they exceeded 95;003 men. Out. troops fought
bravely for nine hours, during five of which a dread-

possession of a height on our left, acquired an advan-

CADIZ, AUGUST 14,
• Advises have been received from General Venegas,
' that he had been attacked on the .sth by 14 or 15,000
cf the enemy, on the Banks of the Tagus, but that
he had repulsed them with great loss and glory to our
nrros. Oct the 6th he was, we are informed, again at-
tacked, and the enemy again repulsed, our troops
having on both occasions displayed the greatest va-
lour and enthitsi4M.
They write frost Seville, that the advanced guard
of our army.'had an engagement with Soult, whom
they forced to fly disgracefully, taking from him two
pieces of cannon. Lord Collingwood has sent notice,
by means of Senor Coupigni, that Trieste has I.. Pep
evacuated. • .
General Venegas, in diipatches dated the sth, from
the headaquarters at Ocana, sends word, that on that
day the first, second, and third divisions of his army,
covered themselves with glory on the banks of the
Tagus, in Aranjuez, where, being attacked three
times by the enemy with the greatest impetuosity,'
they as often completely repulsed him, the coolness
• and gallantry of our troops being superior to all praise.
The enemy consistedof between 14. and 15,000 men,
and the action lasted from five in the morning till
eight at night.
By accounts received .from General Cuesta we
learn, that the combined English and Spanish army
was at Puente del Arrobispo, on the right andleft
bank of the Tagus, watching Marshal Soult.

" Head-quarters, Ten*!clue, ~st Pk.
" Most Excellent Sir—At half after fib. :a the af'.
ternoon of the 4th, I received a dispatch from Cap.
• rain-General Don Gregorio de la Cuesta, in which he
communicated to me his determination to break up
t;-,at night to follow the English array, which had
matched that morning to meet Souk, who was ad.
vancing by Placentia. As 1 foresaw that the army
under my
,command would be atetcled as soon as
Joseph Napoleon and Victor, who were at Klescas
and Marqueda, the former with 16,000 men, and the
letter with 10,000, shpuld have notice of that move.
•reent, I proceeded on the morning.of the .9.1 i to Aran.
juez, accompanied by the Commandant-General of
the Artillery, and other Officers of the Staff, to ex,
amine the positions of the different corps, and point
oat those which they ought to occupy, in order to,
avail themselves properly of the advantage of the
ground.
" Brigadier Lacy, who, with h 4 division, formed
the vanguard of the bridge of Largo, had two leagues
to maieli to repass the Tagus by the bridge de la
Reyna, the only one in proper condition, and it being
very easy for the enemy to cut off that division, I or-
dered that, leaving there a party of cavalry, it should
rteroat, and take post in Lasdore Callas. I after-
sv,irds resolved that in case of an attack, the Cartil-
ltra do Cerros, immediately adjoining to Antigola,
should be occupied, and that the passage of the river
should be obstinately defended.
ff Having taken these precautionary measures, the
O.IIIV ones which circumstances then permitted, I re-
tired to my head-quarters. But scarcely had I been
there three hours, when I received advice from Bri-
gedier Don Pedro Augustin Giron, who, on account
of his seniority, commanded the three divisions, that
several columns of tl e eaemy's infantry, cavalry, and
artillery, appeared on the bridge Lingo, and that a
part Of them had elready passed it. I successively re-
&tied other advices that the enemy's force continued
increasing, and from every. appearare I. was convin-
ced that the enemy intended a serious attack; and I be-
lieved that they might bring forces upon our rear from
Toledo, or from the ford of Anavte. To meet these
dangers, I ordered Giron immediately to repass the
Tagus at Lacy, that he might take the position in
the Cams de Antigola, whicb I had pointed out, and I
deffnd the passage of the River, and the ether posi-1
?ions,, inch by inch ; and if he should be obliged to
retreat, to retire.tiphn Acana, whence I ordered the
fourth division to march, and take post on the} eights
to the left of the I);gb road from that town to Aran-
. lime, with the threefold view of covering that royal
Scat, if necessity should require, to cover the retreat
of the troops in case of misfortune, and to resist the
expected attack li Toledo or Anavre, seeding a part
of his cavalry in fae direction of that feed to observe
the enemy's troops; and oppose their paAage."'
What follows is the account of the action consequent
.n the attack, consisting chiefly of minute details of
the good conduct: of the several battalions, and three
L.ommanders. •
After some commendations and recommendations

Letters from Vienna afford us reason to hope that
peace sill be speedily concluded. It is said that all
the leading points were agreed upon between the Au-
stria and nutlet before the negotiations in Altenburg
commenced. •
The party which so strenuously and absurdly as-
serted the necessity ofcontiniting aruinous war is now,
since thQ disgrace of the Archduke Charles, generally
despised. The report of Russia having sent a Mini-•
stet- Plenipotentiary to the Congress in Altenburg is
confirmed, and the best understanding still prevails
,between the Emperors Napoleon and Alexander.

Police, and for Foreign Affairs, and Marshals 004.1
