" MONSIEUR LE Duc—By my Report of the 21st,
I informed your Excellency of the precipitate raising
of the siege of Tarragona by the English, and their
re-embarkation. The necessity of following the move-
rnents of the fleet hai forced me to sacrifice the plea-'
sure I should•have had in congratulating the General
Bertolette and his brave garrison, upon his fine and
vigorous defence, by going to Tarragona. I should
have lost six days, whilst, as soon as I received a Re-
port
from General Maurice Matrhieu, from Reus, and
two letters from General Bertotette, I only thniight of
returning to Valencia, to prevent the English from •
anticipating me.
" The loss of the English at Tarragona has been
immense ; 30 pieces of heavy calibre, mortars, tire.
ships, bombs, magazines of rum, salt meat, &c. have
been delivered to the flames ; but the enemy suffered
still more ccrnsideratile losses nn the night between
the iOth and 21st; signals—firing of cannon - an-
noonced that the immense convoy bed decided to
quit the coast of Catalonia. At day-break, ten large
essets were seen off the mouths of the Ebro; eighteen
rigs or large ships had grounded upon the sands at
rl
the mouth of the river. Your Excellency will be
able to judge of it by the Reports of the Chief des'
Gerdes de la Sancti, which I have the honour to en.'
dole. As soon as I was informed of it. I ordered
essistatice to be g;ven to those vessels ; but the great
oirticulty in arriving prevented their reaching them.
Several ships, detached from the grand convoy, have
returnee:: they succeeded in saving the greatest part of
,the troops and transport_. It appears the enemy lost
bur five ships, witch in general were abandoned.
" As s'ocii at I was informed the enemy had sailed
for the coast of Valencia. I put Musner's division and
Aigremont's brig.rde in march ; by an effort worthy
of praise, they have marched 15 leagues a day, am-,
pious of anticipating . the enemy's fleet at every
oint. All the cieclarations of the Captains whose
vessels grounded state, that the enemy was to have ,
disembarked at Castellan de la Plana, to have sepa•
rated me from the force which I had left upon the
,Xucar.' The astonishing rapidity of the march of
ajour troops, and the violence of the winds have not
llowed the enemy to execute his prijacts ; he re-
mained three hours in sight of Castellan on the 22d,'
and on the same day I arrived there with 4000 men,
' fioo hope, and six pieces of light artillery. Thee fleet,
beaten by contrary winds, appeared before the Grao
(le Valence ; a frigate was detached to t 'ke posses-
son of the small private-q• the Determinee ; she was
close in shore and grounded before Murviedro ; Ge-
rerat Roul.e proceejed ‘‘iti) two companies of gre-
eetd.ers and two pieces or cannon to tier assistance.
A ively musket, y the t aik place, the enemy launched
several bo its &irk! with troops, they attempted to
repulse our peolile, but were so well received, that
they retired with considerab,e hiss.
