• BULLETIN.—ARMY OF THE PYRENNEES.
,4 Lieutenant-General Count Bourck informs his Highness
that General Huber entered Ferrol on the 15th of July, at ten
In the morning, by capitulation. The garrison of 2,000 men re-
cognizes the Regency established during the King's captivity,
and continues to do the duty of the place, together with the
French troops.
" We found at Ferrol provisions of all kinds, and some gun-
boats, which are going to be employed against Corunna, the re-
sistance of which cannot be of long duration.
' General Morino entered Santiago on the 16th. Palarea,
with 1,000 men, had left it, retiring to Vigo, to which place
Generals Huber and La-Rochejacquelin are going to advance,
together with the Count of Carthagena.
" Colonel the Marquis de Conflans, sent by General Count
Bourmont, according to the orders of Lientenant-Genet al Count
Bourdesoult, in putsuit of the remains of the corps of Lopez
Banos, in the vicinity of Niebla, has acquitted himself of his
commis'ion in the most brilliant manner. After making him-
self master of the whole coast as far as Ayamonte, he proceeded
to Villaneuva de Los Castillejos, and advanced on the 16th to
La Puebla, whence be pushed a detachment of 30 dragoons,
commanded by Captain Tocqueville' as far as the fort of Pey-
, nsojo, on the frontier of Portugal. At the approach of this de-
tachment, the garrison evacuated the fort, leaving behind 11
brass cannon. The expedition of Colonel Conflans secures the
right of the army before Cadiz.
" The frigate Antigone, of the squadron blockading Cadiz,
has taken the Vittoria from Manilla, a vessel of 500 tons,which
had from 45 to 50,000 piastres on board.
" The Prince of }lohenloe, Commander-in-Chief of the 3d
corps, reports to his Royal Highness, that on the 18th the gar-
rison of Pampeluna made a sally with about 1,200 men, sup-
ported by two pieces of cannon. The attack was made on the
whole front of the Royal Spanish division, and began on the
right; it was everywhere vigorously repulsed. The attack and
defence were particularly lively en the left, where the enemy was
protected by the fort of the Prince, but be was driven to the
glacis by the regiment of the Infant Don Carlos. The grape-
shot and musketry from the rampart, having shewn those brave
men that they had advanced too far, they made their retreat, and
were pursued as far as the valley of the rivulet of Montreal. The
French General Jambn then had the enemy's right flank attacked
by a battalion of the 3d light regiment, and obliged them to
make a precipitate retreat, in wkich our cavalry sabred a great
number of them. In this engagement, which lasted above two
hours, the enemy left 50 dead on the field, and had a great num-
ber of wounded. The Spanish division had four killed and 52.
wounded.
" I.i.lutenant-General Viscount de Conchy bestows the highest
praises on the valour of all the troops, both French and Spanish,
who were engaged on this day—[Here follow the names of those
ho distinguished themselves]. •
" On the saute day the enemy directed an attack on the vil-
lage of Ausoain ; but the measuies taken by Colonel d' Arsine,
of the 6th, and M. Maussion, commanding a battalion of the 9th
of the line, hindered him front undertaking anything. On the
20th the garrison made another sally with 1,500 men. His dis-
positions were almost the same as on the 18th; but the recep-
tion he had met with rendered him more circumspect: the day
passed in observations oh both sides.
