by Matilla, induced
.the enemy to suppose that we should have approach-
ed Salamanca by Muniguela, and consequently drew
their attention to that quarter, which presented them
many favourable positions, and from whence the pas-
sage of the Tormes is difficult.
So judicious, rapid, and masked was our march
by Ledestna, that the enemy was totally ignorant of
our real point of attack, until our arrival at Alma-
nara, a village al#out three leagues from hence.
It is a well ascertained fact, that the first intima-
tion General Marchand had of our approach from
Ledesma, reached him at Aix o'clock on the evening
of the 24th ; at eight o'clock his orders for retreat
were issued with the utmost secrecy to the Comman-
ders of brigades ; at ten o'clock the infantry, and at
twelve the cavalry, commenced their march ; and so
great was their apprehension of pursuit, that they did
not halt until they reached Toro.
The enemy's loss in killed and prisoners, at the
brittle of Tamames, exceeds twelve hundred ; and
front every information we can collect, from the best
authorities here, their wounded amounts to two thou-
sand, of which number a great
_proportion are offi-
cers : one General, one Colonel, several subaltern',
Officers, and seventy-five privates died of their wounde
on the night of their retreat 'from Tamames. •
Illuminations will take place here this night, and
to-morrow a solemn Te Deum will be celebrated in
thanksgiving for the signal victory gained at Tama.
mes over the enemies of liberty and religion.
The victory of Tamames, and our entrance to Sa-
lamanca, will no doubt prove highly beneficial to our
cause. This army (which will daily increase in num-
bers) now feels a degree of confidence in its powers
hitherto unknown to it. I have the honour to be, &c.

- Marchand, in consequence of the

LY D. Julian Sanchei, .the ter-
/tench in the plains of Castile, issued a
'Proclamation rot the 28th -of September, £l ell with'
invectives against those brave .fellows, and also
against the wealthy inhabitants of Salamanca and its
environs ; accusing the latter of using all their means
arid influence to increase the evils of which he com-
plains, instead of doing their utmost to enforce good
order and submission to the has.
The Government has received very satisfactory ac-
counts (reaching the I7th ult.) respecting the bril-
liant progress which the patriotic insurrection is
making in Moja, Navarre, Alaba, and the eastern
confines of Old Castile. The commandants of parti-
sans, Angulo And Alopso, attacked the Ftench at
Birbiesca, and killed 14 ofthem. The commandant
Benito surprised 60 Frenchmen at S. Maria del Cabo,
he killed one and.pursued the rest as far as Pancorbo.'
The commandant Salazar attacked and carried off a
convoy of five waggons, laden with muskets, and
four barrels of powder, going from ,Pancorbo to
Burgos. Be took mine of the escort prisoners. .
On the sth ult. an hour before day-break, the
Commandant Dr. D. Miguel Orme, penetrated with
his party into Salvatierra, by. the gate of Logrono,
which he found open, and after repulsing the guard,
and some ski wishing in the meets, in which fbur
Frenchmen were killed, he took prisoners a Colonel
and 21 men, and carried off 82 muskets. He then
marched to attack a French party coming from Vic-
toria, of whom he killed three, and took four priso-
ners. The second insurrection is successfully kept up
in Rioja.
Since the interception of the mails forwarded from
Madrid for France, on the 18th and 21st of Sep-
tember, they have been sent by way of Soria ; and
the posts have always been atttended by a numerous
escort of cavalry.
On the 9th ult. several Spaniards of consideration
were sent off from Madrid to Bayonne, as hostages or
prisoners.
Since the evacuation of Molina and the district of
Siguenza by the French, the Junta of the latter city
have resumed their usual labours, in arming the pro-
vince of Guadalavara, and annoying a*d cutting off
in detail their persecutors.
Nov 11.—The agreeable scenes of the 25th and
26th of last Jely have been repeated in Madrid. The
French have all fallen back upon the Retiro, and the
degenerate Spaniards have put themselves under their
protection. Infatuated wretches rthere cannot be a
clearer proof of the proximity of our army to the ca.,
pital, and of the state of the enemy's force. TheiJ
people of Madrid with uplifted arms, and our armies,
supplied with every necessary, marching without in-
termission towards the enemy, overcoming every ob-
stacle, what a glorious prospect !—We have just
learnt that the patriotic troops, to the number of
14,000 infantry and 4000 cavalry, have entered Aran.
jue

Nov. 12.—The letters from Barcelona, which came'
down to the 10th of October, are expressed in the fol-
lowing manner :—" Here we endure much misery,
but as our difficulties are more or less, we infer that'
we are more or less near the termination of our capti-
vity, and it; proportion as thes increase, so do our
hopes and satisfaction."
NOVEMBER IS.—Lieutenant-General Don Manuel
Freire, General in Chief of the Cavalry of the Army
of La Mancha, has written under date of the 6tk inst.
, the following dispatch to the General in Chief: '
Six o'Clock in the Evening.
I have just alighted in lVfadrllejos, after pursuing the enemy,
who has rettested from Mora, as he has also done from Consue•
gra and Camanas, so that the cavalry is stationed in the towns
assigned to it, excepting that the regiments which were to have
thmained at Urda have advanced to Consuegrs. The whole day
has been one continued attack, from Puerto Lapice to two league&
beyond that town. The farce opposed to us at the three differ-
ent points I estimate at from 2600 to $OOO cavalry. The enemy
has cavalry at Tembleque and La Guardia. To morrow we shall
see if they will share the same fate as these. The troops bare
displayed the greatest valour, and observed the best order. We
have had both killed and wounded; but I cannot yet inform your
Txcellency of the particulars.
(Here follows a detailed account of a battle fought on the Bth
November, is the vicinity of La Guardia, by the troops under
General Freire, which terminated in the defeat of the enemy ;
his dispatch concludes by saying]
At eight clock at night, the enemy evacuated °cane, and
proceeded towards Aranjeez, according ro intelligence I received
from that town this morning. (Signed) MaNuas. Fume.
Dated from Tembleque, November, 1809
NOVEBIBER 14:—Our cavalry continues to cover it.
self with glory. The enemy's horse, pursued as far
as Ocana, endeavoured to take post between that
place and Guardia ; but they were speedily dislodg-
ed, with the loss of 250 killed, although our troops
did not obtain victory at a cheap rate. The head-
quarters have been removed frem Tembleque to Bar-
rios ; the army is pushing forwards without any
delay, and the cavalt y hangs continually on the rear
of the French. The Duke del Parque occupies the
heights of Pena de Francia, where he is under no
kind of apprehension of the French, who have ar-
rived in the vicinity of Salamanca with a force
amounting to about 20,000 men. The enemy has
relinquished the intended enterprise against Lerida,
where a fresh patriot army is forming. The French
contiuue to fortify El Retiro ; and in the Chinese
house they have mounted cannon, pointed against
the place. When they were in La Aancha, they said
that they would be followed by an army of 100,000
men, to make the conquest of Seville. A corps of
10,000 men has marched from Toledo, in the direC.
lion of Talavera.
NOVEMBER 15.—Our head-quarters must have ar-
rived at Aranjuez ; the French in Old Castile endea•
voured to draw the Duke del Parque into the plains. I
