SIR—I have the honour to report to you, that a
body of the enemy's cavalry, consisting of two regi-
ments of dragoons and one of chasseurs, under the
command of General of Brigade Almand, attacked
yesterday morning the Portuguese piquet at Hino-
josa, which they drove in as far as Ribera, where four
squadrons of Portuguese cavalry were stationed, un-
der the command of Colonel Campbell.
The force under Colonel Campbell being greatly
inferior to that of the enemy, lie was under the neces-
sity of retiring upon Villa Franca, which he did in
the best order. Major-General Long advanced at
the same time from Villa Franca with the brigade of
British cavalry under his command, and Captain Le.
febure's troop of horse artillery to support him.
The enemy, on perceiving the advance of General
Long's brigade, halted on the high ground betwixt
Ribera and Villa Franca. General Long also halt-
ing until joined by a part of his Brigade that had
been detached in the morning to observe the enemy
on the side of Usagre. Wring this interval, I di-
rected Major-General Slade, with two regiments of
his brigade, to move from Los Santos, and direct his
march on the left flank and rear of the enemy.
As soon as General Long had illected the whole

of his brigade, he moved forward against the enemy,
who immediately withdrew beyond the defile at Ri-
bera. General Long passed through the defile to
the right and left of the town, and attacked the ene-
my with much spirit, whilst the artillery fired with
great effect from the high ground on the Villa Franca
side of the defile. The enemy retired rapidly upon
Hinojosa, closely followed ; from Hinojosa the ene-
my retired to Leira, and from thence to Valencia de
Torres. They were followed as far as Leira. At
Hinojosa the two regiments under Major-General
Slade joined Major-General Long's brigade, having
made a very rapid march at a trot from Los San;os,
but from the great distance could not arrive in suffi-
cient time to cut off the enemy's retreat upon Leira.
Major-General Long speaks in the highest terms
of all the troops under his command, particularly the
horse artillery, who displayed great activity in their
movements and precision in their fire, by which the
enemy suffered very considerably.
The loss of the enemy on this occasion has been
about thirty men and a great many horses killed,
eleven men and about thirty horses taken. The loss
upon our side has been only one man killed and seven
wounded. I have the honour to be &c.

point where he was more immediately engaged ; and
his report is sufficiently circumstantial, and, as far as
can judge, correct, to render it unnecessary for me
to espatiate on the subject.
I received 'the report of the enemy's advance up-
on Ribera too late to admit of my preventing his
occupying that town and the commanding heights

ferently represented, that, having three troops of the

against him until they could be recalled ; and as the

DOWNING STREET, AUGUST U.
A Dispatch, of which the following is an extract, has been this
day received at the Earl or Bathurst's Office from General the
Marquess of Wellington, K. B. dated Cuellar, 9th Aug. 1812.
The French army of the centre, after having
passed through the Guadarrama pass, and after its
head l.ad art ived at the Venta de San Raphael, re-
turned to Segovia, where Joseph Bonaparte arrived

on the 27th July, at night. The object of this
movement was apparently to divert the allied troops
from the pursuit of army of Portugal, and to
enable .she latter• to maintain themselves upon the
Douro; •in which, however, the enemy did not suc-
ceed. 'Their real-guard remained in some strength
on the left of the Douro, daring the 28th and 29th;
but the light arid Ist 'dietitians, and the cavalry,
having crossed the Eresma and Cega rivers on the
latter day, the enemy's rear-shard retired during the
night across the Douro, and thence followed the
inovements of the main body towards Villa Vallee,
- •
abandoning Valladolid, and leaving there 17 pieces
of cannon, a large quantity of shot and shells and
other stoles, and their hospital, with about 800 sick
11114 wottnc ed.
The General-iiuChief Macquinez took SOO pri-
Otters* ia the neighbourhcod of Valladolid, en the
SOtb.; our advanced guard'irossed the Dour% 'and
Our parties entered Valladolid on the same day; end
had the satisfaction of being received by the people
in that city with the same enthusiastic joy, as I had
been in all other parts of the country.
The army of Portugal having thus crossed and
quitted the Douro, it was necessary to attend to the
movements of the army-of the centre, and to preient
a junction between the two on the Upper Douro,
which, it tvas reported, was intended.
While, therefore, the advanced-guard and left con-
tinued the pursuit of the army of Portugal, I moved
the right along the Cega to Cuellar, where I arrived
on the lit instant

Joseph Bonaparte retired from Segovia on the '
morning of the I st, and marched through the Qua-
derrama ; and he left at Segovia an advanced-guard,
principally of cavalry, under General Espert ; hav-
ing destroyed the cannon and ammunition which
were in the castle, having carried off the church plate
and other valuable property, and having levied a con.
aiderable conzribution op the inhabitants of the town..

I sent to Segovia yesterday under Brigadier-General
P'Urban, had entered the town.

My admiration of the conduct of the artillery under

the former, and Lieutenan t Edwards of the latter

copy of a letter from Lord George Stuart, Captain
of his Majesty's ship Horatio, giving an account of
the capture, by the boats of that ship, of two Danish
armed vessels, and an American ship, their prize, on
the coast of Norway, in which their Lordships will
pert i ive a degree of persevering bravery, its the
highest degree honourable to all who were engaged;
but the more their gallant spirit excites admiration,
the more it is to be lamented that so many of such
brave officers and seamen should be lost to their

Coast of Norway, 3d August, 1812.
SIR—I have the honour to make known to you,
when in the execution of your orders, running down
the coast of Norway on the Ist instant, in latitude 70
degrees 40 minutes N. a small sail was seen from the
mast head, close in with the land, which we disco-
vered to be an armed cutter before she disappeared
among the rocks. Being anxious to destroy the ene-
my's cruisers, who have so considerably intercepted
our trade in this quarter, I dispatched the barge and
three cutters, under the command of my first Lieute-
nant, A. M. Hawkins, who gained information on
shore that the cutter had gone to a village on an arm
of the sea, thirty-five miles in land, where he imme-
diately proceeded, and, at 8 A. M. on the 2d, she
was discovered at anchor, together with a schooner
and a large ship, which, on the appearance of the
boats, presented their broadsides with springs on their
cables. As a strong tide set the boats towards them,
Lieutenant Hawkins determined to attack, notwith-
standing their ad...antageotts position ; at nine the fire
commenced on the boats (one of which was dis-
patched under the direction of Mr. James Crisp,
Master's Mate, to disperse some small-armed men
collected on shore—this he effected, and returned to
the attack before the enemy struck), and after a most
sanguinary combat, they were carried in that true
and gallant style which far surpasses any com-
ment of mine on its met its, or of the characters of the
brave fellows employed. They proved to be his
Danish Majesty's schooner, No. 114, of six six-
pounders, and thirty men, and cutter No. 97, of four
six-pounders, and 22 men, commanded by Lieute-
nant Buderhof, a First Lieutenant in the Danish
Navy, and Commodore of a division of small vessels
employed on this coast, in person on board the
schooner ; and an American ship of about four hurl.-
