meet of the left, right, and centre, should hurl death
and destruction among the hostile ranks. Tour Ma-
jesty's orders were executed. General Leval, with his
divisions got upon the rear of the right flank of the ar-
my of Venegas. General Rey, in close columns,
mounted with the 28th and 32d to the position of the
bill which was on our right ; two deployed battalions
of the 38th ascended by the centre, supported by a bat-
talion of the 12th light infantry belonging to the re-
serve, which General Godinot conducted in close
columns towards the castle. General Belair with the
75th regiment, the Ist battalion of the 58th, and two
of the 12th light infantry, forced the whole right of the
enemy. and the whole army, at the same time, found
itself on the other side of the bill, pursuing the ene-
my with an order and precision difficult to be obtain.
ed at a review. The enemy had removed all his ar-
tillery to about a cannon-shot behind this hill; he had
formed some corps to cover his retreat for a moment,
but, broken by the movement of the troops, and char-
ged with impetuosity by Milhaud's and Merlin's divi-
sions of cavalry, which I had ordered to advance upon
the enemy, as your Majesty had yourself directed me,
the enemy's retreat became a complete overthrow. In-
fantry, artillery, cavalry, were all mingled in confu-
sion ; the French army took 35 pieces of cannon, 1.00
ammunition waggons, upwards of 200 carriages, 4000
prisoners, several standards, and a tia-eat number of of-
ficers ; 4000 dead were left on the held of battle, and
the number of the enemeS wounded is immense.
The hostile army, pursued beyond Mora on one
side, and to within two leagues on Trenebleque on ,
the other, is wandering :thole, dispersed. and no
longer exhibits the appearance of an army. Wanes
himself is flying-, and in his flight outstrips his army,
the relics of which yesterday passed the Guadiana,
by the routes of Alenzar and Hermit. The fugitives
have marched twelve hours without stopping. Their
movement is the more rapid, as, being without artile
lery or baggage, they have nothing to retard them.
None of the corps retreated by the high road of Ma-
dridejos, Puerta, Lapiche, and Villa Haile, which
we yesterday occupied, after a march of 15 leagues
in pursuit of the enemy.
Infantry, cavalry, artillery, all vied with each other
on that glorious day. The infantry surmounted and
overcame every thing ; there was tothing that the
cavalry did not accomplish. The light- horse of your
Majesty's guard took several pieces of cannon, and
charged the enemy with great gallantry.
I must do justice to the talents and intrepidity of
the Generals of Division, Leval, Milhaud, and
Merlin ; Generals Belair, Rev, France .chi, Werlet,
Faultrier, Godinot, and Scirieffers, distinguished
themselves in every way ; and the conduct of Gene-
ral Straltz, commanding the Ist brigade of Merlin's
division, was highly meritorious.
Colonel Dane, the Chief of my Staff, rendered
eminent sr] vice upon that day, and maintained the
reputation for valour and abilities, which he has ac-
quired in the army.
Colonel Daugereau, Chief of the Artillery Staff,
caaeinguished himself, and mameuvred with remark-
able bravery and precision. Lieutenant Brichtel, of
the f"ri regiment of light artillery, and Captain
Tripoc, of the artillery, also signalized themselves.
Colonel Legrand, of the 58th regiment, the Chefs
de Bataillon, Fool-cede and Berlabsorbee, of the same
regiment, Schwekaate, of the 28th, and Folsom, of
the 75th, who commaroled those regiments, behaved
in the most distinguished manner.
Amin the Officers of cavalry, I must mention,
with the highest commendation, Colonels Spare
and Vial i Colonel Jamin, commanding the Light
nurse of your Majesty's Guard ; Adjutant-Com-
mandantd'Allemand, Chief of the Staff of the 2dl
division ; Colonel Roar, of the 21st dragoons ; and
'the Chefs d' Escadron, Bertrard, comma:idiotos the 1
12th ; dragoons Nan: Tit, of the 1 COI ; Caymer, com-
mending the 26th regiment of chassears ; St. Leecr,
commanding the loth ; Messrs. Helsel, Konopika,
and Jaitichtiwsky, Officers of die pikemen (Ion:le:A.
The latter had a horse killed under him, in charging
a party of the enemy, the whole of which l'e took.
I hope yorr Majesty will deign to make known to
our august Sovereign, the General Officers, and others,
who serve him with such zeal, love, and respect ; this
is the reward to which they aspire, and they will be
happy to obtain it. (Signed) Gen. SEBAsTiAsh
At night, your Majesty fixed your head-quarters at
Mora. On the 12th, the 4th corps and the reserve,
proceeded to Madridejos. The enemy's army was
dispersed, and none of the corps could he overtaken.
During these transactions in front of Toledo, the
Duke of Treviso forced the passage of the bridee of
Arzo-Bispo, between Talavere and Almaraz, took
the artillery of the enemy's army, and forced him to
destroy his ammunitioeeeeiggoes and baggage. 1
Mershal the Duke of leelluee !' e ' seconded his li
operations, by advancing as far as A. idea Nuova and i
lierbaraya, :long; the left bank of the Tagus. Your
Majesty, juiaing that the presence of the Ist corps
was no longer necessary un the side next Talavei.t,
ordered it to move towards Madridejos, by Toledo.
Marshal the Duke of Belluno arrived, on the 14th, at
his new position.
Your Majesty thought it necessary to draw the 4th
corps near to Madrid, and returned to your capital'
on the 15th of August, at the head of your reserve, to
celebrate the birth-day of his Majesty the Emperor.
In order to give your Majesty a more complete ac-
count of all the operations, 1 think it necessary to sub-
mit to you the report of Marshal the Duke of Dal-
matia, respecting the movements of the 24, sth, aad
6th corps, teem the banks of the Duero to the Tagus.
