Such is the result of this glorious affair, which
Marshal the Duke of Treviso had the honour to di, •
rcct. The enemy had 18,000 infantry, 4000 cavalry,
and a great number of cannon, under the command
of the Puke d'Albuquerque. The whole were beaten
and put to the mute. We had engaged, on our side,
enly the cavalry, and chiefly General Caulaincourt's
brigade; the ht division of infantry of the sth corps,
commanded by General Girard, and of these only
the riflemen and artillery were in the action. General
Gazan's division followed the movement. The three
divisions of infantry of the 'id e--,rps, which were in
reserve, and burned with imp ttience to engage the
enemy, had no occasion to be cm; Lied.
Meanwhile Marshal the Duke of Eichingen direct-
ed the fords, which were reported to exist helow Al-
mane, to be reconnoitred and sounded. It was in- •
tended, if they were found passahle, to take advantage
of :bent, for the purpose of intercepting the enemy
in the defiles of Leytosa and Jaraicayo ; but Colonel
Ornano, commanding a brigade of dragoons, re
ported, that his search bad proved nnsticcesstul, and'
