The castle of Burgos commands the pastamq

and the Ist division and Brigadier-General &cell
brigade, and Major-general Anson's rivalry, below
the town.

Burgos is situated in that division of Spain allotted
to the army of the north, and Generaleaffarelli,wlo
had been here on the 17th, had placed in the castles
garrison of the troops of that army, consisting, as is
reported, of 2500 men. The enemy had taken cne-
siderable pains to fortify the castle of Burgos, 'is4
had occupied with a horn-work the hill ot k
chael's, which has a considerable command ore
some of the works of the castle at the distance ofsC9
yards. They had likewise occupied other pa d
that hill with Arches and other works for the protei.
don of their picquets and outposts.
As soon as the 13t division crcged the Marini
on the 19th, the enemy's outposts were driven in
the light infantry battalion of Colonel &edifies
gade, under the command of the Honourable'Mijes
Cocks, supported by Bs igadier-General Pacribi-
gade, and the enemy's outworks on The hill of St,
Michael's, with the exception ot the hornwork, weis
occupied by our troops, which were posted close folks
horn-work.

As soon as it was dark, the same troops, with the
addition of the 42d regiment, attacked And carried by
assati)t the hornwork which the enemy had occupied
in strength. In this operation Brigadier Gaml

talion, .distinguished themielves ; the letter, in par,
ticular, led the attack of the enemy's .posts in the
morning, and entered the hornwork by its gorge at
night. We took three pieces of cannon and (=Cap
tam, and 62 prisoners ; but I am sorry to add that
our own loss was severe, as appears by the enqrscil
return.

It was impossible to ascertain the exact eats
of the works of the castle of Burgos, till we had ob!
tained possession of the hill of St. Michael's
Since the 19th, we have been employed is ow
blishing onrselves on the hill of St. Michael's, Indio
constructing those works which are beg calculated to
forward our future operations.

The whole of the army have crgssed the Atlas!

and was to be at Oropesa on the 18th.
