DOWNING4TIM, Avovsr 16.

had been already oppoted to him, still occupying the
same points in the mountain, on which was formedl
'their principal force, but they drew in to their left the
troops which occupied the heights opposite the third
division, and they had, during the night of the 29th
and 30th, occupied in strength the crest of the moun-
tain on our left of the Lanz, opposite to the sixth and
seventh divisions; thus connecting their right in their
position with the divisions detached to attack Lieute-
nant-General Sir Rowland Hi/l. _ _

I, however, determined to attack their position, and
ordered Lieutenant-General the Earl of Dalhousie to

possess himself of the top ir the mountain in his front,
by which the enemy's right would be turned, and
Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Picton to cross the

'Dalhousie, and Sir Thomas Picton, in those of' the
30th and 51st of July.
To the Conde del Abisbal also I am indebted for
every assistance it was in.his power to give, consist-
ently with his attention to the blockade. I have
already mentioned the conduct of the regiments of
Previa and El Principe, belonging to the army of
reserve of Andalusia, in a most trying situation ;
and'the whole corps appeared animated by the same
zealous spirit which per►aded all the troops in that
position.
Marshal Sir William Beresford was with me
throughout these operations, and I received from
him all the assistance which his talents so well qua-
lify him to afford me. The good conduct of the
Portuguese officers and troops in all the operations
"of the present campaign, and the spirit which they
chew on every occasion, are not less honourable to
that nation, than they are to the military character
of the Officer, who, by his judicious measures, has
re-established discipline, and revived a military spirit
in the army.
I have again to draw your Lordship's attention to
the valuable assistance rreceived toughout these
optrations from the Quarter. Master-General Major.
General Murray, and the Adjutant• General Major-
General Pakenham,-and the Officers of those depart-
ments respectively ; and from Lieutenant-Colonel
Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Lieutenant-Colonel Camp-
bell, and the officers of my personal staff.
Although our wounded are numerous, I am.
happy to say that the cases in general are slight,
and I have great pleasure in reporting to your
• Lordship, that the utmost attention has been paid
to them by the Inspector of Hospitals, Dr. M'Gri.
gor, and by the Officers of the department under his
directions.

heights on which flat enemy's left had stood, and to
turn their left by the road to Roncesvalles. AU the
arrangements were made to attack the front of the
enemy's position, as soon as the effect of these move-
ments on their flanks should begin to appear. Major-
General the Hon. Edward Pakenham, whom had
sent to take the comtband of the sixth division; Major-
cleneral Pack having been wounded, turned the vit.
loge of Sorensen, as soon as the Earl of Dalhousie had
driven the enemy from the mountain, by which that
flank was defended ; and the sixth division, and Ma-
jor. General Byng's brigade, which had relieved the
fourth division on the left of our position on the road
to Ostiz, instantly attacked and carried that village.
Lieutenant-General Sir Lowry Cole likewise at-
tacked the front of the enemy's main position with
the 7th Casadores, supported by the 11th Portuguese
regiment, the 40th, and the battalion under Colonel
Bingham, consisting of the Queen's and 53d regi-
ment. All these operations obliged the enemy to
abandon a position which is one of the strongest and
most difficult of access that I have yet seen occupied
by troops.
In their retreat from this position the-enemy lost a
great number of prisoners.
I cannot sufficiently applaud the conduct of all the
general officers, officers, and troops throughout these
operations. The attack made by Lieutenant-General
the Earl of Dalhousie was admirably conducted by
his Lordship, and executed by Major-General Inglis
and the troops composing his brigade • and that by
Major-General the Hon. Edward Pakenham and
IMajor-General Byng, and that by Lieutenant-Gene-
ral Sir Lowry Cole ; and the movement made by Sir
Thomas Picton, merit my highest commendation.
The latter officer co-operated in the attack of the
Imountain by detaching troops to his left, in which the
Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel Trench was wounded, but
I hope not seriously.
While these operations were going on, and in pro-
portion as I observed their success, I detached troops
to the support of Lieut. General Sir Rowland Hill.
The enemy appeared in his front late in the morn-
ing, and immediately commenced an extended ma-,'
=awe upon his left flank, which obliged him to
withdraw from the height which he occupied behind
the Lizasso to the next range. He there, however,
maintained himself, and I enclose his report of the
conduct of the troops. I continued the pursuit ofklie
enemy after their retreat from the mountain to
Olaque, where I was at sunset, immediately in the
rear of their attack upon Lieutenant-General Sir
Rowland Hill. They withdrew from his front in the
night, and yesterday took up a strong position, with
two divisions, to cover their rear in -the- pass of Dona
Maria.
Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland Hill, and the Ent
of Dalhousie, attacked and carried the pass, notwith-
standing the vigorous resistance of the enemy and the
strength of their position. lam concerned to add,
that .Lieutenant-General the Honourable William
Stewart was wounded upon this occasion.
I enclose Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland Hill's
report.
In the mean time I moved with Major-General
Byng's brigade, and the 4th division under Lieute-
nant-General Sir Lowry Cole, by the pass of Velate
upon Irurita, in order to turn the enemy's position
on Dona Maria. Major-General Byng took, in Eli.
zondo, a large convoy going to the enemy, and made
many prisoners.
We have this day continued the pursuit of the ene-
my in the valley of the Bidassoa, and many prisoners
and much bagrge have been taken. Major-General
Byng has possessed himself of the valley of Bastan,
and of the position of the Puerto de Maya, and the
army will be this night nearly in the same positions
which they occupied on the 25th July.
I trust that H. R. H. the Prince Regent will be sa-
tisfied with the conduct of the troops of his Majesty
and of his Allies on this occasion. The enemy hay-
ing.been considerably reinforced and re-equipped after
their late defeat, made a most formidable attempt to
relieve the blockade of Pamplona with the whole of
their forces, excepting the reserve under General Vil-
tette, which remained in front of our troops on the
great road from Irun.
This attempt has been entirely frustrated by the
operations of a part only of *e Allied Army, and the
enemy have sustained a defeat and suffered a severe
loss in both officers and men.
The enemy's expectations of success, beyond the
point of raising the blockade of Pamplona, were cer-
tainly very sanguine. They brought into Spain a
large body of cavalry, and a great number of nuns,
neither of which arms could be used to any great ex-
tent by either party in the battle which took place.
They sent off the guns to St. Jean de Pied de Port on,
the evening of the 28th, which have thus returned to
France in safety.
The detail of the operations will show your Lord-
ship how much reason I have to be satisfied with the
conduct of all the General Officers, Officers; and
troops. It is impossible to describe the enthusiastic
bravery of the 4th division ; and I was much indebted
to Lieutenant-General Sir Lowry Cole, for the man-
ner in which he directed their operations; to Major-
General Anson, Major-General Ross, Major-General
Byng, and Brigadier-General Campbell, of the Por-
tuguese service. All the Officers commanding, and
the Officers of the regiments, were remarkable for
their gallantry ; but. I particularly observed Lieute-
nant-Colonel O'Toole, of the 7th Cacadores, in the
charge upon the enemy, Oil our left, on the 28th, and
Captain Joaquin Telles Jurdao, of the 11th Portu-
guese regiment, in the attack of the mountain on the
30th.

Adverting to the extent and nature of our opera-
tions, and the difficulties of our communications at
times, I have mason to be extremely well satisfied
with the zeal and exertions of Sir Robert Kennedy,
the Commissary General, and the Officers of his
department, throughout the campaign, which, upon
the whole, have been more successful in supplying
Ithe troops than could have been expected.
1 transmit this dispatch to your Lordship by his
Serene Highness the Hereditary Prince of Orange,
who is perfectly acquainted with all that has passed,
and with the situation of the army ; and will be able
to intorm your Lordship of many details relating to
this series of operations, for which a dispatch does
not afford scope. His Highness had a horse shot
under him in the battle near Sorausen, on the 28th
of July.—l have the honour to be, &c.
(Signed) WELLINGTON.
I have omitted to inform your Lordship in the
body of the dispatch, that the troops in the Puerto
de Maya lost their four Portuguese guns on the '2sth
of July. Major-General Pringle, who commaided
when the attack commenced, had ordered them to
retire towards Maya; and when Lieutenant-General
r Stewart came up, he ordered that they might return,
and retire by the mountain road to Elizondo. In the
!mean time the enemy were in possession of the pass,
land the communication with that road was lost, and
they could not reach it.
I enclose returns of the' loss before San Sebastian,
from the 7th to the 27th of July ; and returns of the
killed,-wounded, and missing in the operations from
the 25th ultimo to the -Ist instant.

• July st, 11113.
kir LORD—I have the satisfaction to acquaint
your Lordship thatt_ although from the immense su-
periority of force which the enemy direCted against
the position entrusted to my charge, yesterday—it
became, in my opinion, imperiously necessary for me
to retire from that ground : the conduct of the offi-
cers and troupe, British and Portuguese, was such as
to entitle them to my entire approbation, and I could
not have wished it to be better.
Major-General Pringle, with Major-Gen.Walker's
brigade, under Lieutenant-Colonel Fitzgerald, of the
60th regiment, supported by the 34th regiment, and
14th Portuguese regiment, opposed the ascent of the
enemy to the ridge on the left of the position, in a
most gallant style, drove him repeatedly back, and
although unable ultimately to prevent him from
ascending the ridge, by a more distant movement,
our troops kept their ground firmly, and when or-
dered to retire, performed it under Major General
Pringle with the greatest regularity, and with small
loss, covered by a battalion of the 14th Portuguese
'regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel M'llonald, of
the conduct of which officer, and the steadiness of his
regiment, the Major-General speaks in terms of the
greatest praise.
P Colonel Ashworth's brigade, also attacked in his
position by a superior force, met the attack. with the
greatest steadiness,. and drove the enemy before him
at the point of the bayonet, and held his ground as
long as I thought it prt!deut for him to do so ; and a
battalion of Brigadier-General Costa's brigade held
the ridge on the right of the position to the last, co-
vering the formation of the troops on the ground
they were directed to take up—the enemy attempted
to force the point, but were repulsed by Brigadier-
General Costa, and finally driven down the ridge at
the point of the bayonet by that battalion, a part of
Colonel Ashwosth's brigade, and a small detachment
of the 28th Regiment.
On the whole, I can assure your Lordship that :le
enemy had nothing to boast of, nor was eur loss se-
vere, considering the disparity of our forces.
I feel particularly indebted to Major General Prin-
gle for his conduct on this occasion, as well as to Co-
lt nel Ashworth, Colonel O'Callaghan, and Lieute-
nant Colonel Fitzgerald, of 601.11 Foot, commanding
brigades ender him, and also to Lieutenant General
the Conde d'Amai ante, and Brigadier General Costa,
who was wounded.--I have honour to be, &c.
