DOWNINPISTRILT, APRIY 24.
Captain Canning, Aid-de-Camp to dguiral the Earl of Welling-
ton, arrived last night at this Office, bringing di:patches, ad-
dressed by his Lordship to the Earl of Liverpool, of which the
following are extracts or copies.

Extract of a Dispatch from the earl of Wellington, dated Camp

before Badajoz, April 3.

We opened our fire on the 31st of March from 26
pieces of cannon, in the second parallel,to breach the
face of the bastion at the south east angle of the fort
called la Trinidad ; and the flank of the bastion by
which the face is defended called Santa Maria. The
fire upon these has continued since with great effect.
The enemy made a sortie upon the night of the
29th, upon the troops of General Hamilton's divi-
sion, which invest the place on the right of the Gua-
diana, but were immediately driven in with loss. We
lost no men on this occasion.
The movements of Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas
Graham, and of Lieutenant General Sir Rowland
Hill have obliged the enemy to retire by the diffe-
rent roads towards Cordova, with the exception of a
small body of infantry and cavalry, which remained
at Zalamca de la Serena, in front of Bel.ticazar.

Marshal Soult broke up in front of Cadiz on the
23d and 24th, and has marched upon Seville with all
the troops which were there, with the exception of
four thousand men. I understand that he was to
march from Seville again on the 30th or 31st. I have
not heard from Castile since the 30th ultimo. One
division of the Army of Portugal, which had been
in the province of Avila, had on that day arrived at
Guadapero, within two leagues of Ciudad Rodrigo ;
and it was supposed that Marshal Marmont was on
his march with other troops from the side of Sala-
manca. The River Agueda was not fordable for
troops 014 the 30th.

Copy of a Dispatch front the Earl of WELLINGTON, dated Camp
before Badajoz, April 7.

Mr Lotto—My dispatch of the 3d inst. will have
apprised your Lordship of the state of the operations
against Badajoz to that date, which were brought to
a close on the night of the Gth, by the capture of the
place by storm.

The fire continued during the 4th and sth against
the face of the bastion of La Trinidad, and the flank
of the bastion of Santa Maria ; and on the 4th, in the
morning, we opened another battery of 6 guns, in the
second parallel, against the shoulder of the ravelin of
St. Roque, and the wall in its gorge.
Practicable breaches were effected in the bastions
above-mentioned, in the evening of the sth ; but as
I had observed that the enemy had entrenched the
bastion of La Trinidad, and the most formidable
preparations were making for the defence as well of
the breach in that bastion, as of that in the bastion of
Santa Maria, I determined to delay the attack for
another day, and to turn all the guns in the batteries
in the second parallel on the curtain of La Trinidad,
in hopes that by effecting a third breach, the troops
would be enabled to turn the enemy's works for the
defence of the other two, the attach of which would
besides be connected by the troops de3ticed to attack
the breach in the curtain.

This breach was effected in the evening of the
6th, and the fire of the face of the bastion of Santa I
Maria, and of the dank of the bastion of La Trini• ;
dad, being overcome, I determined to attack the
place that night.
I had kept in reserve, in the neighbourhood of this
camp, the sth division, under Lieut.-Gen. Leith,
Which had left Castile only in the middle of March, ;
and had but lately arrived in this part of the country, !
and 1 brought them up on that evening.
The plan for the attack was, that Lieut.-General
Picton should attack the castle of Badajoz by esca-
lade with the 3d division ; and ade tachment from
the guard in the trenches, furnished that evenitip by
ter 4th divisiogo liader Major Wilson, of the ft4th
