on the Chaussie, and fired with effect against several
ft rmed bodies of the enemy in the plain sear the town,
while the column, consisting of the German light
battalions, the brigade of. Guards, and a Spanish di-
vision of General Giron's, continued to advance by
the Chausbhe. Two Spanish battalions, and one Por-
tuguese, forming a separate column on the left of the
ChaussEe, passed quickly on the left of the town.
General Bradford and the line battalions .of the
Germans driving in the enemy on their front, by the

Pampeluna road, and Colonel Longa from the side
of the mountains still more on the right, turning and
forcing, from very strong positions, all the posted
bodies of the enemy on the right of the town.
Still the enemy held possession of the town, which
' was much more capable of defence than had been re-
presented. The Vittoria gate was barricadoed, and
also the Pan:peluna gate on the bridge ; and both
were flanked by convents and other large buildings
occupied by the enemy, and the town was no where
open. A nine-pounder was therefore brought up
under cover of the fire of the light battalion, close
to the gate, which was thus burst open,
It was now dark, and it was not possible to distill-
it.o guish the troops of the different nations engaged,
which gave the enemy, now flying from every point,

an opportunity of escaping with much less loss than

• he must have suffered, had we had daylight.
The conduct of all the troops concerned in this at-
tack was highly creditable ; that of the line battalions
on the Pampeluna road, and of the light battalions
at the .Vittoria gate, was such as was to be expected
frem these distinguished corps, and the column of the
lett did equal honour to the Spanish and Portuguese
arms.

Colonel Longa's corps, after a repetition of long
and severe marches, undertook and executed, with

tI P the greatest spirit, the fatiguing duty of this day, and
..behaved in the most pliant manner. The battalions
, sent from Arpeyton by Lieutenant-GenerarMendi,
sibel repulsed, with great steadiness, an attack of the
enemy, and afterwards pursued him down from the
mountains, taking a good many prisoners.
I have not yet got the return, but I believe above

two hundred prisoners were taken by the two Spanish

corps, and many wounded men were left here. The
enemy's loss in killed, too, must have been consi-
der.thle. ..
This place has, besides the defences at the gates,
new towers to flank the exterior wall,- and a strong
wood block-house in the square, which.shews the im
portance the enemy attacla-d to its (Tcupation.
It would be unjust to tho troops employed in this
assault, not to mention their exempla y conduct when
in possession ; there was no excess committed. The
German „Legion, and Colonel Longa's corps passed
on, and formed immediately beyond the town.

I have tie honour to enclose a return of the killed
and wounded of
.the. British and Portuguese in these
two days, whicl2, considering the nature of the ser.
vice, could not have been espected to be less than
considerable.
